The Structure of Adamantane Clusters: Atomistic vs. Coarse-Grained Predictions From Global Optimization

Candidate structures for the global minima of adamantane clusters, (C10H16)N, are presented. Based on a rigid model for individual molecules with atom-atom pairwise interactions that include Lennard-Jones and Coulomb contributions, low-energy structures were obtained up to N = 42 using the basin-hop...
