Synthesis, crystal structure and characterization of new transition metal compounds of bromophenols: Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenolato) di(N-methylimidazole)M(II) (M=Co, Cu)

CRYSTAL RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 3 2005
P. Camurlu
Abstract Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenolato)di(N-methyl imidazole)M(II), where M stands for cobalt and copper metals, was synthesized via reaction of the corresponding metal sulphate and 2,4,6-tribromophenolate in aqueous media in the presence of N-methyl imidazole and sodium hydroxide. Although various crystallization procedures were applied only cobalt complex was obtained as single crystals. The Co(II) ion has a distorted octahedral enviroment involving two O atoms and two N atoms of the Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenolato)di(N-methyl imidazole) ligand. Powder x-ray diffraction pattern of copper compound was used for cooper complex. For characterizations of complexes carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen elemental analysis, FTIR and UV spectroscopy, DSC thermal analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements at room temperature were performed.

Improved third-order Møller,Plesset perturbation theory

JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Issue 13 2003
Stefan Grimme
Abstract Based on a partitioning of the total correlation energy into contributions from parallel- and antiparallel-spin pairs of electrons, a modified third-order Møller,Plesset (MP) perturbation theory is developed. The method, termed SCS,MP3 (SCS for spin-component-scaled) continues previous work on an improved version of MP2 (S. Grimme, J Chem Phys 2003, 118, 9095). A benchmark set of 32 isogyric reaction energies, 11 atomization energies, and 11 stretched geometries is used to assess to performance of the model in comparison to the standard quantum chemical approaches MP2, MP3, and QCISD(T). It is found, that the new method performs significantly better than usual MP2/MP3 and even outperforms the more costly QCISD method. Opposite to the usual MP series, the SCS third-order correction uniformly improves the results. Dramatic enhancements are especially observed for the more difficult atomization energies, some of the stretched geometries, and reaction and ionization energies involving transition metal compounds where the method seems to be competitive or even superior to the widely used density functional approaches. Further tests performed for other complex systems (biradicals, C20 isomers, transition states) demonstrate that the SCS,MP3 model yields often results of QCISD(T) accuracy. The uniformity with which the new approach improves for very different correlation problems indicates significant robustness, and suggests it as a valuable quantum chemical method of general use. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Density functional theory studies on the dissociation energies of metallic salts: relationship between lattice and dissociation energies

JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2001
Chang Kon Kim
Abstract The formation and physicochemical properties of polymer electrolytes strongly depend on the lattice energy of metal salts. An indirect but efficient way to estimate the lattice energy through the relationship between the heterolytic bond dissociation and lattice energies is proposed in this work. The heterolytic bond dissociation energies for alkali metal compounds were calculated theoretically using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) of B3LYP level with 6-311+G(d,p) and 6-311+G(2df,p) basis sets. For transition metal compounds, the same method was employed except for using the effective core potential (ECP) of LANL2DZ and SDD on transition metals for 6-311+G(d,p) and 6-311+G(2df,p) calculations, respectively. The dissociation energies calculated by 6-311+G(2df,p) basis set combined with SDD basis set were better correlated with the experimental values with average error of ca. ±1.0% than those by 6-311+G* combined with the LANL2DZ basis set. The relationship between dissociation and lattice energies was found to be fairly linear (r>0.98). Thus, this method can be used to estimate the lattice energy of an unknown ionic compound with reasonably high accuracy. We also found that the dissociation energies of transition metal salts were relatively larger than those of alkaline metal salts for comparable ionic radii. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Prediction of a conducting hard ductile cubic IrC

PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI - RAPID RESEARCH LETTERS, Issue 8-9 2010
Zhisheng Zhao
Abstract Nine IrC structures were investigated using ab initio calculations based on the structures of known transition metal compounds. The calculations indicated that zinc blende structured IrC (ZB,IrC) is not only the most energetically stable, but also mechanically and dynamically stable at the ground state. Further studies showed that ZB,IrC is a conducting hard ductile material that is expected to be experimentally synthesized like cubic PtC and RuC. (© 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Bond catastrophes in rhodium complexes: experimental charge-density studies of [Rh(C7H8)(PtBu3)Cl] and [Rh(C7H8)(PCy3)Cl]

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION B, Issue 5 2010
Hazel A. Sparkes
Rhodium complexes have potential uses in both catalysis and promoting the cleavage of C,C bonds. In order to further our understanding of these species and their potential applications, it is vital to obtain insight into the bonding within the species, particularly the Rh,C interactions, and to this end experimental charge-density studies have been undertaken on the title complexes. High-resolution single-crystal datasets to sin,,/, = 1.06,Å,1 were obtained at 100,K and analysed using Bader's `Atoms in Molecules' (AIM) approach. The results of the studies have provided unique insights into the bonding involving rhodium and highlight the importance of undertaking such investigations for transition metal compounds. [source]


Silane reduction of onium salts

APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 3 2010
James V. Crivello
Abstract Novel redox initiators for cationic polymerizations were developed consisting of an onium salt together with a SiH functional silane or siloxane. The reduction of the onium salt by the silane is catalyzed by noble metal complexes or certain transition metal compounds and takes place spontaneously at room temperature. The redox reaction of the onium salt with the silane results in the liberation of a strong Brønsted acid that can be subsequently used to initiate cationic polymerizations. Typical onium salts that have been employed in these redox initiator systems are diaryliodonium salts, triarylsulfonium salts and S,S -dialkyl- S -phenacylsulfonium salts. Studies of the effects of variations in the structures of the onium salt, the silane and the type of noble metal catalyst were carried out. In principle, the redox initiator systems are applicable to all types of cationically polymerizable monomers and oligomers, including the ring-opening polymerizations of such heterocyclic monomers as epoxides and oxetanes and, in addition, the polymerization of vinyl monomers such as vinyl ethers, N -vinylcarbazole and styrenic monomers. The use of these novel initiator systems for carrying out commercially attractive crosslinking polymerizations for coatings, composites and encapsulations is discussed.

Characteristic reactions of group 9 transition metal compounds in organic synthesis

APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 3 2009
Iwao Omae
Abstract Group 9 metal compounds in organic synthesis have two characteristic reactions. The first occurs because the group 9 metals have a high affinity to carbon,carbon or carbon,nitrogen ,-bonds. The first type of characteristic reactions in these group 9 metal compounds includes Pauson,Khand reactions, the Pauson,Khand-type reactions ([2 + 2 + 1] cyclization), the other cyclizations and coupling reactions. The second occurs because the group 9 metals have a high affinity to carbonyl groups. The second type of characteristic reactions includes carbonylations such as hydroformylations, the carbonylations of methanol, amidocarbonylations and other carbonylations. The first characteristic reactions are applied for the synthesis of fine chemicals such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, the second characteristic reactions are utilized not only for fine chemicals but also for important bulk commodity chemicals such as aldehydes, carboxylic acids and alcohols.

Three characteristic reactions of alkynes with metal compounds in organic synthesis

APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 3 2008
Iwao Omae
Abstract Alkynes have two sets of mutually orthogonal ,-bonds that are different from the ,-bonds of alkenes. These ,-bonds are able to bond with transition metal compounds. Alkynes easily bond with the various kinds of compounds having a ,-bond such as carbon monoxide, alkenes, other alkynes and nitriles in the presence of the transition metal compounds. The most representative reaction of alkynes is called the Pauson,Khand reaction. The Pauson,Khand reactions include the cyclization of alkynes with alkenes and carbon monoxide in the presence of cobalt carbonyls. Similar Pauson,Khand reactions also proceed in the presence of other transition metal compounds. These reactions are the first type of characteristic reaction of alkynes. Other various kinds of cyclizations with alkynes also proceed in the presence of the transition metal compounds. These reactions are the second type of characteristic reaction of alkynes. These include cyclooligomerizations and cycloadditions. The cyclooligomerizations include mainly cyclotrimerizations and cyclotetramerizations, and the cycloadditions are [2 + 2], [2 + 2 + 1], [2 + 2 + 2], [3 + 2], [4 + 2], etc., type cycloadditions. Alkynes are fairly reactive because of the high s character of their ,-bonds. Therefore, simple coupling reactions with alkynes also proceed besides the cyclizations. The coupling reactions are the third type of characteristic reactions of alkynes in the presence of, mainly, the transition metal compounds. These reactions include carbonylations, dioxycarbonylations, Sonogashira reactions, coupling reactions with aldehydes, ketones, alkynes, alkenes and allyl compounds.
