Quantum-chemical study of atomic X 30 trefoil knots with X = {H, He, Li, Be, B, C}*

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Quantum-chemical computations were carried out for a series of circumferences (unknots), trefoil and toric trefoil knots of X30 systems, with X with atomic numbers Z = {1-6}. Relaxed structures lead to different configurations, with the striking cases of C30 and B30, with the former leading to a relaxed trefoil knot and the latter relaxing to a Möbius band, both corresponding to energy minima.
