A Combined Automated Reaction Pathway Searches and Sparse Modeling Analysis for Catalytic Properties of Lowest Energy Twins of Cu 13 .
Journal of Physical Chemistry. A 2018 December 13
In nanocatalysis a growing attention has recently been given to investigation of energetically low-lying structural isomers of atomic clusters, because some isomers can demonstrate better catalytic activity than the most stable structures. In this study, we present a comparative investigation of a catalytic activity for NO dissociation of a pair of the energetically degenerated isomers of Cu13 cluster having C2 and Cs symmetries. It is shown that although these isomers have similar structural, electronic, and optical properties, they can possess very different catalytic activity. The effect of isomerization between cluster isomers is considered using state-of-the-art automated reaction pathway search techniques such as a recently developed artificial force induced reaction (AFIR) method as a part of a global reaction route mapping (GRRM) strategy. This method allows effectively locate a large number of possible reaction pathways and transition states (TSs). In total, 12 TSs for NO dissociation were obtained for Cu13, of C2, Cs, as well as Ih isomers. Sparse modeling analysis shows that LUMO is strongly negatively correlated with total energy of TSs. For most TSs, LUMO has the anti-bonding character of NO, consisting of the interaction between p* of NO and SOMO of Cu13. Therefore, an increase in the strength of interaction between NO molecule and Cu13 cluster causes the rise in energy of the LUMO, resulting in lowering of the TS energy for NO dissociation. The combination of the automated reaction pathway search technique and sparse modeling represents a powerful tool for analysis and prediction of the physico-chemical properties of atomic clusters, especially in the regime of structural fluxionality, where traditional methods based on random geometry search analyses are difficult.
