  • 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
    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.

    Time-Resolved UV-IR Experiments that Suggest Photoactivated Fe-Cu Dinuclear Catalyst Kyle J. Clark, ‡ Jacob T. Davis,‡ Doo-Hyun Kwon, ‡ Erin E. Martinez, Michael R. Talley, David J. Michaelis,* Daniel H. Ess,* and Matthew C. Asplund* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah 84602 USA 1 ABSTRACT Heterodinuclear complexes with a direct metal-metal bond offer the possibility of unique mechanisms and intermediates. The Cp(CO)2Fe-Cu(IPr) (IPr = N,N-bis(2,6- diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) heterodinuclear complex 1 is known to photochemically catalyze arene borylation. To examine possible initial steps of photo-initiated catalysis, we synthesized a triethylsilyl-substituted Fe-Cu catalyst that provided cyclohexane solubility to conduct time-resolved UV-IR studies. Time-resolved vibrational spectroscopic measurements suggest that photolysis of 1 stimulates CO dissociation without Fe-Cu metal-metal bond cleavage. This suggests that arene borylation catalysis may begin with a photochemical step rather than a relatively endothermic cleavage of the Fe-Cu bond. A new possible catalytic cycle is proposed. 2 INTRODUCTION Compared to catalysts with a single metal and ligand framework, transition-metal heterodinuclear catalysts with a direct metal-metal bond offer the potential of unique mechanisms and intermediates, oxidation states, reactivity, and selectivity, especially for bond activation reactions (Scheme 1a).1 This divergent reactivity results from the ability of substrates to be activated across two

Street The NASA-Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH Presider: Daniel Scherson Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH Session Overview: This session is devoted to all aspects of physical electrochemistry including electrocatalytic phenomena, corrosion, semiconductor electrochemistry and other topics. 1. Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) as Support for PtRu Anode Catalysts of a Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell (DEFC) Susmita Singh and Jayati Datta, Department of Chemistry, Bengal Engg Sci University, Shibpur, Howrah, India DEFC is one of the most promising power sources for the near future. Since the kinetics and electro- efficiency of the process strongly depend on the noble metal formulations and their dispersion on suitable support, an intensive research is devoted to decrease the catalyst loading. This work reports an improved electro-catalytic activity for ethanol oxidation at Pt-Ru co-deposited surfaces on MWCNT support. Pt-Ru catalysts with different compositions were synthesized on pre- functionalized MWCNT by adopting sol method. The degree of surface functionalization is found to depend on the level of acid treatment. Chemical reduction of precursor salt using ethylene glycol as mild reducing agent as well as capping agent at 1400C yields catalyst particle size of few nanometers as confirmed by XRD and TEM studies. Cyclic voltammetry, polarization study and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to evaluate the electro-catalytic phenomenon over a range of H2SO4 and ethanol concentrations. A spectacular negative potential shift of more than 250 mV of the onset of ethanol oxidation was observed on the Pt-Ru catalyst in comparison to Pt alone.
