β¦ Synopsis
We present results of our ab initio studies of electronic and dynamic properties of ideal palladium hydride PdH and its vacancy ordered defect phase Pd 3 VacH 4 ("Vac" -vacancy on palladium site) with L1 2 crystal structure found experimentally and studied theoretically.
Quantum and thermodynamic properties of these hydrides, such as phonon dispersion relations and the vacancy formation enthalpies have been studied. Dynamic stability of the defect phase Pd 3 VacH 4 with respect to different site occupation of hydrogen atoms at the equilibrium state and under pressure was analyzed. It was shown that positions of hydrogen atoms in the defect phase strongly affect its stability and may be a reason for further phase transitions in the defect phase.

An extensive ab initio molecular orbital study of the 27 Al nuclear spin-rotation and nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants in aluminum hydride, AlH, has been performed. The 27 Al nuclear spin-rotation constant (C β₯ ), calculated to be approximately 300 kHz, was neglected in a previous analysis of
In serine proteases (SPs), the Hbond between His57 and Asp102 and that between Gly193 and the transition state intermediate play a crucial role in enzymatic function. To shed light on the nature of these interactions, we have carried out ab initio molecular dynamics simulations on complexes represen
Both the abstraction and substitution mechanisms for the reaction of NHf with H-and the abstraction mechanisms for the reaction with LiH in the gas phase have been investigated by theoretical methods. LiH results to be a better reagent and reactions with and without scrambling are competitive in acc
