Ferrocenyl-functionalized tetranuclear gold(I) and gold(I)-copper(I) complexes based on tridentate phosphanes
2013
Tetranuclear AuI–FeII dimetallic and AuI–CuI–FeII trimetallic complexes bearing ferrocenyl (Fc) groups have been assembled by using two triphosphane ligands, namely, (PPh2CH2)2PPh (dpmp) and (PPh2)3CH (tppm). The compositions and structural type of the clusters are dependent on the stereochemistry of the P donor ligands. The complexes [tppmAu3Cu(C2R)3]PF6 [R = Fc (1) and 4-C6H4-Fc (2)] adopt a trigonal pyramidal {Au3Cu} arrangement of the coordinating metal core, whereas for the compounds with the linear triphosphane [Au4(dpmp)2(C2R)2](PF6)2 [R = Fc (3) and 4-C6H4-Fc (4)], a planar rhomboidal {Au4} framework was found. Clusters 1–4 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS measureme…
Energetics of hydride and electron pair attachment to EX30/+ (E=B, C, Al, Si and X=F, Cl, Br, I) and the study of bonding trends among EX30/+, EX32−/…

Abstract A theoretical gas-phase “ligand-free” or “electron pair affinity” (EPA) approach, based on CCSD(T)/(SDB-)cc-pVTZ//MP2/(SDB-)cc-pVTZ electronic structure calculations, is introduced as a possible means for determining Lewis acidity trends among planar EX30/+ (E = B, C, Al, Si; X = F, Cl, Br, I) species. In this treatment, the free electron pair is considered to be an extreme Lewis base. The calculated EPA values are compared with experimental Lewis acidities, previously calculated fluoride ion affinity (FIA) and hydride ion affinity (HA) trends, and are found to exhibit reasonable correlations in all cases. The bonding in the planar and trigonal pyramidal conformations of EX30/+ and…
