高压使汞成为化学稳定固体中的过渡金属

High pressures make Hg a transition metal in a thermodynamically stable solid

摘要:

将汞列入过渡金属是否合适,已经争论了很长时间。虽然之前报道了在气相中合成HgF $_{4}$分子,但是该分子表现出很强的不稳定性和解离性。因此,汞的过渡金属倾向仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。在这里,我们提出,高压提供了一个可控的方法,制备不寻常的氧化态的物质。利用基于第一性原理电子结构计算的结构搜索方法,我们预测在高压下,Hg可以将其最外层$d$壳层的电子转移到F原子上,从而起到过渡金属的作用. Hg氧化到+4态产生了化学稳定的分子晶体,由HgF $_{4}$平面分子组成,这是$d^{8}$金属中心的典型几何形状。

英文摘要:

The appropriateness of including Hg among the transition metals has been debated for a long time. Although the synthesis of HgF$_{4}$ molecules in gas phase was reported before, the molecules show strong instabilities and dissociate. Therefore, the transition metal propensity of Hg remains an open question. Here, we propose that high pressure provides a controllable method for preparing unusual oxidation states of matter. Using an advanced structure search method based on first-principles electronic structure calculations, we predict that under high pressures, Hg can transfer the electrons in its outmost $d$ shell to F atoms, thereby acting as a transition metal. Oxidation of Hg to the +4 state yielded thermodynamically stable molecular crystals consisting of HgF$_{4}$ planar molecules, a typical geometry for $d^{8}$ metal centers.
