Abstract

All-electron spin polarized DFT calculations have been performed to optimize the pentagonal bipyramidal (D_5h) geometry of the Cu₇ cluster by using the B3LYP and the B3PW1 functionals with different basis sets. Dirac scattered-wave and its non-relativistic limit calculations are used to calculate the ⁶³Cu hyperfine coupling constants using a first order perturbational procedure. Our calculations for the Cu₇ cluster predict the ² A₂″ as its ground state. The calculated hyperfine coupling constants are in reasonable agreement with those experimentally determined for Cu₇ in a matrix isolated ESR study by Van Zee and Weltner [J. Chem. Phys. 92 (1990) 6976].
