Cubic Octa-Carbon: Quantum-Chemical Design of Molecular Structure and Potential Way of Its Synthesis from Cubane

Quantum-chemical calculation of most important parameters of molecular and electronic structures of octa-carbon C<sub>8</sub> having cubic form (bond lengths, bond and torsion angles) using CCSD(T)/QZVP and DFT B3PW91/QZVP methods, has been carried out. NBO analysis data and HOMO/LUMO im...
