Popis: Geometry optimizations and followed frequency calculations were performed for PbI (PbI+, PbI, and PbI−), PbI2 (PbI2+, PbI2, and PbI2−), PbI3 (PbI3+, PbI3, and PbI3−), PbI4 (PbI4, PbI4−, and PbI42−), PbI5 (PbI5, PbI5−, PbI52−, and PbI53−), and PbI6 (PbI6−, PbI62−, PbI63−, and PbI64−) at the CCSD(T) level with aug-cc-pVDZ pseudopotentials and valence basis sets. Both PbI6− and PbI64− are unstable while both PbI62− and PbI63− are stable. All the optimized equilibrium structures can be described well with the single reference method such as DFT. The Pb I bond length becomes larger while the Pb I stretching frequencies become smaller as the structural unit has more electrons (such as from PbI4, PbI4−, to PbI42−). The unpaired electron is located on the Pb atom for PbI and PbI2− but is located on the I atoms for PbI2+, PbI3, PbI4−, PbI52−, and PbI63−. Harmonic vibrational frequencies plus adiabatic ionization potentials and electron affinities are reported.
