The nature of binding in the 14 valence electron H3AB molecules is examined, where A and B are taken from the second and third rows. The AB bonding is inferred from the computed structures, d orbital populations, and localized orbitals. Near Hartree–Fock results are reported for the strongest bonding compounds, which are those with third row atoms A, and second row atoms B. Phosphine oxide, and to a lesser extent phosphine sulfide, are found to be effectively doubly bound. Amine oxide and sulfide are found to be ionic complexes. The thiazyl bond is confirmed as triple in nature. The exotic compound F3IC is proposed as a synthetic target.

Abstract. We report the Compton profiles of tantalum chalcogenides (TaS2 and TaSSe) using Hartree–Fock and hybridization of Hartree–Fock and density functional theories within linear combination of atomic (Gaussian) orbitals. To interpret the theoretical data on Compton line shapes, we have measured the Compton profiles using our in-house 100 mCi 241Am γ-ray Compton spectrometer. To understand the relative nature of bonding, we have obtained the equal-valence-electron-density (EVED) profiles. The EVED profiles shows that charge in TaSSe is more localized than TaS2 in the bonding direction which confirms that TaSSe is more covalent than TaS2, which is in agreement with the Mulliken’s population analysis.

The reactions of N-silylated and free diphenylphosphino thioformaraides, Ph2PC(S)NRR′ (R = Ph, Me, Et; R′ = Me3Si, H), with CpFe(CO)2l yield, by displacement of one equiva­lent CO, both red-brown P,S-coordinated chelate complexes 1 a-c and green P-coordinated iodo complexes 2a-c. With thiocarbamoylphosphine sulfides, Ph2P(S)C(S)NHR (R = Ph, Me), the S,S′-coordinated chelate complexes 3a, b are obtained. The corresponding phos­phine oxides only form deeply coloured, weak 1/1 adducts 4a, b with CpFe(CO)2l. The course of the nucleophilic substitution of CpFe(CO)2X (X = Cl, Br, I) by N-silyl phosphino thioformamides reveals a significant dependence on the halogen employed. For X = Cl, elimination of RNCS and formation of the cationic diiron complex [CpFe(CO)2]2_ PPh2+Cl- (5 a) takes place, whereas for X = Br no reaction occurs at room temperature. Mechanistic reasons for this unexpected behaviour are discussed.

Properties of the frozen core approximation for atomic systems containing one valence electron in addition to completely filled shells are derived. It is shown that, in addition to computational convenience, the procedure enjoys certain theoretical advantages over the standard Hartree–Fock approximation.

Single-configuration relativistic Hartree–Fock values of fine-structure separations are calculated for p-levels in systems with a single electron outside a closed-shell core, both with and without allowance for relaxation and polarization of the core. Effects of the polarization of the atomic core by the valence electron are included by the addition of a polarization potential to the one-electron Hamiltonian. The results obtained generally compare well with available experimental data and indicate a significant influence of core polarization on fine-structure splittings. Contributions of the relaxation of the core are considerable only for the heavier systems. The choice of the cut-off parameter r0 in the polarization potential, as well as of the shape of the cut-off function, and the success of the ab initio approach are discussed. It is suggested that for indium and thallium, in contrast to the case for rubidium, silver, and gold, the simplified picture of a core plus a single valence electron is no longer entirely satisfactory.
