The geometry of the bis(η6-benzene)chromium neutral mol. (1) and its cation (1+) were optimized at various DFT levels using LSDA, GGA and hybrid functionals. An increase in the Cr-C distances and a decrease in the C-H distances on ionization is obsd. The vibrational frequencies of 1, 1+ and their deuterated derivs. as well as the ionization potentials of the neutral mols. were calcd. and compared with the exptl. data obtained for the gas-phase species. An excellent agreement with the expt. was achieved at the BPW91/TZVP level of theory for all the mol. parameters studied including a neg. shift of the ionization energy on deuteration.
