Bimetallic and Cluster Complexes Metal-Metal Bonding Is 5.03, Inorganic Chemistry Prof. Daniel G. Nocera Lecture 9 May 11: Bimetallic and Cluster Complexes Metal-metal bonding is common for metals in low oxidation states, and generally increases in strength along the series 3d << 4d < 5d. There are limiting forms of metal-metal bonding depending on d-orbital occupation. Usually d1 and d2 metals do not form complexes with unsupported (i.e. no bridging ligands) metal-metal bonds. 3 4 Triple and quadruple metal-metal bonds are formed between d and d metals, respectively. Single metal-metal bonds are formed between d7 and d9 metals. Polynuclear clusters can support a wide variety of metal d-electron counts. Single Metal-Metal Bonded Complexes The paradigmatic single single metal-metal bonded complex is M2(CO)10 (M = Mn(0), Re(0)). The general features of this compound are: The dimers are formed from d7 metals. The d electron count is better described as (d6)d1–d1(d6). From this formalism, we see that the metal-metal bond is formed from one electron that is donated from each metal and that the coordination geometry about the metal should be octahedral, as is typically the case for d6 metals. Here, one of the octahedral coordination sites is occupied by a metal-metal bond. The (d6)d1–d1(d6) formalism also suggests that the compound is diamagnetic, which is also the case. A more quantitative description is given by the molecular orbital diagram, which is formed from the dimerization of two M(CO)5fragments. We can determine the electronic structure of the M(CO)5 fragment by beginning with an octahedral M(CO)6 complex and removing a CO ligand. We know that the Oh complex has a t2g-eg electronic structure format. What happens to the d orbitals when one CO ligand is removed from the z axis? 1 Note that the dz2 orbital is singly occupied and coordinatively unsaturated. Thus the Mn(CO)5 fragmant is the “methyl” radical of inorganic chemistry. With regard to the isolobal analogy: Mn(CO) CH 5 3 Dimerizing •Mn(CO)5 fragments, A diamagnetic complex formed from the dimerization of two metallic radicals This orbital is cylindrically symmetric, thus no electronic preference for staggered vs eclipsed—so steric factors dominate and system is staggered 2 – The energetic stabilization of the e in dz2 by dimerization is the driving force for metal-metal bond formation. As shown in the table below, the MM σ-σ* splitting increases along the series Mn < Tc < Re owing to the increase in SML as a result of the increased radial extension of the dz2 orbitals. This increase in the SMM of the dz2 orbitals is reflected in an increased metal-metal bond strength. Complex E(σ-σ*) / cm–1 BDE / kcal mol–1 Mn2(CO)10 29740 37 Tc2(CO)10 32400 45 Re2(CO)10 32800 53 MnRe(CO)10 31950 – This MO diagram rationalizes the photochemistry of M2(CO)10 complexes. Excitation of the σ-σ* transition will result in the cleavage of the metal-metal bond (since the excited state born order is 0). Thus, the photochemistry is a radical based one: h •Mn(CO)5 2 •Mn(CO)5 therefore Mn2(CO)10 2 Mn(CO)5Cl CCl4 Mn2(CO)10 + Re2(CO)10 2 MnRe(CO)10 Fe(CO)5 + Re2(CO)10 (CO)5ReFe(CO)4Re(CO)5 Cluster Formation As mentioned above, odd electron occupancy of the eg orbital (Oh) of a M(CO)6 complex prompts ligand loss in order to stabilize the dz2 orbital. Further stabilization occurs by metal-metal single bond formation. We can take this argument to a limit to explain cluster formation from metals across the periodic table. The carbonyl clusters of the first row transition metals have the following compositions and structures: Group 6: Group 7: Group 8: M(CO)6 M2(CO)10 M3(CO)12 Group 9: Group 10: M4(CO)12 M(CO)4 3 Group 6 7 8 9 10 Cr(CO)6 Mn2(CO)10 Fe3(CO)12 – Ni(CO)4 Mo(CO)6 Tc2(CO)10 Ru3(CO)12 Rh4(CO)12 – W(CO)6 Re2(CO)10 Os3(CO)12 Ir4(CO)12 – eg t2g bury d6 bury d6 bury d6 bury d6 filled d-orbitals no e– in σ* 1e– in σ* 2e– in σ* 3e– in σ* stable lose 1 CO lose 2 CO lose 3 CO no electronic 1 M–M 2 M–M 3 M–M stabilization maximum stabilization afforded by metal-metal σ bond formation In each case, the clusters assume an octahedral coordination as a result of burying 6 d electrons in what is formally t2g orbitals. The system loses the number of CO’s that is equivalent to the number of e–s in M-Lσ*. This permits maximum M-M bond formation and thus maximum stabilization. Metal-Metal Bonding: Quadruple Bonds This class of compounds was discovered on the 4th floor of Building 6 with the 2– determination of the X-ray crystal structure of Re2Cl8 in 1963. 4 The dimers are formed from d4 metals (usually Cr(II), Mo(II), W(II), Re(III)). The compounds have the shortest metal-metal bonds in inorganic chemistry; this is not surprising as there is a formal quadruple bond. The complexes are diamagnetic and they are always eclipsed. As depicted above, the MO strategy is to be to correlate 3– – – to ReCl6 (Oh), remove two axial Cl ligands to give square planar ReCl4 (D4h) fragment and then dimerize. – 3– Accounting for the π-donating properties of Cl , the correlation diagram for ReCl6 (Oh) – and ReCl4 (D4h) is – 2– The ReCl4 fragments can now be dimerized to furnish the Re2Cl8 quadruple bond. 5 The MO diagram is essentially that of M2L10 in form. The differences between M2L10 and M2L8 MO diagrams are due to M–M separation—the larger splittings of σ,π and δ bonds arises from the shorter M–M distance. This electronic structure accounts for: 2 4 2 • the quadruple bond results from σ π δ configuration • the eclipsed structure a result of the alignment of the dxy orbitals to form the quadruple bond • the ground state is diamagnetic • lowest energy transition is δ → δ* The δ → δ* transition is spectroscopically anomalous. Though a fully allowed transition, its intensity is weak (ε ~ 103 M–1 cm–1 when it is expected to be 104 – 105 M–1 cm–1). Also there is a large shift in the transition energy upon oxidation: –1 λmax (δ→δ*) for Mo2Cl4 (PMe3)4 = 17094 cm [d(M-M) = 2.13 Å] + –1 λmax (δ→δ*) for Mo2Cl4 (PMe3)4 = 6350 cm [d(M-M) = 2.17 Å] How do we account for these observations ? small 1e– (MO splitting) energy large 2e- (e–-e– repulsion) energy This problem is treated in a 5.37 lab module. 6 .

  • Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc
    Metal-Metal (MM) Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc Richard H. Duncan Lyngdoh*,a, Henry F. Schaefer III*,b and R. Bruce King*,b a Department of Chemistry, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong 793022, India B Centre for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens GA 30602 ABSTRACT: This survey of metal-metal (MM) bond distances in binuclear complexes of the first row 3d-block elements reviews experimental and computational research on a wide range of such systems. The metals surveyed are titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc, representing the only comprehensive presentation of such results to date. Factors impacting MM bond lengths that are discussed here include (a) n+ the formal MM bond order, (b) size of the metal ion present in the bimetallic core (M2) , (c) the metal oxidation state, (d) effects of ligand basicity, coordination mode and number, and (e) steric effects of bulky ligands. Correlations between experimental and computational findings are examined wherever possible, often yielding good agreement for MM bond lengths. The formal bond order provides a key basis for assessing experimental and computationally derived MM bond lengths. The effects of change in the metal upon MM bond length ranges in binuclear complexes suggest trends for single, double, triple, and quadruple MM bonds which are related to the available information on metal atomic radii. It emerges that while specific factors for a limited range of complexes are found to have their expected impact in many cases, the assessment of the net effect of these factors is challenging.

Accascina, Viale delle ScienzesParco d’Orleans II, I-90128 Palermo, Italy, and Department of Theoretical Chemistry, Chemical Center, P.O. Box 124, S-221 00 Lund, Sweden Received October 14, 2002 2- One of the prototype compounds for metal−metal multiple bonding, the Re2Cl8 ion, has been studied theoretically using multiconfigurational quantum chemical methods. The molecular structure of the ground state has been determined. It is shown that the effective bond order of the Re−Re bond is close to three, due to the weakness of, in particular, the δ bond. The electronic spectrum has been calculated with the inclusion of spin−orbit coupling. Observed spectral features have been reproduced with good accuracy, and a number of new assignments are suggested. 1. Introduction In 1965, F. A. Cotton and C. B. Harris reported the crystal 1 structure of K2[Re2Cl8]‚2H2O. A surprisingly short Re-Re distance of 2.24 Å was found. This was the first example of 2- a multiple bond between two metal atoms, and the Re2Cl8 ion has since then become the prototype for this type of complexes. A new era of inorganic chemistry was born. Cotton analyzed the bonding using simple molecular orbital 2- (MO) theory and concluded that a quadruple Re-Re bond Figure 1. Structure of Re2Cl8 . 1,2 was formed. Two parallel ReCl4 units are connected by order depends on the relation between the occupation of the the Re-Re bond.

Scalar relativistic effects and spin-orbit coupling have been included in the calculations. In the Ac2 and Th2 diatoms the atomic 6d,7s, and 7p orbitals are the significant contributors to the bond, while for the two heavier diatoms, the 5f orbitals become 3 - + increasingly important. Ac2 is characterized by a double bond with a ∑g (0g ) ground state, a bond distance 3 of 3.64. Å, and a bond energy of 1.19 eV. Th2 has quadruple bond character with a Dg(1g) ground state. The bond distance is 2.76 Å and the bond energy (D0) 3.28 eV. Pa2 is characterized by a quintuple bond 3 - + with a ∑g (0g ) ground state. The bond distance is 2.37 Å and the bond energy 4.00 eV. The uranium 7 diatom has also a quintuple bond with a Og (8g) ground state, a bond distance of 2.43 Å, and a bond energy of 1.15 eV.

Yu,* Ting-Shen Kuo, and Yi-Chou Tsai* In the field of metal–metal multiple bonding, there are many factors that affect the metal–metal bond lengths.

Preparative methods for metal cluster compounds containing single and multiple metal-metal bonds. Type of bonding and molecular orbital picture of the M-M bonds in such cluster. 2. Introduction Metal-metal multiple bonding is an important feature of the chemistry of many transition elements andis very important to the field of metal cluster chemistry. They constitute an important class of multiple bonds unlike multiple bonds between the main group elements and multiple metal-ligand bonds. Multiple metal-metal bonds of the order 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4 are well- known. The Re=Re double bond was the first ever observation of a metal-metal multiple bond in 3- [Re3Cl12] . A typical property of metals is that rather than forming straight chains or rings, metals tend to agglomerate so as to form maximum number of bonds with minimum number of adjacent metal atoms, giving rise to either metal-metal multiple bonds or metal cluster compounds.
