[Xe(OTeF₅)(py^F)]⁺: a strong oxidizing xenonium(II) teflate cation with N-donor bases.

ABSTRACT: Herein we report on the formation of the adduct salts [Xe(OTeF₅)(py^F)][Al(OTeF₅)₄] (py^F = C₅F₅N, C₅H₃F₂N) by abstraction of an -OTeF₅ group from Xe(OTeF₅)₂ with the Lewis superacid Al(OTeF₅)₃ and subsequent adduct formation of the generated [XeOTeF₅]⁺ cation with fluorinated pyridines. These salts represent the first xenonium cations with the weakly coordinating [Al(OTeF₅)₄]^- anion. The strong oxidizing property of these compounds is further assessed.

DFT Investigation of Ligand Photodissociation in [RuII(tpy)(bpy)(py)]2+ and [RuII(tpy)(Me2bpy)(py)]2+ Complexes.

Project description:Photoinduced ligand dissociation of pyridine occurs much more readily in [Ru(tpy)(Me2bpy)(py)]2+ than in [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(py)]2+ (tpy = 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, Me2bpy = 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine; py = pyridine). The S0 ground state and the 3MLCT and 3MC excited states of these complexes have been studied using BP86 density functional theory with the SDD basis set and effective core potential on Ru and the 6-31G(d) basis set for the rest of the atoms. In both complexes, excitation by visible light and intersystem crossing leads to a 3MLCT state in which an electron from a Ru d orbital has been promoted to a π* orbital of terpyridine, followed by pyridine release after internal conversion to a dissociative 3MC state. Interaction between the methyl groups and the other ligands causes significantly more strain in [Ru(tpy)(Me2bpy)(py)]2+ than in [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(py)]2+, in both the S0 and 3MLCT states. Transition to the dissociative 3MC states releases this strain, resulting in lower barriers for ligand dissociation from [Ru(tpy)(Me2bpy)(py)]2+ than from [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(py)]2+. Analysis of the molecular orbitals along relaxed scans for stretching the Ru-N bonds reveals that ligand photodissociation is promoted by orbital mixing between the ligand π* orbital of tpy in the 3MLCT state and the dσ* orbitals that characterize the dissociative 3MC states. Good overlap and strong mixing occur when the Ru-N bond of the leaving ligand is perpendicular to the π* orbital of terpyridine, favoring the release of pyridine positioned in a cis fashion to the terpyridine ligand.

FeII4L4 Tetrahedron Binds to Nonpaired DNA Bases.

Project description:A water-soluble self-assembled supramolecular FeII4L4 tetrahedron binds to single stranded DNA, mismatched DNA base pairs, and three-way DNA junctions. Binding of the coordination cage quenches fluorescent labels on the DNA strand, which provides an optical means to detect the interaction and allows the position of the binding site to be gauged with respect to the fluorescent label. Utilizing the quenching and binding properties of the coordination cage, we developed a simple and rapid detection method based on fluorescence quenching to detect unpaired bases in double-stranded DNA.

KID Procedure Applied on the [(PY5Me2)MoO]+ Complex.

Project description:The KID (Koopmans in DFT) protocol usually applies in organic molecules of the closed-shell type. We used the KID procedure on an open-shell Mo-based system for the first time to choose the most suitable density functional to compute global and local reactivity descriptors obtained from the conceptual density-functional theory (DFT). From a set of 18 density functionals, spread from the second until the fourth rung of Jacob's ladder: BLYP, BP86, B97-D, MN12-L, MN15-L, M06-L, M11-L, CAM-B3LYP, PBE0, B3LYP, N12-SX, M06-2X, MN15, MN12-SX, ωB97X-D, M11, LC-ωHPBE, and APFD, we concluded that CAM-B3LYP provides the best outcome, and in the second place, M06-2X. Because the vertical first ionization potential and vertical first electron affinity in the ground state (gs) are defined as follows I = E gs(N - 1) - E gs(N) and A = E gs(N) - E gs(N + 1), where E gs(N - 1), E gs(N), and E gs(N + 1) correspond to energies of the system bearing N, N + 1, and N - 1 electrons, along with Koopmans' theorem (KT) given by I ≈ -εHOMO (εHOMO, highest occupied molecular orbital energy) and A ≈ -εLUMO (εLUMO, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy), the deviation from the KT was performed by the use of the index, such that J I = |E gs(N - 1) - E gs(N) + εHOMO| and J A = |E gs(N) - E gs(N + 1) + εLUMO|, which are absolute deviations from the perspective of I and A, respectively. Furthermore, the εSOMO (SOMO: singly-occupied molecular orbital energy) leads us to another index given by |ΔSL| = |εSOMO - εLUMO|. Therefore, J HL and |ΔSL| are indexes defined to evaluate the quality of the KT when employed within the context of quantum chemical calculations based on DFT and not the Hartree-Fock theory. We propose the index that could be more suitable to choose the most proper density functional because the J HL and |ΔSL| are independent indexes.

Mechanisms and time-resolved dynamics for trihydrogen cation (H3+) formation from organic molecules in strong laser fields.

Project description:Strong-field laser-matter interactions often lead to exotic chemical reactions. Trihydrogen cation formation from organic molecules is one such case that requires multiple bonds to break and form. We present evidence for the existence of two different reaction pathways for H3+ formation from organic molecules irradiated by a strong-field laser. Assignment of the two pathways was accomplished through analysis of femtosecond time-resolved strong-field ionization and photoion-photoion coincidence measurements carried out on methanol isotopomers, ethylene glycol, and acetone. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations suggest the formation occurs via two steps: the initial formation of a neutral hydrogen molecule, followed by the abstraction of a proton from the remaining CHOH2+ fragment by the roaming H2 molecule. This reaction has similarities to the H2 + H2+ mechanism leading to formation of H3+ in the universe. These exotic chemical reaction mechanisms, involving roaming H2 molecules, are found to occur in the ~100 fs timescale. Roaming molecule reactions may help to explain unlikely chemical processes, involving dissociation and formation of multiple chemical bonds, occurring under strong laser fields.

Early Relaxation Dynamics in the Photoswitchable Complex trans-[RuCl(NO)(py)4 ]2.

Project description:The design of photoswitchable transition metal complexes with tailored properties is one of the most important challenges in chemistry. Studies explaining the underlying mechanisms are, however, scarce. Herein, the early relaxation dynamics towards NO photoisomerization in trans-[RuCl(NO)(py)4 ]2+ is elucidated by means of non-adiabatic dynamics, which provided time-resolved information and branching ratios. Three deactivation mechanisms (I, II, III) in the ratio 3:2:4 were identified. Pathways I and III involve ultrafast intersystem crossing and internal conversion, whereas pathway II involves only internal conversion.

The varied structures of cobalt(II)-pyridine (py)-sulfate: [Co(SO4)(py)4] n , [Co2(SO4)2(py)6] n , and [Co3(SO4)3(py)11] n.

Project description:The solid-state structures of two cobalt-pyridine-sulfate compounds, namely catena-poly[[tetra-kis-(pyridine-κN)cobalt(II)]-μ-sulfato-κ2 O:O'], [Co(SO4)(C5H5N)4] n , (1), and catena-poly[[tetra-kis-(pyridine-κN)cobalt(II)]-μ-sulfato-κ3 O:O',O''-[bis-(pyridine-κN)cobalt(II)]-μ-sulfato-κ3 O,O':O''] n , [Co2(SO4)2(C5H5N)6] n , (2), are reported. Compound (1) displays a polymeric structure, with infinite chains of CoII cations adopting octa-hedral N4O2 coordination environments that involve four pyridine ligands and two bridging sulfate ions. Compound (2) is also polymeric with infinite chains of CoII cations. The first Co center has an octa-hedral N4O2 coordination environment that involves four pyridine ligands and two bridging sulfate ligands. The second Co center has an octa-hedral N2O4 coordination environment that involves two pyridine ligands and two bridging sulfate ions that chelate the Co atom. The structure of (2) was refined as a two-component inversion twin.

Ligand Identity-Induced Generation of Enhanced Oxidative Hydrogen Atom Transfer Reactivity for a CuII2(O2•-) Complex Driven by Formation of a CuII2(-OOH) Compound with a Strong O-H Bond.

Project description:A superoxide-bridged dicopper(II) complex, [CuII2(XYLO)(O2•-)]2+ (1) (XYLO = binucleating m-xylyl derivative with a bridging phenolate ligand donor and two bis(2-{2-pyridyl}ethyl)amine arms), was generated from chemical oxidation of the peroxide-bridged dicopper(II) complex [CuII2(XYLO)(O22-)]+ (2), using ferrocenium (Fc+) derivatives, in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MeTHF) at -125 °C. Using Me10Fc+, a 1 ⇆ 2 equilibrium was established, allowing for calculation of the reduction potential of 1 as -0.525 ± 0.01 V vs Fc+/0. Addition of 1 equiv of strong acid to 2 afforded the hydroperoxide-bridged dicopper(II) species [CuII2(XYLO)(OOH)]2+ (3). An acid-base equilibrium between 3 and 2 was achieved through spectral titrations using a derivatized phosphazene base. The pKa of 3 was thus determined to be 24 ± 0.6 in MeTHF at -125 °C. Using a thermodynamic square scheme and the Bordwell relationship, the hydroperoxo complex (3) O-H bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) was calculated as 81.8 ± 1.5 (BDE = 86.8) kcal/mol. The observed oxidizing capability of [CuII2(XYLO)(O2•-)]2+ (1), as demonstrated in H atom abstraction reactions with certain phenolic ArO-H and hydrocarbon C-H substrates, provides direct support for this experimentally determined O-H BDFE. A kinetic study reveals a very fast reaction of TEMPO-H with 1 in MeTHF, with k (-100 °C) = 5.6 M-1 s-1. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal how the structure of 1 may minimize stabilization of the superoxide moiety, resulting in its enhanced reactivity. The thermodynamic insights obtained herein highlight the importance of the interplay between ligand design and the generation and properties of copper (or other metal ion) bound O2-derived reduced species, such as pKa, reduction potential, and BDFE; these may be relevant to the capabilities (i.e., oxidizing power) of reactive oxygen intermediates in metalloenzyme chemical system mediated oxidative processes.

Mixed Noble-Gas Compounds of Krypton(II) and Xenon(VI); [F5 Xe(FKrF)AsF6 ] and [F5 Xe(FKrF)2 AsF6 ].

Project description:The coordination chemistry of KrF2 has been limited in contrast with that of XeF2 , which exhibits a far richer coordination chemistry with main-group and transition-metal cations. In the present work, reactions of [XeF5 ][AsF6 ] with KrF2 in anhydrous HF solvent afforded [F5 Xe(FKrF)AsF6 ] and [F5 Xe(FKrF)2 AsF6 ], the first mixed krypton/xenon compounds. X-ray crystal structures and Raman spectra show the KrF2 ligands and [AsF6 ]- anions are F-coordinated to the xenon atoms of the [XeF5 ]+ cations. Quantum-chemical calculations are consistent with essentially noncovalent ligand-xenon bonds that may be described in terms of σ-hole bonding. These complexes significantly extend the XeF2 -KrF2 analogy and the limited chemistry of krypton by introducing a new class of coordination compound in which KrF2 functions as a ligand that coordinates to xenon(VI). The HF solvates, [F5 Xe(FH)AsF6 ] and [F5 Xe(FH)SbF6 ], are also characterized in this study and they provide rare examples of HF coordinated to xenon(VI).

Anisotropy of CoII transferred to the Cr7Co polymetallic cluster via strong exchange interactions.

Project description:The Cr7Co ring represents a model system to understand how the anisotropy of a CoII ion is transferred to the effective anisotropy of a polymetallic cluster by strong exchange interactions. Combining sizeable anisotropy with exchange interactions is an important point in the understanding and design of new anisotropic molecular nanomagnets addressing fundamental and applicative issues. By combining electron paramagnetic resonance and inelastic neutron scattering measurements with spin Hamiltonian and ab initio calculations, we have investigated in detail the anisotropy of the CoII ion embedded in the antiferromagnetic ring. Our results demonstrate a strong and anisotropic exchange interaction between the Co and the neighbouring Cr ions, which effectively transmits the anisotropy to the whole molecule.

Cation affinity numbers of Lewis bases.

Project description:Using selected theoretical methods the affinity of a large range of Lewis bases towards model cations has been quantified. The range of model cations includes the methyl cation as the smallest carbon-centered electrophile, the benzhydryl and trityl cations as models for electrophilic substrates encountered in Lewis base-catalyzed synthetic procedures, and the acetyl cation as a substrate model for acyl-transfer reactions. Affinities towards these cationic electrophiles are complemented by data for Lewis-base addition to Michael acceptors as prototypical neutral electrophiles.
