Abstract
The title series of simple model aurocarbons, CAu4, C2Au2, C2Au4, C2Au6, and C6Au6, is investigated using density functional theory with TPSS and B3LYP functionals and the second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory, with the latest Karlsruhe basis sets. The vibrational frequencies and the 0 K thermodynamical properties are calculated. The bonding mechanism is also investigated. For C2Aun the calculated MP2 formation energy suggests increased stabilization with increasing n, due to the Au–Au aurophilic pair interactions.
