Abstract

Among planar tetracoordinate atoms, planar tetracoordinate oxygen atoms (ptO) are rare. The present study establishes the first example of noble gas supported planar tetracoordinate oxygen atoms (ptO). High level ab initio calculations indicate that He and Ne form perfect square planar D4h ptO structures as the global minimum. Detailed electronic structure analyses reveal that the central oxygen atom is bonded through strong covalent interactions. The present finding illustrates the ability of noble gas atoms in stabilizing planar tetracoordinate oxygen atoms and will advance the understanding of unconventional chemical bonding involving oxygen.

期刊介绍： Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
