Abstract

The first theoretical investigation of a series of surface-decorated corannulene cations, {R-C 20H 10} +, where R = H, CH 3, CH 2Cl, CHCl 2, and CCl 3, is accomplished. Three possible isomers of {R-C 20H 10} + such as hub-, rim-, and spoke-functionalized corannulene derivatives are considered and compared. The trends in their stability and transition barriers are provided. A detailed study of energetics of {R-C 20H 10} + is complemented by in-depth investigation of their electronic structures and aromaticity.
