Quantum-chemical Investigation of the Hyprevalent Intramolecular Coordination X←N (X = C,Si, Ge) in Quasimonocyclic Models of IVa Group Atranes

The structure and the pentacoordination effect in quasimonocyclic models of IVa group atranes were investigated by ab initio[MP2 (full) /6-311+G **] and the density functional [B3LYP/6-311+G **] quantum chemical calculations. The calculations revealed considerable stabilization of the quasimonocyclic conformations relative to their free-of-strain trans-s-transconformations, which is caused by the formation of secondary (R)XN (X=C, Si, Ge) bonds of the hypervalent type. The strength of the intramolecular (R)XN coordination increases in the order X=C, Si, Ge. The nature of attractive (R)XN coordination is determined by donor-acceptor interaction of the nitrogen lone electron pair and antibonding orbital which primary localize at the X-R bond. Energy of X ··· N (X=Si, Ge) contact is about 3-7 kcal mol^-1.     

Intramolecular Hypervalent X←X Interaction in Heteropentalene Compounds Containing S and O Atoms

Chalcogen-containing heteropentalene and quasimonocyclic compounds having O–O–O and S–S–S triads or O–O and S–S diads were studied by the ab initio [MP2(full)/6-31G** and MP2(fc)/ 6-31+G**] and DFT (B3LYP/6-31G**) methods. The oxygen-containing compounds are characterized by strong O···O repulsion which destabilize the pentalene structure. The molecule of 3-thioxo-1-propenesulfenyl fluoride, in contrast to 3-mercapto-2-propenethial, is more stable in the cis-s-cis conformation with an appreciably shortened S–S contact [2.274 Å (MP2), 2.503 Å (B3LYP)] which approaches the length of a standard S–S covalent bond.     

Intramolecular Hypervalent X←X Interaction in Mono- and Bicyclic Heteroelement Compounds Containing Se and Te Atoms

Chalcogen-containing heterapentalene and quasimonocyclic compounds having SeÄSeÄSe and TeÄTeÄTe triads or SeÄSe and TeÄTe diads were studied by the ab initio [MP2(full)/6-31G**, MP2(fc)/6-31+G**, and MP2(fc)/LANL2DZ] and DFT methods (B3LYP/6-31G^**, B3LYP/6-31+G^**, and B3LYP/LANL2DZ). Heterapentalene compounds were found to be stable as planar bicyclic structures having a C _2v symmetry. The stability of quasimonocycic -chalcogenovinyl aldehydes increases with increase in the electron-acceptor power of the substituent at the X atom.     

The IX (X=O,N,C) Double Bond in Hypervalent Iodine Compounds: Is it Real?

I X (X=O, N, C) bonding was analyzed in the related hypervalent iodine compounds based on the adaptive natural density partitioning (AdNDP) approach. The results confirm the presence of a I→X σ dative bond, as opposed to the widely used IX notation. A clear formulation of the electronic structure of these hypervalent iodine compounds would be useful in establishing reaction mechanisms and electronic structures in bioinorganic problems of general applicability.

Ruthenium Catalyzed Intramolecular C−X (X=C,N, O,S) Bond Formation via C−H Functionalization: An Overview

Ruthenium catalyzed C−H activation is well known for its high tolerance towards the functional group and broad applicability in organic synthesis and molecular sciences, with significant applications in pharmaceutical industries, material sciences, and polymer industry. In the last few decades, enormous progress has been observed with ruthenium-catalyzed C−H activation chemistry. Notably, the vast majority of the C−H functionalization known in the literature are intermolecular, although the intramolecular variant provides fascinating new structural facet starting from the simple molecular scaffolds. Intramolecular C−H functionalization is atom economical and step efficient, results in less formation of undesired products which is easy to purify. This has created a lot of interest in organic chemistry in developing new synthetic strategies for such functionalization. The focus of this review is to present the relatively unexplored intramolecular functionalization of C−H bonds into C−X (X=C, N, O, S) bonds utilizing versatile ruthenium catalysts, their scope, and brief mechanistic discussion.

Intramolecular Y←O (Y = N,P, As,Sb, Bi) coordination in organopnictogen compounds: an ab initio and DFT study

The molecular structure and rearrangements of -pnictogenovinylaldehydes and 1,6-dioxa-6a⁵-pnictapentalenes (Pn = N, P, As, Sb, and Bi) were studied using the ab initio and DFT approach. According to calculations, the quasi-cyclic conformation of -pnictogenovinylaldehyde molecules is much more stable than their free of strain, trans-s-trans conformation. This stabilization is achieved due to the formation of a rather strong secondary PnO bond of the hypervalent type. Bicyclic structures of 1,6-dioxa-6a⁵-pnictapentalenes (Y = P, As) with the three-center, four-electron hypervalent O—Y—O bonds are more energetically favorable than isomeric sterically unstrained monocyclic structures. The strength of the intramolecular coordination bonds (R)YO in -pnictogenovinylaldehydes and of the hypervalent bonds O—Y(R)—O in 1,6-dioxa-6a⁵-pnictapentalenes increases in the order Y = N, P, As, Sb, and Bi and with an increase in the electronegativity of the substituent R = H, Cl, and F. In contrast to their chalcogen-containing analogs, the above-mentioned quasi-cyclic and bicyclic structures of organopnictogen compounds possess low aromatic character.     

Ylenes in the M(II)→Si(IV) (M=Si, Ge, Sn) coordination mode

The reaction of the methimazolyl (mt, i.e., 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazolide) substituted silane Si(mt)(4) with SnCl(2) and GeCl(2) in dioxane affords the paddlewheel-shaped complexes [ClSi(μ-mt)(4)MCl] (M=Sn (1) and Ge (2), respectively). These compounds represent the first crystallographically characterized hexacoordinate silicon complexes comprising a Sn or Ge atom in the Si coordination sphere. An attempt to synthesize the related silicon compound 3 [ClSi(μ-mt)(4)SiCl] instead afforded the trisilane [ClSi(μ-mt)(4)Si-SiCl(3)] (3a), which provides the first crystallographic evidence for the feasibility of oligosilanes with adjacent hexacoordinate Si atoms. One of the hexacoordinate Si atoms of 3a features the unprecedented (Si(2)S(4))Si skeleton. Natural bonding orbital (NBO) analyses of compounds 1, 2, 3a (and the target compound 3) revealed characteristics of M(II)→Si(IV) (for 2 and 3) or M(I)→Si(IV) (for 3a) dative bonding in the systems with M=Si and Ge, whereas compound 1 exhibits a covalent Sn(III)-Si(III) bond.

NbX(X=C,N,O)的能带结构研究

本文采用EHT近似下的紧束缚能带方法,计算了NbX(X=C,N,O)的能带结构。结果表明,它们的能带结构相近,Nb—X间存在较强的成键作用,传导电子主要具有Nb的4d特征,Nb—Nb键与超导电性相关,从C到N,Nb—Nb键共价性削弱,Tc提高。尽管计算所得NbO中Nb—Nb键强度介于NbC和NbN之间,但其实际Tc却比NbC和NbN的都低,这是NbO的空位效应所致,这一结果可从我们对有序缺陷的Nb_(0.75)O_(0.75)晶体能带结构的计算得到验证。     

Theoretical studies on the band structures of superconducting solid compounds: Nb3X (X=Si, Ge, Sn, Pb)

The band structures of several analogous superconducting A-15 type solid compounds, Nb3X (X=Si, Ge, Sn, Pb), have been calculated by use of the tight-binding method within the Extended Huckel approximation (EHT). By analysis of their energy bands, densities of states and crystal orbital overlap populations, the dependence of the superconducting transition temperatures (Tc) on the electronic structures and bondings is qualitatively elucidated.     

The MNDO study of the potential energy surface for 1,5-H-migration in the radicals ĊCl2(CH2)2X(Me)2Et (X = C,Si, Ge)

The optimal geometries of the radicals Cl₂(CH₂)₂X(Me)₂Et [R¹(X)] and CHCl₂(CH₂)₂XMe₂CHMe [R²(X)] (X = C, Si, Ge) and the transition state structures for 1,5-hydrogen migration in the radical R¹(X) (R¹(X) R²(X)) are determined by use of the MNDO method with unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation. It is found that the activation energies of these reactions increase on going from C to Si by 1.40 kcal/mole and decrease on going from Si to Ge by 0.56 kcal/mole.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No 1, pp. 98–100, January, 1993.     

X-H (X = C, N, O, Si, P, S) 键离解能计算的密度泛函方法研究

使用了不同密度泛函方法计算X-H (X = C, N, O, Si, P, S) 键离解能，并分析不同密度泛函方法的计算精度。研究发现大多数密度泛函方法包括B3LYP, B3P86, B3PW91, G96LYP, PBE1PBE，和BH&HLYP都明显低估键离解能13-25 kJ/mol。该现象与是否使用无限基组无关，因为即使使用无限基组键离解能仍然被低估。因此密度泛函方法不适合用于键离解能的估算。其中B3P86方法的偏差最小。进一步分析表明，使用限制性开壳层计算并无任何优势，在大多数情况下非限制性开壳层计算实际上比限制性开壳层计算要好。最后，我们发现了密度泛函方法对键离解能的低估是系统的，因此建议利用校准后的UDFT/6-311++G(d, p)方法计算化学键离解能。     

Diverse Reactivity of bis(Silylene) and bis(Germylene) [LE−EL (E=Si and Ge: L=PhC(NtBu)2)] in the Oxidative Activation of C−F Bond: Si−Si Bond is Retained While the Ge−Ge Bond Is Cleaved

Herein we report the reactions of 3,4,5,6-tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile ( 1 ) with bis(silylene) and bis(germylene) LE−EL [E=Si ( 2 ) and Ge( 3 ): L=PhC(N^tBu)₂)]. The reaction of LSi−SiL (L=PhC(N^tBu)₂) ( 2 ) with two equivalents of 1 resulted in an unprecedented oxidative addition of a C−F bond of 1 leading to disilicon(III) fluoride {L(4-C₈F₃N)FSi−SiF(4-C₈F₃N)L}( 4 ), wherein the Si−Si single bond was retained. In contrast, the reaction of LGe−GeL (L=PhC(N^tBu)₂) ( 3 ) with one equivalent of 1 resulted in the oxidative cleavage of Ge−Ge bond leading to L(4-C₈F₃N₂)Ge ( 5 ) and LGeF ( 6 ). All three compounds ( 4 – 6 ) were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, EI-MS spectrometry, and elemental analysis. X-ray single-crystal structure determination of compound 4 unequivocally established that the Si^III−Si^III bond remains uncleaved.
