abstract

  • The geometric, vibrational, magnetic, and energetic characteristics of endohedral, i-Ih, and exohedral, o-C3v and o-C 2v, structures of closo-alanes LAl12H12 with Group I-III metal cations and transition 3d-metal cations inside and outside of the model icosahedral anion Al12H122- were calculated by the ab initio density functional theory B3LYP method with the basis sets 6-31G* and 6-311+G*. The trends in the behavior of these properties are analyzed when the heterocation L is changed in going along subgroups, isoelectronic series, the 3d series, and other related series.
