含四硫富瓦烯Schiff碱配体和配合物二阶非线性光学性质的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)B3LYP(UB3LYP)/6-31g*方法对含四硫富瓦烯Schiff碱配体和它的Fe(III/II),Co(II),Ni(III/II),Cu(II)配合物的极化率和二阶非线性光学(NLO)性质进行了研究,并对其中闭壳层分子采用含时密度泛函理论(TD-DFT)方法计算了电子光谱.结果表明:含四硫富瓦烯Schiff碱配体本身具有较大的二阶NLO系数,二价金属配合物二阶NLO系数与配体接近,三价金属配合物二阶NLO系数约为配体的30倍.金属配合物不同自旋多重度时其二阶NLO系数相差不大.结合配体和配合物的前线分子轨道分析可知,配体和二价金属配合物的二阶NLO系数主要是配体内的电荷转移(ILCT)的贡献,三价金属配合物既有ILCT又有金属与配体间电荷转移(MLCT),同时前线分子轨道能级差显著减小,因此它们的二阶NLO系数显著增大.

运用Gaussian 03量子化学程序包, 采用密度泛函理论(DFT)B3LYP/LanL2DZ方法, 对重要的磷光材料金属铂配合物的结构与电子光谱进行了研究, 通过对基态结构前线分子轨道成分的分析, 指认与发光有关的低能吸收全部是金属到配体的电荷跃迁(MLCT)和配体到配体跃迁(LLCT)的混合跃迁. 在配体的苯环上引入F原子可使配合物的前线轨道能级降低, 其降低程度及对LUMO-HOMO能隙的影响与F所连的位置有关. 配体苯环的2位和4位引入F后, HOMO能级降低程度大, HOMO-LUMO能隙变大; 而F取代配体苯环3位和5位的氢使LUMO能级降低较多, 使能隙变小. 能隙的改变导致2位和4位的F取代配合物的吸收光谱和发射光谱均发生蓝移, 而于3位和5位F取代的配合物的吸收光谱和发射光谱均发生红移. 这就进一步证明通过改变取代基的种类和位置可以调控发光颜色.

Ring-expanded iridium and rhodium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes: a comparative DFT study of heterocycle ring size and metal center diversity

A new series of ring-expanded six- and seven-membered N-heterocyclic carbene precursors (re-NHCs) and their transition metal complexes were synthesized. The basic properties of the synthesized materials were investigated by density functional theory (DFT). The six- and seven-membered re-NHCs were synthesized in good yield via reaction of the corresponding alkyldibromides or alkyldiiodides with N,N′-bis-(2-phenylbenzene)formamidine in the presence of K₂CO₃ under aerobic conditions. Complexes, represented by the formula [ML_1,2(COD)Cl] (where M = Ir or Rh and L is a ring-expanded N-heterocyclic carbene ligand), were synthesized in the presence of the corresponding free carbene and iridium or rhodium metal precursors in tetrahydrofuran. All new re-NHC complexes were characterized by different analytical techniques, including NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV spectroscopy and elemental analysis. According to molecular electrostatic potential calculations, the electrophilic properties of the complexes were aligned, from highest to lowest, as Ir-6-DiPh, Rh-6-DiPh and Ir-7-DiPh. The HOMO, LUMO and energy gaps of the complexes were calculated by DFT. On the basis of the DFT analysis, it can be predicted that Rh-6-DiPh is the most stable complex and Ir-7-DiPh is more reactive than Ir-6-DiPh.     

Are gas-phase reactions of five-coordinate divalent metal ion complexes affected by coordination geometry?

Five-coordinate metal complex ions of the type [ML](2+) [where M = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and L= 1,9-bis(2-pyridyl)-2,5,8-triazanonane (DIEN-(pyr)(2)) and 1,9-bis(2-imidazolyl)-2,5,8-triazanonane (DIEN-(imi)(2)] have been reacted with acetonitrile in the gas phase using a modified quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. The kinetics and thermodynamics of these reactions show that the reactivity of these complexes is affected by metal electronic structure and falls into three groups: Mn(II) and Ni(II) complexes are the most reactive, Fe(II) and Co(II) complexes exhibit intermediate reactivity, and Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes are the least reactive. To help explain the experimental trends in reactivity, theoretical calculations have been used. Due to the relatively large size of the metal complexes involved, we have utilized a two-layered ONIOM method to perform geometry optimizations and single point energy calculations for the [ML](2+) and [ML + CH(3)CN](2+) systems. The calculations show that the reactant five-coordinate complexes ([ML](2+)) exhibit structures that are slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries, while the six-coordinate complexes ([ML + CH(3)CN](2+)) have geometries that are close to octahedral. The Delta G values obtained from the ONIOM calculations roughly agree with the experimental data, but the calculations fail to completely explain the trends for the different metal complexes. The failure to consider all possible isomers as well as adequately represent pi-d interactions for the metal complexes is the likely cause of this discrepancy. Using the angular overlap model (AOM) to obtain molecular orbital stabilization energies (MOSE) also fails to reproduce the experimental trends when only sigma interactions are considered but succeeds in explaining the trends when pi interactions are taken into account. These results indicate that the pi-donor character of the CH(3)CN plays a subtle, yet important, role in controlling the reactivity of these five-coordinate complexes. Also, the AOM calculations are consistent with the experimental data when the [ML](2+) complexes have high-spin trigonal bipyramidal configurations. Generally, these results suggest that ion-molecule reactions can be very sensitive to metal complex coordination geometry and thus may have some promise for providing gas-phase coordination structure.     

Density functional study on electronic structures and reactivity in methyl‐substituted chelates used in organic light‐emitting diodes

The electronic structure and reactivity trends of a set of tris‐(n‐methyl‐8‐quinolinolato) metal (III) (n = 0, 3, 4, 5; metal = Al⁺³, Ga⁺³) used as electron‐transport layer in organic light‐emitting diodes were studied and compared. All geometries were optimized at B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) level of theory. The geometries of the ground state (S₀) of unsubstituted molecules AlQ3 and GaQ3 were found to be slightly affected by the methyl group, which is in agreement with previous works. Methyl‐derivatives conserve largely the electronic structures of AlQ3 and GaQ3. The energies of the frontier orbitals highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital are raised by the electron‐releasing effect of methyl group. Molecular orbital contribution analysis reveals that the orbital population is essentially the same for both MQ3 and their derivatives. Analyses of the ionization potential and electron affinity showed that MQ3 tend to be better hole‐blockers than methylated analogues and 5Me‐MQ3 have higher hole‐injection capability than the other methyl‐substituted derivatives. The global reactivity analysis showed that the electrophilicity index can be an indicator of electron‐injection capability in these complexes. Local reactivity analysis showed that atomic sites that are prone to nucleophilic/electrophilic attack are atoms C‐4 in L3/C‐5 in L1. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2010

A DFT Study on the Molecular Mechanism of Additions of Electrophilic and Nucleophilic Carbenes to Non-Enolizable Cycloaliphatic Thioketones

The molecular mechanisms of addition of dihalocarbenes and dimethoxycarbene to thioketones derived from 2,2,4,4-tetrmethylcyclobutane-1,3-dione were examined on the basis of the DFT wb97xd/6-311g(d,p)(PCM) calculations. Obtained results demonstrated that the examined processes exhibit polar nature and in the case of electrophilic dichloro-, and dibromocarbenes are initiated by the attack of carbene species onto the sulfur atom of the C=S group. Remarkably, reactions involving more electrophilic carbenes (dichloro-, and dibromocarbene) proceeds via stepwise mechanism involving thiocarbonyl ylide as a transient intermediate. In contrast, analogous reactions with nucleophilic dimethoxycarbene occur via a single step reaction, which can be considered as the [2 + 1] cycloaddition reaction initiated by the attack onto the C=S bond. A computational study showed that difluorocarbene tends to react as a nucleophilic species and resembles rather dimethoxycarbene and not typical dihalocarbene species. Significantly higher reactivity of the thioketone unit in comparison to the ketone group, both present in 3-thioxo-2,2,4,4-tetramthylcyclobutanone molecule, was rationalized in the light of DFT computational study.     

Interaction of alkyltin(IV) compounds with ligands of interest in the speciation of natural fluids: carboxylate and hydroxycarboxylate complexes of monomethyltin(IV) trichloride

The formation and stability of some carboxylate and hydroxycarboxylate (acetate, 1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylate, malate and citrate) complexes of monomethyltin trichloride was studied potentiometrically at 25 degrees C and at different ionic strengths in NaNO3 aqueous solution. The following quite stable species are formed in the different systems (M = CH3Sn3+): ML(OH)+, ML2(OH)0, ML(OH)2(0) and M2L(OH)5(0) for acetate; MLH+, ML0, ML(OH)- and ML(OH)2(2-) for propanetricarboxylate; MLH2+, MLH0, ML-, ML(OH)2- and ML(OH)2(3-) for butanetetracarboxylate; ML(OH)0, ML(OH)2- and ML(OH)3(2-) for malate; ML0, ML(OH)-, ML(OH)2(2-) and ML(OH)3(3-) for citrate. Hydroxycarboxylate complexes are significantly stronger than simple carboxylate ones and this is likely to be due to the interaction of the -OH group in citrate and malate with monomethyltin(IV), whose strength was also quantified. It was found that the stability of these complexes can be roughly expressed by the simple relationship log K = a zeta, where zeta is the product of the charges of reactants and log K is the equilibrium constant. For simple carboxylic ligands we have a = 1.8 +/- 0.4 and, for hydroxycarboxylic ligands, a = 3.7 +/- 0.9. Other useful empirical relationships are reported. Moreover, hydroxycarboxylic complexes also play a prominent role in the speciation of monomethyltin(IV) under the pH conditions of interest for natural fluids.     

Syntheses, electronic structures, and EPR/UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry of nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes with a tetradentate ligand based on S-methylisothiosemicarbazide

Template condensation of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde S-methylisothiosemicarbazone with pentane-2,4-dione and triethyl orthoformate at elevated temperatures resulted in metal complexes of the type M(II)L, where M = Ni and Cu and H(2)L = a novel tetradentate ligand. These complexes are relevant to the active site of the copper enzymes galactose oxidase and glyoxal oxidase. Demetalation of Ni(II)L with gaseous hydrogen chloride in chloroform afforded the metal-free ligand H(2)L. Then by the reaction of H(2)L with Zn(CH(3)COO)(2)·2H(2)O in a 1:1 molar ratio in 1:2 chloroform/methanol, the complex Zn(II)L(CH(3)OH) was prepared. The three metal complexes and the prepared ligand were characterized by spectroscopic methods (IR, UV-vis, and NMR spectroscopy), X-ray crystallography, and DFT calculations. Electrochemically generated one-electron oxidized metal complexes [NiL](+), [CuL](+), and [ZnL(CH(3)OH)](+) and the metal-free ligand cation radical [H(2)L](+?) were studied by EPR/UV-vis-NIR and DFT calculations. These studies demonstrated the interaction between the metal ion and the phenoxyl radical.     

Structure, spectroscopy, and reactivity properties of porphyrin pincers: a conceptual density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory study

Porphyrin and pincer complexes are both important categories of compounds in biological and catalytic systems. The idea to combine them is computationally investigated in this work. By employment of density functional theory (DFT), conceptual DFT, and time-dependent DFT approaches, structure, spectroscopy, and reactivity properties of porphyrin pincers are systematically studied for a selection of divalent metal ions. We found that the porphyrin pincers are structurally and spectroscopically different from their precursors and are more reactive in electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions. A few quantitative linear/exponential relationships have been discovered between bonding interactions, charge distributions, and DFT chemical reactivity indices. These results are implicative in chemical modification of hemoproteins and understanding chemical reactivity in heme-containing and other biologically important complexes and cofactors.     

Synthesis,characterization, density functional theory calculations,and in vitro antibacterial activity of novel transition metal complexes containing an O3-tridentate amoxicillin-based Schiff base: A silver(II) complex as alternative against Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to amoxicillin

Transition metal complexes containing an amoxicillin-based Schiff base (H₂L, 3 ) obtained from the condensation of amoxicillin 1 with salicylaldehyde 2 were prepared. Spectroscopic and physicochemical techniques, namely, UV–visible, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, ¹H NMR, electron paramagnetic resonance, transmission electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, together with elemental and thermal analyses were used to characterize the synthesized complexes. Based on these studies, the general formulae [ML(H₂O)₃], where M = Mn 4 , Ni 5 , Zn 6 , and [ML(H₂O)], where M = Cu 7 , Ag 8 , were proposed for the complexes. The amoxicillin-based Schiff base ligand behaved as a dianionic O₃-tridentate chelating agent. DFT studies and magnetic and spectral data revealed octahedral geometries for Mn, Ni, and Zn atoms and distorted tetrahedral geometries for Cu(II) and Ag(II) complexes. Synthesized compounds were tested for antibacterial activity by both agar disk diffusion method and the minimum inhibitory concentration. in vitro bacterial viability revealed that complex 5 had similar antibacterial activity as 1 against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, whereas Pseudomonas aeruginosa, resistant to amoxicillin, was sensitive to complex 8 . The antibacterial activity of complex 8 could be attributed to its greater catalytic activity as shown by DFT calculations. Toxicity bioassay of the tested compounds showed LC₅₀ values > 1000 ppm, indicating their nontoxicity against brine shrimp nauplii (Artemia salina).
