Quantum chemical studies in the design of organic metals. III. Odd-alternant hydrocarbons - The phenalenyl (ply) system
Keyword(s):
The MINDO/3 SCF MO method has been used to investigate the equilibrium geometries, electronic structure and ground state properties of ply and its univalent ions. The results indicate that ply has a low energy of disproportionation and that electron addition or removal leads to little structural change. From an analysis of the results it is concluded that odd-alternant hydrocarbons, and systems based on the ply nucleus in particular, have many of the characteristics which are considered to be important in the design of organic metals and superconductors.
