Several isomers of C
were studied with electron correlation methods and augmented, correlation-consistent basis sets. All are thermodynamically stable with respect to dissociation into C
and C
anions. Isomerization energies are less than 5 kcal/mol at the highest level of theory. Vertical and adiabatic electron detachment energies are positive for the D3h form of C
. Linear, carbene, bridged-chain, and chain-ring isomers are considered as well. FeynmanDyson amplitudes connecting dianionic and anionic states reveal extensive delocalization of the least bound electrons. ©1998 American Institute of Physics.
