摘要
The Jahn-Teller effect on the geometry of Ni6 has been studied using ab initio CASSCF calculations. Jahn-Teller stabilization energies (E(JT)) are in the range 0.6-4.8 kcal/mol for the two electronic states that have been studied (9T2u and 3T1g). Wave functions where the degeneracy is only due to the 3d part are not inert to Jahn-Teller effects, even though the d orbitals do not contribute to the metal-metal bonding. The ionization potential (IP) of Ni6 has been evaluated and compares favorably with recent experimental measurement.
