Does the molecular structure of CaH2 affect the dihydrogen bonding in CaH2 … HY (Y = CH3, C2H3, C2H, CN, and NC) complexes? A quantum chemistry study using MP2 and B3LYP methods

Second-order M ller-Plesset(MP2) and density functional theory(DFT) calculations have been carried out in order to investigate the structures and properties of dihydrogen-bonded CaH 2 HY(Y = CH 3,C 2 H 3,C 2 H,CN,and NC) complexes.Our calculations revealed two possible structures for CaH 2 in CaH 2 HY complexes:linear(I) and bent(II).The bond lengths,interaction energies,and strengths for H H interactions obtained by both MP2 and B3LYP methods are quite close to each other.It was found that the interaction energy decreases with increasing electron density at the Ca-H bond critical point.Atom-in-molecule(AIM) results show that for all of Ca-H H-Y interactions considered here,the Laplacian of the electron density at the H H bond critical point is positive,indicating the electrostatic nature of these Ca-H H-Y dihydrogen bonded systems.     

Theoretical Studies on the Intermonomer Interaction of F~-·(H_2O)_n (n = 1, 2)

1 INTRODUCTION Hydrogen bond plays an important role in the fields of physics, biology and chemistry. It has cap- tured the interest of chemists for a long time and reports about its theory and experiment have been well represented[1～6]. Concerning its theoretical inves- tigations, most of the emphases are placed on the weak interaction energy of intramolecular hydrogen bond. But studies on its spectrum behavior are rela- tively rare. These years spectrum behavior led by hydrogen bond h…

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Luminescent Property of [Zn(C12H9O3)2(C10H8N2)]n·nH2O

Under hydrothermal condition, the reaction of 2-naphthoxyacetic acid with ZnCl2 and 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy)has afforded a new Zn(Ⅱ) compound,[Zn(C12H9O3)2(C10H8N2)]n·nH2O1, which was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal is of monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 7.7335(2), b = 19.3834(4), c = 20.1707(4) (A), β =104.9830(10)°, V = 2920.82(11) A3, C34H28ZnN2O7, Mr = 641.95, Z = 4, Dc = 1.460 g/cm3, μ = 0.895 mm-1, F(000) = 1328, R = 0.0406 and wR = 0.0876 for 4417 observed reflections (Ⅰ>2σ(Ⅰ)). Complex 1 consists of one-dimensional zigzag chains deriving from Zn(C12H9O3)2 units linked by 4,4'-bipy ligands, and lattice water molecules decorate between the chains. Non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen-bonding and aromatic π-π interactions, lead to the formation of a 3D network structure. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and luminescent property for 1 have also been studied in this paper.     

Importance of halogen···halogen contacts for the structural and magnetic properties of CuX2(pyrazine-N,N′-dioxide)(H2O)2 (X = Cl and Br)

The structural and magnetic properties of the newly crystallized CuX(2)(pyzO)(H(2)O)(2) (X = Cl, Br; pyzO = pyrazine-N,N'-dioxide) coordination polymers are reported. These isostructural compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c with, at 150 K, a = 17.0515(7) ?, b = 5.5560(2) ?, c = 10.4254(5) ?, β = 115.400(2)°, and V = 892.21(7) ?(3) for X = Cl and a = 17.3457(8) ?, b = 5.6766(3) ?, c = 10.6979(5) ?, β = 115.593(2)°, and V = 950.01(8) ?(3) for X = Br. Their crystal structure is characterized by one-dimensional chains of Cu(2+) ions linked through bidentate pyzO ligands. These chains are joined together through OH···O hydrogen bonds between the water ligands and pyzO oxygen atoms and Cu-X···X-Cu contacts. Bulk magnetic susceptibility measurements at ambient pressure show a broad maximum at 7 (Cl) and 28 K (Br) that is indicative of short-range magnetic correlations. The dominant spin exchange is the Cu-X···X-Cu supersuperexchange because the magnetic orbital of the Cu(2+) ion is contained in the CuX(2)(H(2)O)(2) plane and the X···X contact distances are short. The magnetic data were fitted to a Heisenberg 1D uniform antiferromagnetic chain model with J(1D)/k(B) = -11.1(1) (Cl) and -45.9(1) K (Br). Magnetization saturates at fields of 16.1(3) (Cl) and 66.7(5) T (Br), from which J(1D) is determined to be -11.5(2) (Cl) and -46.4(5) K (Br). For the Br analog the pressure dependence of the magnetic susceptibility indicates a gradual increase in the magnitude of J(1D)/k(B) up to -51.2 K at 0.84 GPa, suggesting a shortening of the Br···Br contact distance under pressure. At higher pressure X-ray powder diffraction data indicates a structural phase transition at ～3.5 GPa. Muon-spin relaxation measurements indicate that CuCl(2)(pyzO)(H(2)O)(2) is magnetically ordered with T(N) = 1.06(1) K, while the signature for long-range magnetic order in CuBr(2)(pyzO)(H(2)O)(2) was much less definitive down to 0.26 K. The results for the CuX(2)(pyzO)(H(2)O)(2) complexes are compared to the related CuX(2)(pyrazine) materials.

Vibrational manifestations of strong non-Condon effects in the H3O(+)·X3 (X = Ar, N2, CH4, H2O) complexes: a possible explanation for the intensity in the "association band" in the vibrational spectrum of water

The harmonic approximation provides a powerful approach for interpreting vibrational spectra. In this treatment, the energy and intensity of the 3N- 6 normal modes are calculated using a quadratic expansion of the potential energy and a linear expansion of the dipole moment surfaces, respectively. In reality, transitions are often observed that are not accounted for by this approach (e.g. combination bands, overtones, etc.), and these transitions arise from inherent anharmonicities present in the system. One interesting example occurs in the vibrational spectrum of H(2)O((l)), where a band is observed near 2000 cm(-1) that is commonly referred to as the "association band". This band lies far from the expected bend and stretching modes of the water molecule, and is not recovered at the harmonic level. In a recent study, we identified a band in this spectral region in gas-phase clusters involving atomic and molecular adducts to the H(3)O(+) ion. In the current study we probe the origins of this band through a systematic analysis of the argon-predissociation spectra of H(3)O(+)·X(3) where X = Ar, CH(4), N(2) or H(2)O, with particular attention to the contributions from the non-linearities in the dipole surfaces, often referred to as non-Condon effects. The spectra of the H(3)O(+) clusters all display strong transitions between 1900-2100 cm(-1), and theoretical modeling indicates that they can be assigned to a combination band involving the HOH bend and frustrated rotation of H(3)O(+) in the solvent cage. This transition derives its oscillator strength entirely from strong non-Condon effects, and we discuss its possible relationship to the association band in the spectrum of liquid water.     

Weak interactions in ion–ligand complexes of C3H3(+) isomers: competition between H-bound and C-bound structures in c-C3H3(+)·L and H2CCCH(+)·L (L = Ne, Ar, N2, CO2, and O2)

Explicitly correlated coupled cluster theory at the CCSD(T)-F12x level (T. B. Adler, G. Knizia, and H.-J. Werner, J. Chem. Phys.127, 221106, 2007) has been employed to study structures and vibrations of complexes of type c-C(3)H(3)(+)·L and H(2)C(3)H(+)·L (L = Ne, Ar, N(2), CO(2), and O(2)). Both cations have different binding sites, allowing for the formation of weak to moderately strong hydrogen bonds as well as "C-bound" or "π-bound" structures. In contrast to previous expectations, the energetically most favourable structures of all H(2)C(3)H(+)·L complexes investigated are "C-bound", with the ligand bound to the methylenic carbon atom. The theoretical predictions enable a more detailed interpretation of infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectra than was possible hitherto. In particular, the bands observed in the range 3238-3245 cm(-1) (D. Roth and O. Dopfer, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys.4, 4855, 2002) are assigned to essentially free acetylenic CH stretching vibrations of the propargyl cation in "C-bound" H(2)C(3)H(+)·L complexes.     

Theoretical Study on the Structure and Stability of Si5X （X = Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl） Clusters

1 INTRODUCTION In the later 60s of last century, silicon substituted for germanium to present as mainstream in semicon- ductor. The semi-conductive devices made by silicon have many advantages, for example, refractory pro- perty, high radioresistance, simple and stable process- ing technic, high machinability and low cost. So it was widely used to manufacture large power appara- tuses, for instance, digit and linear integrated circuit, large scale integrated circuit (LSI), etc. Thus, th…     

Synthesis and structure of bismuth complexes [Ph3MeP] 2 + [BiI3.5Br1.5(C5H5N)]2− · C5H5N, [Ph4Bi] 4 + [Bi4I16]4− · 2Me2C=O, and [Ph3(iso-Am)P] 4 + [Bi8I28]4− · 2Me2C=O

Complexes [Ph₃MeP] ₂ ⁺ [BiI_3.5Br_1.5(C₅H₅N)]^2? · C₅H₅N(I), [Ph₄Bi] ₄ ⁺ [Bi₄I₁₆]^4? · 2Me₂C=O (II), and [Ph₃(iso-Am)P] ₄ ⁺ [Bi₈I₂₈]^4? · 2Me₂C=O (III) were synthesized by reactions of bismuth iodide with triphenylmethylphosphonium bromide, triphenylbismuthonium sulfosalicylate, and triphenylisoamylphosphonium iodide, respectively. The crystal structures of complexes I–III were determined by X-ray crystallography. The complexes contain, in addition to cations and solvent molecules, mono-, tetra-, and octanuclear anions, in which bismuth atoms are in octahedral coordination.     

Luminescence properties of complexes Ln(Phen)(C6F5COO)3 (Ln = Tb, Eu) and Ln(C6F5COO)3 · nH2O (Ln = Tb, n = 2; Ln = Eu, n = 1). Structures of the [Tb2(H2O)8(C6F5COO)6] complex and its isomer in the supramolecular compound [Tb2(H2O)8(C6F5COO)6] · 2C6F5COOH

Complexes Ln(Phen)(C₆F₅COO)₃ (Ln = Tb, Eu; Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (I, II) are synthesized. At 300 K these complexes and compounds Ln(C₆F₅COO)₃ · nH₂O (Ln = Tb, n = 2; Ln = Eu, n = 1) (III, VI) possess photoluminescence (bright in the case of I and II). In the spectrum of compound I the line at 545 nm (transition ⁵ D ₄ → ⁷ F ₅) is most intense, whereas in the spectrum of compound II the most intense is the line at 613 nm (transition ⁵ D ₀ → ⁷ F ₂). The replacement of Phen by water decreases the luminescence intensity. The compound [Tb₂(H₂O)₈(C₆F₅COO)₆] · 2C₆F₅COOH (IV) is synthesized. According to the X-ray diffraction data, in structure IV the molecules of the binuclear Tb(III) complex with the C₆F₅COOH molecules form a supramolecular ensemble due to hydrogen bonding. The C₆F₅COO^? ligands perform the monodentate and bidentate bridging function, resulting in the opening of the eight-membered cycle Tb₂C₂O₄. The TbO₈ polyhedron is a distored tetragonal antiprism. The crystals of the binuclear complex [Tb₂(H₂O)₈(C₆F₅COO)₆] (V) are obtained in which the C₆F₅COO^? ligands are monodentate and tridentate bridging cyclic, which results in the closure of two four-membered cycles TbO₂C and one four-membered cycle Tb₂O₂. The TbO₉ polyhedron is a distorted monocapped tetragonal antiprism.     

Reactions of chromium(III) complexes with ferricyanide. Magnetism of K2[Cr(salen)(H2O)][Fe(CN)6]·H2O and the crystal structure of [trans-Cr(tn)2Cl2]3[Fe(CN)6]·6H2O [salen2− = N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneaminato) dianion,tn = 1,3-diaminopropane]

Two Cr^III–Fe^III complexes, K₂[Cr(salen)(H₂O)][Fe(CN)₆]·H₂O (1) and [trans-Cr(tn)₂Cl₂]₃[Fe(CN)₆]·6H₂O (2), have been prepared. Crystal structure determination shows that complex (2) possesses an ionic salt structure. General physical measurements and magnetic studies indicate that (1) assumes a cyanide-bridged dinuclear structure, and that the Cr^III–Fe^III magnetic coupling through the cyanide bridge is antiferromagnetic, which can be rationalized by the overlap of magnetic orbitals of the same symmetry.     

Host-guest supramolecular complexes of the composition [M{NH(CH2)4O}{S2CN(C2H5)2}2] · CHCl3 (M = Zn, 63Cu(II)): Synthesis, structure, spectral properties, and thermal behavior

Solvated forms of adducts [M{NH(CH₂)₄O}{S₂CN(C₂H₅)₂}₂] · CHCl₃ (M = Zn (I), ⁶³Cu (II)) are preparatively isolated. Nonequivalence of the dithiocarbamate groups in structure I is revealed by the ¹³C MAS NMR method. According to the X-ray analysis data, adduct I is a supramolecular compound, whose structure includes a system of ordered channels occupied by outer-sphere solvating guest molecules of CHCl₃ (structural type of lattice clathrates). The solvation of the initial adduct is accompanied by the structural unification of its isomeric forms and an increase in the strength of binding of the morpholine molecules and in the contribution of the trigonal-bipyramidal component to the geometry of the zinc polyhedron. The character of triaxial anisotropy of the EPR parameters of isotopically substituted compound II in the magnetically dilute state is due to the geometry of the copper polyhedron, which is intermediate between a tetragonal pyramid and a trigonal bipyramid with the ground state of an unpaired electron formed by mixing of the $3d_{x^2 - y^2 } $ - and $3d_{z^2 } $ -atomic orbitals (AO) of copper(II). The thermal destruction of compound I studied by simultaneous thermal analysis includes stages of desorption of solvating chloroform molecules and coordinated morpholine molecules and thermolysis of the ??dithiocarbamate part?? of the adduct.
