- Аннотация: Polarizability exaltation is typical for (C60)n nanostructures. It relates to the ratio between the mean polarizabilities of (C60)n and C60: the first one is higher than the n-fold mean polarizability of the original fullerene. This phenomenon is used in the design of novel fullerene compounds and the understanding of its properties but still has no chemical rationalization. In the present work, we studied the distributed polarizability of (C60)2 and isomeric (C60)3 nanoaggregates with the density functional theory method. We found that polarizability exaltation increases with the size of the nanostructure and originates from the response of the sp2-hybridized carbon atoms to the external electric field. The highest contributions to the dipole polarizability of (C60)2 and (C60)3 come from the most remote atoms of the marginal fullerene cores. The sp3-hybridized carbon atoms of cyclobutane bridges negligibly contribute to the molecular property. A similar major contribution to the molecular polarizability from the marginal atoms is observed for related carbon nanostructures isomeric to (C60)2 (tubular fullerene and nanopeanut). Additionally, we discuss the analogy between the polarizability exaltation of covalently bonded (C60)n and the increase in the polarizability found in experiments on fullerene nanoclusters/films as compared with the isolated molecules.
