3 Charged Fullerenes Outer space Storage rings Ion traps Collision exp. Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) Fullerenium salts Halogenated fullerenes Superacid solutions Fullerides Solutions Applications: Cations: donor acceptor dyads, molecular devices, superconductivity, Anions: photovoltaics, biomedicine, superconducting and ferromagnetic materials,

4 Outline Motivation Why charged fullerenes are special: structure stability problem Stability Models Previous models Our CSI model Applications Exp. & theo. Cations & anions Conclusions & Outlook

5 Complexity in Fullerene Science There are a huge number of isomers, but nature chooses only avery few ones. Fullerene C 2n All possible isomers Synthesizable isomers C 60 1, C 70 8, C 76 19, C 78 24, C 80 31, C 82 39, C 84 51, C 90 99, A needle in a haystack job!! J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 2, 18 (2001) C 60 has ~2,000 possible isomers, only one produced in experiments.

6 Known Rules for Neutral Fullerenes The 12 pentagons prefer to stay as far as possible from one another. Nature, 329, 529 (1987) 1. Isolated Pentagon Rule (IPR) Pentagons in stable isomers should be isolated by hexagons. 2. Pentagon Adjacency Penalty Rule (PAPR) Adjacent pentagon pairs (APPs) destabilize the system. Energy penalty: ~1 ev per APP Chem. Phys. Lett. 250, 544 (1996) 120 o Ideal sp 2 carbon (no strain) APP carbon (σ strain) C 60 I h (1812) C 60 C 2v (1809) 0 APP 2 APP IPR non IPR E rel = 0.0 ev E rel = 1.7 ev JACS 125, 5572 (2003)

7 Neutral Fullerenes Follow the Rules Fullerene C 2n All possible isomers IPR isomers Synthesized isomers C 60 1, (IPR) C 70 8, (IPR) C 76 19, (IPR) C 78 24, (IPR) C 80 31, (IPR) C 82 39, (IPR) C 84 51, (IPR) C 90 99, (IPR) An Atlas of Fullerenes. Clarendon Press: Oxford, U. K. (1995)

8 Three Neutral Isomers of C 70 Does the same situation hold for charged fullerenes? (4.3 ev) (2.5 ev) Nat. Chem. 7, 927 (2015)

9 Charged Fullerenes Break the Rules Nat. Chem. 7, 927 (2015) For charged fullerenes: (4.3 ev) (2.5 ev) IPR and PAPR fail. Relative stability order changes. (1.1 ev) (0.9 ev) Neutral Anionic (q = 4)

10 Plenty of Rulebreakers Found in Experiments Experimentally synthesized endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs): Nat. Chem. 1, 450 (2009) Chem. Rev. 113, 5989 (2013) C 28 C 50 : non IPR C 66 C 84 : non IPR or IPR C 86 C 104 : IPR

11 Plenty of Rulebreakers Found by DFT calculations Positively and negatively charged fullerenes: Isomer stability order differs, depending on charge state q and cage size 2n. E rel = E (non IPR) E(IPR) Nature, 355, 428 (1992) ChemPhysChem 9, 861 (2008)

12 Previous Theories & Models Previous models are only for negatively charged and are controversial: N Maximum aromaticity ring ALA A r (M. Solà 2013) r1 Minimum electrostatic repulsion (H. Zettergren 2008, J.M. Poblet 2010) Minimum strain (A. Popov 2008) They are not convenient for practical use: (A r is local aromaticity of ring r) IPSI 1/R ij Sophisticated quantum chemistry methods (at least semiempirical) Geometry optimization Iterative electronic structure calculation Failure and exceptions in some cases i1 ji Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52, 9275 (2013) Nat. Chem. 2, 955 (2010) JACS 129, (2007) (R ij are interpentagon distances)

13 Previous Theories & Models Electrostatic repulsion ( ) Aromaticity (2013) Gap between LUMOs (2005) Only for negatively charged fullerenes Sometimes Controversial against each other Many exceptions Require expensive QC computations

14 Our ideas dominant neutral fullerenes IPR & PAPR σ bonds localized strain effect Chem. Soc. Rev. 43, 5089 (2014) π bonds dominant delocalized charged fullerenes delocalization effect Any simple model?? Handbook of Nanophysics. CRC Press: London, Vol. 2, Chpt. 25 (2010)

15 Simple Models for π Systems 1. Particle on a sphere model π electron: a particle confined to the 2D surface of a fullerene cage Wave functions: Energy levels: POSTER: TH 59

16 2. Hückel Model (Tight Binding) A simple LCAO treatment with some simplifying approximations: Linear combination of atomic p orbitals: Minimum orthonormal basis: S AB p A p B AB N n p A A1 Simple Procedure Adjacency matrix (connectivity): Hamiltonian matrix depends on connectivity only: H AA p A ĥ i p A Secular equation (noniterative): N n H AB S AB i c ia 0 A1 χ 4 Hückel eigenvalues χ i : i i χ 2 χ 3 χ 1 Z. Phys. 70, 204 (1931); 72, 310 (1931); 76, 628 (1932)

17 Advantages of Hückel Model 1. Almost computationally costless Require only: Connectivity information (molecular graph theory) No need for: Iterative electronic structure calculation Geometry optimization 2. Describes exclusively the π effect π effect is clearly separated from other effects (e.g. strain, steric etc.) 3. Conceptual & Parameter free / Analytic No parameters (α or β) at all: wave function, atomic charges, bond orders, Or, in units of β: relative energies, band gaps,

19 Application to Charged Fullerenes Cage isomer i Phys. Rev. A 80, (2009) Nat. Chem. 7, 927 (2015) Parameters constant for all isomers of the same cage size: α: Coulomb integral (negative value) β: resonance integral (negative value) R π * : effective cage radius q: charge The only variables: eigenvalues

20 Combining σ and π effects σ bonds strain effect localized IPR & PAPR π bonds delocalized delocalization effect Hückel Model

21 Relative isomer energy (Hückel + PAPR) Total π energy of isomer i with charge q: Energy change due to charging (π stabilization energy): HOMOs Only over frontier orbitals involved in the charge transfer LUMOs Relative energy of neutral isomer i: Relative energy of ionic isomer i with charge q: Eq. of PAPR ( energy penalty: 0.2 ( 2β) ) We define Charge Stabilization Index (CSI): variables depending only on topology i constants

22 Charge Stabilization Index (CSI) (in units of 2β) π effect σ strain - More negative CSI more stability - A clear physical interpretation - Almost parameter-free: no α, β, R π * - Depends only on cage connectivity Nat. Chem. 7, 927 (2015)

23 4 A Test Case: C 42 All 45 isomers Correlation: CSI vs. Relative energy (AM1) Exp.: Ti@C 42 JACS 134, 9380 (2012) Lowest energy isomers by DFT (BP86/TZP)

24 Efficiency of CSI Time cost for calculating all 99,918 isomers of C6+ 90 on a single processor computer: Method CSI AM1 SCC-DFTB DFT (B3LYP/6-31G*) Time cost 15 min ~20 days ~80 days ~600 years

25 ΔCSI as a Prescreening Tool ΔCSI i = CSI i CSI i0 i: a given isomer i 0 : the lowest-energy isomer in neutral state ΔCSI i > 0: Unstable isomers of charged fullerenes ΔCSI i 0: Eligible candidate of stable charged isomers

26 q Applications: Anions C 80 Four different charge states: q = 2, 3, 4, 6 Each charge: 31,924 distinct isomers Experimental structures & DFT determination (B3LYP/6 31G*) Experiments: C 2v (3): Yb@C 80 C 2v (3): La@C 80 C 2v (5): Sc 2 C 80 Sm@C 80 I h (7): Sc 3 N@C 80 Sc 3 CN@C 80 Sc 3 C 80 Nat. Chem. 7, 927 (2015) D 5h (6): Ce 80 M 3 N@C 80

27 q+ Applications: Cations C 80 Three different charge states: q = +2, +4, +6 Each charge: 31,924 distinct isomers DFT determination (B3LYP/6 31G*) - Exp./theo. isomers have lowest CSI values Nat. Chem. 7, 927 (2015) - Impressive prediction power

28 Our model predicts ALL experimentally synthesized and computationally determined isomers!! The IPR & PAPR are stilled obeyed by fullerene cations, but frequently broken by fullerene anions, in which π effect plays over σ strain. Nat. Chem. 7, 927 (2015)

29 Also works for small cages: C 2n q (2n = 28 50; q = 2,4,6)

30 Conclusions 1. The stability of charged fullerenes is govened by the interplay between charge delocalization over frontier π orbitals and σ strain. The former can be quantified by simple HMO theory and the latter by counts of APPs, which gives rise to the CSI model. 2. The CSI model provides a unified view of both positively and negatively charged fullerenes, and offers a common theoretical frame for previous models (LUMO gaps, electronstatic repulsion, aromaticity, etc). 3. CSI can be easily calculated requiring only the connectivity between atoms, allowing a rapid prediction of the most stable isomers of charged fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes. The FULLFUN software package, avaible at:
