Oxygen difluoride most likely does not form stable complexes with transition metal fragments but initiates formation of halides, oxides, and oxyhalides. This conclusion is drawn as the result of density functional calculations (BP86/TZVP). The interaction between OF2 as potential ligand and the transition metal fragment Cr(CO)5 provides the model scenario. A combined charge and energy decomposition scheme (ETS-NOCV) for bond analysis illustrates the difference in bond behavior between typical donor ligands and oxygen difluoride.

AbstractIn the present work, we have investigated the structural and electronic properties of TMAl (TM = Fe, Co, and Ni) transition metal aluminides in the B2 structure, using first-principle calculations of the density functional theory (DFT) based on the linearized augmented plane wave method (FP-LAPW) as implemented in the WIEN2k code, in which the energy of exchange and correlation are treated by the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), proposed in 1996 by Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE). The ground state properties have been calculated and compared with other calculations, and the electronic structures of all FeAl, CoAl, and NiAl compounds exhibited a metallic behavior. It was depicted that the density of states is characterized by the large hybridization between the s-p (Al) and 3d (Fe, Co, and Ni) states, which creates the pseudogap in the region of anti-bonding states. Moreover, the band structures of FeAl, CoAl, and NiAl are similar to each other and the difference between them is in the energy level of each band relative to the Fermi level.

The phosphinocarbyne complex [W(CPPh2)(CO)2(Tp*)] (1: Tp* = hydrotris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) coordinates transition metal fragments via the phosphine to form bimetallic species [W{CPPh2RhCl2(Cp*)}(CO)2(Tp*)] (2) and [W(CPPh2AuCl)(CO)2(Tp*)] (3).

In this report, we explore the stability of doped-phosphorene nanosheets with first-row transition metals in the framework of density functional theory and by using a bonding characterization and energy decomposition analyses.

The preparation and characterization of the diamido-arsine ligand [NAsN]Li2(THF) (1) (where NAsN = PhAs(CH2SiMe2NPh)2), the protonated ligand precursor [NAsN]H2 (2), and its coordination chemistry with tantalum is presented. The complex [NAsN]TaMe3 (3) can be synthesized from 1 and TaMe3Cl2. Hydrogenation of 3 did not produce the desired tetrahydride ([NAsN]Ta)2(µ-H)4, instead, activation of Ta–N bonds in the complex produced a modest yield of the free ligand 2. In an attempt to understand the unusual reactivity of 3, a density functional theory investigation of the model complexes 'NAsN'Li2(OMe2)2 (4) and 'NAsN'TaMe3 (5) (where 'NAsN' = MeAs(CH2SiH2NMe)2) and their phosphine analogs 'NPN'Li2(OMe2) (7), 'NPN'TaMe3 (8), and a related niobium complex 'NPN'NbMe3 (10) (where 'NPN' = MeP(CH2SiH2NMe)2) was undertaken. The difference between the chemistry supported by the As and P ligands originates from the poor binding of As to Ta in these systems and is likely due to a mismatch of the soft As donor and the hard Ta(V) metal centre.Key words: arsine ligand, tridentate, tantalum, hydrogenation, DFT calculations.
