Electronic structure and interaction in CH4@C60 : A first-principle investigation
View through CrossRef
Abstract
CH4@C60 was the first example an organic molecule has been embedded in C60, and by far the largest molecule. CH4 can rotate freely in the molecular cage, and the carbon skeleton structure of the C60 has no obvious deformation. The electronic structure of CH4@C60 and interaction between C60 and CH4 were studied under quantum mechanical calculation method. The different reaction sites on C-C bonds in C60 and the weak Van der Waals interaction between CH4 and C60 were shown clearly. These results and the orbital interaction between CH4 and C60 were helpful for understanding and further application of this unique biggest organic molecule CH4 contained in C60 structure so far.
