Theoretical Study of Rg·NO (Rg=He,Ne, Ar and Kr) Complexes

Rg·NO (Rg=He, Ne, Ar and Kr) complexes were studied using ab initio calculations. The neutral Rg·NO complex geometry and vibrational frequencies were calculated with the cc-pVDZ basis set at the CCSD(T) level of theory. The calculations show that the geometry of the Rg·NO complexes is a skewed T-shape with the Rg atom on the oxygen side of the NO molecule, and that the RgNO bond angle increases with mass. The dissociation energies (DE) and ionization energies (IE) of the neutral Rg·NO complexes, and the dissociation energies of Rg·NO+ ionic complexes were calculated using Gaussian-2 (G2) methods and a high accuracy energy model. The ionization energies of the neutral Rg·NO complexes range from 9.265 eV for He·NO to 9.132 eV for Kr·NO and the dissociation energies of Rg·NO+ range from 0.017 eV for He·NO+ to 0.156 eV for Kr·NO+, in line with the expectation based on the increasing polarizability of the Rg atom.     

Theoretical study of spectroscopy,interaction, and dissociation of linear and T-shaped isomers of RgClF (Rg = He,Ne, and Ar) van der Waals complexes

Spectroscopy, interaction energy, and dissociation of linear and T-shaped isomers of HeClF, NeClF, and ArClF van der Waals complexes in their ground state have been studied in detail using MP2 and CCSD(T) methods in conjunction with correlation consistent valence triple and quadruple zeta basis sets. A method, called potential method, has been developed to remove the discrepancy between theoretical and experimental values for the depth of the potential well and dissociation energies for these complexes. This is also supported by the supermolecular approach. Most of the structural and spectroscopic properties of these complexes are first reported and the rest agree very well with the experimental and theoretical values wherever available. Two local minima corresponding to linear and asymmetric T-shaped are found for RgClF complexes. For NeClF complex, the predicted values for the equilibrium bond length and well depth are R _NeCl = 3.096 Å and \( D_{\text{e}}^{\text{p}} \) = 161.50 cm^?1 for the linear isomer and R _NeCl = 3.503 Å and \( D_{\text{e}}^{\text{p}} \) = 126.10 cm^?1 for the T-shaped isomer. Various dissociation channels are also investigated in detail.     

Spectroscopy and dissociation of I<Subscript>2</Subscript>–Rg (Rg = Kr and Xe) van der Waals complexes

The spectroscopy and dissociation of I₂–Rg (Rg = Kr and Xe) van der Waals complexes have been studied in detail using MP2 and CCSD(T) methods in conjunction with the correlation-consistent triple-ζ and quadruple-ζ quality basis sets. The large-core Stuttgart–Dresden–Bonn (SDB) relativistic pseudopotential is used for all heavy elements. The dissociation energy and depth of the potential well have been calculated using potential method and supermolecular approach in order to remove the discrepancy among the existing theoretical and experimental values. Most of the spectroscopic properties are first reported, and the rest agree very well with the theoretical and experimental values wherever available.     

Ab initio calculation of structure and transport properties of He…X (X = Zn, Cd, Hg) van der Waals complexes

The ground state ab initio CCSD(T) potential curves using various basis sets (aug-cc-pVXZ-PP (X = D, T, Q, 5)) is obtained for the dimers of helium with IIb group metals. The effect of the position of the (mid) bond-functions on the interaction energy is discussed. A Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory decomposition of the interaction energy is provided and the trends in the dimer stabilizing and destabilizing contributions are depicted. The spline fitted potential curves are applied together with rigorous statistical formulae in order to obtain the transport coefficients (viscosity coefficients, diffusion coefficients) and the second virial coefficient both for pure constituents and mixtures. The obtained theoretical results are compared with available experimental data. Molecular dynamics is used to obtain reliable values of the diffusion coefficients for all the systems under study.     

Interactions of M(z)-X complexes (M = Cu, Ag, and Au; X = He, Ne, and Ar; and z = ±1)

The coupled cluster singles and doubles method with perturbative treatment of triple excitations is applied to calculate the potentials of M(z)-X complexes (M = Cu, Ag, and Au; X = He, Ne, and Ar; and z = ±1). The bond functions and the basis set superposition errors are considered to obtain accurate interaction energies. The potential energy curves of all complexes are obtained. The vibrational energy levels and the spectroscopic parameters for these complexes are determined. The analytical potential energy functions are also fitted based on the potential energies.

Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy of H(+)(H2O)6·M(m) (M = Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, H2, N2, and CH4): messenger-dependent balance between H3O(+) and H5O2(+) core isomers

Although messenger mediated spectroscopy is a widely-used technique to study gas phase ionic species, effects of messengers themselves are not necessarily clear. In this study, we report infrared photodissociation spectroscopy of H(+)(H(2)O)(6)·M(m) (M = Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, H(2), N(2), and CH(4)) in the OH stretch region to investigate messenger(M)-dependent cluster structures of the H(+)(H(2)O)(6) moiety. The H(+)(H(2)O)(6), the protonated water hexamer, is the smallest system in which both the H(3)O(+) (Eigen) and H(5)O(2)(+) (Zundel) hydrated proton motifs coexist. All the spectra show narrower band widths reflecting reduced internal energy (lower vibrational temperature) in comparison with bare H(+)(H(2)O)(6). The Xe-, CH(4)-, and N(2)-mediated spectra show additional band features due to the relatively strong perturbation of the messenger. The observed band patterns in the Ar-, Kr-, Xe-, N(2)-, and CH(4)-mediated spectra are attributed mainly to the "Zundel" type isomer, which is more stable. On the other hand, the Ne- and H(2)-mediated spectra are accounted for by a mixture of the "Eigen" and "Zundel" types, like that of bare H(+)(H(2)O)(6). These results suggest that a messenger sometimes imposes unexpected isomer-selectivity even though it has been thought to be inert. Plausible origins of the isomer-selectivity are also discussed.     

Helium cluster ions RgHe x + (Rg=Ne,Ar and Kr,x≦14) formed in a drift tube cooled by liquid helium

Rare gas ions Ne⁺, Ar⁺ and Kr⁺ are injected into a drift tube which is filled with helium gas and cooled by liquid helium. Helium cluster ions RgHe _x ⁺ (Rg=Ne, Ar and Kr,x≦14) are observed as products. Information regarding the stability of RgHe _x ⁺ is obtained from drift field dependence of the size distribution of the clusters, and magic numbers are determined. The magic numbers arex=11 and 13 for NeHe _x ⁺ andx=12 for ArHe _x ⁺ and KrHe _x ⁺ . NeHe _x ⁺ , Ar⁺ and Kr⁺ are proposed as the core ions for NeHe ₁₃ ⁺ , ArHe ₁₂ ⁺ and KrHe ₁₂ ⁺ , respectively.     

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.     

Zur physikalischen Interpretation der in Mehrelektronensystemen (He,H2 +, H2) auftretenden Kräfte

Zusammenfassung Die bei Mehrelektronenproblemen auftretenden Kräfte und Energien sind nicht nur z. B. für die Mehrelektronenspektren der Atome und Moleküle und für die Bewegung der Elektronen im Innern eines Metalls, sondern auch für das Zustandekommen derhomöopolaren chemischen Bindung wichtig. Es wird an einigen einfachen Beispielen klargestellt, was hieran schon vom Standpunkt der klassischen Physik aus zumindest qualitativ verständlich ist und wo man zu ihrer Erklärung die Quantenmechanik heranziehen muß. In diesem Sinne wird aufgezeigt, daß die Austauschkräfte rein elektrischer Natur sind, daß dagegen die Ladungsverteilung, die zu diesen Kräften führt, klassisch nicht vollständig verstanden werden kann.Mit 3 Abbildungen.     

Structure and Stability of Endohedral Complexes X @（HAlNH）12 （X = He, Ne, Ar, Kr）

1 INTRODUCTION The structure and property of endohedral com- plexes X@An have been well represented, including Fullerene structures with bigger volume, such as Ln3 @C60[1], Sc3N@C80[2] and Sc3N@C78[3], or metal cluster complexes of Al(Al13-)[4] and Ga(Ga13-)[5] with relatively smaller volume.

The Synthesis of the Arene Clusters Ru6C(CO)14(η6-Arene) (Arene = C6H5CHMe2, C6H5C4H9, C6H5C3H7, and C6H5C3H5)

On reaction with Ru₃(CO)₁₂, isopropenylbenzene and 4-phenyl-l-butene undergo hydrogenation, to yield the clusters, Ru₆C(CO)₁₄(⁶-C₆H₅CHMe₂) 1 and Ru₆C(CO)₁₄(⁶-C₆H₅C₄H₉) 2, respectively. With allylbenzene, both hydrogenation and isomerization occurs affording Ru₆C(CO)₁₄(⁶-C₆H₅C₃H₇) 3 and Ru₆C(CO)14(⁶-C₆H₅C₃H₅) 4. The structures of 1 and 2 have been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. One of the Ru–Ru bond lengths in 2 is unusually long and extended Hückel molecular orbital calculations have been used in an attempt to rationalize this feature.     

S···X halogen bonds and H···X hydrogen bonds in H2CS-XY (XY = FF, ClF, ClCl, BrF, BrCl, and BrBr) complexes: cooperativity and solvent effect

Using ab initio calculations, we have studied the structures, properties, and nature of halogen bonds in H(2)CS-XY (XY = FF, ClF, ClCl, BrF, BrCl, and BrBr) complexes. The results show that the ring-shaped complexes are formed by a halogen bond (S···X) and a secondary hydrogen bond (H···X). We also analyzed the H(2)CS-ClF-ClF and FCl-H(2)CS-ClF complexes to investigate the cooperative and diminutive halogen bonding. The cooperative effect of halogen bonding is found in the former, while the diminutive effect is present in the latter. We finally considered the solvent effect on the halogen bond in H(2)CS-BrCl complex and found that the solvent has a prominent enhancing effect on it. The complexes have also been analyzed with natural bond orbital, atoms in molecules, and symmetry adapted perturbation theory method.     

Is This a Chemical Bond? A Theoretical Study of Ng2@C60 (Ng=He,Ne, Ar,Kr, Xe)

Quantum-chemical calculations using DFT (BP86) and ab initio methods (MP2, SCS-MP2) have been carried out for the endohedral fullerenes Ng2@C60 (Ng=He-Xe). The nature of the interactions has been analyzed with charge- and energy-partitioning methods and with the topological analysis of the electron density (Atoms-in-Molecules (AIM)). The calculations predict that the equilibrium geometries of Ng2@C60 have D3d symmetry when Ng=Ne, Ar, Kr, while the energy-minimum structure of Xe2@C60 has D5d symmetry. The precession movement of He2 in He2@C60 has practically no barrier. The Ng--Ng distances in Ng2@C60 are much shorter than in free Ng2. All compounds Ng2@C60 are thermodynamically unstable towards loss of the noble gas atoms. The heavier species Ar2@C60, Kr2@C60, and Xe2@C60 are high energy compounds which are at the BSSE corrected SCS-MP2/TZVPP level in the range 96.7-305.5 kcal mol(-1) less stable than free C60+2 Ng. The AIM method reveals that there is always an Ng--Ng bond path in Ng2@C60. There are six Ng--C bond paths in (D3d) Ar2@C60, Kr2@C60, and Xe2@C60, whereas the lighter D3d homologues He2@C60 and Ne2@C60 have only three Ng--C2 paths. The calculated charge distribution and the orbital analysis clearly show that the bonding situation in Xe2@C60 significantly differs from those of the lighter homologues. The atomic partial charge of the [Xe2] moiety is +1.06, whereas the charges of the lighter dimers [Ng2] are close to zero. The a2u HOMO of (D3d) Xe2@C60 in the 1A1g state shows a large mixing of the highest lying occupied sigma* orbital of [Xe2] and the orbitals of the C60 cage. There is only a small gap between the a2u HOMO of Xe2@C60 and the eu LUMO and the a2u LUMO+1. The calculations show that there are several triplet states which are close in energy to each other and to the 1A1g state. The bonding analysis suggests that the interacting species in Xe2@C60 are the charged species Xe2q+ and C60q-, where 1相似文献   

Weak σ-Hole Triel Bond between C5H5Tr (Tr=B,Al, Ga) and Haloethyne: Substituent and Cooperativity Effects

The replacement of a CH group of benzene by a triel (Tr) atom places a positive region of electrostatic potential near the Tr atom in the plane of the aromatic ring. This σ-hole can interact with an X lone pair of XCCH (X=F, Cl, Br, and I) to form a triel bond (TrB). The interaction energy between C₅H₅Tr and FCCH lies in the range between 2.2 and 4.4 kcal/mol, in the order Tr=B<Ga<Al. This bond is strengthened by halogen substituents on the ring, particularly on the site adjacent to Tr. There is a much stronger strengthening trend as the F of the FCCH nucleophile is replaced by the heavier halogen atoms, rising up to 22 kcal/mol for ICCH. Adding a Li⁺ cation above the ring pulls density toward itself and thus magnifies the Tr σ-hole. The TrB to the XCCH nucleophile is thereby magnified as is the strength of the TrB. This positive cooperativity is particularly large for Tr=B.     

Influence of insertion of a noble gas atom on halogen bonding in H2O···XCCNgF and H3N···XCCNgF (X = Cl and Br; Ng = Ar, Kr, and Xe) complexes

The H₂O···XCCNgF and H₃N···XCCNgF (X = Cl and Br; Ng = Ar, Kr, and Xe) complexes have been studied with quantum chemical calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level. The results show that the inserted noble gas atom has an enhancing effect on the strength of halogen bond, and this enhancement is weakened with the increase of noble gas atomic number. The methyl and Li substituents in the electron donor strengthen the halogen bond. The interaction energy increases from ?3.75 kcal/mol in H₃N–BrCCF complex to ?9.66 kcal/mol in H₂LiN–BrCCArF complex. These complexes have been analyzed with atoms in molecules, natural bond orbital, molecular electrostatic potentials, and energy decomposition calculations.     

Density functional calculations of the structures and bond energies of Cr(CO)6 and (η6-C6H6) Cr(CO)2(CX) (X=O,S) complexes

Summary Quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory have been performed on Cr(CO)₆, (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₃ and (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₂(CS) at the local and nonlocal level of theory using different functionals. Good agreement is obtained with experiment for both optimized geometries and metal-ligand binding energies. In particular, a comparison of metal-arene bond energies calculated for the (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₃ and (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₂(CS) complexes correlates well with kinetic data demonstrating that substitution of one CO group by CS leads to an important labilizing effect of this bond, which may be primarily attributed to a larger -backbonding charge transfer to the CS ligand as compared with CO.     

Theoretical study on the M-H···π interactions between metal hydrides and inorganic benzene B3X3H3(X = O,S, Se)

In this work, we conducted ab initio calculations to evaluate the properties of M-H···π interactions between the metal hydrides MH (M?=?Li, Na, MgH, CaH, NiH, CuH, ZnH) and inorganic benzenes B₃X₃H₃ (X?=?O, S, Se). Unlike benzene, inorganic benzene B₃X₃H₃ (X?=?O, S, Se) supports a large area of positive molecular electrostatic potential above and below the molecule, which acts as a Lewis acid and interacts with the H atom of metal hydride. MP2/6–311++G(d, p) results show that these intermolecular interactions exhibit the characteristics of close shell noncovalent interactions. The electrostatic interaction significantly contributes to stabilizing the complexes. The M-H···π interaction’s strength is associated with the property of group VI atom and metal hydride. X’s atomic number decreasing and the H of MH becoming more negative facilitate stronger interaction. Furthermore, the addition of substituent on the B₃O₃Y₃ (Y?=?F, Cl, CN, OH, and CH₃) significantly impacts the π-hole of inorganic benzene and thus modulates these M-H···π interactions. More elongation and blueshift of the MH bonds upon complexation were found for electron-withdrawing substituents. Analysis of σ and π orbital separation indicates that the π-attractor’s position relative to the B atom in the inorganic benzene changes with different substituents. The M-H···π interaction’s strength is primarily dependent on the π-electron density, not σ-electron density.

     

How strong is the interaction between a noble gas atom and a noble metal atom in the insertion compounds MNgF (M=Cu and Ag, and Ng=Ar, Kr, and Xe)?

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been carried out to investigate the structure and the stability of noble gas insertion compounds of the type MNgF (M=Cu and Ag, and Ng=Ar, Kr, and Xe) through second order Moller-Plesset perturbation method. All the species are found to have a linear structure with a noble gas-noble metal bond, the distance of which is closer to the respective covalent bond length in comparison with the relevant van der Waals limit. The dissociation energies corresponding to the lowest energy fragmentation products, MF+Ng, have been found to be in the range of -231 to -398 kJ/mol. The respective barrier heights pertinent to the bent transition states (M-Ng-F bending mode) are quite high for the CuXeF and AgXeF species, although for the Ar and Kr containing species the same are rather low. Nevertheless the M-Ng bond length in MNgF compounds reported here is the smallest M-Ng bond ever predicted through any experimental or theoretical investigation, indicating strongest M-Ng interaction. All these species (except AgArF) are found to be metastable in their respective potential energy surface, and the dissociation energies corresponding to the M+Ng+F fragments have been calculated to be 30.1-155.3 kJ/mol. Indeed, in the present work we have demonstrated that the noble metal-noble gas interaction strength in MNgF species (with M=Cu and Ag, and Ng=Kr and Xe) is much stronger than that in NgMF systems. Bader's [Atoms in molecules-A Quantum Theory (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1990)] topological theory of atoms in molecules (AIM) has been employed to explore the nature of interactions involved in these systems. Geometric as well as energetic considerations along with AIM results suggest a partial covalent nature of M-Ng bonds in these systems. The present results strengthen our earlier work and further support the proposition on the possibility of experimental identification of this new class of insertion compounds of noble gas atoms containing noble gas-noble metal bond.
