Comparison Between Electride Characteristics of Li3@B40 and Li3@C60
Density functional theory (DFT) based computation is performed on the endohedrally encapsulated Li3 cluster inside the B40 and C60 cages namely, Li3@B40 and Li3@C60. For both these systems, the Li-Li bond lengths are shorter than that in the free Li3 cluster. Due to confinement, the Li-Li vibrationa...
