The electronic structures of dinuclear copper complexes of the general formula [GFA(CuX2)2], where X = Br or Cl and GFA denotes a redox-active bridging Guanidino-Functionalized Aromatic ligand, were analysed and compared.

Decision-making counter-ligands: a bridging redox-active ligand in a dinuclear copper complex could be either neutral (complex type [CuII-GFA-CuII]) or dicationic (complex type [CuI-GFA-CuI]), depending on the nature of the counter-ligands X.

The influence of copper(I) halides CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) on the electronic structure of N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DICDI) and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) was investigated by means of computational DFT (density functional theory) methods. The coordination of the considered carbodiimides occurs by one of the nitrogen atoms, with the formation of linear complexes having a general formula of [CuX(carbodiimide)]. Besides varying the carbon–nitrogen bond lengths, the thermodynamically favourable interaction with Cu(I) reduces the electron density on the carbodiimides and alters the energies of the (NCN)-centred, unoccupied orbitals. A small dependence of these effects on the choice of the halide was observable. The computed Fukui functions suggested negligible interaction of Cu(I) with incoming nucleophiles, and the reactivity of carbodiimides was altered by coordination mainly because of the increased electrophilicity of the {NCN} fragments.

The electronic structures of homovalent [V2(μ-S2)2(R2dtc)4] (R = Et, iBu) and mixed-valent [V2(μ-S2)2(R2dtc)4]+ are reported here. The soft-donor, eight-coordinate ligand shell combined with the fully delocalised ground state provides a...

A VESCF molecular-orbital study of the electronic structure of the triiodide anion in its crystalline environment in caesium triiodide and in tetraphenylarsonium triiodide reveals the effect of the lattices upon the electronic structures. The calculated total valence-electron energy as a function of the position of the central iodine nucleus provides an understanding of the observed geometries of the anion in the two crystals. The energy plot also implies that the asymmetric stretch of the triiodide is strongly anharmonic in the crystal. A satisfactory correlation exists between observed iodine : iodine bond lengths and computed bond orders.
