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.     

Computational studies of σ-type weak interactions between NCO/NCS radicals and XY(X = H,Cl;Y = F,Cl,and Br)

The triatomic radicals NCO and NCS are of interest in atmospheric chemistry,and both the ends of these radicals can potentially serve as electron donors during the formation of σ-type hydrogen/halogen bonds with electron acceptors XY(X = H,Cl;Y = F,Cl,and Br).The geometries of the weakly bonded systems NCO/NCS···XY were determined at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of calculation.The results obtained indicate that the geometries in which the hydrogen/halogen atom is bonded at the N atom are more stable than those where it is bonded at the O/S atom,and that it is the molecular electrostatic potential(MEP)-not the electronegativity-that determines the stability of the hydrogen/halogen bond.For the same electron donor(N or O/S) in the triatomic radical and the same X atom in XY,the bond strength decreases in the order Y = F > Cl > Br.In the hydrogen/halogen bond formation process for all of the complexes studied in this work,transfer of spin electron density from the electron donor to the electron acceptor is negligible,but spin density rearranges within the triatomic radicals,being transferred to the terminal atom not interacting with XY.     

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.     

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.

Halogen as halogen-bonding donor and hydrogen-bonding acceptor simultaneously in ring-shaped H3N·X(Y)·HF (X = Cl, Br and Y = F, Cl, Br) complexes

A series of ring-shaped molecular complexes formed by H(3)N, HF and XY (X = Cl, Br and Y = F, Cl, Br) have been investigated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. Their optimized geometry, stretching mode, and interaction energy have been obtained. We found that each complex possesses two red-shifted hydrogen bonds and one red-shifted halogen bond, and the two hydrogen bonds exhibit strong cooperative effects on the halogen bond. The cooperativity among the NH(3)···FH, FH···XY and H(3)N···XY interactions leads to the formations of these complexes. The AIM analysis has been performed at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ level of theory to examine the topological characteristics at the bond critical point and at the ring critical point, confirming the coexistence of the two hydrogen bonds and one halogen bond for each complex. The NBO analysis carried out at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory demonstrates the effects of hyperconjugation, hybridization, and polarization coming into play during the hydrogen and halogen bonding formations processes, based on which a clockwise loop of charge transfer was discovered. The molecular electrostatic potential has been employed to explore the formation mechanisms of these molecular complexes.     

Conductivity and Redox Potentials of Ionic Liquid Trihalogen Monoanions [X3]−, [XY2]−, and [BrF4]− (X=Cl,Br, I and Y=Cl,Br)

The ionic liquid (IL) trihalogen monoanions [N₂₂₂₁][X₃]⁻ and [N₂₂₂₁][XY₂]⁻ ([N₂₂₂₁]⁺=triethylmethylammonium, X=Cl, Br, I, Y=Cl, Br) were investigated electrochemically via temperature dependent conductance and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The polyhalogen monoanions were measured both as neat salts and as double salts in 1-butyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidinium trifluoromethane-sulfonate ([BMP][OTf], [X₃]⁻/[XY₂]⁻ 0.5 M). Lighter IL trihalogen monoanions displayed higher conductivities than their heavier homologues, with [Cl₃]⁻ being 1.1 and 3.7 times greater than [Br₃]⁻ and [I₃]⁻, respectively. The addition of [BMP][OTf] reduced the conductivity significantly. Within the group of polyhalogen monoanions, the oxidation potential develops in the series [Cl₃]⁻>[BrCl₂]⁻>[Br₃]⁻>[IBr₂]⁻>[ICl₂]⁻>[I₃]⁻. The redox potential of the interhalogen monoanions was found to be primarily determined by the central halogen, I in [ICl₂]⁻ and [IBr₂]⁻_, and Br in [BrCl₂]⁻. Additionally, tetrafluorobromate(III) ([N₂₂₂₁]⁺[BrF₄]⁻) was analyzed via CV in MeCN at 0 °C, yielding a single reversible redox process ([BrF₂]⁻/[BrF₄]⁻).     

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.     

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.     

Pulsed jet discharge matrix isolation and computational study of bromine atom complexes: Br···BrXCH(2) (X = H, Cl, Br)

Halogen atoms are important reactive radicals in the atmosphere. In this work, pulsed jet discharge matrix isolation spectroscopy and computational methods were used to characterize prereactive complexes of halogen atoms with simple halons. Our experiments combined matrix isolation techniques with a pulsed DC discharge nozzle, where a dilute CH(2)XBr (X = H, Cl, Br)/rare gas sample was gently discharged and the products were deposited onto a cold KBr window. The Br···BrCH(2)X (X = H, Cl, Br) complexes were characterized by infrared and electronic spectroscopy, supported by ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which shed light on the structure of, bonding in, and binding energy of the complexes. The correlation of charge-transfer energy with donor ionization potential (Mulliken correlation) was examined, and the charge-transfer photochemistry of the complexes was explored.

BiOX(X=Cl,Br, I)复合光催化材料降解水体中抗生素研究进展

抗生素大量使用致使其在水环境中普遍存在,对生态环境和人类健康造成一定威胁。卤氧化铋BiOX(X=Cl, Br, I)具有独特二维层状结构、适宜的禁带宽度等优点而被用作光催化剂来降解水中残留的抗生素。但单一BiOX(X=Cl, Br, I)存在可见光吸收能力偏弱、稳定性不佳等问题,往往需要对其进行复合改性(如金属负载、碳材料修饰及构建异质结)来提升去除水中抗生素的性能。本文主要介绍了用于水体中抗生素类污染物降解的BiOX(X=Cl, Br, I)复合光催化材料的设计合成、活性增强机制以及光催化反应机理。相比于金属负载及碳材料修饰,构建半导体异质结是常用且经济有效地增强BiOX(X=Cl, Br, I)光催化降解水中抗生素性能的方法。指出该领域以后的研究需要评估BiOX(X=Cl, Br, I)复合光催化材料降解水环境中不同类型抗生素的效果,同时还需揭示自然水体的背景成分(如溶解性有机质、无机离子等)对该类复合光催化剂去除水中抗生素活性和稳定性的影响。最后提出引入过氧化物来提升BiOX复合光催化体系矿化水中抗生素的效果以及构建磁性BiOX光催化材料来解决降解反应后的固-液分离问题。     

C56X10(X=F,Cl, Br,I)的结构稳定性和电子性质

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)中的广义梯度近似(GGA)方法对C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I)的结构稳定性和电子性质进行了计算研究. 结构稳定性计算表明: 对于C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I), 能隙、反应热、最大振动频率和最小振动频率都随着X原子序数的增加而减小, 表明C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I)的稳定性随着X原子序数的增加而逐渐降低, 其中C56F10最为稳定. 前人在实验上已成功合成出C56Cl10, 因此, 我们推测C56F10有望在实验上成功合成. 前线轨道计算发现, C56相邻的五边形公共顶点以及两个六边形-五边形-六边形公共顶点是笼子中化学活性最强的部位, 有利于卤族元素的外部吸附. 此外, 计算结果还显示, C56X10(X=F, Cl, Br, I)的电负性随着X原子序数的增大而逐渐减弱, C—X基团的电负性因位置的不同而不同.     

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 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.     

Exceedingly Facile Ph?X Activation (X=Cl,Br, I) with Ruthenium(II): Arresting Kinetics,Autocatalysis, and Mechanisms

[(Ph₃P)₃Ru(L)(H)₂] (where L=H₂ ( 1 ) in the presence of styrene, Ph₃P ( 3 ), and N₂ ( 4 )) cleave the Ph X bond (X=Cl, Br, I) at RT to give [(Ph₃P)₃RuH(X)] ( 2 ) and PhH. A combined experimental and DFT study points to [(Ph₃P)₃Ru(H)₂] as the reactive species generated upon spontaneous loss of L from 3 and 4 . The reaction of 3 with excess PhI displays striking kinetics which initially appears zeroth order in Ru. However mechanistic studies reveal that this is due to autocatalysis comprising two factors: 1) complex 2 , originating from the initial PhI activation with 3 , is roughly as reactive toward PhI as 3 itself; and 2) the Ph I bond cleavage with the just‐produced 2 gives rise to [(Ph₃P)₂RuI₂], which quickly comproportionates with the still‐present 3 to recover 2 . Both the initial and onward activation reactions involve PPh₃ dissociation, PhI coordination to Ru through I, rearrangement to a η²‐PhI intermediate, and Ph I oxidative addition.

The vibrational assignment for the undistorted icosahedral anion B₁₂X²⁻₁₂ in the series X = H, D, Cl, Br, I is discussed. The spectral pattern observed is consistent with the selection rules for the I_h point symmetry group. The changes in the spectra of the solid salts due to the crystal field are revealed.
