Abstract:In this article, the activation of NÀ O bonds in NO 2 molecules has been investigated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Considering the graphene-based MnN 4 layer, nitrogen atoms in the porphyrin unit were sequentially replaced with oxygen atoms to create different MnN m O n /G (m + n = 4 and 1 < m � 4) layers. As more oxygen atoms are incorporated in porphyrin units for bare layers, the covalent character of the MnÀ O bonds is switched to the transit nature with respect to MnÀ N bonds. Moreover… Show more
