Abstract

En 中文
Computational modeling of heterodimers of mono- and diradical molecules with C60 - indicates that scanning probe microscopy could characterize multicenter covalent-like interactions, also known as pancake bonds, on surfaces. By functionalizing the SPM tip with C60 and creating its monoanionic state by applying the corresponding voltage, individual pancake-bonded heterodimers with various radical molecules can be formed and characterized. All three proposed radical/diradical molecules readily form pancake-bonded dimers with C60 -, and their structural and energetic minima are easily discernible from the dispersion-bonded van der Waals heterodimers with C60. Two of the three newly designed heterodimers show intermolecular C & centerdot;& centerdot;& centerdot;C distances that are shorter than the current shortest pancake bond. This exploratory work aims to stimulate new studies on the interactions of radical molecules by the use of SPM techniques.
