Electronic Structure and Stability of Bulky Mercury Clusters

(HBNH)n团簇的结构和稳定性

Structures and thermodynamic properties of the imidoboranes （HBNH）n （n=1-16） have been investigated theoretically at the B3LYP/6-31G^＊ level of theory. Needle-shaped oligomers that violate the isolated square rule were found to be more stable than cage isomers. The needle-shaped oligomer with n=16 was predicted to be exceptionally stable at low temperature, hexamer and octamer clusters dominated the gas phase at higher temperature. The highest oligomerization degree of the spontaneous cluster fomation has been estimated. It was concluded that generation of the gas phase （HBNH）n clusters with oligomerization degree n ≥24 was viable, making these species possible intermediates involved in the gas phase generation of BN nanoparticles.

Diatomics-in-molecules study of the geometric and electronic structure of Xen+ clusters

Dissociation energies as well as electronic and geometric structure of singly charged xenon cluster cations, Xe_n⁺ (n=3–35), are calculated using the extended diatomics-in-molecules method (including the spin–orbit coupling and the most important ionic and neutral three-body interactions) and the state-of-the-art ab initio diatomic curves for Xe₂⁺ due to Paidarová and Gadéa [Chem. Phys. 274 (2001) 1]. Cluster growth of Xe_n⁺ and size dependence of the positive charge delocalization are discussed.

Structure and Stability of (NG)nCN3Be3+ Clusters and Comparison with (NG)BeY0/+

The noble gas binding ability of CN₃Be₃⁺ clusters was assessed both by ab intio and density functional studies. The global minimum structure of the CN₃Be₃⁺ cluster binds with four noble‐gas (NG) atoms, in which the Be atoms are acting as active centers. The electron transfer from the noble gas to the Be atom plays a key role in binding. The dissociation energy of the Be? NG bond gradually increases from He to Rn, maintaining the periodic trend. The HOMO–LUMO gap, an indicator for stability, gives additional insight into these NG‐bound clusters. The temperature at which the NG‐binding process is thermodynamically feasible was identified. In addition, we investigated the stability of two new neutral NG compounds, (NG)BeSe and (NG)BeTe, and found them to be suitable candidates to be detected experimentally such as (NG)BeO and (NG)BeS. The dissociation energies of the Be? NG bond in monocationic analogues of (NG)BeY (Y=O, S, Se, Te) were found to be larger than in the corresponding neutral counter‐parts. Finally, the higher the positive charge on the Be atoms, the higher the dissociation energy for the Be? NG bond becomes.

Stability of Noble‐Gas‐Bound SiH3+ Clusters

The stability of noble gas (Ng)‐bound SiH₃⁺ clusters is explored by ab initio computations. Owing to a high positive charge (+1.53 e^?), the Si center of SiH₃⁺ can bind two Ng atoms. However, the Si?Ng dissociation energy for the first Ng atom is considerably larger than that for the second one. As we go down group 18, the dissociation energy gradually increases, and the largest value is observed for the case of Rn. For NgSiH₃⁺ clusters, the Ar–Rn dissociation processes are endergonic at room temperature. For He and Ne, a much lower temperature is required for it to be viable. The formation of Ng₂SiH₃⁺ clusters is also feasible, particularly for the heavier members and at low temperature. To shed light on the nature of Si?Ng bonding, natural population analysis, Wiberg bond indices computations, electron‐density analysis, and energy‐decomposition analysis were performed. Electron transfer from the Ng centers to the electropositive Si center occurs only to a small extent for the lighter Ng atoms and to a somewhat greater extent for the heavier analogues. The Si?Xe/Rn bonds can be termed covalent bonds, whereas the Si?He/Ne bonds are noncovalent. The Si?Ar/Kr bonds possess some degree of covalent character, as they are borderline cases. Contributions from polarization and charge transfer and exchange are key terms in forming Si?Ng bonds. We also studied the effect of substituting the H atoms of SiH₃⁺ by halide groups (?X) on the Ng binding ability. SiF₃⁺ showed enhanced Ng binding ability, whereas SiCl₃⁺ and SiBr₃⁺ showed a lower ability to bind Ng than SiH₃⁺. A compromise originates from the dual play of the inductive effect of the ?X groups and X→Si π backbonding (p_z–p_z interaction).
