The most stable adsorption structures and energies of four tautomerized forms (keto-1, enol-1, keto-2, and enol-2) of 3-methyl 5-pyrazolone (MP) adsorbed on Ge(100) surfaces have been investigated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation method. Among its four tautomerized forms, we confirmed three tautomerized forms except keto-1 form show the stable adsorption structures when they adsorbed on the Ge(100)-$2{\times}1$ surface as we calculate the respective stable adsorption structures, activation barrier, transition state energy, and reaction pathways. Moreover, among three possible adsorption structures, we acquired that enol-2 form has most stable adsorption structure with O-H dissociated N-H dissociation bonding structure.

We have studied the structures and stabilities of Au6 to explore the origin of the large discrepancy between relative energies obtained from the density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio correlated levels of theory. The MP2 methods significantly overestimate the stability of the non-planar isomer when the double-$\zeta$ polarization quality of basis sets, such as LANL2DZ+1f and CEP31G+1f, are used. However, we show that such preference for the non-planar structure at the MP2 level mainly originates from the large basis set superposition error.

Vibrational properties of dopamine neutral species in powder state have been studied by means of the normal mode analysis based on the force constants obtained from the density functional calculation at B3LYP level and the results of Fourier trans form Raman and infrared spectroscopic measurements. Ab initio calculation at MP2 level shows that the trans conformer of dopamine has higher electronic energy about 1.4 kcal/mol than those of the gauche+ and the gauche-conformers, and two gauche conformers have almost the same energies. Free energies calculated at HF and B3LYP levels show very similar values for three conformers within 0.3 kcal/mol. Empirical force field has been constructed from force constants of three conformers, and refined upon ex-perimental Raman spectrum of dopamine to rigorous values. The major species of dopamine neutral base in the powder state is considered a trans conformer as shown in the crystallographic study of dopamine cationic salt.

The molecular geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies of dibenzofuran in the ground and lowest triplet state have been calculated using the Hartree-Fock and Becke-3-Lee-Yang-Parr(B3LYP)density functional methods with the 6-31G basis set. Upon the excitation to the lowest triplet state, the molecular structure retains the planar form but distorts from a benzene-like to a quinone-like form in skeleton. Scaled vibrational frequencies for the ground and lowest triplet state obtained from the B3LYP calculation show excellent agreement with the available experimental data. A few vibrational fundamentals for both states are newly assigned based on the B3LYP results.

The anharmonic frequency of a local OH stretching mode of a water monomer and dimer was calculated using various levels of density functional theory. The quantum chemical potential energy curves as a function of the OH bond distance were calculated, and they were fitted with the Morse potential function to analytically obtain the fundamental transition frequency. By comparing those values with the frequencies similarly calculated using an ab initio quantum chemical method, the coupled cluster theory including both single and double excitations with the perturbative inclusion of triple excitation in the complete basis limit, the accuracy of various density functional methods in the calculation of anharmonic vibration frequency of water molecules was assessed. For a water monomer, X3LYP and B3LYP methods give the best accuracy, whereas for a water dimer, B972, LCBLYP, ${\omega}B97X$, ${\omega}B97$ methods show the best performance.

A Pt-skin $Pt_3Ni$(111) surface was reported to show high catalytic activity. In this study, we investigated the magnetic properties and electronic structures of the various oriented surfaces of bulk-terminated and Pt-segregated $Pt_3Ni$ by using a first-principles calculation method. The magnetic moments of Pt and Ni are appreciably enhanced at the bulk-terminated surfaces compared to the corresponding bulk values, whereas the magnetic moment of Pt on the Pt-segregated $Pt_3Ni$(111) surface is just slightly enhanced because of the reduced number of Ni neighboring atoms. Spin-decomposed density of states shows that the dz2 orbital plays a dominant role in determining the magnetic moments of Pt atoms in the different orientations. The lowering of the d-band center energy (-2.22 eV to -2.46 eV to -2.51 eV to -2.65 eV) in the sequence of bulk-terminated (100), (110), (111), and Pt-segregated (111) may explain the observed dependence of catalytic activity on surface orientation. Our d-band center calculation suggests that an observed enhanced catalytic activity of a $Pt_3Ni$(111) surface originates from the Pt-segregation.

In order to understand the relationship between molecular structure of Metal-Organic Framework(MOF) and capacity of hydrogen absorption, quantum mechanical calculations and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out on a series of MOF-5 having various organic linkers. The calculation results about specific surface area and electron density for various frameworks indicated that the capacity of the hydrogen storage is largely dependent on effective surface area rather than the free volume. Based on the iso-electrostatic potential surface from density functional calculation and the amount of adsorbed hydrogens from grand canonical Monte Carlo calculation, it was also found that the electron localization ground organic linker plays an important role in hydrogen capacity of MOFs.
