Título: | Aggregation enhancement of coronene molecules by seeding with alkali-metal ions |
Autor: | Bartolomei, Massimiliano CSIC ORCID ; Pirani, F.; Marques, J.M.C. | Fecha de publicación: | 28-jun-2019 | Editor: | Royal Society of Chemistry (UK) | Citación: | Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 221: 16005-16016 (2019) | Resumen: | Microsolvation constitutes the first step in the formation of cluster structures of molecules that surround a solute in the bulk and it allows for a deep insight into the relationship between the structure of the solvation shells and other physical properties. We propose semiempirical potential energy functions that are able to describe the interaction between K+ or Cs+ with coronene. Such functions were calibrated through the comparison with accurate estimations of the interaction between the cation and the planar hydrocarbon, obtained by means of ab initio electronic-structure calculations. By employing the potential energy functions and an evolutionary algorithm (EA), we have investigated the structure and energetics of the clusters resulting from the microsolvation of either K+ or Cs+ with coronene molecules. The reliability of the results for smaller clusters was checked by performing geometry re-optimization exploiting a suitable DFT level of theory. This has allowed for the characterization of the first solvation shells of planar molecules of coronene around an alkali-metal ion. It has also been found that the presence of metal ion impurities considerably enhances the formation of small coronene clusters leading to much stronger binding energies for heterogeneous with respect to homogeneous aggregates. These clusters could represent relevant species involved in the early stages of soot nucleation. | Descripción: | 12 pags., 8 figs., 2 tabs. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1039/C9CP02658D | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/190932 | DOI: | 10.1039/C9CP02658D | ISSN: | 1463-9076 | E-ISSN: | 1463-9084 |
