Paramagnetic species on catalytic surfaces--DFT investigations into structure sensitivity of the hyperfine coupling constants.
Structure sensitivity of the hyperfine coupling constants was investigated by means of DFT calculations for selected surface paramagnetic species. A *CH2OH radical trapped on silica and intrazeolite copper nitrosyl adducts encaged in ZSM-5 were taken as the examples. The surface of amorphous silica was modeled with a [Si5O8H10] cluster, whereas the zeolite hosting sites were epitomized by [Si4AlO5(OH)10]- cluster. Three different coordination modes of the *CH2OH radical were considered and the isotropic 13C and 1H hyperfine constants of the resultant van der Waals complexes, calculated with B3LYP/6-311G(d), were discussed in terms of the angular deformations caused by hydrogen bonds with the cluster. The magnetic parameters of the eta1-N[CuNO]11 and eta1-O[CuNO]11 linkage isomers were calculated at the BPW91/LanL2DZ and 6-311G(df) level. For the most stable eta1-N adduct a clear dependence of the spin density distribution within the Cu-NO moiety on changes in the Cu-N-O angle and the Cu-N bond distance was observed and accounted for by varying spin polarization and delocalization contributions.
