Lithiation and Li-Doped Effects of [5]Cyclacene on the Static First Hyperpolarizability

Abstract

On the basis of tubiform [5]cyclacene, a new multilithium salt Li 5 -[5]cyclacene and a new electride Li−Li 5 -[5]cyclacene are designed in theory. As five Li atoms substituting the five edge H atoms of the [5]cyclacene form the noncentrosymmetric Li 5 -[5]cyclacene, the natural bond orbital (NBO) charges of these five Li atoms (Li + = 0.840) show that Li 5 -[5]cyclacene is a new multilithium salt. The β 0 value is greatly increased about 1200 times from 7 ([5]cyclacene) to 7938 au (Li 5 -[5]cyclacene) by the lithiation effect. Specially, the Li-doped effect on the static first hyperpolarizability in the new electride Li−Li 5 -[5]cyclacene has been explored for the first time. An additional Li atom doping into this new tubiform multilithium salt Li 5 -[5]cyclacene leads to a new tubiform electride Li−Li 5 -[5]cyclacene, and the β 0 value increases about 5 times from 7938 (Li 5 -[5]cyclacene) to 35 384 au (Li−Li 5 -[5]cyclacene). This shows that the Li-doped effect greatly increases the first hyperpolarizability.
