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.

Structures and Stability of WmCn Clusters
Zhang Xiurong, Li Weijun, Zhang Fuxing, Yuan Aihua
CHINESE JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS    2013, 30 (4): 587-595.  
Abstract349)      PDF (1005KB)(1147)      
Possible equilibrium geometries of WmCn clusters are optimized by using density functional theory at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level.For ground-state structures,average binding energy,second difference in energy,HOMO-LOMO gaps and the Wiberg bond index are analyzed.With increasing tungsten atoms,structures of clusters transform from linear into planar,and then become three-dimensional structures.All spin multiplicity is not more than 5.Hybridization of carbon atoms enhanced stability of the clusters,but reduced chemical activity.And Wiberg of W-C is much stronger than that of W-W and C-C,so it is easier to form W-C bond in WmCn clusters.
