Jahn–Teller Instability of Correlated C60 Anions

چکیده
The results of calculations on static Jahn-Teller ground state splittings inicosahedral C 60 ðN 1⁄4 1; . . . ; 4Þ fullerene anions with different types of electron-electron interaction are presented. Multielectron states of anions are determined within a quasy-p-electronic model configuration interaction (CI) method for two active spaces of t1u and t1uþ t1g molecular orbitals. Electron–lattice interaction is taken into account over a linear dependence of the neighbor site resonance integrals on the correspondent length change. The results show that, in opposition to the case of short-range electron repulsion, long-range electron correlation can significantly change the features of the Jahn–Teller splitting.

Jahn – Teller instability in cationic boron and carbon buckyballs B 80 + and C 60 + : a comparative study † Jules
using different DFT methods including B3LYP/6-31G(d), VWN/6-31G(d), PBE/TZP and PBE/6-31G(d) shows that, contrary to C60 , which prefers D5d symmetry, the ground state of B80 + adopts S6 point group symmetry. A D3d structure is identified as a saddle point among the S6 minima of B80 . The distortion of D3d to S6 in B80 + is attributed to a superposition of Jahn–Teller and pseudo-Jahn–Teller eff...
متن کاملOrdered low-temperature structure in K4C60 detected by infrared spectroscopy
Infrared spectra of a K4C60 single-phase thin film have been measured between room temperature and 20 K. At low temperatures, the two high-frequency T1u modes appear as triplets, indicating a static D2h crystal-field stabilized Jahn-Teller distortion of the C60 42 anions. The T1u(4) mode changes into a known doublet above 250 K, a pattern which could have three origins: a dynamic Jahn-Teller ef...
متن کاملA Computational Study to Find the Vibrational Modes Connected with Specific Molecular Structures of Calculated Compound
The purpose of this research is to provide a deeper understanding of the planar high- symmetry configuration instability. In the ideal case, the distortion corresponds to the movements of nuclei along normal modes that belong to non-totally symmetric irreps of the high symmertry (HS) point group of molecule. The analysis of the structural distortion from the HS nuclear arrangements of the JT ac...
متن کاملJahn-Teller instability in cationic boron and carbon buckyballs B80+ and C60+: a comparative study.
This paper investigates the Jahn-Teller effect in the icosahedral cation B(80)(+) and compares the descent in symmetry with that in C(60)(+). For both cations the icosahedral ground state is a (2)H(u) state, which exhibits a H ⊗ (g ⊕ 2h) Jahn-Teller instability. A detailed construction of the potential energy surface of B(80)(+) using different DFT methods including B3LYP/6-31G(d), VWN/6-31G(d)...
متن کاملVibrational cooling in a cold ion trap: vibrationally resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of cold C60(-) anions.
We demonstrate vibrational cooling of anions via collisions with a background gas in an ion trap attached to a cryogenically controlled cold head (10-400 K). Photoelectron spectra of vibrationally cold C60(-) anions, produced by electrospray ionization and cooled in the cold ion trap, have been obtained. Relative to spectra taken at room temperature, vibrational hot bands are completely elimina...
