摘要
Through the theoretical calculation of structural optimization, vibrational frequencies and atomization energies with one method of density functional theory （B3LYP） and two post- Hartree-Fock approaches （MP2, CCSD（T））, several stable isomers for new three pnictogen dianionic Sb4^2-, Bi4^2-, and （SbBi）2^2- species were determined. For two homoatomic Sb4^2- and Bi4^2- species, there are three stable isomers： square （D4h）, roof-shaped （C2v-1）, and C2v-2 structure with the square isomer being the ground state. For the heteroatomic dian- ionic （SbBi）2^2- species, there are also three stable isomers： rhombus （D2h）, roof-shaped （C1）, and C2v structures with the rhombic isomer being the ground state. The calculated NICS values show that nucleus-independent chemical shifts （NICS） values of roof-shaped isomers for Sb4^2-, Bi4^2-, and （SbBi）2^2- species are all negative, consequently indicating that these roof-shaped isomers possess aromaticities. NICS values for the planar ring isomers are all positive, suggesting that these three planar ring isomers have antiaromatic characters. The aromaticity for the two stable roof-shaped and square isomers are preliminarily explained and discussed with MO analysis.
