摘要
We have investigated the interaction between cobalt-(6) pyrrole [Co-(6)Ppy] clusters and O-2 molecule, including the adsorption and dissociation of O-2 molecule using the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We found that O-2 molecule is adsorbed on Co-(6) Ppy clusters with side-on configuration and the O-O bond length elongated around 10%. The elongation of the O-O bond when O-2 is adsorbed on the clusters will weaken the O-O bond and increase the reactivity of the molecule. The calculated dissociation energies of O-2 molecule on Co-(6) Ppy clusters span from 0.89 to 1.23 eV. The order of the dissociation energy is affected by the amount of the charge transferred from Co-(6) Ppy clusters to the O-2 molecule in the transition state.
