Anions Formed by Perchlorofluorobenzenes C6ClnF6–n (n = 0–6)
Thomas Sommerfeld
Abstract:Anions formed by the perhalobenzene series C6Cl
n
F6–n
(n = 0–6) are studied computationally. All
members
of the series form both stable valence and stable nonvalence anions.
At the geometry of the neutral parents, only nonvalence anions are
bound, and the respective vertical electron affinities show values
in the 20 to 60 meV range. Valence anions show distorted nonplanar
structures, and one can distinguish two types of conformers. A-type
conformers show puckered-ring structures and excess electrons delocali… Show more
