Abstract:
This study reports the spin-orbit effects on the aromaticity of the N5-, P5-, As5-, Sb5-, Bi5-, and Mc5- anionic clusters via the magnetically induced current-density method. All-electron density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out using the four-component Dirac-Coulomb (DC) hamiltonian, including scalar and spin-orbit relativistic effects. The magnetic index of aromaticity was calculated by numerical integration over the current flow between two atoms in the pentagonal ring. These values were compared to the spin-free values (spin-orbit coupling switched off), in order to assess the spin-orbit effect on aromaticity. It was found that in the heavy anions, Bi5- and Mc5-, there is a significant influence of the spin-orbit coupling. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
