Abstract:

The structures, energies, stabilities and spectroscopies of doublet C4H2+ cations were explored at the DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p), CCSD(T)/6-311+G(2df,2pd)(single-point), and G3B3 levels. Ten minimum isomers including the chainlike, three-member-ring, and four-member-ring structures are interconverted by means of 15 interconversion transition states. The potential energy surface was investigated. At the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(2df,2pd) and G3B3 levels, the global minimum isomer was found to be a linear HCCCCH. The structures of the stable isomer and its relevant transition state are further optimized at the QCISD/6-311G(d,p) level. The bonding nature and structure of isomer HCCCCH were analyzed.

Key words: C4H2+, Potential energy surface, HCCCCH isomer
