THE RELEVANT PROCESSES OF ELECTRON TRANSFER and the
CORRESPONDING CONVENTIONAL ENERGY UNITS used are
enumerated by illustrating with isolated water molecule Calculations:
Neutral, Oxidized and Reduced water are considered.

The QM computations are, some of them, by ab initio methods, but
subsequently semi empirical methods are used for quicker optimizations of
larger systems with and without charges. “What can happen to a water
molecule if it is optimized after added electrons or after removal of electrons”
has been the main emphasis before launching into the water clusters with
different number of charges, positive and negative.

In the Contribution to RANCSD2019, Chemistry Department, MCC, Chennai
the 12 water cluster is subjected to optimization by semi empirical AM1
method at the ARGUSLAB computational Chemistry PORTAL : obtainable
as internet resource free of charges, quicker to download and simple to install.
NMR Chemical shifts can reflect the charge movements at various stages of
optimization and illustrations explain how these can be providing information
for the bulk medium reactions with the prevailing intermolecular interactions.
No diffusion is included in the present consideration; only at every stage the
static cluster with the obtained disposition of water molecules is considered.
Random fluctuations would require time averaged situation and diffusion
would require a consideration of displacements of water molecules. These can
indicate how the bulk medium conditions can be regulated for increased
efficiency of photo catalytic process.

Highlighting Certain Mechanistic Considerations: on the Use of
Semiconductor Metal Oxide Nano materials as photo catalyst.

Abstract text:

Typical characteristics of heterogeneous catalysis consist of 5 stages as described in text books: (a) diffusion of
reactants to the surface (b) adsorption of reactants on to the surface (c) reaction on the surface (d) Desorption of
products from the surface and (e) diffusion of products from the surface. After the products formed on the surface
diffuse, there could be further follow up reactions in the bulk medium [R1] and final product that is of interest
would be available in the medium. In photo catalytic processes, typically in Advanced Oxidation/Reduction
Processes (AOP & ARP) , nano material (surface area criteria) semiconductors (band gap considerations) are used
[R2]. The surface reactions consists of electron or hole (as available after absorption of optical photons ) transfers
from photo catalyst to adsorbed reactants (or vice versa). Photo catalytic processes with nano semiconductor
materials have been effective for water splitting (hydrogen fuel) and decomposing toxic organic pollutants for water
purification. Particularly for water purifications decontaminating plants are being envisaged for large scale
purification of contaminated water and the efficiencies of such plants depend on the mechanisms [R3] in the five
stages mentioned above with surface and convenient photon frequency ranges for absorption by nano material (like
TiO2). Till now the efforts towards improving the efficiency of such plants have been putting together the various
experimental findings at the five stages (all independent of one stage from other). The electrochemical aspects with
electrode potential criteria (in Voltage units) with HOMO-LUMO relative energy of molecules (in electron volt
units) and the values in absolute energy units are required to be considered [R2] at all stages to logically build a
scheme for efficiency of plants.

Below is a optimization by semi empirical QM method after charging the cluster
with 4 electrons.

If, at the surface, one
electron each has been
transferred to 4 of the
12 water molecules

As mentioned in the earlier frame, H2O is oxidized for the water
splitting reaction. Is it possible to know by Computational QC, what
would happen if electron gets transferred to water molecule?

All the following products can be identified in the optimized output above:

H2O + e = OH- +H OH- H + H = H2 H2 + OH- = H3O-
H2O + e = OH- +H
OH- + OH- = [H-O-O-H]2-

Results of a similar calculation, with 4 positive (instead of negative) charges on the
cluster, including added Oxygen when organic dye molecule is presented in the
following page.. With reduced oxygen molecules in the medium, degradation of
organic dye becomes evident. And, similar optimization with dye but with positive
charges does not produce as much evidence of disintegration of organic dye.

In the following pages/sheets these above iterative steps are paused after
convenient few steps, the xyz file for the same. This partially (incomplete)
optimized disposition of water molecules is submitted for Proton NMR Chemical
shift calculations by HF ab initio method. And the NMR spectrum is obtained.
Then the optimization is resumed for few more steps and the process repeated until
complete convergence. The results are presented. For these calculation of NMR
spectra is convenient with the online portal www.webmo.net . The limited, only
one minute CPU time was good enough for most of the cases.
These two jobs, 577690 and 577726 are for 12 molecule water cluster, drawn
a priory on the structure editor as guessed starting input, and was subjected to
geometry optimization with the result in 577726. This G.O. could be possible with
ARGUSLAB portal, and the xyz file saved from ARGUSLAB could be imported

to the structure editor at www.webmo.net for calculating chemical shift and the
NMR spectrum.

The water cluster is displayed in the figure above with the Proton NMR spectrum drawn
with 0.03 as line width parameter. This same spectrum could be plotted with1.0 value for
the line width parameter. These NMR spectra can be integrated to check that the total
number of protons was 24 from the start of the GO till the end, even though several
molecular species may occur as a consequence of GO scheme. IN the case of the above
12 molecules, there were 12 identifiable water molecules from the beginning till the end
of G.O. The 1772 steps of optimization have caused the NMR spectrum to be shifted by
4ppm towards the more shielded direction. In the beginning and as well as the end the
cluster of water molecules has been neutral without any electron transfers to or from
the system.

The red colored line is the integrated curve of the blue spectral line. And the green
line corresponding to the height is proportional to the integrated area under the
spectral curve.

4.5 ppm

8.2 ppm

The proton locations in the cluster have been marked (with distinct numbers) and
their corresponding NMR line position are also marked on the spectrum. For a 20
steps of iteration with 2 +ve charges, a remarkable shift of Proton 27 is noticeable
towards the deshielded direction. Thus during the total number of 854 steps (for
convergence) such details reveal what could be the driving forces for the changes
in molecular coordinates and hence clue to the mechanisms (by tracking charges
on protons that undergo drastic changes in chemical shift values). Mulliken
charges on atoms are also displayed in the QM calculation output which can
quantitatively account for the trends. The water molecules with O1 and O34 do not
significantly change on the monitor visuals during the optimization. Conspicuous
changes are at the nearby water molecules. Such kind of specific differences have
been included in the Power Point presentation slides for the case of 2 positive
charges on water cluster and subsequently two negative charges on the cluster.
