Theoretical Studies on Aromaticity of Spiro Metallaaromatics of (C10H10M)2-(M=Ni,Pd, Pt)

Aiming to identify the spiro metallaaromatic systems with potential application value, (C₁₀H₁₀M)^2?(M=Ni, Pd, Pt) derivatives were theoretically investigated. (C₁₀H₁₀M)^2?-Iso1, which has two 6-membered rings(6MRs) connected by the M spiro atom, is a 14π-aromatic as a whole plane. (C₁₀H₁₀M)^2?-Iso2 has one 6π-aromatic 5MR and one 10π-aromatic 7MR connected by the spiro atom. The free (C₁₀H₁₀M)^2? dianions could not exist due to their rather high frontier orbital energies, while the neutral (C₁₀H₁₀M)Li₂ compounds are extremely stable against dissociation. Since (C₁₀H₁₀M)Li₂ coumponds are not fully coordinated, they trend to form (C₁₀H₁₀M)Li₄²⁺ dications, or even[(C₁₀H₁₀M)Li₂]_n polymers. Arguably, (C₁₀H₁₀M)^2? planes are not the only examples for spiro metallaaromaticity, their derivatives are also potential material building blocks.     

Telluro- and seleno-bridged TiIV-MII (M = Ni,Pd, Pt) heterobimetallic complexes

Summary Heterobimetallic complexes of the types [Cp₂Ti(-EAr)₂-M(dppe)] (ClO₄)₂ [(1)–(4); M, E = Ni, Te (1); Ni, Se (2); Pt, Te (3); Pt, Se (4); Ar = Ph (a), C₆H₄-4-Me (b), C₆H₄-4-OMe (c), C₆H₄-4-OEt (d)] and [Cp₂Ti(-TeAr)₂-MCl ₂] [M = Pd (5), Pt (6)] were obtained by the reactions of Cp₂Ti(EAr)₂ with M(dppe)(ClO₄)₂ and M(PhCN)₂Cl₂, respectively. While (1), (5) and (6) are stable in the solid state as well as in solution, (2)–(4) undergo dissociation to M(dppe)(EAr)₂ and Cp₂Ti(ClO₄)₂ in solution, as shown by multinuclear (³¹P{¹H},¹⁹⁵Pt{¹H}, ¹²⁵Te{¹H}) n.m.r. studies. The reaction of Cp₂Ti(SeAr)₂ with M(PhCN)₂Cl₂, however, leads to the formation of Cp₂TiCl₂ and a polymeric material [M(SeAr)₂] _n .     

Geometric, electronic, and bonding properties of AuNM (N = 1-7, M = Ni, Pd, Pt) clusters

Employing first-principles methods, based on density functional theory, we report the ground state geometric and electronic structures of gold clusters doped with platinum group atoms, Au(N)M (N = 1-7, M = Ni, Pd, Pt). The stability and electronic properties of Ni-doped gold clusters are similar to that of pure gold clusters with an enhancement of bond strength. Due to the strong d-d or s-d interplay between impurities and gold atoms originating in the relativistic effects and unique properties of dopant delocalized s-electrons in Pd- and Pt-doped gold clusters, the dopant atoms markedly change the geometric and electronic properties of gold clusters, and stronger bond energies are found in Pt-doped clusters. The Mulliken populations analysis of impurities and detailed decompositions of bond energies as well as a variety of density of states of the most stable dopant gold clusters are given to understand the different effects of individual dopant atom on bonding and electronic properties of dopant gold clusters. From the electronic properties of dopant gold clusters, the different chemical reactivity toward O(2), CO, or NO molecule is predicted in transition metal-doped gold clusters compared to pure gold clusters.     

ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF M(S2C2(CN)2)2 1-(M=Ni,Pt) COMPLEXES

Abstract

Single crystal conductivity studies over a temperature range of 200°K to 400°K have been carried out on various M(S₂C₂(CN)₂)₂ ^1-(M=Ni,Pt) salts. A room temperature conductivity of ～ 10^?10ohm^?1 cm^?1 and an E_a?0.5 eV was observed for each of these systems. These results are correlated with the magnetic, electronic, and crystallographic properties. The semiconducting behavior of these systems is related to the electronic structure of the molecular anion.

Summary Reaction of Lawessons reagent (MeOC₆H₄P(S)S₂P(S)C₆H₄OMe) (1) withbis-phosphine-dihalide complexes of nickel, palladium and platinum proceeds with asymmetric bridge cleavage to give M(PR₃)₂(S₂(S)PC₆H₄OMe) (2). The new compounds were characterised by³¹P n.m.r., i.r. and microanalyses.     

ML42-几何和电子结构的理论研究(M=Ni2+,Pd2+,Pt2+;L=CN-,Cl-)

对具有16电子的镍族二价阴离子系列的几何和电子结构进行了研究．在从头算和密度泛函（DFT）的水平上计算得到的几何结构与实验结果具有较好的可比性．SVWN，BP86和B3LYP计算的键长、键角一般具有相同的趋势，但SVWN计算的键长有时偏短．NP2个别情况下表现出异于DFT的趋势．电荷分布计算结果表明：在高自旋态的（扭曲）四面体NiCl4^2-中，Ni具有较高的正电荷，NP2的计算值甚至接近两个正电荷；相对而言，低自旋态的平方四边形中金属原子拥有明显较低的正电荷．计算结果证明了传统观点，即Cl^-是比CN^-更弱的电子受体，这点在NiCl4^2-的情形下体现得特别明显，Cl^-几乎没有为Ni^2＋提供电子或负电荷．     

Syntheses and electronic structures of one-electron-oxidized group 10 metal(II)-(disalicylidene)diamine complexes (metal = Ni, Pd, Pt)

Group 10 metal(II) complexes of H2tbu-salen (H2tbu-salen = N,N'-bis(3',5'-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)ethylenediamine) and H2tbu-salcn (H2tbu-salcn = N,N'-bis(3',5'-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) containing two 2,4-di(tert-butyl)phenol moieties, [Ni(tbu-salen)] (1a), [Ni(tbu-salcn)] (1b), [Pd(tbu-salen)] (2a), [Pd(tbu-salcn)] (2b), and [Pt(tbu-salen)] (3), were prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the electronic structures of their one-electron-oxidized species were established by spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. All the complexes have a mononuclear structure with two phenolate oxygens coordinated in a very similar square-planar geometry. These complexes exhibited similar absorption spectra in CH2Cl2, indicating that they all have a similar structure in solution. Cyclic voltammograms of the complexes showed a quasi-reversible redox wave at E1/2 = 0.82-1.05 V (vs Ag/AgCl), corresponding to formation of the relatively stable one-electron-oxidized species. The electrochemically oxidized or Ce(IV)-oxidized species of 1a, 2a, and 3 displayed a first-order decay with a half-life of 83, 20, and 148 min at -20 degrees C, respectively. Ni(II) complexes 1a and 1b were converted to the phenoxyl radicals upon one-electron oxidation in CH2Cl2 above -80 degrees C and to the Ni(III)-phenolate species below -120 degrees C. The temperature-dependent conversion was reversible with the Ni(III)-phenolate ground state and was found to be a valence tautomerism governed by the solvent. One-electron-oxidized 1b was isolated as [Ni(tbu-salcn)]NO3 (4) having the Ni(II)-phenoxyl radical ground state. One-electron-oxidized species of the Pd(II) complexes 2a and 2b were different from those of the Ni(II) complexes, the Pd(II)-phenoxyl radical species being the ground state in CH2Cl2 in the range 5-300 K. The one-electron-oxidized form of 2b, [Pd(tbu-salcn)]NO3 (5), which was isolated as a dark green powder, was found to be a Pd(II)-phenoxyl radical complex. On the other hand, the ESR spectrum of the one-electron-oxidized species of Pt(II) complex 3 exhibited a temperature-independent large g anisotropy in CH2Cl2 below -80 degrees C, while its resonance Raman spectrum at -60 degrees C displayed nu8a of the phenoxyl radical band at 1600 cm-1. These results indicated that the ground state of the Pt(II)-phenoxyl radical species has a large distribution of the radical electron spin at the Pt center. One-electron oxidation of 3 gave [Pt(tbu-salen)]NO3 (6) as a solid, where the oxidation state of the Pt center was determined to be ca. +2.5 from the XPS and XANES measurements.     

Theoretical design of novel trinuclear sandwich complexes with central M3 triangles (M = Ni, Pd, Pt)

On the basis of the 18-electron rule, we theoretically designed a series of sandwich complexes [M(3)L(2)(CO)(3)](q) (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; L = C(7)H(7), P(5), P(6), As(5), As(6); q = 2+, 0, or 2-) by means of density functional theory computations. These sandwich structures are of high stability, revealed by their strong donating and back-donating metal-ligand interactions, considerable aromatic characters as well as sizable energy gaps. All these proposed sandwich structures might serve as promising building blocks for new nanomaterials.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and thermal stabilities of the first Hofmann-DMF-type complexes Zn(DMF)2M(CN)4 (M = Ni,Pd, Pt)

The first Hofmann-DMF-type complexes Zn(DMF)₂M(CN)₄ (M = Ni (1), Pd (2), Pt (3)) have been synthesized by solution diffusion and characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure consists of 2-D corrugated sheets stacking along the a-axis in an ABAB packing mode without interpenetration. The octahedral Zn ions and square-planar M ions occupy special positions of 2/m site symmetry. The DMF, except for six methyl H atoms, lies on a crystallographic mirror plane; the DMF molecules coordinate to axial sites of Zn on both sides of the sheet. The framework of 1 begins to collapse with loss of coordinated DMF.     

Heterodinuclear M1M2 Complexes (M1=Ni,Pd, Pt; M2=Rh,Ir) Supported by a Tetradentate Phosphine Ligand and Their Application for Hydrosilylation

A new series of cationic heterodinuclear complexes, [M¹M²Cl₂(meso-dpmppp)(RNC)₂]PF₆ (M¹=Ni, M²=Rh, R=^tBu ( 1 a ); M¹=Pd, M²=Rh, R=^tBu ( 2 a ), Xyl ( 2 b ); M¹=Pt, M²=Rh, R=^tBu ( 3 a ), Xyl ( 3 b ); M¹=Pd, M²=Ir, R=^tBu ( 4 a )), supported by a tetradentate phosphine ligand, meso-Ph₂PCH₂P(Ph)(CH₂)₃P(Ph)CH₂PPh₂ (meso-dpmppp), were synthesized by stepwise reactions of meso-dpmppp with NiCl₂ ⋅ 6H₂O or MCl₂(cod) (M=Pd, Pt), forming mononuclear metalloligands of [M¹Cl₂(meso-dpmppp)], and with [M²Cl(cod)]₂ (M²=Rh, Ir) and RNC (R=^tBu, Xyl) in the presence of [NH₄][PF₆]. The related neutral PdRh complex, [PdRhCl₃(meso-dpmppp)(XylNC)] ( 5 ), was also prepared. The structures of 1 – 5 were determined by X-ray analyses to contain two square planar d⁸ metal centers with face-to-face arrangement, where meso-dpmppp supports M¹ and M² metal ions in cis/trans-P,P coordination mode, combining cis-{M¹P₂Cl₂} and trans-{M²P₂(CNR)₂} units. Complexes 1 – 4 showed an intence characteristic absorption around 422–464 nm derived from Rh^I→RNC MLCT transition (HOMO→LUMO+1), which are influenced by changing M¹ (Ni^II, Pd^II, Pt^II) metal ions since HOMO composed of dσ* orbitals appreciably destabilized by changing M¹ from Ni to Pd, and Pt. The electronic structures of 1 a – 4 a were investigated on the basis of DFT calculations and NBO analyses to show weak but noticeable d⁸–d⁸ metallophilic interaction as empirical dispersion energy of 0.9–1.5 kcal/mol without M¹–M² covalent bonding interaction. In addition, 1 – 5 were utilized as catalysts for hydrosilylation of styrene, and the NiRh complex 1 a was found to show higher activity and chemo- and regioselectivity compared with 2 – 5 .     

The role of long-lived oxygen precursors on AuM alloys (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) in CO oxidation

Gold alloys have been reported to be active in very low temperature oxidation of CO. The reasons for the better performance of AuNi with respect to Ni(111) surfaces were reported recently by indicating an active role of gold. Our results show that for this alloy, the CO oxidation molecular channel is responsible for the low temperature performance but the remaining oxygen on the surface is tightly bound and the process is not catalytic at low to room temperatures. The contribution from the associative path is also improved for the rest of the series: AuPd and AuPt. Only in the latter case, an important reduction of the light-off temperature of the catalytic path is observed.     

Low-energy vibrations of the group 10 metal monocarbonyl MCO (M = Ni, Pd, and Pt): rotational spectroscopy and force field analysis

The rotational spectra of NiCO and PdCO in the ground and ν(2) excited vibrational states were observed by employing a source-modulated microwave spectrometer. The NiCO and PdCO molecules were generated in a free space cell by the sputtering reaction of nickel and palladium sheets, respectively, lining the inner surface of a stainless steel cathode with a dc glow plasma of CO and Ar. The molecular constants of NiCO and PdCO were determined by least-squares analysis. By force field analysis for the molecular constants of not only NiCO and PdCO but also of PtCO as previously reported, the harmonic force constants were determined for these three group 10 metal monocarbonyls. The vibrational wavenumbers derived for the lower M-C stretching vibrations were in good agreement with those obtained from the IR spectra in noble gas matrices and those predicted by several quantum chemical calculations published in the past. The bending vibrational wavenumbers derived by the force field analysis were also consistent with most quantum chemical calculations previously reported, but showed systematic discrepancies from the matrix IR values by about 40 cm(-1), even after reassignment (ν(2) band → 2ν(2) band) of the matrix IR spectra of PdCO and PtCO.     

Density functional theory study of the d(10) series (H3P)3M(eta 1-SO2) and (MenPh(3-n)P)3M(eta 1-SO2) (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; n = 0-3): SO2 pyramidality and M-S bond dissociation energies

Quantum mechanical density functional theory (DFT) and coupled DFT/molecular mechanics (QMMM) studies of the compounds (H(3)P)(3)M(eta(1)-SO(2)) and (Me(n)Ph(3-n)P)(3)M(eta(1)-SO(2)) (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; n = 0-3) model the experimental data well, particularly the planar/pyramidal geometries at sulfur. Bond dissociation energy (BDE) calculations confirm that Pd/Pt systems with pyramidal SO(2) ligands exhibit M-S BDEs smaller by 30-50% than Ni systems with planar SO(2). However, scans of the potential energy surfaces show that flexing the planar/pyramidal torsion angle within ranges of 20-30 degrees requires little energy. Bond energy decomposition calculations indicate that the electrostatic Delta E(elstat) term determines the BDE for Pd/Pt molecules where the sulfur is pyramidal, whereas all three terms matter when the sulfur is planar, as for Ni compounds. However, this accounts only for a fraction of the BDE differences; orbital energy matching accounts for the balance.     

Probing the intrinsic electronic structure of the bis(dithiolene) anions [M(mnt)2]2- and [M(mnt)2]1- (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; mnt = 1,2-S2C2(CN)2) in the gas phase by photoelectron spectroscopy

A detailed understanding of the electronic structure of transition metal bis(dithiolene) complexes is important because of their interesting redox, magnetic, optical, and conducting properties and their relevance to enzymes containing molybdenum and tungsten bis(dithiolene) centers. The electronic structures of the bis(dithiolene) anions [M(mnt)(2)](n-) (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; mnt = 1,2-S(2)C(2)(CN)(2); n = 0-2) were examined by a combination of photodetachment photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and density functional theory calculations. The combined experimental and theoretical data provide insight into the molecular orbital energy levels of [M(mnt)(2)](2-) and the ground and excited states of [M(mnt)(2)](1-) and [M(mnt)(2)]. Detachment features from ligand-based orbitals of [M(mnt)(2)](2-) occur at similar energies for each species, independent of the metal center, while those arising from metal-based orbitals occur at higher energies for the heavier congeners. Electronic excitation energies inferred for [M(mnt)(2)](1-) from the PES experiments agree well with those obtained in optical absorption experiments in solution, with the PES experiments providing additional insight into the changes in energy of these transitions as a function of metal. The singly charged anions [M(mnt)(2)](1-) were also prepared and studied independently. Electron detachment from the ground states of these doublet anions accessed the lowest singlet and triplet states of neutral [M(mnt)(2)], thereby providing a direct experimental measure of their singlet-triplet splitting.     

M(CO)4~(2+)(M=Ni,Pd,Pt)的几何结构与自旋态的理论研究

对标题化合物的几何结构和可能的自旋态在密度泛函DFT-BP86和从头算的水平上进行了研究.计算结果表明:作为16电子配合物阳离子,Pd(CO)_4~(2+)和Pt(CO)~(2+)都以低自旋态平面四边形构型存在,这与实验事实相符,计算得到的键长Pd-C和Pt-C相对趋势也与实验数据一致.而对于Ni(CO)_4~(2+)阳离子计算,在低自旋态平面四边形构型和高自旋态的(扭曲)四面体之间无法给出明确的答案,因为CCSD(T)//BP86和CCSD(T)//MP2水平下得到的两种结构之间的能量差几乎可以忽略.     

Synthesis of the elusive (R3P)2MF2 (M = Pd, Pt) complexes

The synthesis and characterization of previously unknown palladium(II) and platinum(II) difluoro phosphine complexes are described. These complexes can be obtained either via a halide metathesis reaction with AgF in dichloromethane or by reacting the corresponding dimethyl complexes with XeF2. While the Pt(II) complexes can be prepared with both aryl- and alkyl-phosphine ligands, the stability of the Pd(II) complexes is limited to those having cis-oriented trialkyl phosphine ligands.     

噻吩在M(111)(M=Pd,Pt,Au)表面的吸附(英文)

采用密度泛函理论(DFT),选取DMol3程序模块,对噻吩在M(111)(M=Pd,Pt,Au)表面上的吸附行为进行了探讨.通过对噻吩在不同底物金属上的吸附能、吸附构型、Mulliken电荷布居、差分电荷密度以及态密度的分析发现,噻吩在Pd(111)面上的吸附能最大,Pt(111)面次之,Au(111)面最小.吸附后,噻吩在Au(111)面上的构型几乎保持不变,最终通过S端倾斜吸附于top位;噻吩在Pd(111)及Pt(111)面上发生了折叠与变形,环中氢原子向上翘起,最终通过环平面平行吸附于hollow位.此外,噻吩环吸附后芳香性遭到了破坏,环中碳原子发生sp3杂化,同时电子逐渐由噻吩向M(111)面发生转移,M(111)面上的部分电子也反馈给了噻吩环中的空轨道,这种协同作用最终导致了噻吩分子稳定吸附于M(111)面.     

A complete family of isostructural cluster compounds with cubane-like M(3)S(4)M' cores (M = Mo,W; M' = Ni,Pd, Pt): comparative crystallography and electrochemistry

By reaction of the geometrically incomplete cubane-like clusters [(eta(5)-Cp')(3)Mo(3)S(4))][pts] and [(eta(5)-Cp')(3)W(3)S(4)][pts] (Cp' = methylcyclopentadienyl; pts = p-toluenesulfonate) with group 10 alkene complexes, three new heterobimetallic clusters with cubane-like cluster cores were isolated: [(eta(5)-Cp')(3)W(3)S(4)M'(PPh(3))][pts] ([5][pts], M' = Pd; [6][pts], M' = Pt); [(eta(5)-Cp')(3)Mo(3)S(4)Ni(AsPh(3))][pts] ([7][pts]). The compounds [5][pts]-[7][pts] are completing the extensive series of clusters [(eta(5)-Cp')(3)M(3)S(4)M'(EPh(3))][pts] (M = Mo, W; M' = Ni, Pd, Pt; E = P, As) which allows the consequences of replacing a single type of atom on structural and NMR and UV/vis spectroscopic as well as electrochemical properties to be determined. Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of [5][pts]-[7][pts] revealed that [5][pts] was not isomorphous to the other members of the series [(eta(5)-Cp')(3)M(3)S(4)M'(EPh(3))][pts] due to distinctly different cell parameters, which in the molecular structure of [5](+) is reflected in a slightly different orientation of the PPh(3) ligand. Electrochemical measurements on the series showed that the Mo-based clusters were more difficult to oxidize than their W-based analogues. The Pd-containing clusters underwent two-electron oxidation processes, whereas the Ni- and Pt-containing clusters underwent two separated one-electron oxidation processes.
