The fact that so much work has been done on these systems is not surprising because as a ligand, thiocyanate ion is a very interesting species. For example* it is one of the few monodentate ligands which can coordinate to metal ions in one of three different ways. Thiocyanate ion may bond through either the sulfur or nitrogen ends, or bond simultaneously through both ends when it acts as a bridge between two metal ions. Although much time has been spent on synthesis, the truly interesting features of these complexes have been elucidated by means of various physical methods. For example, the purpose of the majority of the work has been to determine the mode of attachment of the thiocyanato group, and to apply modern theories of bonding to examine the factors which influence this attachment.. Until the work of this thesis was undertaken, no attempt had been reported to prepare and examine thiocyanate derivatives of low oxidation state transition metals. In particular, it has been the purpose of this work to 1 synthesize and characterize thiocyanato derivatives of some metal carbonyls. These systems were expected to be analogous in part to the known metal carbonyl halides. It was* then* of great interest to have compared and contrasted the results of this investigation with those of the corresponding carbonyl halides and the known thiocyanato complexes. HISTORICAL The thiocyanate ion is known to coordinate to transition metal ions in one of three different ways; through either the sulfur or nitrogen ends or as a bridge between two metal ions, when the sulfur and nitrogen ends coordinate simultaneously. These data have been supported by X-ray studies for the three modes of attachment. (l)3 (2), (3 )5 (^) Table 1 (1) shows some terminal thiocyanato complexes whose structures have been determined by X-ray analysis. Certain facts are noticed immediately from the table. For example, the only listed thiocyanato complexes which are N-bonded are those of the first row transition metals. The table also shows that the S-bonded complexes are those of the second and third row transition metals. This table is not complete and the above assignments do not represent strict conclusions. For example, although essentially all first row transition metals bond only 1 through nitrogen of terminal SCN groups, the second and third row metals may in some instances bond through Two exceptions have been found for Co(III) which bonds a terminal thiocyanato group through sulfur. The first example is in the vitamin Bto complex (5) and the second example is in the complex K^Co^CNj^SCN.

    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.

    Assembly of Multifunctional Materials Using Molecular Cluster Building Blocks Bonnie Choi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2018 © 2018 Bonnie Choi All rights reserved Abstract Assembly of Multifunctional Materials Using Molecular Cluster Building Blocks Bonnie Choi This thesis explores the synthesis, properties, and potential applications of molecular clusters and the hierarchical solids that form when complementary clusters are combined. Chapter 1 introduces the diverse set of molecular clusters that I employ as nanoscale building blocks in the assembly of multifunctional materials. The core structure of the molecular clusters is closely related to the superconducting Chevrel phases. In discrete clusters, however, the core is passivated by organic ligands, which add stability and important functionalities. The molecular clusters have rich physical and chemical properties of their own, and I present some of the techniques used to investigate their intrinsic electronic properties. Finally, I review some of the modes by which the molecular clusters interact with another to assemble into hierarchical solids. The structural tunability and complexity embedded in the molecular clusters will enable the design of modular, well-defined, multifunctional materials with desirable electronic and magnetic properties. Chapter 2 details the synthesis and characterization of a family of manganese telluride molecular clusters. By varying the ligands that decorate the surface of the inorganic core, I show that the core structures can be tuned. The study of molecular clusters provides insight into how extended solids form. As such, I make structural comparisons of the clusters to known solid-state compounds.

D. Bhatt / Selected topics in coordination chemistry / 2 MODULE 1: METAL CARBONYLS LECTURE #1 1. INTRODUCTION: Justus von Liebig attempted initial experiments on reaction of carbon monoxide with metals in 1834. However, it was demonstrated later that the compound he claimed to be potassium carbonyl was not a metal carbonyl at all. After the synthesis of [PtCl2(CO)2] and [PtCl2(CO)]2 reported by Schutzenberger (1868) followed by [Ni(CO)4] reported by Mond et al (1890), Hieber prepared numerous compounds containing metal and carbon monoxide. Compounds having at least one bond between carbon and metal are known as organometallic compounds. Metal carbonyls are the transition metal complexes of carbon monoxide containing metal-carbon bond. Lone pair of electrons are available on both carbon and oxygen atoms of carbon monoxide ligand. However, as the carbon atoms donate electrons to the metal, these complexes are named as carbonyls. A variety of such complexes such as mono nuclear, poly nuclear, homoleptic and mixed ligand are known. These compounds are widely studied due to industrial importance, catalytic properties and structural interest. V. D. Bhatt / Selected topics in coordination chemistry / 3 Carbon monoxide is one of the most important π- acceptor ligand. Because of its π- acidity, carbon monoxide can stabilize zero formal oxidation state of metals in carbonyl complexes. 2. SYNTHESIS OF METAL CARBONYLS Following are some of the general methods of preparation of metal carbonyls.
