Using DFT/(B3LYP/wB97XD/B2PLYPD) and OVGF electronic structure methods with flexible atomic orbital basis sets, we examined the series of polynuclear superhalogen anions matching the (BF(BN) F) formula (for = 1-10,13,18-20) containing alternately aligned boron and nitrogen central atoms decorated with fluorine ligands. It was found that the equilibrium structures of these anions correspond to fully extended chains (with each B and N central atom surrounded by four substituents arranged in a tetrahedral manner) and thus mimic the globally stable fully extended (all-) conformations of higher n-alkanes. The vertical electron detachment energies of the (BF(BN) F) anions were found to exceed 8 eV in all cases and gradually increase with the increasing number of . The approximate limiting value of vertical electron binding energy that could be achieved for such polynuclear superhalogen anions was estimated as equal to ca. 10.7 eV.
我们使用密度泛函理论(DFT)/(B3LYP/wB97XD/B2PLYPD)和OVGF电子结构方法,并结合灵活的原子轨道基组,研究了一系列符合(BF(BN)ₓF)通式(x = 1 - 10、13、18 - 20)的多核超卤素阴离子,这些阴离子含有交替排列的硼和氮中心原子,并由氟配体修饰。结果发现,这些阴离子的平衡结构对应于完全伸展的链(每个硼和氮中心原子被四个以四面体方式排列的取代基包围),因此模仿了更高碳数正构烷烃的全局稳定完全伸展(全反式)构象。结果发现,在所有情况下,(BF(BN)ₓF)阴离子的垂直电子脱离能均超过8电子伏特,并随着x的增加而逐渐增大。对于此类多核超卤素阴离子,估计可达到的垂直电子结合能的近似极限值约为10.7电子伏特。
