The combined use of a genetic algorithm and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations allows us to explore the potential energy surface. Our results show interesting effects on the geometries of the clusters on deposition. Two-dimensional clusters in the gas phase become three-dimensional and vice versa.

Boron nitride is a material similar to carbon in its ability to adopt numerous molecular forms, including two-dimensional sheets and three-dimensional cages and nanotubes. Boron nitride single molecules, such as B12N12, have isomeric forms that include rings and sheets, as well as cage forms analogous and isoelectronic to the carbon fullerenes. Such cages tend to be composed of squares and hexagons to allow perfect alternation of boron and nitrogen atoms, which is possible because of the 1 : 1 ratio of boron-to-nitrogen atoms. What about molecules in which this 1 : 1 ratio does not apply? In the current study, theoretical calculations are carried out on molecules of B10N14 to determine energetically favorable isomers. Density functional theory is used in conjunction with Dunning basis sets. Cage, sheet, and ring isomers are considered. Energetic trends are calculated and discussed, in comparison to comparable studies on B12N12.

The quantum chemical study of the hydration of diethyl sulfone was performed by using Gaussian 09 software package. The conformational analysis of the isolated molecule of diethyl sulfone is performed by the restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) and the density functional theory (DFT/B3PW91) methods with 6-311++G(d,p) extended basis set. The analysis of the potential energy surface revealed the existence of four stable conformers of diethyl sulfone with different degrees of degeneracy. The nature of stationary points on the potential energy surface is verified by the complete gas phase optimization and the vibrational analysis. The global minimum is the conformer with two (CCSC) dihedral angles equal 180°. The fractional population distribution of different conformers is determined by Boltzmann distribution. The average energy of the diethyl sulfone molecule in vacuum is calculated. To account the effect of solvent the self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method, particularly, solvent model based on electron density (SMD), was employed. It is shown, that solvent affects on the relative population of conformers. The thermodynamic parameters, in particular enthalpy, for the conformers of diethyl sulfone are determined both in the gas phase and in the aqueous solution. The average energy of diethyl sulfone in water is calculated. It is shown, that although the dissolution of crystalline diethyl sulfone in water is an endothermic process, the hydration of diethyl sulfone molecules occurs with the release of heat. The heat of dissolution of diethyl sulfone calculated by the density functional theory is consistent with the experimental data.

Based on density functional theory combined with low-energy models, we explore the magnetic properties of a hybrid atomic-thick two-dimensional (2D) material made of germanene doped with fluorine atoms in a half-fluorinated configuration (Ge2F).
