The nature of dihydrogen bonding (DHB) in VI, VII, and VIII group octahedral metal hydride complexes with H2O has been studied systematically using quantum theory of atoms-in-molecule (QTAIM) analysis. A dihydrogen bond (H···H) between hydride ligand and hydrogen of H2O is revealed in QTAIM analysis with the identification of a bond critical point (bcp). The DHB is due to the donation of electron density from the hydride ligand to the hydrogen of H2O. A strong linear correlation is observed between intermolecular ρ H···H distance (dHH) and electron density ( ) at the bcp. Structural parameters suggested the highly directional nature of DHB. Weak secondary interactions between oxygen of water and other ligands contribute significantly to the binding energy (Eint) of DHB complex (2.5 to 13.2 kcal/mol). Analysis of QTAIM parameters such as kinetic- (Gc), potential- (Vc) and total electron energy density (Hc) revealed the partially covalent character of DHB in majority of the complexes while a few of them showed closed shell character typical of purely non-covalent interactions. Keywords. Dihydrogen bond; QTAIM; metal hydrides; non-covalent interaction. 1. Introduction unfolded in many emerging areas such as hydrogen storage, water-splitting reactions, crystal engineering, The term “dihydrogen bond” (DHB) was first proposed catalyst tailoring and catalysis. 15–17 The D–Hδ +···δ +H– by Crabtree et al., in 1996 when they investigated certain A interaction, (where D and A are proton donors and N–H···H–B intermolecular interactions. 1 They also acceptors, respectively) plays a crucial role in proton explored the existence of similar M–H···H–C (M, tran- transfer processes and σ bond metathesis reactions. 18,19 sition metals) type of unconventional hydrogen bonding Szymczak et al., reported in detail the complexation ··· η2 + − and reported the internuclear H H distance, dHH in patterns of ( −H2)/D ···(H2) ···A ion pairs and the range 1.6–2.1 Å. 2 The experimental studies dis- the related dihydrogen elimination reactions. 20 Belkova closed that the stabilizing energy of DHB is within et al., explored the equilibrium between dihydrogen 3–7 kcal/mol 3,4 while considerable number of experi- bond intermediate and associated ion paired dihydro- mental and theoretical studies report on the characteriza- gen complex formation in a system CpRu(dppe)H 5–9 10 tion of DHB systems. Various groups have studied the (dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) with HA.
