摘要

原子团代表了介于孤立原子和大块固体之间的中间状态。它们是阐明化合物从原子或分子尺度到宏观体相物理性质的模型系统。在这里,我们通过粒子群优化晶体结构分析(CALYPSO)团簇结构预测和密度泛函理论(DFT)计算,对中性掺硼氮团簇进行了全面的结构搜索。计算结果表明,BNn(n = 4-16)团簇的基态结构从一维(1D)链演化为二维(2D)环,最后演化为三维(3D)几何结构。有趣的是,引人入胜的 BN12 簇具有三维构型,其特征是一个中心硼原子在不同的方向上连接着四条 N3 链,表现出超乎寻常的稳定性。化学键分析表明,BN12 团簇的出色稳定性归因于硼原子的 2p 轨道与周围氮原子之间强烈的 σ 和 π 相互作用,以及四条氮链上牢固的 σ 键。本研究结果为理解中性掺硼氮团簇的几何结构和电子特性提供了重要启示,并为设计和合成富氮化合物提供了途径。

Structural Evolution and Electronic Properties of Neutral Boron-Doped Nitrogen Clusters.

Clusters represent intermediate states between isolated atoms and bulk solids. They serve as model systems to elucidate the physical properties of compounds from the atomic or molecular scale to the macroscopic bulk phase. Here, we perform thorough structure searches of neutral boron doped nitrogen clusters by Crystal structural anaLYsis by Particle Swarm Optimization (CALYPSO) cluster structural prediction and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The calculated results indicate that the ground state structures of BNn (n = 4-16) clusters are evolutional from one-dimensional (1D) chains to two dimensional (2D) rings, and finally to three-dimensional (3D) geometries. Interestingly, the intriguing BN12 cluster, characterized by a 3D configuration with a central boron atom connecting four N3 chains in distinct directions, exhibits exceptional stability. The chemical bonding analysis reveals that the outstanding stability of BN12 cluster is attributed to the strong σ and π interactions between the 2p orbitals of the boron atom and the surrounding nitrogen atoms, as well as the robust σ bonds along the four nitrogen chains. The present findings offer important insights for understanding the geometries and electronic properties of neutral boron doped nitrogen clusters and provide an avenue for the design and synthesis of nitrogen-rich compounds. .

期刊介绍: Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter covers the whole of condensed matter physics including soft condensed matter and nanostructures. Papers may report experimental, theoretical and simulation studies. Note that papers must contain fundamental condensed matter science: papers reporting methods of materials preparation or properties of materials without novel condensed matter content will not be accepted.
