Abstract:

At the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ&CEP-121G//B3LYP/6-311+G(d)&LANL2DZ level, the structures and stabilities of XAl4(X=Sn, Pb) were investigated. The results show that different from XAl4(X=Si, Ge), the ground state structures of SnAl4 and PbAl4 are planar tetra-coordinate Al in stead of a planar tetra-coordinate Sn/Pb structure. In addition, the stabilities of non-planar three-coordinate structure of SnAl4/PbAl4 are also better than that of ptX(X=Sn,Pb)
