[Display omitted]
•Four-component relativistic calculations on the isomerization energy of small gold clusters.•Spin-Orbit coupling split the superatomic 1P shell.•Spin-Orbit coupling influence a closed-shell electronic configuration for the open-shell [Au6]2+ cluster.•Further stabilization of the isomerization barrier is obtained by including a fully relativistic treatment.•Lighter counterparts exhibits strong differences in relation to [Au6]2+, owing to the role of relativistic effects.
The Oh-[Au6]2+ cluster exhibits an open-shell 1s21p2 which trend to a more stable D2h isomer in 31.5kcal/mol, as observed in the experimental [Au6{P(C6H4Me-o)pH2}6] cluster. By taking into account the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in Oh-[Au6]2+, a resulting 1s1/221p1/22 closed-shell superatomic configuration is obtained stabilizing such structure by about 14.7kcal/mol, decreasing the isomerization barrier. Thus, the spin-orbit term favors the Oh↔D2h conformation rearrangement depicting a decrease in the calculated energy difference between both conformations, an interesting consequence which is not obtained in the hypothetical lighter counterparts. |
