Abstract

The IR spectra of neutral Ti₈C₁₂ metallocarbohedryne (Met-Car) and its cation are predicted based on the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method. The blue shift predicted for the C-C stretching frequency in Ti₈ C₁₂⁺ with respect to neutral Ti₈C₁₂ is in agreement with experimental results. The triply degenerate C-C stretching mode splits into doubly and singly degenerate modes as a result of the Ti₈C₁₂ Jahn-Teller distortion from T_d to D_2d symmetry. The splitting is small for the neutral cluster, but it is significant for the cation.
