采用密度泛函理论方法,在TZ2P-STO基组水平下,对金属四重键化合物M2Cl4(PMe3)4(M=Cr,Mo,W)和Mo2X4(PMe3)4(X=F,Cl,Br,I)的几何结构进行优化,分析了电子结构,并运用TDDFT方法对其低占据激发态进行了计算.考虑相对论效应的ZORA方法能够较好地重现M2X4(PMe3)4的几何结构.M2X4(PMe3)4的电子结构分析表明其d电子的组态为σ2π4δ2,前线轨道能级顺序为πlig<πd/σd<δd<δd*.金属原子和卤素配体的改变虽然使轨道能量发生变化,但没有影响轨道的排布顺序.TDDFT方法对M2X4(PMe3)4δd→δd*和πd→δd*跃迁能量的计算较为准确,对πlig→δd*(LMCT)跃迁能量的计算误差较大.金属原子、卤素配体以及相对论效应对激发能的影响可以根据分子轨道能级的变化给予解释.

Competition between chalcogen bond and halogen bond interactions in YOX<Subscript>4</Subscript>:NH<Subscript>3</Subscript> (Y = S,Se; X = F,Cl, Br) complexes: An ab initio investigation

Using ab initio calculations, the geometries, interaction energies and bonding properties of chalcogen bond and halogen bond interactions between YOX₄ (Y = S, Se; X = F, Cl, Br) and NH₃ molecules are studied. These binary complexes are formed through the interaction of a positive electrostatic potential region (σ-hole) on the YOX₄ with the negative region in the NH₃. The ab initio calculations are carried out at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level, through analysis of molecular electrostatic potentials, quantum theory of atoms in molecules and natural bond orbital methods. Our results indicate that even though the chalcogen and halogen bonds are mainly dominated by electrostatic effects, but the polarization and dispersion effects also make important contributions to the total interaction energy of these complexes. The examination of interaction energies suggests that the chalcogen bond is always favored over the halogen bond for all of the binary YOX₄:NH₃ complexes.     

Halogenation and Nucleophilic Quenching: Two Routes to E−X Bond Formation in Cobalt Triple-Decker Complexes (E=As,P; X=F,Cl, Br,I)

The oxidation of [(Cp’’’Co)₂(μ,η² : η²-E₂)₂] (E=As ( 1 ), P ( 2 ); Cp’’’=1,2,4-tri(tert-butyl)cyclopentadienyl) with halogens or halogen sources (I₂, PBr₅, PCl₅) was investigated. For the arsenic derivative, the ionic compounds [(Cp’’’Co)₂(μ,η⁴ : η⁴−As₄X)][Y] (X=I, Y=[As₆I₈]_0.5 ( 3 a ), Y=[Co₂Cl_6-nI_n]_0.5 (n=0, 2, 4; 3 b ); X=Br, Y=[Co₂Br₆]_0.5 ( 4 ); X=Cl, Y=[Co₂Cl₆]_0.5 ( 5 )) were isolated. The oxidation of the phosphorus analogue 2 with bromine and chlorine sources yielded the ionic complexes [(Cp’’’Co)₂(μ-PBr₂)₂(μ-Br)][Co₂Br₆]_0.5 ( 6 a ), [(Cp’’’Co)₂(μ-PCl₂)₂(μ-Cl)][Co₂Cl₆]_0.5 ( 6 b ) and the neutral species [(Cp’’’Co)₂(μ-PCl₂)(μ-PCl)(μ,η¹ : η¹-P₂Cl₃] ( 7 ), respectively. As an alternative approach, quenching of the dications [(Cp’’’Co)₂(μ,η⁴ : η⁴-E₄)][TEF]₂ (TEF=[Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄]⁻, E=As ( 8 ), P ( 9 )) with KI yielded [(Cp’’’Co)₂(μ,η⁴ : η⁴-As₄I)][I] ( 10 ), representing the homologue of 3 , and the neutral complex [(Cp’’’Co)(Cp’’’CoI₂)(μ,η⁴ : η¹-P₄)] ( 11 ), respectively. The use of [(CH₃)₄N]F instead of KI leads to the formation of [(Cp’’’Co)₂(μ-PF₂)(μ,η² : η¹ : η¹-P₃F₂)] ( 12 ) and 2 , thereby revealing synthetic access to polyphosphorus compounds bearing P−F groups and avoiding the use of very strong fluorinating reagents, such as XeF₂, that are difficult to control.     

Reactivity of [M(CO)3(NN)(thioureas)] (M = Mo,W; NN = 2,2′bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline) complexes towards systems with mercury-halides bonds. Trimetallic compounds with XMHgM′X (M′ = Mo,W; X = Cl,Br, I) bondings

New heterotrimetallic complexes were isolated by reaction of M(CO)₃(NN)L (M = Mo, W; NN = bipy, phen; L = thioureas) either with HgX₂ (X = Cl, Br, I) giving complexes of the formula [M(CO)₃(NN)(X)]₂Hg or with M′(CO)₃(NN′)(Cl)(HgCl) (M′ = Mo, W; NN′ = bipy, phen) producing compounds of the type (Cl)(NN)(CO)₃MHgM′(CO)₃(NN′)(Cl). These new photosensitive substances were characterized through IR spectroscopy and conductivity measurements. Structures involving XMHgM′X bonding are proposed and the reactions are discussed in terms of an insertion of the fragment M(CO)₃(NN) into the HgX bonds.     

金属四重键化合物M2X4（PMe3）4（M=Cr，Mo，W;X=F，CI，Br，I）结构和电子光谱的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论方法，在TZ2P-STO基组水平下，对金属四重键化合物M2Cl4（PMe3）4（M=Cr，Mo，W）和Mo2X4（PMe3）4（X=F，Cl，Br，I）的几何结构进行优化，分析了电子结构，并运用TDDFT方法对其低占据激发态进行了计算．考虑相对论效应的ZORA方法能够较好地重现M2X4（PMe3）4的几何结构．M2X4（PMe3）4的电子结构分析表明其d电子的组态为σ^2π^4δ^2，前线轨道能级顺序为πlig〈πd／σd〈δd〈δd^＊．金属原子和卤素配体的改变虽然使轨道能量发生变化，但没有影响轨道的排布顺序．TDDFT方法对M2Xa（PMe3）4δd→δd^＊和π→δd^＊跃迁能量的计算较为准确，对πlig→δd^＊（LMCT）跃迁能量的计算误差较大．金属原子、卤素配体以及相对论效应对激发能的影响可以根据分子轨道能级的变化给予解释．     

XH-NH3(X=F,Cl,Br)质子传递的溶剂效应:簇模型,连续介质模型和离散-连续组合模型的比较

分别采用分子簇模型、连续介质模型和离散-连续组合模型研究了XH-NH3(X=F,Cl,Br)分子内质子传递的溶剂效应．结果表明,对于弱酸性化合物FH-NH3,其溶剂效应主要为短程作用,3个H2O分子即可使其发生质子传递,而简单的连续介质模型得到的仍为分子化合物形式,需进一步包含溶剂效应短程作用．对于强酸性化合物ClH-NH3和BrH-NH3,较弱的溶剂效应即可促使其发生质子传递,分子簇模型和连续介质模型均可合理描述,且与离散-连续组合模型的结果相近．离散-连续组合模型既在从头算水平考虑了溶质分子和第一溶剂化层中溶剂分子间的短程作用,又包含了溶剂效应的长程静电作用,能更准确地描述溶剂化作用,且对弱酸性化合物和强酸性化合物体系均适用．     

Structure,electrochemistry, spectroscopy,and magnetic resonance,including high-field EPR,of {(μ-abpy)[Re(CO)3X]2}o/•−, where abpy = 2,2′-azobispyridine and X = F,Cl, Br,I

Attempts to prepare and study the title complexes yielded the structurally characterized neutral compounds anti-{(μ-abpy)[Re(CO)₃X]₂}, X = Br (I4₁/a), I (C2/c), and two crystalline forms of anti-{(μ-abpy)[Re(CO)₃Cl]₂}. One of these forms (P2₁/c) has been reported before, the other (I4₁/a), obtained through crystallization in the presence of Zn, is isostructural to the form found for anti-{(μ-abpy)[Re(CO)₃Br]₂}. Syntheses of {(μ-abpy)[Re(CO)₃Cl]₂} at high or low temperatures yielded different compositions, the high temperature procedure led to partial formation of syn/anti mixtures and one-electron reduced species. The same was observed to a greater extent in the preparation of labile syn/anti-{(μ-abpy)[Re(CO)₃F]₂}^o/??. The identity of isolated species was investigated using ¹H NMR spectroscopy, variable frequency EPR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, UV/Vis- and IR-spectroelectrochemistry. The effects of halide variation on structure, reduction potentials, isomerism and electronic situation are being discussed.     

Stannylenes: structures, electron affinities, ionization energies, and singlet-triplet gaps of SnX2/SnXY and XSnR/SnR2/RSnR′ species (X; Y = H, F, Cl, Br, I, and R; R' = CH3, SiH3, GeH3, SnH3)

Systematic computational studies of stannylene derivatives SnX(2)/SnXY and XSnR/SnR(2)/RSnR' were carried out using density functional theory. The basis sets used for H, F, Cl, Br, C, Si, and Ge atoms are of double-ζ plus polarization quality with additional s- and p-type diffuse functions, denoted DZP++. For the iodine and tin atoms, the Stuttgart-Dresden basis sets, with relativistic small-core effective core potentials (ECP), are used. All geometries are fully optimized with three functionals (BHLYP, BLYP, and B3LYP). Harmonic vibrational wavenumber analyses are performed to evaluate zero-point energy corrections and to determine the nature of the stationary points located. Predicted are four types of neutral-anion separations, plus adiabatic ionization energies (E(IE)) and singlet-triplet energy gaps (ΔE(S-T)). The dependence of all three energetic properties upon choice of substituent is remarkably strong. The EA(ad(ZPVE)) values (eV) obtained with the B3LYP functional range from 0.70 eV [Sn(CH(3))(2)] to 2.36 eV [SnI(2)]. The computed E(IE) values lie between 7.33 eV [Sn(SnH(3))(2)] and 11.15 eV [SnF(2)], while the singlet-triplet splittings range from 0.60 eV [Sn(SnH(3))(2)] to 3.40 eV [SnF(2)]. The geometries and energetics compare satisfactorily with the few available experiments, while most of these species are investigated for the first time. Some unusual structures are encountered for the SnXI(+) (X = F, Cl, and Br) cations. The structural parameters and energetics are discussed and compared with the carbene, silylene, and germylene analogues.     

Communication: probing the entrance channels of the X+CH4→HX+CH3 (X = F, Cl, Br, I) reactions via photodetachment of X(-)-CH4

The entrance channel potentials of the prototypical polyatomic reaction family X + CH(4) → HX + CH(3) (X = F, Cl, Br, I) are investigated using anion photoelectron spectroscopy and high-level ab initio electronic structure computations. The pre-reactive van der Waals (vdW) wells of these reactions are probed for X = Cl, Br, I by photodetachment spectra of the corresponding X(-)-CH(4) anion complex. For F-CH(4), a spin-orbit splitting (～1310 cm(-1)) much larger than that of the F atom (404 cm(-1)) was observed, in good agreement with theory. This showed that in the case of the F-CH(4) system the vertical transition from the anion ground state to the neutral potentials accesses a region between the vdW valley and transition state of the early-barrier F + CH(4) reaction. The doublet splittings observed in the other halogen complexes are close to the isolated atomic spin-orbit splittings, also in agreement with theory.     

Prediction and characterization of HCCH···AuX (X = OH, F, Cl, Br, CH3, CCH, CN, and NC) complexes: a π Au-bond

In this article, we performed quantum chemical calculations to study the π Au-bond in the HCCH···AuX (X = OH, F, Cl, Br, CH(3), CCH, CN, and NC) system. For comparison, we also investigated the HCCH···Au(+) and H(2)CCH(2)···AuF complexes. The equilibrium geometries and infrared spectra at the MP2 level were reported. The interaction energies were calculated at the MP2 and coupled-cluster single double triple levels. The natural bond orbital results support the Dewar-Chatt-Duncanson model. Moreover, we focused on the influence of X atom on the geometries, interaction energies, and orbital interactions as well as the comparison between HCCH···AuF and H(2)CCH(2)···AuF complexes. Although the π Au-bond in these complexes is electrostatic in nature, the weight of covalent nature is also important.     

Theoretical study on the substitution reactions of fluorosilylenoid H2SiLiF with SiH3XH n−1 (X = F,Cl, Br,O, N; n = 1, 1, 1, 2, 3)

The substitution reactions of H₂SiLiF (A) with SiH₃XH _n?1 (X = F, Cl, Br, O, N; n = 1, 1, 1, 2, 3) have been studied using DFT and ab initio methods. The results indicate that the substitution reactions of A with SiH₃XH _n?1 proceed via two reaction paths, I and II. The following conclusions emerge from this work. (i) The substitutions of A with SiH₃XH _n?1 are nucleophilic reactions and occur in a concerted manner. Path I is more favorable than path II. The substitution barriers of A with SiH₃XH _n?1 for path I decrease with the increase of the atomic number of X for the same period systems, whereas the barriers increase with the increase of the atomic number of X for the same family systems. (ii) The substitution products are H₂SiFSiH₃ and LiXH _n?1. If the H atoms in SiH₃ of SiH₃XH _n–1 are substituted by different atoms or groups, silanes H₂SiFSiH₃ obtained via paths I and II would be enantiomers. (iii) All the substitution reactions of A with SiH₃XH _n?1 are exothermic.     

Preparation and structural characterization of the isomorphous compounds: [Bu4N][Mo3(μ3-O)(μ-X)3(μ-OAc)3 X 3]·(CH3)2CO,X=Cl,Br

The reaction of MoCl₃(H₂O)₃ with a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of [N(C₄H₉)₄][BF₄] followed by crystallization from acetone/hexane gives a 77% yield of dark purple [NBu₄][Mo₃OCl₆(OAc)₃]·Me₂CO (1). A similar reaction employing MoBr₃(H₂O)₃ gives purple [NBu₄][Mo₃OBr₆(OAc)₃]·Me₂CO (2) in 50% yield. Also produced in this reaction in low (10–20%) yields are [NBu₄]₂[Mo₄OBr₁₂] · 0.5Me₂CO and [NBu₄]₂[Mo₃OBr₆(OAc)₃] · Me₂CO which will be discussed elsewhere Compounds (1) and (2) are isomorphous, space groupP2₁/n,Z=4 with the following unit cell dimensions, where the values for (1) and (2) are given in that order for each one:a=13.406(4), 13.726(5) Å;b=15.701(4), 15.839(5) Å;c=19.250(5), 19.831(6) Å; =101.61(2), 102.92(3)°. Both (1) and (2) are eight-electron species in which the mean Mo-Mo distances are 2.578(1) Å and 2.597(1) Å, respectively.     

New insights into the dihydrogen bonds (MHδ−···Hδ+X) in CpM(PMe3)(L)2H···HX (M=Cr,Mo, W; L=PMe3, CO; X=F,OH, NH2)

Characterization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">σ</Emphasis>-hole interactions in 1:1 and 1:2 complexes of YOF<Subscript>2</Subscript>X (X = F,Cl, Br,I; Y = P,As) with ammonia: competition between halogen and pnicogen bonds

Ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory are performed to examine 1:1 and 1:2 complexes of YOF₂X (X = F, Cl, Br, I; Y = P, As) with ammonia. The YOF₂X:NH₃ complexes are formed through the interaction of the lone pair of the ammonia with the σ-hole region associated with the X or Y atom of YOF₂X molecule. The calculated interaction energies of halogen-bonded complexes are between ?1.06 kcal/mol in the POF₃···NH₃ and ?6.21 kcal/mol in the AsOF₂I···NH₃ one. For a given Y atom, the largest pnicogen bond interaction energy is found for the YOF₃, while the smallest for the YOF₂I one. Almost a strong linear relationship is evident between the interaction energies and the magnitudes of the positive electrostatic potentials on the X and Y atoms. The results indicate that the interaction energies of halogen and pnicogen bonds in the ternary H₃N:YOF₂X:NH₃ systems are less negative relative to the respective binary systems. The interaction energy of Y···N bond is decreased by 1–22 %, whereas that of X···N bond by about 5–61 %. That is, both Y···N and X···N interactions exhibit anticooperativity or diminutive effects in the ternary complexes.     

Cooperative and diminutive unusual weak bonding in F3CX···HMgH···Y and F3CX···Y···HMgH trimers (X = Cl, Br; Y = HCN, and HNC)

MP2 calculations with cc-pVTZ basis set were used to analyze intermolecular interactions in F(3)CX···HMgH···Y and F(3)CX···Y···HMgH triads (X = Cl, Br; Y = HCN, and HNC) which are connecting with three kinds of unusual weak interactions, namely halogen-hydride, dihydrogen, and σ-hole. To understand the properties of the systems better, the corresponding dyads are also studied. Molecular geometries, binding energies, and infrared spectra of monomers, dyads, and triads were investigated at the MP2/cc-pVTZ computational level. Particular attention is given to parameters such as cooperative energies, cooperative dipole moments, and many-body interaction energies. Those complexes with simultaneous presence of a σ-hole bond and a dihydrogen bond show cooperativity energy ranging between -1.02 and -2.31 kJ mol(-1), whereas those with a halogen-hydride bond and a dihydrogen bond are diminutive, with this energetic effect between 0.1 and 0.63 kJ mol(-1). The electronic properties of the complexes have been analyzed using the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), the electron density shift maps, and the parameters derived from the atoms in molecules (AIM) methodology.     

σ-Hole bond tunability in YO<Subscript>2</Subscript>X<Subscript>2</Subscript>:NH<Subscript>3</Subscript> and YO<Subscript>2</Subscript>X<Subscript>2</Subscript>:H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O complexes (X = F,Cl, Br; Y = S,Se): trends and theoretical aspects

A σ-hole is defined as an electron-deficient region on the extension of a covalently bonded group IV–VII atoms. If the electronic density in the σ-hole is sufficiently low, then this region will have a positive electrostatic potential, which allows attractive noncovalent interactions with negative sites. SO₂X₂ and SeO₂X₂ (X = F, Cl and Br) have three Lewis acid sites of σ-hole located in the outermost of chalcogen atom and X end, participating in the chalcogen and halogen bonds with NH₃ and H₂O, respectively. MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations reveal that for a given halogen atom, SeO₂X₂ forms stronger chalcogen bond interactions than SO₂X₂ counterpart. Almost a perfect linear relationship is evident between the interaction energies and the magnitudes of the product of most positive and negative electrostatic potentials. The interaction energies calculated by M06-2X and MP2 methods are almost consistent with each other.
