Improved Estimates of Host‐Guest Interaction Energies for Endohedral Fullerenes Containing Rare Gas Atoms, Small Molecules, and Cations

Abstract: Endohedral fullerenes have evinced much interest from the fundamental and applications points of view. However, given the nature of the weak interaction between the guest species and the host cage in these confined systems, the interaction energy values obtained using various theoretical methods, and different basis sets vary over a wide range. For example, the reported interaction energy for the HF@C 60 system ranges from À 2.5 kcal/mol to À 14.9 kcal/mol. In the present manuscript, we report reliable interac… Show more

“…In the case of [Li @C ][PF ], the measured diffraction patterns were consistent with a positional disordering of the cation within a shell with a radius of about 1.5 [Å] at 155 [K] and the presence of two crystallographically equivalent positions of Li located 1.40 ± 0.01 [Å] from the cage center at 22 [K] [ 91 ]. These experimental findings are in agreement with the original HF/DZP prediction of the radial displacement amounting to 1.30 [Å] [ 45 ] and the displacements of 1.40, 1.43, and 1.50 [Å] subsequently computed at, respectively, the M06-2X/6-31G** [ 93 ], MN15/cc-pVTZ [ 86 ], and B3LYP/cc-pVTZ [ 94 ] levels of theory.…”

“…Requiring high levels of theory for accurate reproduction, these effects are not reliably accounted for by the presently available approximate functionals of the KS-DFT formalism. For example, although a surprisingly accurate estimate of 172.3 [cm ] was obtained at the MN15/cc-pVTZ level of theory for the red shift of HF, its H counterpart of 142.3 [cm ] turned out to be far less satisfactory [ 86 ]. Ever worse, the same type of calculation predicted a significant (0.189 [Å]) displacement of the He guest from the center of the C cage that is ruled out by direct experimental evidence [ 87 ].…”
