Density functional theory is used to characterize the lowest energy excited spin triplet orbital configurations of square-planar halide complexes of palladium(II). Calculations for the eg –> b1g orbital excitation (D4h labels) predict a non-totally symmetric distortion along the b1g normal coordinate, leading to unequal bond lengths for perpendicular metal-ligand bonds (D2h symmetry). Calculated bond length changes are 0.15 Å (0.11 Å) and 0.05 Å (0.00 Å) for PdCl42- (PdBr42-). These values compare favorably to the emitting-state distortions of 0.12 Å and 0.09 Å for K2PdCl4 (0.12 Å, and 0.07 Å for K2PdBr4) determined from resolved single-crystal luminescence spectra. The calculations indicate that the non-totally symmetric distortion is an intrinsic molecular property of these complexes.Key words: palladium(II) complexes, excited state distortions, density functional theory.

The relative stability of the trans and cis isomers in the square planar palladium(II) complexes Pd ( I )( PPh 3)(η3- XCHC ( Ph ) CHR ) ( X = H , Me , CMe 3, CO 2 Me , P ( O )( OMe )2, and SO 2 H ; R = H , Me ) was investigated with the aid of the B3LYP density functional theory calculations. We examined how the substituents X, with different electronic properties, of the η3-allyl ligands affect the relative stability of the trans and cis isomers. Through the investigation, we were able to explain the trans/cis relative stability derived from the experimentally measured trans/cis isomer ratios in the palladium(II) complexes.

Detailed theoretical studies of Ni(II) complexes in a distorted square planar form and containing dithio and (P, P) chelating ligands were performed. These Ni(II) complexes are investigated for their use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Structures and UV–vis spectra are calculated at density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) theories using B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP functionals and 6-31G(d,p) and 6-31G+(d) basis sets. Geometry optimizations result in excellent agreement with the experimental results. Moreover, the analysis of the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) allowed a detailed assignment and a clear analysis of the electronic transitions. The TD-DFT calculations reproduce the main spectroscopic properties observed and substituent effects. The results reveal that all absorption spectra are characterized by mixed character mainly dominated by metal to ligand and ligand to ligand charge transfers (MLCT and LLCT). We unveil how the substituent variations affect the DSSCs features of the complexes.

The title compounds, chlorotris(dimethyl sulfide-κS)platinum(II) hexafluorophosphate, [PtCl(C2H6S)3]PF6, and bromotris(dimethyl sulfide-κS)platinum(II) hexafluorophosphate, [PtBr(C2H6S)3]PF6, are isomorphous and are composed of [PtX(dms)3]+ complex cations (X = Cl and Br, and dms is dimethyl sulfide) and PF6 − anions. The Pt atom is coordinated by three S atoms and one X atom in a pseudo-square-planar coordination, with Pt—S distances in the range 2.293 (1)–2.319 (2) Å. Two dms ligands have a staggered conformation with respect to the coordination plane, while the third is rotated by ∼90° compared with the orientation of the other two. The packing can be described as consisting of [PtX(dms)3]2(PF6)2 units with a centre of symmetry. In this description, the PtII atom has a pseudo-octahedral coordination, with four normal bonds and two long weak interactions. Density-functional theory calculations show that a conformation in which one dms ligand is not staggered is less favourable than having all three dms ligands staggered.

AbstrakDensity Functional Theory (DFT) merupakan salah satu metode komputasi yang digunakan untuk perhitungan kimia. Metode ini dapat menyelesaian persamaan Schrödinger secara sederhana karena didasarkan pada densitas elektron.
