Ag60纳米颗粒[{Cl@Ag12}@Ag48(dppm)12]的结构(其中dppm=双(二苯基膦基)甲烷

本文合成一种新的双膦连接Ag₆₀纳米团簇[{Cl@Ag₁₂}@Ag₄₈(dppm)₁₂],并通过X射线晶体学进行表征. 二十面体的银处于核心位置,里面是中心氯化物组成,外面有48 个银原子/离子的包裹,顶端是12个双(二苯基膦基)甲烷(dppm)配体. 同时利用密度泛函理论对阳离子[{Cl@Ag₁₂}@Ag₄₈(dppm)₁₂]⁺进行计算,以确定该结构是否对应于核心数n=58的超原子. DFT计算的优化结构与X射线一致,但是HOMO-LUMO的能差并不能保证其超级稳定性.

A comparative study on geometries,stabilities, and electronic properties between bimetallic AgnX（X=Au,Cu;n=1-8）and pure silver clusters

Using the meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) exchange correlation TPSS functional, the geo- metric structures, the relative stabilities, and the electronic properties of bimetallic Ag n X (X=Au, Cu; n=1–8) clusters are systematically investigated and compared with those of pure silver clusters. The optimized structures show that the transition point from preferentially planar to three-dimensional structure occurs at n = 6 for the Ag n Au clusters, and at n = 5 for Ag n Cu clusters. For different-sized Ag n X clusters, one X (X=Au or Cu) atom substituted Ag n+1 structure is a dominant growth pattern. The calculated fragmentation energies, second-order differences in energies, and the highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO–LUMO) energy gaps show interesting odd–even oscillation behaviours, indicating that Ag 2,4,6,8 and Ag 1,3,5,7 X (X=Au, Cu) clusters keep high stabilities in comparison with their neighbouring clusters. The natural population analysis reveals that the charges transfer from the Ag n host to the impurity atom except for the Ag 2 Cu cluster. Moreover, vertical ionization potential (VIP), vertical electronic affinity (VEA), and chemical hardness (η) are discussed and compared in depth. The same odd–even oscillations are found for the VIP and η of the Ag n X (X=Au, Cu; n=1–8) clusters.

Density function study transition metal chromium-doped alkali clusters: the finding of magnetic superatom

The structures, stabilities and magnetic properties of CrX_n (X = Na, Rb and Cs; n up to 9) clusters are studied using density functional theory to search for the stable magnetic superatoms. The geometrical optimisations indicate the ground-state structures of CrX_n evolve toward a close packed structure with an interior Cr atom surrounded by X atoms as the cluster size increase. Their stabilities are analysed by the relative energy, gain in energy (ΔE(n)) and the highest unoccupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gaps. Furthermore, the magnetic moments of CrX_n clusters show an odd–even oscillation. Here, we mainly focus on the CrX₇ (X = Na, Rb and Cs) clusters due to the same valence count as the known stable magnetic superatoms VNa₈, VCs₈ and TiNa₉. Although these clusters all have a filled electronic configuration 1S²1P⁶ and large magnetic moment 5 μ_B, our studies indicate that only CrNa₇ is highly stable compared to its nearest neighbours, while CrRb₇ and CrCs₇ clusters are less stable. This suggests that Cr-doped Na₇ is most appropriate for filled electronic configuration and CrNa₇ is shown to be a stable magnetic superatom. More interesting, we find CrRb₈ and CrCs₈ with the filled electronic configuration 1S²1P⁶ have higher stability and large magnetic moment 6 μ_B in their respective series.     

On the covalence in coinage-metal halides M3X3 (M = Cu,Ag and Au,X = F – I)

Systematic theoretical investigations have been performed to understand the periodicity, structures and interactions of the coinage-metal halide series, M₃X₃(M = Cu, Ag and Au, X = F – I) at MP2 theoretical level with extended basis sets. Mechanisms of M–X and M–M interactions were investigated by natural bond orbital analyses, natural resonance theory, electron localisation function, electron density deformation, atoms in molecules and visualised by reduced density gradient analyses. Periodic trends are found in the bond length, stability and covalent nature of the M–X and M–M interactions. As expected, increased covalence when halogens become heavier and Au–Au and Au–X interactions contain enhanced covalence in comparison with lighter congeners Cu₃X₃ and Ag₃X₃.     

Characterisation of superalkaline-earth-metal halides,hydroxide and chalcogenides

A new series of superalkaline-earth-metal compounds Al₁₄X (X = F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, I₂, (OH)₂, O, S) has been investigated at the TPSS/Def2-TZVPP level. It is found that both interaction position and mode between Al₁₄ and X ligands influence isomer stability of the resulting superatom compounds. On the one hand, the top and bottom sites of Al₁₄ have higher reactivity relative to middle ones. On the other hand, different ligands favour different binding patterns when combining with Al₁₄. For example, the halogen ligands prefer to occupy on-top sites of Al₁₄. In contrast, the end-on bound configurations are the least favourable ones for Al₁₄ oxide. Natural population analysis indicates that the Al₁₄ cluster donates electrons to X ligands. Atoms in molecules analysis also suggests ionic bond character of the connection(s) between Al₁₄ and X moieties. Thus, the Al₁₄X compounds are much like divalent salts where superatom Al₁₄ behaves just like an alkaline-earth-metal atom. Furthermore, considerable dissociation energies and large highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gaps confirm stability of these superatom compounds.     

Superatomic properties of transition-metal-doped tetrahexahedral lithium clusters: TM@Li14

ABSTRACT

The lowest energy structure of Li₁₅ cluster is a capped double centred square antiprism sharing a square face. Interestingly, when a lithium atom is substituted by a transition-metal atom TM (TM?=?Sc, Ti, V, Y, Zr, Nb, Hf, Ta and W), the lowest energy structure is found to be cage-like with a D_6d symmetry, where the outer cage is composed by fourteen lithium atoms with an endohedral transition-metal atom. The unique structures are confirmed by CALYSPO structure prediction method code and density-functional theory calculations. Superatomic properties are confirmed in all the D_6d clusters. Energy calculations predict that they are very stable, and their stability is further enhanced by the large gaps of the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO–LUMO gaps). Our findings offer potential applications in building blocks for assembling materials with superatoms.     

Novel (Li2X)+(LiX2)− supersalts (X = F,Cl) with aromaticity: a journey towards the design of a new class of salts

LiF₂ and Li₂F can be considered as representatives of main group superhalogens and superalkali species, respectively. For the first time, we present a study on the interactions between LiX₂ and Li₂X, for X = F, Cl. Our findings show that this interaction leads to the formation of ring-shaped Li₃X₃ supersalts. The quantum theory of atoms in molecule (QTAIM) approach is used to discuss superatomic bonding in these novel species. The aromatic character of Li₃X₃ rings is established by QTAIM in addition to various chemical-reactivity-based measures. Thus, the present work opens up an avenue to further investigate these new classes of aromatic species, theoretically as well as to synthesise them, experimentally.
