Abstract
Ab initio calculations for B2H5+ cation and neutral B2H5. radical have been performed at B3LYP/ 6-311G(d,p) and QCISD(T)/6-311 + +G(3df, 2p) (single-point) level to give nine isomers, i.e. for B2H5+, there are two singlets (D3h, C1) and three triplets (Cs, C1, C1); for B2H5. , there are four singlets (C2V, Cs, Cs, Cs). The calculated results also give five transition states associated with the isomers. The adiabatic ionization potentials of the two B2H5. radicals (singly bridged C2v) and (doubly bridged C,) are 6. 84 and 7. 65 eV, respectively. For the B2H5+, the energy difference between the most stable triplet state (singly bridged Cs) and the lowest singlet state (triply bridged D3h) is 4. 72 eV. For theB2H5. and B2H5f systems, the calculated results are in accordance with the experiments of Rǔsči(Combining vertical line above)č.
