Quasi-relativistic density functional study of aurophilic interactions

Fifteen molecules containing the Au(I) species have been calculated by ab initio HF and MP2 methods and by five different density functional approaches. The aurophilic Au(d10)-Au(d10) bonding mechanism has been investigated. Both, one-electron interactions (i.e., electrostatic, polarization, charge transfer, and orbital interference) and two-electron effects (i.e., correlation, dispersion) contribute significantly to the so-called 'secondary' or metallophilic bonds representing the Au-Au interaction. Second, the applicability of density functional approaches to this type of bonding has been tested. It is well-known that present day density functionals are not yet designed to simulate the long-range London dispersion forces between nonoverlapping systems, whereas they approximately reproduce the short range dynamical electron correlations of strongly overlapping chemically bonded nondegenerate species. It is found here empirically for the investigated groups of gold(I) cluster compounds that simple local density functionals (LDF) of the Slater (or Slater plus Vosko) type yield rather reasonable estimates for the equilibrium distances, and (on the average) also for the aurophilic interaction energies, though with rather large standard deviations. Still LDF are useful for survey investigations of Au cluster compounds. Common gradient corrected DF are not recommended here, nor are the large core pseudopotentials for Au.

Complexes of DNA bases and Watson-Crick base pairs with small neutral gold clusters

The nature of the DNA-gold interaction determines and differentiates the affinity of the nucleobases (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine) to gold. Our preliminary computational study [Kryachko, E. S.; Remacle, F. Nano Lett. 2005, 5, 735] demonstrates that two major bonding factors govern this interaction: the anchoring, either of the Au-N or Au-O type, and the nonconventional N-H...Au hydrogen bonding. In this paper, we offer insight into the nature of nucleobase-gold interactions and provide a detailed characterization of their different facets, i.e., geometrical, energetic, and spectroscopic aspects; the gold cluster size and gold coordination effects; proton affinity; and deprotonation energy. We then investigate how the Watson-Crick DNA pairing patterns are modulated by the nucleobase-gold interaction. We do so in terms of the proton affinities and deprotonation energies of those proton acceptors and proton donors which are involved in the interbase hydrogen bondings. A variety of properties of the most stable Watson-Crick [A x T]-Au3 and [G x C]-Au3 hybridized complexes are described and compared with the isolated Watson-Crick A x T and G x C ones. It is shown that enlarging the gold cluster size to Au6 results in a rather short gold-gold bond in the Watson-Crick interbase region of the [G x C]-Au6 complex that bridges the G x C pair and thus leads to a significant strengthening of G x C pairing.     

MP2 study on adsorption of hydrated Na+ and Au+ cations on the Au(111) surface

The interactions of Na+ and Au+ cations with an Au(111) surface in the presence and absence of water molecules were investigated using Au18 and Au22 cluster models and the MP2 method with a triple-zeta valence basis set. The interactions between Na+ ions and the Au(111) surface were found to be primarily electrostatic, contrary to the much stronger Au+-Au(111) interactions that were dominated by orbital contributions. The largest CP-corrected MP2 adsorption energies were -156.9 kJ/mol for Na+ and -478.7 kJ/mol for Au+. When hydrated, Na+ prefers to be completely surrounded by water molecules rather than adsorbed to the surface, whereas Au+ remains adsorbed to the surface as water molecules bond with each other and with the Au surface. CP correction did not change the relative adsorption energy trends of Na+ or Au+ ions, but it had an effect on the interaction energy trends of the hydrated cations because of the weak water-surface and water-water interactions.     

Heterovalent Au(III)-M(I) (M=Cu, Ag, Au) complexes derived from incorporation of [Au(tdt)2]- (tdt = toluene-3,4-dithiolate) with [M2(dppm)2]2+ (dppm = Bis(diphenylphosphino)methane)

Polynuclear heterovalent Au(III)-M(I) (M = Cu, Ag, Au) cluster complexes [Au(III)Cu(I)8(mu-dppm)3(tdt)5]+ (1), [Au(III)3Ag(I)8(mu-dppm)4(tdt)8]+ (2), and [Au(III)Au(I)4(mu-dppm)4(tdt)2]3+ (3) were prepared by reaction of [Au(III)(tdt)2]- (tdt = toluene-3,4-dithiolate) with 2 equiv of [M(I)2(dppm)2]2+ (dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane). Complex 3 originates from incorporation of one [Au(III)(tdt)2]- with two [Au(I)2(dppm)2]2+ components through Au(III)-S-Au(I) linkages. Formation of complexes 1 and 2, however, involves rupture of metal-ligand bonds in the metal components and recombination between the ligands and the metal atoms. The Au(tdt)2 component connects to four M(I) atoms through Au(III)-S-M(I) linkages in syn and anti conformations in complexes 1 (M = Cu) and 3 (M = Au), respectively, but in both syn and anti conformations in complex 2 (M = Ag). The tdt ligand exhibits five types of bonding modes in complexes 1-3, chelating Au(III) or M(I) atoms as well as bridging Au(III)-M(I) or M(I)-M(I) atoms in different orientations. Although complexes 1 and 2 are nonemissive, Au(III)Au(I)(4) complex 3 shows room-temperature luminescence with emission maximum at 555 nm (tau(em) = 3.1 micros) in the solid state and at 570 nm (tau(em) = 1.5 micros) in acetonitrile solution.     

Metal-metal interactions in heterobimetallic d8-d10 complexes. Structures and spectroscopic investigation of [M'M' '(mu-dcpm)2(CN)2]+ (M' = Pt,Pd; M' ' = Cu,Ag, Au) and related complexes by UV-vis absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy and ab initio calculations

X-ray structural and spectroscopic properties of a series of heterodinuclear d(8)-d(10) metal complexes [M'M' '(mu-dcpm)(2)(CN)(2)](+) containing d(8) Pt(II), Pd(II), or Ni(II) and d(10) Au(I), Ag(I), or Cu(I) ions with a dcpm bridging ligand have been studied (dcpm = bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane; M' = Pt, M' ' = Au 4, Ag 5, Cu, 6; M' ' = Au, M' = Pd 7, Ni 8). X-ray crystal analyses showed that the metal...metal distances in these heteronuclear metal complexes are shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii of the M' and M' ' atoms. The UV-vis absorption spectra of 4-6 display red-shifted intense absorption bands from the absorption spectra of the mononuclear trans-[Pt(phosphine)(2)(CN)(2)] and [M' '(phosphine)(2)](+) counterparts, attributable to metal-metal interactions. The resonance Raman spectra confirmed assignments of (1)[nd(sigma)-->(n + 1)p(sigma)] electronic transitions to the absorption bands at 317 and 331 nm in 4 and 6, respectively. The results of theoretical calculations at the MP2 level reveal an attractive interaction energy curve for the skewed [trans-Pt(PH(3))(2)(CN)(2)-Au(PH(3))(2)(+)] dimer. The interaction energy of Pt(II)-Au(I) was calculated to be ca. 0.45 ev.

Do aurophilic interactions compete against hydrogen bonds? Experimental evidence and rationalization based on ab initio calculations

[M(C6F5)(N(H)=CPh2)] (M = Ag (1) and Au (2)) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 1 shows a ladder-type structure in which two [Ag(C6F5)(N(H)=CPh2)] units are linked by a Ag(I)-Ag(I) interaction in an antiparallel disposition. The dimeric units are associated through hydrogen bonds of the type N-H...F(ortho). On the other hand, gold(I) complex 2 displays discrete dimers also in an antiparallel conformation in which both Au(I)-Au(I) interactions and N-H.F(ortho) hydrogen bonds appear within the dimeric units. The features of these coexisting interactions have been theoretically studied by ab initio calculations based on four different model systems in order to analyze them separately. The interactions have been analyzed at HF and MP2 levels of theory showing that, in this case, even at larger distances. The Au(I)-Au(I) interaction is stronger than Ag(I)-Ag(I) and that N-H.F hydrogen bonding and Au(I)-Au(I) contacts have a similar strength in the same molecule, which permits a competition between these two structural motifs giving rise to different structural arrangements.
