Two adducts SF 4 ·AsF 5 and SF 4 ·SbF 5 have been studied in this work. Their structures, thermodynamic functions, and heats of formation were studied using density functional theory (DFT) method in gas phase and using the force field method and the DFT GGA-RPBE method in crystal state. The obtained crystal structures have the P2 1 /c space group. The lattice energies, sublimation enthalpies and heats of formation in crystal state were estimated. Based on the optimized crystal structures, the electronic energy band and density of state were predicted and the results indicate that they are semiconductors with the band gap between 2.3 ~ 2.5 eV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
