A newly introduced Na−B bond in NaBH3− has been a challenge for the chemical bonding community. Here, a series of MBH3− (M=Li, Na, K) species and NaB(CN)3− are studied within the context of quantum chemical topology approaches. The analyses suggest that M–B interaction cannot be classified as an ordinary covalent, dative, or even simple ionic interaction. The interactions are controlled by coulombic forces between the metals and the substituents on boron, for example, H or CN, more than the direct M–B interaction. On the other hand, while the characteristics of the (3, −1) critical points of the bonds are comparable to weak hydrogen bonds, not covalent bonds, the metal and boron share a substantial sum of electrons. To the best of the author's knowledge, the characteristics of these bonds are unprecedented among known molecules. Considering all paradoxical properties of these bonds, they are herein described as ionic-enforced covalent bonds. 相似文献

The nature of bonding and aromaticity of Ti(3)(CO)(3), a mill-shaped metal-carbonyl complex, is studied carefully. A unique bonding mechanism between metal and carbonyl groups is found in this species. Ti(3)(CO)(3) is an example of a metal-carbonyl complex with prominent metal to carbonyl donation. Moreover, it is proven that not only is Ti(3)(CO)(3) not an antiaromatic complex but also it is the first synthesized example of d-block, σ+π aromatic species. A quick survey among the first row of transition metals in the periodic table shows that other local minima with similar structures and aromaticity are present and Ti(3)(CO)(3) is the first synthesized species of an unknown family. 相似文献

Currently, bonding analysis of molecules based on the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) is popular; however, “misinterpretations” of the QTAIM analysis are also very frequent. In this contribution the chemical relevance of the bond path as one of the key topological entities emerging from the QTAIM’s topological analysis of the one‐electron density is reconsidered. The role of nuclear vibrations on the topological analysis is investigated demonstrating that the bond paths are not indicators of chemical bonds. Also, it is argued that the detection of the bond paths is not necessary for the “interaction” to be present between two atoms in a molecule. The conceptual disentanglement of chemical bonds/interactions from the bonds paths, which are alternatively termed “line paths” in this contribution, dismisses many superficial inconsistencies. Such inconsistencies emerge from the presence/absence of the line paths in places of a molecule in which chemical intuition or alternative bonding analysis does not support the presence/absence of a chemical bond. Moreover, computational QTAIM studies have been performed on some “problematic” molecules, which were considered previously by other authors, and the role of nuclear vibrations on presence/absence of the line paths is studied demonstrating that a bonding pattern consistent with other theoretical schemes appears after a careful QTAIM analysis and a new “interpretation” of data is performed. 相似文献

The influence of presence of counter ions and π-complexation with benzene on the bonding and magnetic properties of Al(4)(2-), the most studied all-metal cluster, is studied here. It is shown that complexation by either counter ions or benzene decreases the delocalization index between Al atoms and the magnitude of bond magnetizability, that is a Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules, QTAIM, -based magnetic index of aromaticity. Benzene forms two types of π-complexes with the Al(4) framework; CH-π (T-shaped) complexes and parallel π-π stacking (PPS) complexes. It is shown that variation in the π-charge of the Al(4) framework affects the relative stability of the T-shaped/PPS complexes. Free Al(4)(2-) forms a stable T-shaped anion-π complex with benzene but in the presence of cations, formation of PPS complexes is more favourable, energetically. It is suggested that this property could be used for designing molecular switches and tuneable anion sensors. 相似文献

The influence of various all-electron basis sets and effective core potentials employed along with several DFT functionals (B3LYP, B3PW91, BLYP, BP86 and M06) on the magnitude of nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) values in different metallic nano-clusters and hydrocarbons is studied. In general, it is demonstrated that the NICS values are very sensitive to the applied method/basis set; however, the method/basis set dependence is more prominent for computed NICS values in transition metal clusters. In hydrocarbons, medium-size basis sets perform roughly similar to large basis sets in most cases. It is also found that NICS(0) values are more sensitive to the method/basis set variation compared to the NICS values computed at 1 or 2 ? above the ring plane. However, in many cases, no broad-spectrum regulation is found for the effect of basis set/method on the magnitude of NICS values. A detailed study showed that bond length alternation in a molecule has an insignificant effect on the magnitude of NICS values so the influence of method/basis sets on the magnitude of NICS values mostly arises from the different predicted ring current intensities at various computational levels. 相似文献

We investigated electronic energy-transfer dynamics in three model dimers within which coherent intramonomer nuclear motion had been induced by impulsive Raman excitation using an optimized, electronically preresonant control pulse. Calculations of the donor-survival probability, the ultrafast pump-probe signal, and the pump-probe difference signal are presented for dithia-anthracenophane and homodimers of 2-difluoromethylanthracene and 2-trifluoromethylanthracene. Survival probabilities and signals, along with phase-space analyses, elucidated the mechanisms, extent, and spectroscopic manifestations of external vibrational or torsional control over electronic excitation transfer. 相似文献

Interatomic magnetizability provides insight into the extent of electronic current density between two adjacent atomic basins. By studying a number of well-known aromatic, nonaromatic, and antiaromatic molecules, it is demonstrated that interatomic magnetizability (bond magnetizability) not only is able to verify the exact nature of aromaticity/antiaromaticity among different molecules, but also can distinguish the correct aromaticity order among sets of aromatic/antiaromatic molecules. The interatomic magnetizability is a direct measure of the current flux between two adjacent atomic basins and is the first QTAIM-derived index that evaluates aromaticity based on a response property, that is, magnetizability. Bond magnetizability is easy to compute, straightforward to interpret, and can be employed to evaluate the pure π- or σ-orbital contributions to magnetic aromaticity. 相似文献

The electron density versus NICS(zz) (the out-of-plane component of nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS)) scan for assessing magnetic aromaticity among similar molecules with different ring sizes is improved by scanning the Laplacian of electron density versus NICS(zz) to include molecules containing different types of atoms. It is demonstrated that the new approach not only reproduces the results of the previous method but also surpasses that in the case of species with different atom types. The relative positions of curves in the plots of the Laplacian of electron density versus NICS(zz) correlate well with the ring current intensities of these molecules both near and far from the ring planes of the considered molecules. Accordingly, relative magnetic aromaticity of a number of planar hydrocarbons and a group of double aromatic metallic/semimetallic species are studied and discussed. 相似文献

A model based on classical electrodynamics is used to measure the strength of ring currents of different molecular orbitals, i.e., σ- and π-orbitals, and characteristics of ring current loops, i.e., ring current radii and height of current loops above/below the ring planes, among a number of organic as well as inorganic molecules. For the π-current, the present model represents an improvement of previous approaches to determine ring current intensity. It is proven that the present model is more precise than previous models as they could not explain presence of the minimum in the plot of NICS(πzz) versus distance close to the ring plane. Variations in the charge of molecules and the types of constituent atoms of each species affect the ring current radii of both σ- and π-current loops as well as the height of π-current loops above/below the ring plane. It is suggested that variation in the distribution of the one-electron density in different systems is the main source of differences of the ring current characteristics. 相似文献
