Electronic Switch in the Carbon-Centered [Re12CS17(CN)6]n−Nanocluster
نویسندگان
چکیده
An abrupt change in internuclear Re-Re distances between {Re(6)} subunits in the carbon-centered [Re(12)mu(6)-CS(17)(CN)(6)](n-) complexes caused by the change of the oxidation state (n = 6, 8) is first theoretically shown to be possibly controlled by an external electric field. (13)C NMR signal is shown to change over ~400 ppm (~37G) for mu(6)-C atom together with n. Thereby, the metal cluster [Re(12)mu(6)-CS(17)(CN)(6)](n-) can be considered as a perspective model of a molecular switch.

Synthesis of molecular dodecanuclear carbon-centered rhenium cluster Re12CS17 and its conducting properties
The unique dodecanuclear cluster compound Re12CS17 was prepared and studied by X-ray, complex impedance method and density functional theory (DFT). The compound is amorphous, possesses semiconducting properties. Computer simulations showed that the Re and S atoms at the external borders of the neighboring molecules Re12CS17 can form sufficiently strong Re···S intermolecular bonds, similar to th...
متن کاملA novel low compressible and superhard carbon nitride: body-centered tetragonal CN2.
A novel body-centered tetragonal CN(2) (4 units per cell), named as bct-CN(2), has been predicted here using our newly developed particle swarm optimization algorithm for crystal structure prediction. Bct-CN(2) is energetically much superior (3.022 eV per f.u.) to previously proposed pyrite structure and stable against decomposition into a mixture of diamond + N(2) or 1/3(C(3)N(4) + N(2)) above...
متن کاملSelective detection of cyanogen halides by BN nanocluster: a DFT study
The electronic sensitivity and adsorption behavior toward cyanogen halides (X-CN; X = F, Cl, and Br) of a B12N12 nanocluster were investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. The X-head of these molecules was predicted to interact weakly with the BN cluster because of the positive σ-hole on the electronic potential surface of halogens. The X-CN molecules interact somewhat st...

The energy of the isolated iron-nickel nanocluster was calculated by molecular mechanics method using Lennard-Jones potential. The cluster included a carbon atom that drifted from an inside octahedral interstice to a tetrahedral interstice in [Formula: see text] direction and after that in <222> direction to the surface. In addition, one of 14 iron atoms was replaced by a nickel atom, the posit...
