Pulsed gradient spin-echo (PGSE) diffusion and Overhauser NMR data together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations afford a qualitative estimation of the amount of ion pairing, as well as insight into the structures of a variety of inorganic, organic, and organometallic salts.

Deprotonation of hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-nido-borane(8) 2 leads first to the hexaethyl-2,4-dicarbanido- borate(1−) 3, and further deprotonation, using BuLi/KOtBu, gives the hexaethyl-2,4-dicarbanido- hexaborate(2−) 4. The reaction of 3 with FeCl2 affords the commo-ferracarborane [Fe(Et6-2,4- C2B4H)2] 5, and the analogous reaction of 4 leads to the anionic sandwich complex [Fe(Et6-2,4- C2B4)2]2− 6 which can be protonated to give 5. The complex 5 contains two hydrido ligands, each bridging the iron and two boron atoms. Reactions were monitored and the products were characterised by 11B NMR spectroscopy in solution. The geometries of the carboranes, the borates (all unsubstituted and permethyl-substituted) and the iron complexes (all unsubstituted) were optimised by DFT methods [B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) or B3LYP/6-31+G(d)], and the relevant NMR data [chemical shifts δ11B, δ13C, δ57Fe, and coupling constants 1J(13C,1H), 1J(11B,1H), 1J(57Fe,1H), 1J(57Fe,11B)] were calculated at the same level of theory.

The halodiazoacetates are a group of synthetically useful halogenated diazo compounds that can be used in Rh(II)-catalyzed carbenoid reactions. In the reactions between the halodiazoacetates and electron-rich, sterically unhindered alkenes, halocyclopropanes are formed in good to excellent yields. The halodiazoacetates also react well in C–H and Si–H insertion reactions, broadening the synthetic utility of these reactions. The products of the reactions are synthetically useful α-halocarbonyl compounds. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have given insight into the mechanism of the cyclopropanation and C–H insertion reactions of the halodiazoacetates, and have also shown that the halodiazoacetates have a particularly high kinetic activity.

ITQ-13 is a medium-pore zeolite that can be prepared in all-silica form and as silicogermanate with Si/Ge ratios as low as 3. Usually synthesised in the presence of fluoride, ITQ-13 is among the very few systems containing fluoride anions in two distinct cage types, cube-like d4r units and [4·5^6] cages. Here, dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to investigate the energetically most favourable Ge distributions for Si/Ge ratios between 55 and 6. The calculations show Ge atoms are incorporated at both the corners of d4r cages and at the basal plane of the [4·5^6] cages, in accordance with 19F-NMR spectroscopy. Two Ge atoms at adjacent corners of [4·5^6] cages are stable at the highest Ge content. Such a local environment has not yet been considered in the experimental literature. A calculation of the corresponding 19F-NMR resonance points to overlap with other resonances, which might preclude its clear identification. Additional calculations investigate the variation of the dynamic behaviour of the fluoride anions as a function of the local environment as well as the selective defluorination of the [4·5^6] cages.
