Literature Information
Xi-Ling Xu, Bin Yang, Zhi-You Wei, Guo-Jin Cao, Hong-Guang Xu
The structural and electronic properties of Cu3O3− and Cu3O4− were investigated using mass-selected anion photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with density functional theoretical calculations. The vertical detachment energies of Cu3O3− and Cu3O4− were measured to be 3.48 ± 0.08 and 3.54 ± 0.08 eV, respectively. Their geometrical structures were determined by comparison of the theoretical calculations with the experimental results. The most stable structure of Cu3O3− can be characterized as a C3v symmetric six-membered ring structure with alternating Cu–O bonds, in which the plane of the three O atoms is slightly above that of the three Cu atoms. The most stable structure of Cu3O4− can be viewed as a Cs symmetric seven-membered ring with a peroxo unit. The bond order and molecular orbital analyses indicate that the Cu–Cu interactions in Cu3O3− and Cu3O4− are weak. The calculated NICS(0) and NICS(1) values of Cu3O3− are −25.0 ppm and −19.2 ppm, respectively, and those of Cu3O4− are −18.6 ppm and −10.5 ppm, respectively, indicating that they both are significantly aromatic.

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.
