DFT Study on Molecule C20H10:Five Carbon-carbon Single Bonds Linking Two Pentaprismane Cages

1 INTRODUCTION In recent years, a great number of achievements have been achieved in the field of molecules with cage-like structures, such as fullerenes and poly- hedral hydrocarbons. Each of these molecules has only one cage, such as C60 and dodecahedrane. As is well known, every carbon atom can form four single bonds with other atoms. Since each carbon atom at the cage surface of the carbo-polyhedral molecule only forms three bonds with other carbon atoms, it may form the fourth singl…

采用密度泛函方法,在B3LYP/D95*水平上对4种C12H12多面体分子的构型进行了全优化,计算了其振动频率及红外吸收强度,并模拟了它们的红外光谱图。采用统计热力学方法,在200～600K的温度范围内,分别计算了立方烷生成这4种C12H12多面体分子的热力学函数。由计算得到的自由能得知,这些分子都比立方烷稳定,因此从热力学角度来说,既然立方烷能够合成,这4种C12H12多面体分子也应该能够合成出来。根据计算得到的热力学函数及立方烷的生成焓,求出了这4种C12H12多面体分子的生成焓。     

Theoretical study of two C30H20 isomers with a dodecahedrane cage and two pentaprismane cages sharing two pentagons

Structures, energies, and vibrational frequencies have been calculated for two C₃₀H₂₀ isomers with a dodecahedrane cage and two pentaprismane cages at the B3LYP/6‐31G* level of theory. Thus, two C₃₀H₂₀ isomers have the form of coplanar tri‐cage molecules. The symmetry of one C₃₀H₂₀ isomer is of D_5d and that of another is of C_2V. The heat of formation for two C₃₀H₂₀ isomers have been estimated. Heats of formation of two C₃₀H₂₀ isomers as well as the vibrational analysis indicate that two C₃₀H₂₀ isomers enjoy sufficient stability to allow for its experimental preparation. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Theoretical study on the molecule C30H20: five carbon–carbon single bonds linking a dodecahedrane cage and a pentaprismane cage

Using geometry optimization and DFT method at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory for C₃₀H₂₀, an equilibrium geometry is identified that has the form of polyhedral hydrocarbon with five carbon–carbon single bonds linking a dodecahedrane cage and a pentaprismane cage.

The heat of formation for C₃₀H₂₀ has been estimated in this paper. The heat of formation of C₃₀H₂₀ as well as the vibrational analysis indicates that this molecule enjoys sufficient stability to allow for its experimental preparation.     

DFT Study on Two C4N12O4 Isomers with Pagodane- and Isopagodane-like Structures

1 INTRODUCTION Pagodane (Fig. 1) first synthesized[1] in 1983 has been studied by Prinzbach and coworkers for more than twenty years[2, 3].

DFT Study on a Heterofullerene C_(58)Sn with Odd Number of Atoms

Density functional theory calculations and structural minimization techniques have been employed to characterize the structural and electronic properties of [5,6]-heterofullerene-C58Sn-C2. Since the heterofullerene molecule CssSn has a nearly planar tetra-coordinated Sn atom on the skeleton of cage, it is a heterofullerene molecule with odd number of atoms and a novel molecule. Vibrational frequencies of the molecule have been calculated at the B3LYP/CEP-31G level of theory. The absence of imaginary vibrational frequency confirms that the molecule corresponds to a true minimum on the potential energy hypersurface, and its heat of formation was estimated in this study. Owing to the C2 symmetry of [5,6]-heterofullerene-C58Sn-C2, it is a chiral molecule.
