The interactions of dihydrogen with lithium containing organic complexes C4H4−mLimand C5H5−mLim(m= 1, 2) were studied by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculation. For all the complexes considered, each bonded lithium atom can adsorb up to five H2molecules with the mean binding energy of 0.59 eV/H2molecule. The interactions can be attributed to the charge transfer from the H2bonding orbitals to the Li 2s orbitals. The kinetic stability of these hydrogen-covered organolithium molecules is discussed in terms of the energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). The results indicate that these organiclithium structures can perhaps be used as building units for potential hydrogen storage materials.
