摘要
Clusters Al2P2 (n-) (n = 1-4) were theoretically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) methods at the B3LYP/6-311+G* and B3PW91/6-311+G* levels of theory. The calculated results showed that the planar structure (D (2h) symmetry) of Al2P2 (n-) (n = 1-4) species was the global minimum. And the negative nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) value of Al2P2 (n-) (n = 1-4) species indicated the existence of a ring current in the planar structure (D (2h) symmetry). A detailed molecular orbital (MO) analysis revealed that the planar structures (D (2h) symmetry) had pi aromaticity, which further exhibited the strongly aromatic character for Al2P2 (n-) (n = 1-4) species.
