Na,Ba∥F,Br three-component reciprocal system and analysis of the Na,Ba∥F,Hal (Hal=Cl, Br, and I) series

A set of isopleths was studied using differential thermal analysis (DTA), the liquidus surface projection on the concentration square was plotted, and parameters were determined for the alloys corresponding to two ternary eutectics and one peritectic of the Na,Ba∥F,Br three-component reciprocal system. Solid-phase reactions in a sample containing 66.7% BaBr2+33.3% (NaF) ₂ were also studied by DTA. The results were used to analyze the entire series of the Na,Ba∥F,Hal (Hal = Cl, Br, and I) systems.     

C-X···π halogen and C-H···π hydrogen bonding: interactions of CF3X (X = Cl, Br, I or H) with ethene and propene

Using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, the formation of halogen bonded complexes of the trifluorohalomethanes CF(3)Cl, CF(3)Br and CF(3)I with ethene and propene dissolved in liquid argon has been investigated. For CF(3)Br and CF(3)I, evidence was found for the formation of C-X···π halogen bonded 1:1 complexes. At a higher ratio of CF(3)I/propene, weak absorptions due to a 2:1 complex were also observed. Using spectra recorded at different temperatures, the complexation enthalpies for the complexes were determined to be -5.3(2) kJ mol(-1) for CF(3)Br·ethene, -7.5(2) kJ mol(-1) for CF(3)I·ethene, -5.6(1) kJ mol(-1) for CF(3)Br·propene, -8.8(1) kJ mol(-1) for CF(3)I·propene and -16.5(6) kJ mol(-1) for (CF(3)I·)(2)propene. The complexation enthalpies of the hydrogen bonded counterparts, with CF(3)H as the Lewis acid, were determined to be -4.6(4) kJ mol(-1) for CF(3)H·ethene and -5.1(2) kJ mol(-1) for CF(3)H·propene. For both hydrogen bonded complexes, a blue shift, by +4.8 and +4.0 cm(-1), respectively, was observed for the C-H stretching mode. The results from the cryospectroscopic study are compared with ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ(-PP) level.     

Assessment of the intramolecular C–H⋯X (X=F,Cl, Br) hydrogen bonding of 1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazoles

The intramolecular six-membered C–H?X (X=F, Cl, Br) hydrogen bonding motif of halogen-substituted 1,4-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole compounds has been assessed. Twelve triazole derivatives have been designed and prepared, which bear fluorine, chlorine or bromine atoms on the ortho- and/or para-positions of the benzene rings. ¹H NMR, X-ray crystallography, and DFT calculation investigations revealed that the ortho-fluorine, chlorine, and bromine atoms of the benzene ring on the C-4 of the triazole unit all can form six-membered C–H?X hydrogen bonding. In contrast, only fluorine forms similar, relatively stable intramolecular hydrogen bonding on the N-1 side of the triazole unit.     

N-H…X (X = F, Cl, Br, and I) hydrogen bonding in aromatic amide derivatives in crystal structures

Intramolecular N H···X (X=F, Cl, Br, and Ⅰ) hydrogen bonding patterns of aromatic amides in the solid state are summarized. It is revealed that the key for the formation of this kind of weak intramolecular hydrogen bonding in X-ray crystal structures is to suppress the competition of strong intermolecular N H···O C hydrogen bonding of the amide unit. For amides with identical backbones, the bonding capacity of halogen atoms as hydrogen bonding acceptors is in the order of F>Cl>Br>I, which is in accordance with their electronegativity strength. Generally, the five-membered hydrogen bonding is easier to form than the six-membered one.     

Vibrational properties of PbCO3 · PbX2 (X = Cl,Br)

The i.r. and Raman spectra of PbX₂ · PbCO₃ (X = Cl, Br) have been recorded. The symmetry of the Raman peaks have been assigned on the basis of the data collected on a natural single crystal of phosgenite (X = Cl). The factor group and site group analysis has been discussed in relation to the experimental data.     

Complexes of group IIb metals with dithio oxamides—II. Vibrational analysis of ZnLX2(X = Cl,Br, I) complexes

With dithiooxamides, Zn(II) in acid media forms distorted tetrahedral complexes, which behave as non-electrolytes. The ligands act as bidentates with S, S coordination.A thorough vibrational analysis has been performed for the Zn(CH₃ NHCSCSNHCH₃)X₂(X = Cl, Br, I) and for the Zn[(CH₃)₂NCSCSN(CH₃)₂]X₂(X = Cl, Br, I) complexes.     

Coupled cluster,MP2, and DFT study of structures,stabilities, vibrations,and bonding properties of XXeOH (X = F,Cl, Br,and I)

The optimized geometries, molecular properties, and stabilities of new noble gas molecules, XXeOH (X = F, Cl, Br, and I), were studied using CCSD, MP2, CAM-B3LYP, and WB97XD methods and large basis sets. All XXeOH molecules showed equilibrium structures with Cs symmetry. The results also showed that some bonds in XXeOH could be presented as a typical ionic bond. An alteration in ion-pair character was observed for IXeOH, showing two OH ^? and IXe ⁺ parts, while in other molecules, they could be presented as XeOH ⁺ and X ^? . Two decomposition routes were proposed for these molecules that showed high exothermic reactions. However, despite their low thermodynamic stabilities, their decomposition rate constants were small and all molecules (except BrXeOH) had high kinetic stabilities, indicating the possibility for identification and characterization of these molecules. However, in addition to the calculation of their vibrational frequencies, NBO atomic charges, and hybridizations, the bonding properties of XXeOH molecules were studied by AIM calculations (to calculate electron densities, bond elipticities, and Laplacian of electron densities) and second-order intramolecular perturbation energies using NBO calculations. Moreover, the ease of formations and relative stabilities of XXeOH molecules were compared using heats of formations, Gibbs free energies of formations and isodesmic reactions. These calculations showed that the stability of XXeOH molecules was decreased from F to I.     

Pressure-induced formation of molecular B2X4(μ-X)2 (X = Cl, Br, I) species

Boron(III) halides (BX(3), where X = F, Cl, Br, I) at ambient pressure conditions exist as strictly monomeric, trigonal-planar molecules. Using correlated ab initio calculations, the three heavier halides (X = Cl, Br, I) are shown to possess B(2)X(4)(μ-X)(2) local minima, isostructural with the diborane molecule. The calculated dissociation barrier of the B(2)I(4)(μ-I)(2) species [≈14 kJ/mol with CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ] may be high enough to allow cryogenic isolation. The remaining dimer structures are more labile, with dissociation barriers of less than 6 kJ/mol. All three dimer species may be stabilized by application of external pressure. Periodic density functional theory calculations predict a new dimer-based P1 solid, which becomes more stable than the P6(3)/m monomer-derived solids at 5 (X = I) to 15 (X = Cl) GPa. Metadynamics simulations suggest that B(2)X(4)(μ-X)(2)-based solids are the kinetically preferred product of pressurization of the P6(3)/m solid.     

A MNDO approach to the elementary reactions of atomic hydrogen with monosubstituted halomethanes (CH3X,X  Cl,Br, I)

The reactions of atomic hydrogen with monosubstituted halomethanes (CH₃X, X  Cl, Br, I) have been studied using the MNDO semi-empirical SCF MO method. Calculations with F were not successful, giving anomalous Arrhenius kinetic parameters. All four reactions with breaking of only one chemical bond were investigated in order to locate their transition states. Activation energies and frequency factors were determined within the transition state theory (TST) framework and compared with available experimental data. The values of the MNDO TST classical kinetic parameters show that halogen and hydrogen abstraction reactions are much more important than the substitution reactions at thermal energies, the halogen abstraction being the most favoured in this energy range. Analysis of the results shows a clear increase in reactivity going from Cl to I in the halogen abstraction reaction, in good agreement with experiment. In general, the results obtained are consistent with the available experimental evidence.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of π complexes of copper(I) halides with diallyl disulfide 2CuX · DADS (X = Cl, Br; DADS = CH2=CH-CH2-S-S-CH2-CH=CH2)

Compounds 2CuCl · DADS (I) and 2CuBr · DADS (II) (DADS is diallyl disulfide) are prepared by the ac electrochemical synthesis, and their crystal structures are determined. The complexes are isostructural, space group P2₁/n, Z = 4; I: a = 8.995(2) Å, b = 12.541(2) Å, c = 9.644(2) Å, β = 98.74(2)°, V = 1075.3(4) ų, II: a = 9.064(2), b = 12.878(3), c = 9.832(2) Å, β = 98.61(3)°, V = 1134.7(4) ų. In complexes I and II, the tetradentate DADS ligand is chelate-bridging and is coordinated by two crystallographically independent copper atoms of two inorganic Cu₄X₄ fragments. An insignificantly distorted tetrahedral environment of each of the two copper atoms consists of the olefin group, sulfur atom, and two halogen atoms. The complexes are stabilized additionally by the formation of C-H?S hydrogen bonds involved in characteristic seven-membered rings in the structures.     

Structures and bonding situation of Pb2X2 (X?=?H, F, Cl, Br and I)

Quantum chemical calculations using DFT (BP86) and ab initio methods (MP2, MP4 and CCSD(T)) have been carried out for the title compounds. The nature of the Pb?CPb interactions has been investigated with an energy decomposition analysis. The energy minimum structures of the halogen substituted Pb₂X₂ molecules possess a doubly bridged butterfly geometry A like the parent system Pb₂H₂. The unusual geometry can be explained with the interactions between PbX fragments in the X ²?? ground state which leads to one Pb?CPb electron-sharing ?? bond and two donor?Cacceptor bonds between the Pb?CX bonds as donor and vacant p(??) AOs of Pb. The energy difference between the equilibrium form A and the linear structure XPb??PbX (E) which is a second-order saddle point is much higher when X is a halogen atom than for X?=?H. This is because the a ⁴??^?????X ²?? excitation energies of PbX (X?=?F?CI) are higher than for PbH. The structural isomers B, D1, D2, E, F1, F2 and G of Pb₂X₂ are no minima on the potential energy surface.     

The isolation and characterization of the first examples of pairs of α- and β-isomers of dirhenium(II) of type Re2X4(LL)2 (X = Cl or Br,LL = bidentate phosphine ligand)

The complexes Re₂Br₄(depe)₂ and Re₂X₄(dppee)₂ (X = Cl or Br, depe = Et₂PCH₂CH₂PEt₂, dppee = cis-Ph₂PCHCHPPh₂) have been prepared in their α- (eclipsed rotational geometry, chelating phosphine ligands) and β- (staggered rotational geometry, bridging phosphine ligands) isomeric forms. The chloro complex β-Re₂Cl₄(depe)₂ has also been isolated. In the case of α- and β- Re₂Br₄(depe)₂, the preparations involve the reactions of Re₂Br₄(P-n-Pr₃)₄ with depe in toluene-ethanol. While α-Re₂X₄(dppee)₂ are prepared from the reactions of (n-Bu₄N)₂Re₂X₈ with dppee in various solvents, the β-isomers are obtained upon reacting Re₂X₄(PR₃)₄ (R = Et or n-Pr) with dppee in benzene. These are the first examples of triply bonded dirhenium(II) complexes that have been isolated in both their α- and β-forms. β-Re₂X₄(dppee)₂ (X = Cl or Br) constitute the first examples of complexes of this structural type which contain both CC and MM units within the same fused decalin-like ring system. The isomers β-Re₂Cl₄(depe)₂ and β-Re₂X₄(dppee)₂ (X = Cl or Br) are oxidized by NOPF₆ in acetonitrile to give paramagnetic β-[Re₂Cl₄(depe)₂]PF₆ and β-[Re₂X₄(dppee)₂]PF₆. These oxidized complexes in turn react with CH₃CN in the presence of T1PF₆ to afford β-[Re₂Cl₃(depe)₂(NCMe)](PF₆)₂ and β-[Re₂X₃(dppee)₂(NCMe)](PF₆)₂, respectively. The cleavage of the ReRe bonds of α- and β-Re₂Cl₄(dppee)₂ occurs upon their reaction with CCl₄-CH₂Cl₂ to give cis-ReCl₄(dppee). The related bromo complex cis-ReBr₄(dppee) is formed when β-Re₂Br₄(dppee)₂ is reacted with CH₂Cl₂-Br₂.

The first C(O)NHP(O)-based phosphoric triamide structure with an N‒H···π hydrogen bonding: A combination of X-ray crystallography and theoretical study to evaluate the strength of hydrogen bonds

The hydrogen bond pattern of N-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-N′,N″-bis(4-methylbenzyl)-phosphoric triamide, C₂₄H₂₈N₃O₃P, (I), was investigated. In the crystal structure, the molecules are aggregated through N_CP―H···O═P and N_P―H···O═C hydrogen bonds in a one-dimensional arrangement parallel to the c axis (N_CP is the nitrogen atom in the C(O)NHP(O) segment and N_P stands for the two other nitrogen atoms bonded to the P atom). There is also a novel N_P?H···π hydrogen bond in the crystal which extends the aggregation of the molecules to a two-dimensional array parallel to the bc plane. A Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, version 5.37, Feb 2016) analysis shows that the N―H···π hydrogen bond was not observed in any of 156 [RC(O)NH]P(O)[NR¹R² Allen, F. H.; Taylor, R. Chem. Soc. Rev. 2004, 33, 463-475.[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]₂ (R¹ ≠ H, R² = H or ≠ H) phosphoric triamide structures reported so far. The theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G^** level of theory (DFT, AIM, and NBO) were performed to evaluate the strengths of N_CP―H···O═P, N_P―H···O═C and N_P―H···π hydrogen bonds, considering two-aggregate molecular assemblies containing these hydrogen bonds. The calculations on the title compound suggest that the intermolecular N_CP―H···O═P hydrogen bond is stronger than N_P―H···O═C and N_P―H···π interactions. The hydrogen bond strength was investigated by NBO, topological analysis, geometry calculation, Hirshfeld surface analysis and experimental spectroscopic results, which are in agreement with each other.     

The HOX⋯SO2 (X=F,Cl, Br,I) Binary Complexes: Implications for Atmospheric Chemistry

Sulfur dioxide and hypohalous acids (HOX, X=F, Cl, Br, I) are ubiquitous molecules in the atmosphere that are central to important processes like seasonal ozone depletion, acid rain, and cloud nucleation. We present the first theoretical examination of the HOX⋯SO₂ binary complexes and the associated trends due to halogen substitution. Reliable geometries were optimized at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV(T+d)Z level of theory for HOF and HOCl complexes. The HOBr and HOI complexes were optimized at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV(D+d)Z level of theory with the exception of the Br and I atoms which were modeled with an aug-cc-pwCVDZ-PP pseudopotential. 27 HOX⋯SO₂ complexes were characterized and the focal point method was employed to produce CCSDT(Q)/CBS interaction energies. Natural Bond Orbital analysis and Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory were used to classify the nature of each principle interaction. The interaction energies of all HOX⋯SO₂ complexes in this study ranged from 1.35 to 3.81 kcal mol⁻¹. The single-interaction hydrogen bonded complexes spanned a range of 2.62 to 3.07 kcal mol⁻¹, while the single-interaction halogen bonded complexes were far more sensitive to halogen substitution ranging from 1.35 to 3.06 kcal mol⁻¹, indicating that the two types of interactions are extremely competitive for heavier halogens. Our results provide insight into the interactions between HOX and SO₂ which may guide further research of related systems.     

Vibrational study of diphenylphosphorus halides Ph2PX (X  Cl,Br, I)

The Raman and i.r. spectra of diphenylphosphorus halides, Ph₂PX (X  Cl, Br, I), have been measured and concerted assignments have been made confirmed by an approximate normal coordinate analysis for the skeletal vibrations of Ph₂PCl using a three mass model for the phenyl group.     

Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Structures of X−⋅⋅⋅CH2O (X=F,Cl, Br,I) Complexes

A combined experimental and theoretical approach has been used to investigate X⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O (X=F, Cl, Br, I) complexes in the gas phase. Photoelectron spectroscopy, in tandem with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, has been used to determine electron binding energies for the Cl⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O, Br⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O, and I⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O species. Additionally, high-level CCSD(T) calculations found a C_2v minimum for these three anion complexes, with predicted electron detachment energies in excellent agreement with the experimental photoelectron spectra. F⁻⋅⋅⋅CH₂O was also studied theoretically, with a C_s hydrogen-bonded complex found to be the global minimum. Calculations extended to neutral X⋅⋅⋅CH₂O complexes, with the results of potential interest to atmospheric CH₂O chemistry.     

Polymorphs and aurophilic interactions in colorless crystals of Au2(μ-1,2 bis-(diphenylarsino)ethane)X2, (X = Cl, Br, I)

Solutions containing the components Au(+), dpae (dpae is 1,2 bis-(diphenylarsino)ethane), and X(-) (X is Cl, Br, or I) can produce two different types of crystals with the composition Au(2)(μ-dpae)X(2): colorless blocks and colorless needles. Crystallographic studies of these crystals show that they are polymorphs with different structural motifs. In the α-polymorphs, which are isostructural, individual molecules of Au(2)(μ-dpae)X(2) form discrete dimers through two identical Au···Au contacts. In the β-polymorphs, which each have unique crystallographic parameters, the Au(2)(μ-dpae)X(2) molecules assemble into polymeric chains through aurophilic interactions. The Au···Au contacts in the α-polymorph (3.1163(2), 3.1064(3), and 3.0842(2) ? for Cl, Br, I, respectively) are somewhat shorter than those in the β-polymorph (3.1668(3), 3.1042(8), and 3.1046(2) for Cl, Br, I respectively). The systematic study we now report shows an increase in the strength of this aurophilic interaction for the α-form in the series X = Cl < Br < I, which is in good agreement with theoretical studies by Pyykk? and his co-workers.     

Synthesis of the iridacarborane halide complexes [(η-9-SMe2-7,8-C2B9H10)IrX2]2 (X = Cl,Br, or I)

The reaction of Na[9-SMe₂-7,8-C₂B₉H₁₀] with [(Cod)IrCl]₂ (Cod is cycloocta-1,5-diene) gave rise to the iridium complex (-9-SMe₂-7,8-C₂B₉H₁₀)Ir(Cod). Treatment of the latter with anhydrous acids HX (X = Cl, Br, or I) afforded the corresponding iridacarborane halide complexes [(-9-SMe₂-7,8-C₂B₉H₁₀)IrX₂]₂ analogous to the cyclopentadienyl complexes [(C₅Me₅)IrX₂]₂.
