I. Dance, STRUCTURAL PRINCIPLES FOR COPPER CARBOHEDRENE CLUSTERS [CUXCY]+, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (16), 1993, pp. 1306-1308
Probable structure types and isomerism for the new clusters [Cu2n+1C2n
]+(g) are developed, with local density functional methods used to def
ine energy minima for [Cu13C12]+, for which a centro-Cu-cuboctahedro-C
u12 core capped with six C2 moieties is the copper analogue Of [Ti8C12
]+.
