Geometric structure of WmBn(m+n≤7) clusters are optimized by using density functional theory at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level. For ground state configurations, average binding energies, second order differential energies, energy gaps and WIB bond orders are analyzed. It shows that ground state structures of WBn clusters are flat structures; as m≥2 and m+n≥4, all clusters are cube structure except W3B cluster. Stability of clusters is getting better and better as W atoms increase. The bonding strength of W-W is significantly higher than those of W-B and B-B key. W atom plays a leading role in stability of clusters. Stability of W2B2 and W3B cluster is the best.

Theoretical Study of Molecular Orbital Energy Levels and Aromaticity ofWnNim(n+m=8)clusters
ZHANG Xiurong, LI Yang, YIN Lin
CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2012, 29 (6): 913-920.  
Abstract296)      PDF (828KB)(1172)      
Possible equilibrium geometries of WnNim(n+m=8) clusters are optimized with density functional theory at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level.For ground state structures,molecular orbital energy level,HOMO level,LUMO level,aromaticity and thermodynamics are analyzed.It shows that molecular orbits between Alpha and Beta in clusters W5Ni3 and W6Ni2 are completely degenerate,and all electrons are strictly paired.W2Ni6 cluster,with low energy gap,has strong chemical activity.Its component for frontier orbital are basically the same.W6Ni2cluster,with high energy gap,has weak chemical activity;Clusters W1Ni7,W5Ni3,W6Ni2,W7Ni1 have aromaticity,while W2Ni6 cluster has antiaromaticity.Formation enthalpy of all clusters WnNim(n+m=8) are negative.They are stable Oil thermodynamics.
