Stability of isomerous chelates in M(II)-thiocarbamoylmethanamide-ethandial systems according to the DFT B3LYP method (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)

Calculations of the optimal geometry and standard thermodynamic parameters of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) isomerous macrotricyclic complexes with MN₂O₂, MN₂S₂, and MN₄ chelate bonds, which can in principle appear as a result of template processes between gelatine-immobilized hexacyanoferrates (II) of corresponding M(II) metal ions, thiocarbamoylmethaneamide (thiooxamide) H₂N-C(=S)-C(=O)-NH₂, and ethanedial HC(=O)-CH(=O), were performed according to the B3LYP hybrid density functional method using a 6-31G(d) basis set with the Gaussian 98 program. It was found that of all of the considered M(II), the most stable are complexes with MN₄ chelate bonds, where the values of a standard enthalpy Δ_f H ₂₉₈^o and a standard Gibbs energy, Δ_f G ^o for all complexes studied are positive.
