摘要: The structure and energetics of the ring isomers C(4n+2) (n=3-5) carbon clusters were studied by using coupled-cluster singles doubles excitation theory to overcome vast differences existing in literature. results obtained present study clearly indicate that C(14), C(18), C(22) rings have bond-length bond-angle alternated acetylenic minimum energy structures. Contrarily, density functional calculations unable predict these acetylenic-type structures they ended up with cumulenic It is found from studies lowest-energy isomer for first two members series a D((2n+1)h) symmetry while same remaining C((2n+1)h) structure. In rings, Peierls-type distortion, transformation structures, occurs at C(14) ring.
