The electronic structure, energy barrier and charge redistribution of cyclo[18]carbon and cyclocarbon oxides [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] on NaCl(001) surface were computationally studied by using MOPAC. The HOMO electronics are mainly distributed at the inner and outer circumferential half circle of the cyclo[18]carbon along triple C–C bonds. However, the LUMO electronics are distributed at above and below surfaces of the cyclo[18]carbon circle along single C–C bonds. The energy barrier is different along different direction. The energy barrier of cyclo[18]carbon on the NaCl surface is the smallest (0.23 eV/per atom). When the cyclo[18]carbon and cyclo[18]carbon oxides molecular are put on the NaCl surface, they show different amounts of positive charge, no longer neutral.
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.
