Hydrogen storage using Li+ decorated bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene molecule: A theoretical investigation
摘要
Ab initio calculations were used to analyze triply interactions of bicycle [2.2.1] hepta-2,5-diene (BCH), Li+, and nH2 (n = 1–13) molecules at the MP2/6–311 + + G(d,p) computational level. The C = C double bonds at the BCH molecule have enough potential to get Li+ to absorb H2 molecules and form (BCH)Li(H2)n+ aggregates. Our results indicate that up to 4H2 molecules through Li-bonding can associate with Li+ on (BCH)Li+, the rest of H2 molecules by C-H…H2 dihydrogen bond or H2…H2 hydrogen bond interactions have been added to the (BCH)Li(H2)4+ to give greater (BCH)Li(H2)n+ complexes. Also, Li…H2 Li-bonding is stronger than C-H…H2, and H2…H2 is the weakest interaction in this series. The results show that the interaction energy of the H2 molecules on (BCH)Li(H2)n+ complexes decreases with increasing number of H2 molecules. The vibrational spectrum of the optimized (BCH)Li(H2)n+ complexes shows that stretching frequencies of C = C and H2 show redshifts and blue shifts with complex formation, respectively. The cooperativity in (BCH)Li(H2)n+ complexes has been evaluated. The structures of complexes have been analyzed using AIM and NBO methodologies.
