  1. Assessment of density functional theory methods for the Ti-O-Cl species Doug DePrekel, Phu Vo, Kevin Ngo, and Yingbin Ge* Department of Chemistry, Central Washington University, Ellensburg, WA 98926 Mean Signed Error (MSE) of Atomization Energy in kJ/mol • Introduction • Titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are widely used as a surface support in contaminant remediation , photo-catalysis , and dye-sensitized solar cell manufacturing. • The production of TiO2 nanoparticles via the oxidation of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) is important; yet its mechanism is little known. Experimental data are limited. Study of Ti-O-Cl thermochemistry is challenging. • B97-1 density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out to obtain the thermochemical and kinetic data of Ti-O-Cl species.1-2 Yet questions remain: • How accurate is B97-1 for the Ti-O-Cl species? • Are there more accurate DFT methods for these species? Mean Unsigned Error of Bond Length in pm Green: Pure DFT Blue: Hybrid DFT Purple: Double-hybrid DFT Blue: Hybrid DFT Purple: Double-hybrid DFT Mean Unsigned Error of Vibrational Freq. in cm-1 • Benchmark Calculations • CR-CC(2,3)3-5: left eigenstate completely renormalized coupled cluster singles, doubles, and non-iterative triples • CR-CC(2,3)/cc-pVTZ optimized geometry • <0.5 pm error in bond length; <0.5o error in bond angle • CR-CC(2,3)/cc-pVTZ vibrational frequencies • CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ singlet point energy • <5-10 kJ/mol error (chemical accuracy) Mean Unsigned Error (MUE) of Atomization Energy in kJ/mol Green: Pure DFT Blue: Hybrid DFT Purple: Double-hybrid DFT • Conclusions • B97-1 is reasonably accurate for the Ti-O-Cl species with 32 kJ/mol MUE in atomization energy, 3.9 pm MUE in bond length, and 24 cm-1MUE in vibrational frequency. • B3LYP is more accurate with 22 kJ/mol MUE in atomization energy, 2.5 pm MUE in bond length, and 25 cm-1 MUE in vibrational frequency. • Hybrid DFT methods are significantly more accurate than the corresponding pure ones for the Ti-O-Cl species. • Hybrid DFT methods are much faster and as accurate as the double-hybrid ones. • Density Functional Theory Calculations • “Pure” DFT with exchange and correlation depending on • () + () • BLYP, BP86, BPW91, LSDA, M06-L, PBE, PW91, TPSS • Hybrid DFT with some Hartree-Fock exchange included • where = )). • B3LYP, B3P86, B3PW91, B97-1, B97-2, M06, M06-2x, M06-HF, PBE0, TPSSh • Double-hybrid DFT with some HF exchange and some MP2 correlation included (slow) • , • where = )), • = )). • B2PLYP,mPW2PLYP • The 6-311+G(d) basis sets are used in all DFT calculations.
