E6C15 (E = Si–Pb): polycyclic aromatic compounds with three planar tetracoordinate carbons†
Abstract
A systematic exploration of the potential energy surface reveals two global minima with three planar tetra coordinate carbons (ptCs) and two global minima with three quasi-ptCs for E6C15 (E = Si–Pb) combinations. These consist of aromatic polycyclic templates suitable for further design of different materials without hindering the ptC texture.
