Abstract
From density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we predicted that the sandwich-type dinuclear organometallic compounds Cp 2Ti 2 and Cp 2Sc 2 can adsorb up to eight hydrogen molecules respectively, corresponding to a high gravimetric storage capacity of 6.7% and 6.8% (w), respectively. These sandwich-type organometallocenes proposed in this work are favorable for reversible adsorption and desorption of hydrogen at ambient conditions.
