Abstract
Our all-electron fully relativistic Dirac–Fock (DF) and nonrelativistic (NR) Hartree–Fock SCF molecular calculations for the superheavy tetrahedral (Td) oganesson tetratennesside OgTs4 predict atomization energies (Ae) of 7.45 and −11.21 eV, respectively. Our DF and NR calculations, however for the square planar (D4h) OgTs4 predict atomization energies (Ae) of 6.34 and −8.56 eV, respectively. There are dramatic relativistic effects for the atomization energies of Td and D4h OgTs4 of ~ 18.65 eV and ~ 14.90 eV, respectively. Whereas our DF calculations predict the Td OgTs4 to be more stable than the D4h OgTs4 by ~ 1.10 eV, our NR calculations predict the D4h OgTs4 to be more stable than the Td OgTs4 by ~ 2.65 eV. Our NR calculations predict both the Td and D4h OgTs4 to be unbound by 11.21 and 8.56 eV, respectively. However, our relativistic DF calculations predict both the Td and D4h OgTs4 to be bound by 7.45 and 6.34 eV, respectively, and so the relativistic treatment is mandatory for bonding and binding in the pentatomic superheavy system with 586 electrons involving the two heaviest SHE Ts and Og.
