Abstract

A systematic DFT investigation has been conducted to explore the structures and electronic properties of the metal-carbide endofullerenes M2C2 @ C78 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) at the PBE/DNP level of theory. The theoretical calculations predicted the following: (i) this series of endofullerenes have the valence states [M4+]2C2(2-) @ C78(6-) (ii) the structure of the [M2C2](6+) cluster encapsulated in the C78(6-) (D3h) cage varies with the increasing of the ionic radius of M4+, i.e., from a linear M-C [triple bond] C-M geometry for M = Ti, through a zigzag geometry for M = Hf to a side-on binding mode for M = Zr; (iii) M2C2 @ C78 (M = Zr, Hf) should display interesting intramolecular dynamic behavior at room temperature, i.e., the encapsulated C2(2-) moiety can rotate freely around the C3-axis of the C78(6-) (D3h) cage; (iv) the [Ti2C2]6+ in the lightest Ti2C2 @ C78 is far more fixed by adopting the linear Ti-C - C-Ti geometry; (v) the order for their ionization potentials is Ti2C2 @ C78 < Hf2C2 @ C78 << Zr2C2 @ C78, whereas their EAs follow the order: Ti2C2 @ C78 < Hf2C2 @ C78 approximately Zr2C2 @ C78. The predicted redox properties of these endofullerenes suggest that Zr2C2 @ C78 is synthetically as approachable as Hf2C2 @ C78.
