Abstract

The structure and stability of heteromolecular van der Waals clusters (N2) n CO m ( n = 1–7; m = 1–3) was studied using ab initio MP2(full)/6-311+G* and CCSD(full)/6-311+G* methods. For clusters with (n + m) > 3 the polyhedron structures are the most preferable, whose stability increases with the number of interacting molecules. Incorporation of CO molecules results in weakening of binding in the cluster and lowering the stereochemical rigidity relative to homomolecular systems. Increase of percentage of CO is followed by a decrease of stability of the clusters.
