Abstract

The complex potential-energy surface of the still unknown interstellar molecule C4N is theoretically investigated at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level. Thirteen minimum isomers, cage-like structures and 23 intercon-version transition states are located. For the most relevant isomers and transition states, further geometrical optimization is performed at the QCISD/6-311G9d) level followed by single-point energetic calculations at the MP4SDTQ, QCISD(T), and CCSD(T) levels with the 6-311G(2df) basis set.
