Simple estimation of electron correlation energy for multi-atomic strong ionic compounds KX and (KX)2 (X=OH, NC)

On the basis of the calculations and analyses of the intrapair and interpair correlation energy of KX (X = OH, NC) molecules and the results of the transferability of both the innermost intrapair correlation energy and the inner core effect of K and X in KX molecules, we defined and calculated the K^δ+ and X^δ-correlation contributions to the total correlation energy of KX molecules. With the comparison of the pair correlation energy of K⁺, X^- and KX systems, we present a simple estimation method to estimate the electron correlation energy of strong ionic compound by summarizing the correlation energy of its constituent ion and ionic group. By using this simple method, the reasonable estimation results of the correlation energy of (KOH)₂ and (KNC)₂ have been obtained at mp2/6-311++G(d) level with Gaussian98 program, and the deviations are very small. Applying the scheme of “Separate Large System into Smaller Ones” to the calculation of electron correlation energy of large ionic compounds, it can not only save lot of computation work but also reach the chemical accuracy.

强离子键体系电子相关能简捷计算方案的应用

The calculation results of electron correlation energies of KF and （KF）2 were reported. The transferability of 1s^2 K , 1s^2 F and the inner core correlation effects of K and F in both K, K^＋, KF and F, F^-, KF systems were investigated respectively. The correlation energy contributions of K and F component to KF system were calculated. By applying the simple estimation scheme to the calculation of the correlation energy of the strong ionic compound KF and （KF）2, it was shown that such a powerful scheme could not only reach the chemical accuracy but also need little computational work.     

Untersuchungen an 1,2-Komplexen der Nickel(II)-halogenide mit N-substituierten Aminoäthylpyridinen-(2)

In the solid state complexes of the type MiL₂X₂ (L = N-substituted β-aminoethyl-pyridine; X = Cl, Br, J) have a cis-octahedral (X = Cl, Br) or a distorted trigonal bipyramidal structure (X = J). In solutions in acetone a partial dissociation occurs with the formation of NiLX₂, L, NiL₂X⁺, and X^?. Using a spectrophotometric method stability constants K_2S of the complexes NiL₂X₂ are determined. A correlation exists between log K_2s and the pK- values of the quarternary ammonium ions derived from the ligands L. Sterical factors cause the exeptional position of the chelates of β-methylaminoethylpyridine-(2).     

Acidobasic properties of molten potassium tetrahalogenogallates (X=Cl,I)

Molten potassium tetrachlorogallate and potassium tetraiodogallate were studied in terms of halogenoacidity, based on X^? ion-exchange. Titration of KX solution with GaX₃ were achieved and characterized by the shift of cathodic voltammetric curves. Autodissociation constants K_i,X/mol² kg^?1 were determined: ?log K_i,Cl=4.25±0.05 and ?log K_i,I=2.6±0.05, as well as the solubility values of KX: 0.41±0.02 and 0.80±0.02 mol kg^?1 for KCl and KI respectively.     

Potassium halide adducts as reagent ions in infrared laser desorption/ionization fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry

Potassium halide adducts of the form K₂X⁺ (X = F, CI, Br, and I) desorbed from neutral salts by high power, pulsed, infrared laser radiation are detected in abundance by Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry. FT-ICR detection of the K₂X⁺ adduct is favored at increased laser power densities (> 10⁸ W/cm²) and at trapping potentials below 3 V, independent of X. In contrast, detection of K⁺ is promoted at laser power densities below 10⁸ W/cm² or at higher trapping potentials, with a threshold for trapping that is strongly dependent on X. When laser desorption/ionization (LDI)/FT-ICR is performed on 1:1 mixtures of KX and organic molecules, ejection pulses applied continuously at the cyclotron resonance frequency of K₂X⁺ inhibit formation of the cation-attached product, [M + K]⁺. Conversely, resonance ejection of K⁺ enhances [M + K]⁺, apparently by reducing the matrix ion population trapped in the cell. In evaluating higher molecular weight adducts, only K₃F ₂ ⁺ formed in abundance by laser desorption of KF is found through double resonance experiments to contribute significantly to formation of [M + K]⁺. Finally, among the potassium halides, KI generates the highest ratio of detected K₂X⁺ to K⁺ at low trapping potentials and is therefore best suited for cation-transfer reactions in infrared LDI/FT-ICR experiments performed at power densities in the 10⁸ W/cm² range.     

Ab initio study of hydrated potassium halides KX(H2O)1-6 (X=F,Cl,Br,I)

The ionic dissociation of salts was examined with a theoretical study of KX (X=F,Cl,Br,I) hydrated by up to six water molecules KX(H2O)n (n=1-6). Calculations were done using the density functional theory and second order M?ller-Plesset (MP2) perturbational theory. To provide more conclusive results, single point energy calculations using the coupled cluster theory with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations were performed on the MP2 optimized geometries. The dissociation feature of the salts was examined in terms of K-X bond lengths and K-X stretch frequencies. In general, the successive incorporation of water molecules to the cluster lengthens the K-X distance, and consequently the corresponding frequency decreases. Near 0 K, the KX salt ion pairs can be partly separated by more than five water molecules. The pentahydrated KX salt is partly dissociated, though these partly dissociated structures are almost isoenergetic to the undissociated ones for KFKCl. For the hexahydrated complexes, KF is undissociated, KClKBr is partly dissociated, and KI is dissociated (though this dissociated structure is nearly isoenergetic to a partly dissociated one). On the other hand, at room temperature, the penta- and hexahydrated undissociated structures which have less hydrogen bonds are likely to be more stable than the partly dissociated ones because of the entropy effect. Therefore, the dissociation at room temperature could take place for higher clusters than the hexahydrated ones.     

Darstellung und Charakterisierung von [Pt(mal)2]2− und von trans-[Pt(mal)2X2]2− (X = Cl,Br, I,SCN)

Preparation and Characterization of [Pt(mal)₂]^2? and trans-[Pt(mal)₂X₂]^2? (X = Cl, Br, I, SCN) By twofold treatment of K₂[PtCl₄] with potassium hydrogen malonate in a queous solution the yellow K₂[Pt(mal)₂] · H₂O is obtained. After extraction with tetrabutylammonium ions into dichloromethane by oxidative addition at ?90°C the Pt^IV complexes [Pt(mal)₂X₂]^2?, X = Cl, Br, I, SCN, are formed. The SCN ligands are coordinated to Pt via S. The IR and Raman spectra are discussed and assigned.     

Theoretical study of the electronic structure of LiX and NaX (X = Rb,Cs) molecules

Adiabatic potential energy, spectroscopic constants, dipole moments, and vibrational levels have been computed for the lowest electronic states of alkali dimers LiX and NaX (X = Rb, Cs). Calculations have been carried with the use of an ab initio approach with core‐potential potentials and full‐valence configuration. Thus, these systems are treated as two‐electron systems. A good agreement is obtained for some lowest states of the molecules studied with available theoretical works. The existence of numerous avoided crossings between electronic states for ¹Σ symmetries is related to the charge‐transfer process in each molecule between its two ionic systems (Li⁺X^?, Li^?X⁺) and (Na⁺X^?, Na^?X⁺). © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Geometries,vibrational frequencies,and electron affinities of X2Cl (X=C,Si,Ge) clusters

Ab initio quantum chemical calculations have been performed on X₂Cl^? and X₂Cl (X = C, Si, Ge) clusters. The geometrical structures, vibrational frequencies, electronic properties and dissociation energies are investigated at the Hartree–Fock (HF), Møller–Plesset second‐ and fourth‐order (MP2, MP4), CCSD(T) level with the 6‐311+G(d) basis set. The X₂Cl (X = C, Si, Ge) and X₂Cl^? (X = Si, Ge) take a bent shape obtained at the ground state, while C₂Cl^? has a linear structure. The impact on internal electron transfer between the X₂Cl and the corresponding anional clusters is studied. The three different types of electron affinities (EAs) at the CCSD(T) are reported. The most reliable adiabatic electronic affinities, obtained at the CCSD(T)/cc‐pvqz level of theory, are predicted to be 3.30, 2.62, and 1.98 eV for C₂Cl, Si₂Cl, and Ge₂Cl, respectively. The calculated EAs of C₂Cl and Ge₂Cl are in good agreement with theoretical results reported. The correlation effects and basis sets effects on the geometrical structures and dissociation energies are discussed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007     

NMR (195Pt and 13C) contribution to the study of some Pt(II), Pt(IV) and mixed-valence thioamido complexes

The ¹⁹⁵Pt and ¹³C chemical shifts (δ_Pt and δ_c) are reported for platinum(II), platinum(IV) and class II mixed-valence complexes, with general formula [PtL₄]X₂, cis- and trans-PtL₂X₂, PtL₂X₄ and Pt₂L₄X₆ (where L may be thiourea, 2-imidazolidine-thione, tetrahydro 2-pyrimidinethione, thiocaprolactam, pyridine-2-thione and tetramethylthiourea, and X may be Cl or Br). The ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts can be understood in view of ¹³C data in terms of variations of electronegativities and σ-donor abilities of ligands attached to platinum.     

A theoretical study of electronic effects in alkyne‐linked reactive intermediates: (nitrenoethynyl)methylenes, (nitrenoethynyl)silylenes,and (nitrenoethynyl)germylenes

Acetylene‐linked reactive intermediates of (nitrenoethynyl)‐X‐methylenes, (nitrenoethynyl)‐X‐silylenes, and (nitrenoethynyl)‐X‐germylenes are almost experimentally unreachable (X–M–C≡C–N; X=H ( 1 ), CN ( 2 ), OH ( 3 ), NH₂ ( 4 ), NO₂ ( 5 ), and CHO ( 6 ); M=C, Si, and Ge). The effects of the electron‐donating and electron withdrawing groups were compared and contrasted at seven levels of theory. All singlet species as ground states with one local open‐shell singlet carbene subunit (π¹π¹) and another local open‐shell singlet nitrene subunit (π¹π¹) were found to be more stable than their corresponding triplets including one local open‐shell singlet carbene (δ¹π¹) (or one local closed‐shell singlet carbene [δ²π⁰]) and another local triplet nitrene subunit (π¹π¹) with 45.94–77.996 kcal/mol singlet–triplet energy gap (ΔE_s‐t). Their relative silylenes and germylenes made reduction of ΔE_s‐t, so the triplet ground states were found for species 3 _Si , 4 _Si , 5 _Si , 2 _Ge , 3 _Ge , 4 _{Ge ,} and 5 _Ge . All the singlet silylenes/germylenes formed by one local closed‐shell singlet silylenes/germylenes (δ²π⁰) and one local closed‐shell singlet nitrene subunit (π²π⁰). Also, one local closed‐shell singlet silylene/germylene subunit (δ²π⁰) and one local triplet nitrene subunit (π¹π¹) were observed for triplet silylenes/germylenes. The singlet and triplet species 3 _Si , 4 _Si , 3 _Ge , and 4 _Ge , due to their electrophilic (Si₄/Ge₄) and nucleophilic (X₅) centers, could be identified as intermediates in chemical reactions.     

Unusual crystal and molecular structure of tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium fluoride

According to the X-ray diffraction data, the crystal and molecular structure of tris(2-hydroxyethyl) ammonium fluoride (F^?N⁺H(CH₂CH₂OH)₃, fluoroprotatrane, substantially differs from other halo protatranes X^?N⁺H(CH₂CH₂OH)₃ (X = Cl, Br, and I). At X = F, to the endo-molecular LP of the nitrogen atom the HF molecule having the minimum ionic radius in a series of X^? anions is bonded. The geometry of fluoroprotatrane and the cation packing in the crystal are analyzed.     

Competition between reactivity and relaxation in free electron attachment to molecules

The reactivity of the C₆F₅X (X=F, Cl, Br, I) molecules following low energy (0–15 eV) electron attachment is studied in the gas phase under single collision conditions, free molecular clusters and condensed molecules by means of crossed beams and surface experiments. All four molecules exhibit a very prominent resonance for low energy electron attachment (<1 eV, attachment cross section >10⁻¹⁴ cm²). Under collision free conditions thermal electron capture generates long lived molecular parent anions C₆F₅X^−*. Along the line Cl, Br, I dissociation into X⁻+C₆F₅ and X+C₆F₅-increasingly competes until for X=1 only chemical fragmentation is observed on the mass spectrometric time scale. In free molecular clusters chemical fragmentation is quantitatively quenched at low energies in favour of associative attachment yielding undissociated, relaxed ions (C₆F₅X)⁻ _n,n≥1. A further dissociative resonance at 6.5 eV in C₆F₅Cl is considerably enhanched in clusters. If these molecules are finally condensed on a solid surface, one observes a prominent Cl⁻ desorption resonance at 6.5 eV. While the quantitative quenching of the chemical reactivity at low energies is due to the additional possibilities of energy dissipation under aggregation, the enhanched reactivity at 6.5 eV is interpreted by the conversion of a core excited open channel resonance in single molecules into a closed channel (Feshbach) resonance when it is coupled to environmental molecules.     

Bond dissociation energies of ligands in square planar Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes: An assessment using trans influence

DFT calculations using MPWB1K method with COSMO continuum solvation model have been carried out to quantify the trans influence of various X ligands (E_X) in [Pt^IICl₃X]ⁿ⁻ complexes as well as the mutual trans influence of two X and Y ligands (E_XY) in [Pt^IICl₂XY]ⁿ⁻ complexes. A quantitative structure energy relationship (QSER) is derived for predicting the E_XY using E_X and E_Y and this relationship showed a strong similarity to a QSER derived for predicting E_XY of [Pd^IICl₂XY]ⁿ⁻ complexes. Quantification of the contributions of E_X and E_XY to the bond dissociation energy of the ligand X (BDE_X) in complexes of the type [M^IIX(Y)X′(Y′)] (M = Pd, Pt) is also achieved. The BDE_X of any ligand X in these complexes can be predicted using the equations, viz. BDE_X(Pd) = 1.196E_X − 0.603E_XY − 0.118E_X’Y’ + 0.442D_X + 15.169 for Pd(II) complexes and BDE_X(Pt) = 1.420E_X − 0.741E_XY − 0.125E_X’Y’ + 0.498D_X + 13.852 for Pt(II) complexes, where D_X corresponds to the bond dissociation energy of X in [M^IICl₃X]ⁿ⁻ complexes. These expressions suggest that the mutual trans influence from X and Y is more dominant than the mutual trans influence from X′ and Y′ and both factors contribute significantly to the weakening of M-X bond. We also obtained a strong linear relationship between E_X and the electron density ρ(r) at the bond critical point of M-Cl bond trans to the X in [M^IICl₃X]ⁿ⁻ and this allows us to express the BDE_X(Pd) and BDE_X(Pt) in terms of only the ρ(r) and D_X. We have demonstrated that using a database comprising of D_X and the ρ(r), the bond dissociation energy of X in complexes of the type [M^IIX(Y)X′(Y′)] can be predicted.     

Substituent effects in second row molecules: Molecular orbital studies of phosphorus(III) compounds

Substituent effects in directly bonded P(III) compounds are investigated by ab initio MO calculations of relative energies and the results compared with those for the corresponding nitrogen species. The investigation covers substitution by X = BH₂, CH₃, NH₂, OH, F in PHX^-, PH₂X, and PH₃X⁺ series molecules with some attention also to PX₃ and PX₃H⁺ species. Except for compounds containing the π-acceptor substituent BH₂, σ-interactions dominate substitution behaviour but the second row species tolerate electron withdrawal better than their first row analogues, the severe destabilization of NH₂X and NH₃X⁺ by σ-electron withdrawal being absent from PH₂X and PH₃X⁺. In contrast to the σ-withdrawing NH₂ group, the PH₂ group is characterized as a mild σ-donor. PH^- is a σ-donor and PH⁺₃ a σ-acceptor. π-Bonding to the second row atom is an important means of maintaining electroneutrality in the PH₃X⁺ series, where dπ functions have a bigger role than pπ functions.     

Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole

Summary Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of 2,5-dimethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole Ni(DTZ)X₂ (X = Cl or Br) and M(DTZ)₂X₂ (M = Ni, X = 1 or N03; M = Cu, X = Cl, Br or NO₃) have been prepared. The i.r. spectra show that in all the complexes the ligand is N,N- or N-bonded to the metal while the sulfur atom does not participate in coordination, and that the halide ions are coordinated forming terminal M-X bonds. The NO ₃ ^- group is coordinated in both the nitrato complexes. Magnetic moments of 3.07–3.29 B.M. for the nickel(II) and 1.86–1.92 B.M. for the copper(II) complexes were observed. The Ni(DTZ)X₂ complexes have a pseudo-tetrahedral [N₂X₂] coordination with N,N-bridging ligand molecules. The Ni(DTZ)₂X₂ and Cu(DTZ)₂X₂ complexes, with predominantly monodentate ligand, involve six-coordinate metal atoms with strong equatorial [N₂X₂] bonds and weaker axial bonds.Author to whom all correspondence should be directed.     

Small Cycloalkane (CN)2CC(CN)2 Structures Are Highly Directional Non‐covalent Carbon‐Bond Donors

High‐level calculations (RI‐MP2/def2‐TZVP) disclosed that the σ‐hole in between two C atoms of cycloalkane X₂C?CX₂ structures (X=F, CN) is increasingly exposed with decreasing ring size. The interacting energy of complexes of F^?, HO^?, N≡C^?, and H₂CO with cyclopropane and cyclobutane X₂C?CX₂ derivatives was calculated. For X=F, these energies are small to positive, while for X=CN they are all negative, ranging from ?6.8 to ?42.3 kcal mol^?1. These finding are corroborated by a thorough statistical survey of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). No clear evidence could be found in support of non‐covalent carbon bonding between electron‐rich atoms (El.R.) and F₂C?CF₂ structures. In marked contrast, El.R.???(CN)₂C?C(CN)₂ interactions are abundant and highly directional. Based on these findings, the hydrophobic electrophilic bowl formed by 1,1′,2,2′‐tetracyano cyclopropane or cyclobutane derivatives is proposed as a new and synthetically accessible supramolecular synthon.     

Complex Formation of PdII Ion with the Tripodal Ligand Tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine

The complex formation of Pd^II with tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (N(CH₂CH₂N(CH₃)₂)₃, Me₆tren) was investigated at 25° and ionic strength I = 1, using UV/VIS, potentiometric, and NMR measurements. Chloride, bromide, and thiocyanate were used as auxiliary ligands. The stability constant of [Pd(Me₆tren)]²⁺ in various ionic media was obtained: log β([Pd(Me₆tren)] = 30.5 (I = 1(NaCl)) and 30.8 (I = 1(NaBr)), as well as the formation constants of the mixed complexes [Pd(HMe₆tren)X]²⁺ from [Pd(HMe₆tren)(H₂O)]³⁺:log K = 3.50 = Cl^?) and 3.64 (X^? = Br^?) and [Pd(Me₆tren)X]⁺ from [Pd(Me₆tren)(H₂O)]²⁺: log K = 2.6 (X^? = Cl^?), 2.8(Br^?) and 5.57 (SCN^?) at I = 1 (NaClO₃). The above data, as well as the NMR measurements do not provide any evidence for the penta-coordination of Pd^II, proposed in some papers.     

Rules on intrapair and interpair correlation energy for Cl, Cl−and MCl (M=H, Li, Na, K)

According to the calculation results of the intrapair and interpair correlation energy for the title systems, it has been found that the intrapair correlation energy of K shell of Cl is almost a constant and both the intrashell and intershell correlation energy of K and L shell changes little. It has also been found that in MCl series compounds the value of Cl correlation energy contribution depends on the ionicity of MCl compounds, i.e., the Cl correlation energy contribution increases with the increase of the ionic bond strength of the compound and this value is always less than the correlation energy of Cl^- anion but always larger than that of Cl atom. These rules are helpful for the estimation of the correlation energy of ionic compounds and the energy changes of chemical reactions.
