Abstract The electronic structure of endohedral Sc@C82 with a C82 cage of C2v symmetry has been studied by ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations. The optimized position of Sc in the configuration of minimum energy is predicted to be on the two-fold axis of the fullerene cage. In the corresponding configuration Sc is above the center of a hexagon of site symmetry C2 . This structure of C2v symmetry is nearly degenerate with Cs and Ct structures with Sc slightly displaced from the center of the coordinated hexagon. The binding energy of the endohedral complex is larger than 3.55 eV. The ab initio HF data of the C2v topoisomer of the fullerene unit are compared with new experimental findings and HF results derived for the 3(C2) topoisomer of the C82 cage.

ABSTRACTRecent advancements in ab initio time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory have made it a technique of choice for modeling nanoscale nonlinear optical (NLO) materials from first-principles. We have used this method to study structure-NLO property relationships of GaN, GaP and GaAs clusters. The geometry of the clusters used in the study was optimized by ab initio Hartree Fock (HF) calculations with the use of even tempered Gaussian (ETG) basis set. The clusters used in this study are of the type Gam Xn (M = 1,3,4,7 and n = 1,3,4,7) where X=N, P, and As. The GamXn clusters are in a charge neutral (q = 0) state for m = n and in appropriately charged state for m ∦ n. The magnitude of the calculated (hyper)polarizabilities appears to strongly depend on the composition of the cluster. For the same composition of heteroatoms, the hyperpolarizability depends on the size as well as the geometry of the cluster. The cluster size-dependence of calculated (hyper)polarizabilities is more pronounced for the first-hyperpolarizability. β than for the polarizability, α The calculated β(–ωμ,ωl,ω2) corresponding to various second order effects shows the following trend β(–2ω; ω,ω) > β(–ω; 0, ω) >β(0;0,0).

It is pointed out that at the level of a minimum basis set ab initio HF-SCF-MO results and those from the maximum overlap method coincide. Calculated dipole moments for a variety of large molecules of the steroid type are presented
