Heteroatom Substitution

The heterofullerenes C59X (X = B, N, Al, Si, P, Ga, Ge, and As) were investigated by quantum chemistry calculations based on density functional theory. These hybrid cages can be seen as doping the buckminsterfullerene by heteroatom substitution. The geometrical structures, relative stabilities, electronic properties, vibrational frequencies, dielectric constants, and aromaticities of the doped cages were studied systemically and compared with those of the pristine C60cage. It is found that the doped cages with different heteroatoms exhibit various electronic, vibrational, and aromatic properties. These results imply the possibility to modulate the physical properties of these fullerene-based materials by tuning substitution elements.

Better Than

Contrary to common believe, for eight adsorption cases, neither D3 or TS are an improvement compared to D2 nor van der Waals functionals or dDsC. Only the many body approaches are slightly better than D2(Ne) which uses Ne parameters for Mg2+ ions.
