A Density Functional Study of Open-Shell Cyclopentadienyl−Molybdenum(II) Complexes. A Comparison of Stabilizing Factors: Spin-Pairing, Mo−X π Bonding…
2000
International audience; The dissociation of PH3 from the 18-electron system CpMoX(PH3)3 to afford the corresponding 16-electron CpMoX(PH3)2 fragment has been investigated theoretically by density functional theory for X = H, CH3, F, Cl, Br, I, OH, and PH2. The product is found to prefer a triplet spin state for all X ligands except PH2, the singlet−triplet gap varying between 1.7 kcal/mol for OH to 8.7 kcal/mol for F. The Mo−PH3 bond dissociation energy to the 16-electron ground state varies dramatically across the series, from 4.5 kcal/mol for OH to 23.5 kcal/mol for H, and correlates with experimental observations on trisubstituted phosphine derivatives. Geometry-optimized spin doublet Cp…
Activation of the Cyano Group at Imidazole via Copper Stimulated Alcoholysis
2019
Reactions of 4,5-dicyano-1-methylimidazole with CuX2 (X = Cl, Br) in alcohol solvents (ethanol and methanol) resulted in the formation of Cu(II) carboximidate complexes [CuCl2(5- cyano-4-C(OEt)N-1-methylimidazole)(EtOH)] (1), [Cu2(µ
Valence Topological Charge-Transfer Indices for Reflecting Polarity: Correction for Heteromolecules
2005
Valence topological charge-transfer (CT) indices are applied to the calculation of dipole moments mu. The mu calculated by algebraic and vector semisums of the CT indices are defined. The model is generalized for molecules with heteroatoms and corrected for sp(3)-heteromolecules. The ability of the indices for the description of the molecular charge distribution is established by comparing them with mu of the valence-isoelectronic series of cyclopentadiene, benzene and styrene. Two CT indices, mu(vec) (vector semisum of vertex-pair mu) and mu(vec)V (valence mu(vec)) are proposed. The mu(vec) behaviour is intermediate between mu(vec) and mu(experiment). The correction is produced in the corr…
Dispersion Forces and Counterintuitive Steric Effects in Main Group Molecules: Heavier Group 14 (Si-Pb) Dichalcogenolate Carbene Analogues with Sub-9…
2013
The synthesis and spectroscopic and structural characterization of an extensive series of acyclic, monomeric tetrylene dichalcogenolates of formula M(ChAr)2 (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb; Ch = O, S, or Se; Ar = bulky m-terphenyl ligand, including two new acyclic silylenes) are described. They were found to possess several unusual features-the most notable of which is their strong tendency to display acute interligand, Ch-M-Ch, bond angles that are often well below 90°. Furthermore, and contrary to normal steric expectations, the interligand angles were found to become narrower as the size of the ligand was increased. Experimental and structural data in conjunction with high-level DFT calculations, in…
DFT studies of COOH tip-functionalized zigzag and armchair single wall carbon nanotubes
2011
Structure and energy calculations of pristine and COOH-modified model single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) of different length were performed at B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. From 1 to 9 COOH groups were added at the end of the nanotube. The differences in structure and energetics of partially and fully functionalized SWCNTs at one end of the nanotube are observed. Up to nine COOH groups could be added at one end of (9,0) zigzag SWCNT in case of full functionalization. However, for (5,5) armchair SWCNT, the full functionalization was impossible due to steric crowding and rim deformation. The dependence of substituent attachment energy on the number of substituents at the carbon nanotube ri…
An ab initio study of the enolboration of 3-pentanone mediated by boron monochlorides L2BCl
2001
Abstract Using ab initio methods at the HF/6-31G∗∗ level, we have studied the mechanism of the enolboration of 3-pentanone mediated by boron monochlorides L2BCl (L=H, methyl and isopropyl) and trimethyl amine. The size of the L group has been found to have a decisive influence on the configuration (E or Z) of the formed boron enolate. Thus, whereas our calculations predict that dimethylboron chloride yields the Z enolate with high stereoselectivity, diisopropylboron chloride is found to yield predominantly the E enolate. The difference in behavior is due mainly to steric features related to the conformational bias of the respective ketone–boron chloride complexes formed reversibly in the fi…
Donor-π-Acceptor Species Derived from Functionalised 1,3-Dithiol-2-ylidene Anthracene Donor Units Exhibiting Photoinduced Electron Transfer Propertie…
1998
Steric interactions between the anthraquinoid core and the 1,3-dithiole and dicyanomethylene groups play a key role in determining the physical properties of system 1. The intramolecular charge transfer properties of this donor–π-acceptor species have been explored and cyclic voltammetric data, X-ray crystal structures and ab initio calculations are also reported.
Ag44(EBT)26(TPP)4Nanoclusters With Tailored Molecular and Electronic Structure
2021
Although atomically precise metalloid nanoclusters (NCs) of identical size with distinctly different molecular structures are highly desirable to understand the structural effects on the optical and photophysical properties, their synthesis remains highly challenging. Herein, we employed phosphine and thiol capping ligands featuring appropriate steric effects and synthesized a charge-neutral Ag NC with the formula Ag44 (EBT)26 (TPP)4 (EBT: 2-ethylbenzenethiolate; TPP: triphenylphosphine). The single-crystal X-ray structure reveals that this NC has a hollow metal core of Ag12 @Ag20 and a metal-ligand shell of Ag12 (EBT)26 (TPP)4 . The presence of mixed ligands and long V-shaped metal-ligand …
Impact of the use of sterically congested Ir(III) complexes on the performance of light-emitting electrochemical cells
2018
International audience; The synthesis, structural and optoelectronic characterization of a family of sterically congested cyclometalated cationic Ir(iii) complexes of the form [Ir(C^N)2(dtBubpy)]PF6 (with dtBubpy = 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine and C^N = a cyclometalating ligand decorated at the 4-position of the pyridine ring and/or the 3-position of the phenyl ring with a range of sterically bulky substituents) are reported. This family of complexes is compared to the unsubstituted analogue complex R1 bearing 2-phenylpyridinato as cyclometalating ligand. The impact of sterically bulky substituents on the C^N ligands on both the solid state photophysics and light-emitting electrochemi…
Synthesis, crystal and molecular-electronic structure, and kinetic investigation of two new sterically hindered isomeric forms of the dimethyl[methyl…
2017
Two new structural isomers – 2,4-dimethyl-5-[methyl(phenylsulfonyl)amino]benzenesulfonyl chloride (1) and 2,4-dimethyl-3-[methyl(phenylsulfonyl)amino]benzenesulfonyl chloride (2) were synthesized by interaction of N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-N-methyl-benzenesulfonamide or N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide with chlorosulfonic acid. Both compounds have been structurally characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction at 100 K. The crystals of 1 are triclinic: space group View the MathML source, a = 8.1542(2), b = 11.0728(3), c = 11.2680(3) Å, α = 116.557(3), β = 95.155(2), γ = 108.258(2)°, V = 831.97(4) Å3, Z = 2, R = 0.0251 for 2429 reflections; the crystals of 2 are monoclinic:…
