Metallo-carbohedrenes M8C12+: a class of stable molecular cluster ions

Findings of magic peaks corresponding to M8C12(+) (M = V, Zr, and Hf) formed from reactions of the respective metals with various small hydrocarbons, in conjuction with recent findings for the titanium system, establish metallocarbohedrenes as a stable general class of molecular cluster ions. A dode...

Zusammenfassung:Findings of magic peaks corresponding to M8C12(+) (M = V, Zr, and Hf) formed from reactions of the respective metals with various small hydrocarbons, in conjuction with recent findings for the titanium system, establish metallocarbohedrenes as a stable general class of molecular cluster ions. A dodecahedral structure of T sub h point symmetry accounts for the stability of these ionic clusters. (Author)
