Density functional study of structure and bonding in lithium clusters Lin and their oxides LinO
نویسندگان
چکیده
Density functional ~DF! calculations have been performed for lithium clusters Lin and their monoxides LinO with up to ten atoms. There are numerous stable structures, and new isomers have been found in each family. The structural patterns of the homonuclear and oxide clusters are quite distinct. The combination of DF calculations with molecular dynamics ~MD! sheds light on the observed pseudorotation of Li3 and Li5 . We compare with available experimental data and discuss the bonding and structural patterns in the clusters and their oxides, which are often described as ‘‘hyperlithiated.’’ © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~97!00511-4#

Photoelectron spectroscopy of lithium and gold alloyed boron oxide clusters: charge transfer complexes, covalent gold, hyperhalogen, and dual three-center four-electron hyperbonds.
We report on the structural and electronic properties and chemical bonding in a series of lithium and gold alloyed boron oxide clusters: B2O3(-), LiB2O3(-), AuB2O3(-), and LiAuB2O3(-). The clusters have been produced by laser vaporization and characterized using photoelectron spectroscopy, in combination with the Coalescence Kick and Basin Hopping global-minimum searches and density-functional ...

DFT and QTAIM computations have been performed on numbers of pure nitrogen cluster speciesi.e. Nn (n = 4, 6) for investigating the structure and bonding. This study is critical since thesemolecules have been nominated as the good synthetic targets of High Energy Materials (HEM).0nthe other hand the decomposition mechanism is closely depends on the bonding pattern. Thislatter concept was searche...

The molecular structure of the stable conformation of phosphonic acid in gas phase has beencomputed by employing complete geometry optimization in Density Functional Theory(DFT) methods. The methods used for calculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91 that havebeen studied in two series of basis sets: D95** and 6-31+G(d,p) for hydrogen and oxygenatoms; LANL2DZ for phosphorus. Bond lengths and angle...
متن کاملOrigin of Catalytic Activity Differences between Phosphine and Phosphine Oxide-Based Structures in the Water-Crosslinkable Polyalkoxysilane Composition
Organocatalysts have attracted enormous interest in the water-crosslinking reaction in silane-grafted polyolefins (SGPOs) system owing to their simplicity, low toxicity and environmentally benign nature compared to organotin catalysts, which are most used in SGPOs system. We focus on organophosphorus compounds including four structure types as organocatalysts; phosphoric acids, phosphoric ester...

We present a systematic study of the geometry, energetics, electronic structure and bonding in various Al-Li clusters viz. AlnLin (n=1-11), Al2 , Al2− 2 , Al2Li, Al2Li−, and Al6Li8 using Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics method within the framework of density functional theory. The growth patterns in these cluster are found to be divided in two broad categories: the first consisting of a quin...
