Leslie Final Seminar July 10, 1979 Part 1 An earlier X-ray crystallographic investigation [1] indi- cated that the complexes Cu(salen) and Co(hfac) 2 reacted to form the bimetallomer Cu (salen) Co (hfac) 2 in which the oxygen donor atom of salen was simultaneously coordinated to copper and cobalt. In the course of characterizing this compound and others of the form M (salen) M' (hfac) 2 [2], it was found that they had good solubility in CH 2 C1 2 , unlike many other binuclear com- plexes. Thus, a variety of physical methods could be used to study the effect that one metal center has on the chemistry of the second metal center. The bimetallomer Cu (salen) Cu (hfac) 2 was prepared and since it contains two different copper (II) environments (six-coordinate and four-coordinate) , magnetic susceptibility and ESR spectral studies were undertaken in order to characterize the system. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements indi- cate an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction with a coupling -1 constant, J, between the copper (II) centers of -20.4 cm . This value of J was relatively small compared to other symmetric copper (II) bimetallomers and different from the value expected from theory [3,4] for a symmetric bimetallomer (with a bridge angle corresponding to that found in the copper-cobalt adduct) In order to explain these results, a single crystal X-ray diffraction study was carried out. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group PI with four molecules in the unit cell. The reduced cell parameters are a = 17.03(4) A, b = 19.11(4) A, c = 9.89(2) A, a = 96.58(11)°, 3 = 100.10(16)°, y = 107.70(13)°. The structure was refined by full-matrix least- squares methods to a weighted R factor of 0.074 for data with FQ > 3a F . The structural results indicate that the reduced value of J is due to the low symmetry of the bridge area which allows for only one phenolic oxygen to participate in the superexchange pathway [5]. The investigation of a related system appears to give similar results [6] . Part 2 There has been a great amount of work in the literature dealing with the ability of many tetradentate and pentadentate cobalt(II) complexes to reversibly bind dioxygen [7,8]. Much of this research was in part due to a desire to understand the factors involved in the binding of dioxygen in biological systems.

Part 2 There has been a great amount of work in the literature dealing with the ability of many tetradentate and pentadentate cobalt(II) complexes to reversibly bind dioxygen [7,8]. Much of this research was in part due to a desire to understand the factors involved in the binding of dioxygen in biological systems . The cobalt dioxygen adducts were considered as models since they have one unpaired electron, allowing their electronic structure to be probed using- ESR spectroscopy. In addition, potential industrial applications were recognized leading to the use of cobalt (II) complexes as catalysts for selective and controlled oxidations of organic substrates, most notably phenols [9] Previous studies have elucidated some of the factors involved in the binding of dioxygen to the porphyrin Co(PPIXDME) [10]. It was felt that the Co(PPIXDME) results would provide a foundation for examining the thermodynamic and electronic properties of cobalt (II) Schiff-base complexes.

The activation barrier for the Berry pseudorotation in Fe(CO)5 was determined experimentally to be ± −1 Ea = 2.5 0.4 kcal mol by quantitative analysis of the temperature-dependent spectral line shape. This compares well −1 with the range of Ea/(kcal mol ) = 2.0 to 2.3 calculated by various DFT methods and the value of 1.6 ± 0.3 previously obtained from 2D IR measurements by Harris et al. (Science 2008, 319, 1820). ··· The involvement of Fe(CO)5 Xe interactions in the ligand scrambling process was tested computationally at the BP86-D3/ AE2 level and found to be negligible.

  • (T = C/Si/Ge): the Uniqueness of Carbon Bonds in Tetrel Bonds
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 13 September 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201809.0228.v1 Inter/intramolecular Bonds in TH5+ (T = C/Si/Ge): The Uniqueness of Carbon bonds in Tetrel Bonds Sharon Priya Gnanasekar and Elangannan Arunan* Department of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. 560012 INDIA * Email: [email protected] Abstract Atoms in Molecules (AIM), Natural Bond Orbital (NBO), and normal coordinate analysis have been carried out at the global minimum structures of TH5+ (T = C/Si/Ge). All these analyses lead to a consistent structure for these three protonated TH4 molecules. The CH5+ has a structure with three short and two long C-H covalent bonds and no H-H bond. Hence, the popular characterization of protonated methane as a weakly bound CH3+ and H2 is inconsistent with these results. However, SiH5+ and GeH5+ are both indeed a complex formed between TH3+ and H2 stabilized by a tetrel bond, with the H2 being the tetrel bond acceptor. The three-center-two-electron bond (3c-2e) in CH5+ has an open structure, which can be characterized as a V-type 3c-2e bond and that found in SiH5+ and GeH5+ is a T-type 3c-2e bond. This difference could be understood based on the typical C-H, Si-H, Ge-H and H-H bond energies. Moreover, this structural difference observed in TH5+ can explain the trend in proton affinity of TH4. Carbon is selective in forming a ‘tetrel bond’ and when it does, it might be worthwhile to highlight it as a ‘carbon bond’.

  • 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.
