Infrared spectra of M(OH)(1,2,4) (M = Pb, Sn) in solid argon

Infrared absorptions for the matrix-isolated lead and tin hydroxides M(OH), M(OH)2 and M(OH)4 (M = Pb, Sn) were observed in laser-ablated metal atom reactions with H2O2 during condensation in excess argon. The major M(OH)2 product was also observed with H2 and O2 mixtures, which allowed the substitution of 18O2. The band assignments were confirmed by appropriate D2O2, D2, 16O18O, and 18O2 isotopic shifts. MP2 and B3LYP calculations were performed to obtain molecular structures and to reproduce the infrared spectra. The minimum energy structure found for M(OH)2 has C(s) symmetry and a weak intramolecular hydrogen bond. In experiments with Sn, HD, and O2, the internal D bond is favored over the H bond for Sn(OH)(OD). The Pb(OH)4 and Sn(OH)4 molecules are calculated to have S4 symmetry and substantial covalent character.     

Infrared spectra of the (AgCO)2 and AgnCO (n=2-4) molecules in rare-gas matrices

Reactions of laser-ablated silver atoms with carbon monoxide molecules in solid argon and neon have been investigated using matrix-isolation IR spectroscopy. Small silver cluster carbonyls, (AgCO)2 and AgnCO (n=2-4), as well as mononuclear silver carbonyls, Ag(CO)2 and Ag(CO)3, are generated upon sample annealing in the argon experiments and are characterized on the basis of the isotopic substitution, the CO concentration change, and the comparison with theoretical predictions. However, these polynuclear carbonyls are absent from the neon experiments. Density functional theory calculations have been performed on these silver carbonyls and the corresponding ligand-free silver clusters, which support the identification of these silver carbonyls from the matrix IRspectrum. A terminal CO has been found in the most stable structures of (AgCO)2, Ag2CO, Ag3CO, and Ag4CO. Furthermore, a plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed to account for the formation of the (AgCO)2 and AgnCO (n=2-4) molecules.     

Infrared spectra of the Li+-(H2)n (n=1-3) cation complexes

The Li+-(H2)n n=1-3 complexes are investigated through infrared spectra recorded in the H-H stretch region (3980-4120 cm-1) and through ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVQZ level. The rotationally resolved H-H stretch band of Li+-H2 is centered at 4053.4 cm-1 [a -108 cm-1 shift from the Q1(0) transition of H2]. The spectrum exhibits rotational substructure consistent with the complex possessing a T-shaped equilibrium geometry, with the Li+ ion attached to a slightly perturbed H2 molecule. Around 100 rovibrational transitions belonging to parallel Ka=0-0, 1-1, 2-2, and 3-3 subbands are observed. The Ka=0-0 and 1-1 transitions are fitted by a Watson A-reduced Hamiltonian yielding effective molecular parameters. The vibrationally averaged intermolecular separation in the ground vibrational state is estimated as 2.056 A increasing by 0.004 A when the H2 subunit is vibrationally excited. The spectroscopic data are compared to results from rovibrational calculations using recent three dimensional Li+-H2 potential energy surfaces [Martinazzo et al., J. Chem. Phys. 119, 11241 (2003); Kraemer and Spirko, Chem. Phys. 330, 190 (2006)]. The H-H stretch band of Li+-(H2)2, which is centered at 4055.5 cm-1 also exhibits resolved rovibrational structure. The spectroscopic data along with ab initio calculations support a H2-Li+-H2 geometry, in which the two H2 molecules are disposed on opposite sides of the central Li+ ion. The two equivalent Li+...H2 bonds have approximately the same length as the intermolecular bond in Li+-H2. The Li+-(H2)3 cluster is predicted to possess a trigonal structure in which a central Li+ ion is surrounded by three equivalent H2 molecules. Its infrared spectrum features a broad unresolved band centered at 4060 cm-1.

Infrared spectra and density functional calculations for M(OH)(2,3) and HOMO molecules and M(OH)2+ cations (M = Y, La)

Reactions of laser-ablated Y and La atoms with H2O2 gives the M(OH)2 and M(OH)3 molecules and the HOMO dehydration product, and the cation M(OH)2+ in solid argon. Density functional calculations show that the dihydroxide molecules and cations are bent at the metal center, and the symmetric and antisymmetric O-H stretching modes are both observed in the infrared spectra. The trihydroxide molecules have calculated C(3h) structures characterized by strong antisymmetric O-H and M-O stretching modes. Mulliken charges increase for all product molecules going down the Group 3 family and increase as one, two, and three OH ligands are bonded to the metal center. Evidence is also presented for the Y(OH)4- anion.     

Transition metal nitrosyl compounds. Part XIV(1). The oxidation of carbon monoxide by nitric oxide using [M(NO)2(PPh3)2]n+ (M=Fe,Ru or Os; n=0. M=Co,Rh or Ir; n=1)

Summary Carbon monoxide reacts with the cationic dinitrosyls [M(NO)₂(PPh₃)₂]⁺ (M = Rh, Ir) under ambient conditions to produce CO₂, N₂O and the tricarbonyl cations, (M(CO)₃(PPh₃)₂]⁺. The cationic tricarbonyls are reconverted into the dinitrosyl reactants on treatment with NO atca. 80°. The Ru(NO)₂(PPh₃)₂ and Os(NO)₂(PPh₃)₂ complexes react similarly with CO but under more vigorous conditions whereas the corresponding dinitrosyls of cobalt and iron do not undergo this reaction under similar conditions. A pentacoordinate dinitrosyl intermediate [M(NO)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂]ⁿ⁺ is proposed and a mechanism for the catalytic oxidation of CO by NO is presented. Studies of Pt(N₂O₂)PPh₃)₂ establish that a dinitrogcn dioxide intermediate, produced by the coupling of two nitrosyl ligands, is reasonable.     

Infrared spectra of the water-nitrogen complexes (H2O)2-(N2)n(n = 1-4) in argon matrices

The infrared spectra of the water-nitrogen complexes trapped in argon matrices have been studied with Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. The absorption lines of the H20-N2 1:1, 1:2, 1:n, and 2:1 complexes have been confirmed on the basis of the concentration effects. In addition, we have observed a few lines and propose the assignments for the 2:2, 2:3, and 2:4 complexes in the nu1 symmetric stretching and nu2 bending regions of the proton-acceptor molecule, and in the bonded OH stretching region of the proton-donor molecule. The redshifts in the bonded OH stretching mode and blueshifts in the OH bending mode suggest that the hydrogen bonds in the (H2O)2-(N2)n complexes with n = 1-4 are strengthened by the cooperative effects compared to the pure H2O dimer. Two absorption bands due to the 3:n complexes are also observed near the bonded OH stretching region of the H2O trimer.     

Synthesis and characterization of (smif)2M(n) (n = 0, M = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru; n = +1, M = Cr, Mn, Co, Rh, Ir; smif =1,3-di-(2-pyridyl)-2-azaallyl)

A series of Werner complexes featuring the tridentate ligand smif, that is, 1,3-di-(2-pyridyl)-2-azaallyl, have been prepared. Syntheses of (smif)(2)M (1-M; M = Cr, Fe) were accomplished via treatment of M(NSiMe(3))(2)(THF)(n) (M = Cr, n = 2; Fe, n = 1) with 2 equiv of (smif)H (1,3-di-(2-pyridyl)-2-azapropene); ortho-methylated ((o)Mesmif)(2)Fe (2-Fe) and ((o)Me(2)smif)(2)Fe (3-Fe) were similarly prepared. Metatheses of MX(2) variants with 2 equiv of Li(smif) or Na(smif) generated 1-M (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Ru). Metathesis of VCl(3)(THF)(3) with 2 Li(smif) with a reducing equiv of Na/Hg present afforded 1-V, while 2 Na(smif) and IrCl(3)(THF)(3) in the presence of NaBPh(4) gave [(smif)(2)Ir]BPh(4) (1(+)-Ir). Electrochemical experiments led to the oxidation of 1-M (M = Cr, Mn, Co) by AgOTf to produce [(smif)(2)M]OTf (1(+)-M), and treatment of Rh(2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4) with 4 equiv Na(smif) and 2 AgOTf gave 1(+)-Rh. Characterizations by NMR, EPR, and UV-vis spectroscopies, SQUID magnetometry, X-ray crystallography, and DFT calculations are presented. Intraligand (IL) transitions derived from promotion of electrons from the unique CNC(nb) (nonbonding) orbitals of the smif backbone to ligand π*-type orbitals are intense (ε ≈ 10,000-60,000 M(-1)cm(-1)), dominate the UV-visible spectra, and give crystals a metallic-looking appearance. High energy K-edge spectroscopy was used to show that the smif in 1-Cr is redox noninnocent, and its electron configuration is best described as (smif(-))(smif(2-))Cr(III); an unusual S = 1 EPR spectrum (X-band) was obtained for 1-Cr.     

Über Sn[OCH(CF3)2]2 und Sn (OCH2CF3)2 (n = 1, 2)

On S_n[OCH(CF₃)₂]₂ and S_n(OCH₂CF₃)₂ (n = 1, 2) The sulfoxylates S[OCH(R)CF₃]₂, 1 and 2 and the disulfides S₂[OCH(R)CF₃]₂, 5 and 6 (R = CF₃, H) are obtained by reacting SCl₂ or S₂Cl₂, respectively, and the lithium alcoxides LiOCH(R)CF₃. Chlorine and compound 2 give ClS(O)OCH₂F₃ and CF₃CH₂Cl, whereas the sulfur-sulfur bound is cleaved in 5 and 6 furnishing SCI₂, 1 and 2 , respectively. The ¹⁹F n.m.r. spectrum of 5 and the ¹H n.m.r. spectrum of 6 are interpreted in terms of hindered rotation about the sulfur-sulfur axis.

Metal germylyne complexes [Mtbd1;Ge-R] and metallogermylenes [M-Ge-R]: DFT analysis of the systems [(Cp)(CO)(n)()Mtbd1;GeMe] (M = Cr,Mo, W,Fe(2+), n = 2; M = Fe,n = 1) and [(Cp)(CO)(n)()M-GeMe] (M = Cr,Mo, W,n = 3; M = Fe,n = 2)

Quantum chemical calculations at the gradient corrected DFT level using the exchange correlation functionals BP86 and B3LYP of the geometries of the title compounds are reported. The theoretically predicted bond lengths and angles of the model compounds are in excellent agreement with experiment. The nature of the metal-ligand interactions is quantitatively analyzed with an energy decomposition method. The analysis of the electronic structure of the neutral metal germylyne complexes Ia-Id and the metallogermylenes IIa-IId shows that the former compounds have about the same degree of electrostatic and covalent bonding, while the relative strength of the covalent contributions in the latter molecules is lower (41-42%) than the electrostatic attraction (58-59%). The a' '(pi) bonding contribution in the group-6 germylyne complexes Ia-Ic is rather high (42% of the orbital interactions). In the iron complex Id, it is even higher (53.8%) than the sigma bonding. The pi bonding contributions to the covalent bonding become much less (18-20%) in the metallogermylenes IIa-IId.     

Bis(triphenylzinn-und-blei)hyponitrit [(C6H5)3M]2N2O2 (M = Sn,Pb)

Ab initio investigation of vibrational spectra of water-(CO2)n complexes (n = 1, 2)

In this paper, we have calculated using the ab initio method the IR vibrational spectra of complexes of CO2 formed with water (sp3 O-donating atom). Binding energies and structures of the CO2-H2O and water-(CO2)2 complexes have been determined at the second-order level of the Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) using Dunning's basis sets. The results are presented and critically discussed in terms of the nature of the water-CO2 interactions, electron donor acceptor (EDA) and weak O...H-O interactions. For water-(CO2)2 trimer, it is also shown that the contribution to the interaction energy of the irreducible three-bodies remains relatively negligible. We have analyzed the frequency shifts and the IR and Raman intensity variations under the complex formation. We have particularly emphasized the splitting of the 2 bending mode of CO2 and stretching modes of water, which have been revealed as the most pertinent probes to assess the nature of the forces involved in the different complexes. Finally, because water can play the role of Lewis base and acid as well, we found that weak O...H-O interactions can cooperate with EDA interactions in trimer, leading to very specific spectral signatures that are further discussed.     

Theoretical studies of organometallic compounds. II. All electron and pseudopotential calculations of M(CH3)nCl4 − n (M = C,Si, Ge,Sn, Pb; n = 0–4)

The performance of effective core potentials (ECP) for the main group elements of group IV has been studied by calculating the geometries and reaction energies of isodesmic reactions for the molecules M(CH₃)_nCl_{4 ? n} (M = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb; n = 0–4) at the Hartree–Fock level of theory. The results are compared with data from all electron calculations and experimental results as far as available. The all electron calculations were performed with a 3-21G(d) and a 6-31G(d) basis set for Si, a (43321/4321/41) basis set for Ge, and a (433321/43321/431) basis set for Sn. For the ECP calculations the potentials developed by Hay and Wadt with a configuration (n)s^a(n)p^b and the valence basis set (21/21), extended by a set of d functions, are employed. © 1992 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Infrared spectra and electronic structure calculations for the group 2 metal M(OH)2 dihydroxide molecules

Reactions of laser-ablated Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba atoms with O2 and H2 in excess argon give new absorptions in the O-H and O-M-O stretching regions, which increase together upon UV photolysis and are due to the M(OH)2 molecules (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba). The same product absorptions are observed in the metal atom reactions with H2O2. The M(OH)2 identifications are supported by isotopic substitution and theoretical calculations (B3LYP and MP2). The O-H stretching frequencies of the alkaline earth metal dihydroxide molecules decrease from 3829.8 to 3784.6 to 3760.6 to 3724.2 cm(-1) in the family series in solid argon, while the base strength of the solid compounds increases. Calculations show that Sr(OH)2 and Ba(OH)2 are bent at the metal center, owing to d orbital involvement in the bonding. Although these molecules are predominantly ionic, the O-H stretching frequencies do not reach the ionic limit of gaseous OH- going down the family group because of cation-anion polarization and p(pi) --> d(pi) interactions.     

Reactions between M+ (M = Si,Ge, Sn and Pb) and benzene in the gas phase

Using a laser ablation/inert buffer gas ion source coupled with a reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer, the gas-phase reactions between the IVA group element ions M(+) (M = Si, Ge, Sn and Pb) and benzene seeded in argon gas were studied. In addition to the association reaction pathway (forming [M(C(6)H(6))(x)](+), x = 1, 2, etc.), benzene was dissociated to form complex ions [M(C(5)H(5))](+), [M(C(7)H(5))](+) and [M(C(9)H(x))](+) (x = 5, 7 and 9), etc. DFT theoretical calculations indicated that, in the association products [M(C(6)H(6))](+), the M atom is close to one carbon atom of benzene, while in most of the dissociation complexes, pentagonal structures (M/cyclopentadienyl derivatives) were formed, with the M atom situated near the fivefold axis of the five-membered ring. The bond patterns in these complexes are discussed.     

Synthesis and structures of M[N(TePPri2)2-Te,Te']n (n = 2, M = Zn, Cd, Hg; n = 3, M = Sb, Bi): the first ditelluroimidodiphosphinato p- and d-block metal complexes

Reactions of Na[N(TePPri2)2] with the appropriate metal halide produce the air-stable complexes M[N(TePPri2)2-Te,Te']n (n = 2, M = Zn, Cd, Hg; n = 3, M = Sb, Bi), which adopt distorted tetrahedral (M = Zn, Cd, Hg) and octahedral (M = Sb, Bi) structures, respectively.     

Synthesis, Reactivity, and Structural Characterization of the Nonclassical [MTe(7)](n)()(-) Anions (M = Ag, Au, n = 3; M = Hg, n = 2)

Several tellurometalates of the general formula [MTe(7)](n)()(-) (n = 2, 3) have been isolated as salts of organic cations by reaction of suitable metal sources with polytelluride solutions in DMF. The [HgTe(7)](2)(-) anion has the same structure in both the NEt(4)(+) and the PPh(4)(+) salts except for a minor change in the ligand conformation. The [AgTe(7)](3)(-) and [HgTe(7)](2)(-) anions contain metal atoms coordinated in trigonal-planar fashion to eta(3)-Te(7)(4)(-) ligands. The central Te atom of an eta(3)-Te(7)(4)(-) ligand is coordinated to the metal atom and to two Te atoms in a "T"-shaped geometry consistent with a hypervalent 10 e(-) center. The planar [AuTe(7)](3)(-) anion may best be described as possessing a square-planar Au(III) atom coordinated to an eta(3)-Te(5)(4)(-) ligand and to an eta(1)-Te(2)(2)(-) ligand. The reaction of [NEt(4)](n)()[MTe(7)] (M = Hg, n = 2; M = Au, n = 3) with the activated acetylene dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) has yielded the products [NEt(4)](n)()[M(Te(2)C(2)(COOCH(3))(2))(2)] (M = Hg, n = 2; M = Au, n = 1). The metal atoms are coordinated to two Te(COOCH(3))C=C(COOCH(3))Te(2)(-) ligands, for M = Hg in a distorted tetrahedral fashion and for M = Au in a square-planar fashion.
