Having been for many years merely a chemist, I must thank the many fellow scientists who have put their work aside for mine. I thank Dr. Thomas Sexton, for his clarity in explaining the physics that I had long forgotten, and the mathematics that I never knew. I thank Dr. Vytor Pinerio Oliveria, for many fruitful scholarly discussions, always freely granted without bravado and (I hope) to our mutual enrichment. I thank Drs. Robert John Brown Kalescky and Marek Freindorf for their expertise, their instruction, and their efforts with and against the unforgiving computer clusters. But, mostly I thank Professor Dr. Dieter Cremer, for being the true embodiment of the four scientists. He could bring the chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer sciences together, and shared that knowledge and expertise literally to the end of his days. My proudest academic accolade came at the completion of the annulene project, when he said, \I now see that you have the intelligence to make a Ph.D." I thank and wish to praise my current research advisor, Dr. Elfi Kraka, who, after the sudden death of my advisor Dr. Cremer picked up the pieces of my academic career and carried me to this finish line. The strength, dedication, and love that that required was beyond anything that I have seen before or will probably ever see again. I wish to thank Dr. Michael Lattman, for guiding me through the intricacies of the graduate school process, and Dr. Patty Wisian-Neilson for being his right arm. Sometimes you just need friends. iv Humason, Alan Bachelor of Science, Chemistry, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Master of Science, Chemistry, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX Multi-Reference Systems in Chemistry Unconventional Bonding in Organic Chemistry Covalent Bonding in Transition Metal Clusters Advisor: Dr. Elfriede Kraka Doctor of Philosophy degree conferred May 19, 2018 Dissertation completed April 19, 2018 The geometries, chemical properties, and reactivities of molecules are determined by their electronic structure. The field of ab initio computational chemistry works to calculate the kinetic and potential energies between the nuclei and electrons of a molecule. These calculations usually begin with the determination the electronic ground state. Molecules that cannot be adequately described with a single, ground state configuration are called multi-reference systems, which require the calculation of a linear combination of all pertinent electronic configurations, with a corresponding increase in computational cost. This is not `black box' methodology, because solving these systems requires a good understanding of the chemistry being described, so that the important configurations among millions of possibilities can be selected. Their multi-reference character also makes them some of the most interesting molecules in chemistry. In this dissertation, we have studied ultra-long CC bonds in simple and unique organic molecules, biradical pancake bonded species, fluxional bridged annulenes, and covalently bonded transition metal diatoms. We find that CC ultra-long bonds and electrostatic pancake bonding interactions can be described by single-reference methods, but that fluxional bridged annulenes require multi- reference methods. Transition metal diatoms can only be described by multi-reference methods. We deter- mined which methods, basis sets, and active spaces work best in each of the 30 cases. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES . vii LIST OF TABLES . xi LIST OF SYMBOLS AND ACRONYMS . xiii CHAPTER 1.

Schneider, Gottingen,€ Germany D. Stalke, Go¨ttingen, Germany Aims and Scope Structure and Bonding is a publication which uniquely bridges the journal and book format. Organized into topical volumes, the series publishes in depth and critical reviews on all topics concerning structure and bonding. With over 50 years of history, the series has developed from covering theoretical methods for simple molecules to more complex systems. Topics addressed in the series now include the design and engineering of molecular solids such as molecular machines, surfaces, two dimensional materials, metal clusters and supramolecular species based either on complementary hydrogen bonding networks or metal coordination centers in metal-organic framework mate- rials (MOFs). Also of interest is the study of reaction coordinates of organometallic transformations and catalytic processes, and the electronic properties of metal ions involved in important biochemical enzymatic reactions. Volumes on physical and spectroscopic techniques used to provide insights into structural and bonding problems, as well as experimental studies associated with the development of bonding models, reactivity pathways and rates of chemical processes are also relevant for the series. Structure and Bonding is able to contribute to the challenges of communicating the enormous amount of data now produced in contemporary research by producing volumes which summarize important developments in selected areas of current interest and provide the conceptual framework necessary to use and interpret mega- databases.

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’.

  • Nobel Lecture, 8 December 1981 by ROALD HOFFMANN Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y
    BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Nobel lecture, 8 December 1981 by ROALD HOFFMANN Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. 14853 R. B. Woodward, a supreme patterner of chaos, was one of my teachers. I dedicate this lecture to him, for it is our collaboration on orbital symmetry conservation, the electronic factors which govern the course of chemical reac- tions, which is recognized by half of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. From Woodward I learned much: the significance of the experimental stimulus to theory, the craft of constructing explanations, the importance of aesthetics in science. I will try to show you how these characteristics of chemical theory may be applied to the construction of conceptual bridges between inorganic and organic chemistry. FRAGMENTS Chains, rings, substituents - those are the building blocks of the marvelous edifice of modern organic chemistry. Any hydrocarbon may be constructed on paper from methyl groups, CH 3, methylenes, CH 2, methynes, CH, and carbon atoms, C. By substitution and the introduction of heteroatoms all of the skeletons and functional groupings imaginable, from ethane to tetrodotoxin, may be obtained. The last thirty years have witnessed a remarkable renaissance of inorganic chemistry, and the particular flowering of the field of transition metal organo- metallic chemistry. Scheme 1 shows a selection of some of the simpler creations of the laboratory in this rich and ever-growing field. Structures l-3 illustrate at a glance one remarkable feature of transition metal fragments. Here are three iron tricarbonyl complexes of organic moie- ties - cyclobutadiene, trimethylenemethane, an enol, hydroxybutadiene - which on their own would have little kinetic or thermodynamic stability.

  • Aromaticity Sem- Ii
    AROMATICITY SEM- II In 1931, German chemist and physicist Sir Erich Hückel proposed a theory to help determine if a planar ring molecule would have aromatic properties .This is a very popular and useful rule to identify aromaticity in monocyclic conjugated compound. According to which a planar monocyclic conjugated system having ( 4n +2) delocalised (where, n = 0, 1, 2, .....) electrons are known as aromatic compound . For example: Benzene, Naphthalene, Furan, Pyrrole etc. Criteria for Aromaticity 1) The molecule is cyclic (a ring of atoms) 2) The molecule is planar (all atoms in the molecule lie in the same plane) 3) The molecule is fully conjugated (p orbitals at every atom in the ring) 4) The molecule has 4n+2 π electrons (n=0 or any positive integer Why 4n+2π Electrons? According to Hückel's Molecular Orbital Theory, a compound is particularly stable if all of its bonding molecular orbitals are filled with paired electrons. - This is true of aromatic compounds, meaning they are quite stable. - With aromatic compounds, 2 electrons fill the lowest energy molecular orbital, and 4 electrons fill each subsequent energy level (the number of subsequent energy levels is denoted by n), leaving all bonding orbitals filled and no anti-bonding orbitals occupied. This gives a total of 4n+2π electrons. - As for example: Benzene has 6π electrons. Its first 2π electrons fill the lowest energy orbital, and it has 4π electrons remaining. These 4 fill in the orbitals of the succeeding energy level. The criteria for Antiaromaticity are as follows: 1) The molecule must be cyclic and completely conjugated 2) The molecule must be planar.

  • 1 5. Chemical Bonding
    5. Chemical Bonding: The Covalent Bond Model 5.1 The Covalent Bond Model Almost all chemical substances are found as aggregates of atoms in the form of molecules and ions produced through the reactions of various atoms of elements except the noble-gas elements which are stable mono-atomic gases. Chemical bond is a term that describes the attractive force that is holding the atoms of the same or different kind of atoms in forming a molecule or ionic solid that has more stability than the individual atoms. Depending on the kinds of atoms participating in the interaction there seem to be three types of bonding: Gaining or Losing Electrons: Ionic bonding: Formed between many ions formed by metal and nonmetallic elements. Sharing Electrons: Covalent bonding: sharing of electrons between two atoms of non-metals. Metallic Bonding: sharing of electrons between many atoms of metals.

  • 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.
