Li$_5$ as a pseudorotating planar cluster

chem-ph 2009-10-22 v1 Chemical Physics

Abstract

A pseudorotating state of Li5_5 observed in a recent EPR experiment is investigated using the local density functional method. The calculated isotropic spin population indicates that a planar C2vC_{2v} structure is more consistent with the experimental result than a suggested trigonal bipyramid. A new pseudorotating state based on the planar structure is proposed.
