AB  - Surface modification of Al2O3 powders, prepared using reproducible sol-gel synthetic route with small colorless organic molecules, induces charge transfer complex formation and the appearance of absorption in the visible spectral region. Comprehensive microstructural characterization involving transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, revealed that γ-crystalline alumina powders consist of mesoporous particles in the size range from 0.1 to 0.3 μm, with specific surface area of 54.8 m2/g, and pore radius between 3 and 4 nm. The attachment of catecholate-type of ligands (catechol, caffeic acid, gallic acid, dopamine and 2,3-dihydroxy naphthalene), salicylate-type of ligands (salicylic acid and 5-amino salicylic acid), and ascorbic acid, to the surface such γ-Al2O3 particles leads to the formation of colored powders and activates their absorption in visible-light spectral region. To the best of our knowledge, similar transformation of an insulator (Al2O3), with the band gap energy of 8.7 eV, into a semiconductor-like hybrid material with tunable optical properties has not been reported in the literature before. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations with periodic boundary conditions were performed in order to estimate the energy gaps of various inorganic/organic hybrids. The calculated values compare well with the experimental data. The good agreement between the calculated and experimentally determined band gaps was found, thus demonstrating predictive ability of the theory when proper model is used.

AB  - We performed density functional theory computations to study the structural and electronic properties as the basis of ethylene addition activity for [Ni(XC)4]n (X = Se, S)-extended lattices. We demonstrated that the mechanism of ethylene cycloaddition to a periodic [Ni(SeC)4]n two-dimensional (2D) network is analogous to that previously described for [Ni(SC)4]n 2D sheets and similar to the metal bis(dithiolene) molecular complexes [M(S2C2R2)2] (M = Ni, Pd, Pt, Co, Cu). These nanosheet materials avoid decomposition upon olefin addition, which is one of the main limitations of the molecular metal bis(dithiolene) complexes, as we find the decomposition processes to be thermodynamically unfavorable. Our calculations also suggest that the preferred conformation of the [Ni(SeC)4]n bilayer lattice is parallel displaced, with the Se atoms positioned above the Ni atoms, which is different from the eclipsed conformation found for [Ni(SC)4]n. We also managed to optimize an adduct of [Ni(SC)4]n in the bilayer form, which exceed the ethylene coverage of molecular complexes. We calculate that the preferred three-dimensional geometry of the stacked sheets is eclipsed because of strong van der Waals interactions. Such an arrangement of the sheets indicates that these materials should be highly porous, pointing to the high capacity for olefin bindings. Indeed, a few moderately stable ethylene adducts have been located. Owing to their unique structures and chemical reactivity, these newly predicted materials can be potentially developed as electrocatalysts for olefin purification. © 2018 American Chemical Society.
