The calculation results indicate that oxygen atoms tend to adsorb on the Fe(111) surface, and chromium doping enhances the adsorption of oxygen atoms. Nitrogen doping increased the segregation energy of chromium toward the surface by 79.8%, promoting the segregation of chromium toward the surface, which further enhanced the adsorption of oxygen atoms on the Fe(111) surface. The synergistic effect of nitrogen and chromium causes oxygen atoms to rapidly accumulate on the Fe(111) surface, forming a protective passivation film, which is the fundamental source of corrosion resistance. In addition, the d-band center is positively correlated with oxygen adsorption energy, indicating that increasing the d-band center on the surface can enhance the adsorption of oxygen atoms, promote the formation of passivation films, and improve corrosion resistance.

Bromoxynil, widely employed in agriculture, poses a serious environmental concern. This study presents a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the bromoxynil and ozone reactions using high-level quantum chemical calculations, transition state theory simulations, and computational toxicology in the liquid phase. The bromoxynil and O<sub>3</sub> reaction follows the Criegee mechanism by forming primary ozonides (POZs). Density functional theory calculations indicated that the ozone addition to C3C4, C4C5, and C5C6 positions of the benzene ring of bromoxynil is predominant, forming the primary ozonides IM3, IM4, and IM5, respectively. IM4 is the most important primary ozonide, which predominantly yields the CI7 and CI8 Criegee intermediates. The formation pathways of POZs IM3 and IM5 compete with IM4; then IM3 and IM5 decompose into CI5, CI6, CI9, and CI10. The subsequent reaction channels of CI8 and CI10 include their further reactions with O<sub>3</sub>, O<sub>2</sub>, and H<sub>2</sub>O. Transition state theory simulations based on the potential energy surfaces calculated here for the bromoxynil + O<sub>3</sub> reaction indicate that the IM4 reaction yields 42.69% at 298 K, and the branching fractions of IM3 and IM5 are 31.01% and 18.05%, respectively. According to the results of toxicity assessment, the acute and chronic toxicity of most degradation intermediates and byproducts are lower than bromoxynil for aquatic organisms after ozonolysis. The studied reaction mechanisms directly link the kinetics and toxicity of bromoxynil degradation.

The method relies on the construction of a symmetry adapted multi determinantal reference where the constituent determinants are entangled through appropriate Clebsch-Gordan coefficients to ensure the desired spin-multiplicity. The unitary operator, defined in terms of totally symmetric spin-free generators, safeguards the method against variational collapse to symmetry broken solutions. We also propose an energy sorting based adaptive ansatz construction algorithm starting from a pool of totally symmetric spin-free unitary generators to come up with dynamically optimal ansatz. The proposed methodology allows us to build up further search algorithms within a reduced dimensional symmetry-adapted sub-Hilbert-space.
