MRCI investigation of Ni2O2 and Ni2O2+
Literature Information
Olaf Hübner, Hans-Jörg Himmel
The geometrical and electronic structures of rhombic Ni2O2 and Ni2O2+ are investigated by multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) calculations using natural atomic orbital basis sets. The ground term of Ni2O2 is a 1Ag term with a Ni–O distance of 178.9 pm and a Ni–O–Ni angle of 79.6°. At energies below 1 eV there are at least 21 further terms of singlet, triplet, and quintet multiplicity. The lowest-lying term of Ni2O2+ is a 2B1 term with a distorted C2v symmetric structure with two non-equivalent Ni centres and Ni–O distances of 170.6 and 182.6 pm. A 4B2 term is found at an energy higher by only 0.02 eV. At energies below 0.6 eV there are at least 6 further terms of doublet and quartet multiplicity. The lowest-lying sextet terms appear at about 0.6 eV. The calculated Ni–O–Ni angle of Ni2O2 is in very close agreement with the value derived from IR spectra. The fact of a doublet ground state of Ni2O2+ does not support the assumption that spin restrictions are the reason for the absence of any observable reaction of Ni2O2+ with H2 and CH4.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
