Their equilibrium structures, thermal stabilities, electronic structures, vertical ionization potentials, vertical electron affinities, vibrational frequencies and 13C NMR chemical shifts have been studied. The calculation results showed that C36O18 isomers have higher LUMO-HOMO energy gaps than the fullerene C36 and should be more stable. Compared with C36, it is less possible for C36O18 to accept or donate electrons from reduced VEAs and enhanced VIPs. It has been found that C36O18 isomers are not aromatic at all or antiaromatic on analyzing the NICS values. The present study will encourage further theoretical and experimental analyses of this system in future.展开更多

Four equilibrium structures and three isomeric transition states were located and fully optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G（d,p） and G3MP2B3 levels, respectively. Based on the B3LYP/6- 31G（d,p） optimized geometries, harmonic frequencies of various structures were obtained and 29Si chemical shifts were calculated. The solvent effects were investigated by means of the polarizable continuum model using THF as a solvent at B3LYP/6-31G（d,p） level. Isomerization paths for isomers were confirmed by intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations. The calculated results show that tetrahedral structure has the lowest energy and is the most stable; tetrahedral, three-membered ring, and p-complex structures are suggested to be the experimentally detectable ones; and a-complex structure has the highest energy and will not exist.展开更多

Based on B3LYP/6-31G（D） optimized geometries, the electronic spectra, IR spectra and NMR spectra of the oligomers were calculated by INDO/CIS, AM1 and B3LYP/6-31G（D） methods, respectively. The energy gaps decrease, and the absorption in elec- tronic spectra exhibits a red-shift as polymerization increases. The IR frequencies are little affected by the polymerization and substituents. The ^13C chemical shifts are changed to be upfield since the electron-donating groups increase the electron density of carbon atoms but remain unchanged with the increase of polymerization.展开更多

We also classify these methods using statistical analysis. The results of PCA were based on three main components, explaining 98.0539% of the total variance, for the geometrical parameters C3O13, O1O2C3, O13C12C12a, and O2C3O13C12. The DFT method (B3LYP) corresponded well with the experimental data in the hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). The experimental and theoretical angles were analyzed by simple linear regression, and statistical parameters (correlation coefficients, significance, and predictability) were evaluated to determine the accuracy of the calculations. The statistical analysis exhibited a good correlation and high predictive power for the DFT (B3LYP) method in the 6-31G** basis set.展开更多
