摘要
We investigate the stability, bonding, and geometric structure of recently discovered metallocarbohedrenes by the use of density-functional calculations. It is found that the previously proposed T(h) dodecahedron structure is dynamically unstable. Instead, a new, stable, and more strongly bound structure with D2d symmetry is found. We find strong interactions between C-C and strong Ti-C covalent bonding. The stability of the D2d structure has been verified by calculating vibrational frequencies. The infrared spectrum of the Zr8C12 cluster is predicted.
