[N3MN5](q): A Type of Low-Lying Sandwich-like Isomer on [N8M](q) Hypersurface with (M, q) = (Ni, 0), (Co,-1), and (Fe,-2)
Recently, design and assembly of small, high-energy-density, all-nitrogen Units into more complex sandwich-like forms have received growing attention. In this paper, we report a type of heterodecked sandwich-like structures [N3MN5](q) containing two odd-membered all-nitrogen rings (N-3 and N-5) on the hypersurface of [N8M](q) [(M, q) = (Ni, 0), (Co, -1), (Fe, -2)]. At the B3LYP/6-311+G(d) level, the new isomers are energetically more stable than the previously reported homodecked sandwich-like isomers [N4MN4](q) based oil the even-membered all-nitrogen ring N-4(2-). In particular, the eta(3)-eta(2) (eta(3)-eta(1)) isomers of [N3MN5](q) [(M, q) = (Ni, 0), (Co, -1), (Fe, -2)] possess considerable kinetic stability for laboratory characterization. The bond length and natural charge analysis of [N3MN5](q) [(M, q) = (Ni, 0), (Co, -1), (Fe, -2)] indicate that each complex possesses the smallest triplet all-nitrogen ring N-3(3)-. The unique stability of the presently designed heterodecked sandwich-like complexes await future laboratory investigations.
