In this study, the potential of boron carbide (B<sub>16</sub>C<sub>16</sub>) nanocage (BCN) as an electrochemical sensor material for A-series chemical nerve agents (CNAs) was investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The adsorption studies reveal the chemisorption nature of interactions between CNAs and BCN, characterized by high negative adsorption energies for A230@SiteC (-95.136 kcal/mol), A232@SiteA (-31.792 kcal/mol), and A234@SiteB (-92.963 kcal/mol). FMO studies reveal that the energy gaps of 1.40 eV for A230@SiteC, 1.61 eV for A232@SiteC, and 1.46 eV for A234@SiteB decreased from 1.80 eV of pristine BCN. The Fermi level energy (E<sub>FL</sub>) undergoes significant shifts in all systems, depending on the density of states (DOS). Topological analyses, including QTAIM and NCI, indicate that the interactions are predominantly of weak covalent or van der Waals nature. The adsorption of CNAs significantly enhances the electrical properties, with electrical conductivity (<i>σ</i>) increasing to 5.98 × 10<sup>12</sup> S/m (A-230@SiteC), 5.73 × 10<sup>12</sup> S/m (A-232@SiteC), and 5.92 × 10<sup>12</sup> S/m (A-234@SiteB).

This decrease in activation energy is accompanied by an increase in the reaction’s polarity, as evidenced by the electrophilicity difference between the reactants and the Global Electron Density Transfer (GEDT) at the transition state. Furthermore, the Bonding Evolution Theory (BET) analysis reveals that the introduction of chalcogen atoms alters the reaction mechanism, shifting from a one-step synchronous to a one-step asynchronous pathway. In this revised mechanism, the C–C bond directly attached to the chalcogen atom forms first, underscoring the significant influence of chalcogen substitution on the electronic and structural evolution of the reaction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":780,"journal":{"name":"Structural Chemistry","volume":"37 1","pages":"111 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146043456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
