Abstract

The potential energy surfaces for the interior rotation of a series of pairs of noble gas atoms encapsulated in the C70 cavity have been explored. He2@C70, Ne2@C70, Ar2@C70, HeNe@C70, HeAr@C70 and NeAr@C70 were chosen as case studies. Our calculations suggest stable minima with the two noble gas atoms lying along the symmetry axis of the fullerene. Transition states for the rotations are expected to occur when the two atoms are located in the symmetry plane perpendicular to the C5 axis. The energy barriers for the rotations are predicted to be in the 5–64 kcal mol−1 range, significantly increasing with the size of the noble gas atoms inside C70. These energy barriers lead to a wide range of rate constants, including those characteristic of very fast internal rotations, of the order of k = 2.40 × 109 s−1 for He2@C70, and those describing very slow rotations, of the order of k = 1.80 × 10−33 s−1 for Ar2@C70. It is mandatory to correct for the basis set superposition error to calculate accurate binding energies.

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.
