AbstractQuantum-chemical testing of donor-acceptor properties of binary molecular complexes, related to the singlet state, is suggested as QCh calculations of studied systems and their constituents by using both spin-nondependent (RHF) and spindependent (UHF) versions of the exploited computational tool. The avoided crossing of intermolecular interaction terms of neutral moleculesE int(A 0 B 0) and molecular ionsE int(A + B −) causes a multi-mode character of the ground state term. The dependence of D-A complex properties on the type of the term, space positions of the term minimum, and the interrelation of the corresponding energies are discussed. The suggested approach has been applied to binary complexes C60+X (X=TAE, TDAE, DMMA, COANP, 2Li, Mg).

The absorption band centred at c. 77 cm-1 in gaseous mixtures of CF3I and N(CH3)3 previously reported and attributed to the N-I stretching mode of the complex CF3I-N(CH3)3 has been carefully re-examined. This band is of interest as an example of a low frequency ?dissociative type? vibrational mode of a weak molecular complex. The band is asymmetric and apparently structureless with a half intensity width at room temperature of 28-30 cm-1. The width of the band may be accounted for as arising from transitions vi + vi+1 where vi is the vibrational quantum number of the N-I stretching mode with vi up to c. 10 making appreciable contribution to the intensity on the low wave-number side. Centrifugal distortion in the complex is considered. Centrifugal stretching and consequent weakening of the bond may shift the band envelope 2-3 cm-1 to lower wave numbers. Assessment of these and other factors affecting the band shape suggest that the fundamental frequency is probably c. 90 cm-1. The band shape of the vibrational mode of the complex at c. 272 cm-1 is briefly discussed. Many of the considerations presented in this paper should apply to vibration-rotation band shapes in other weak molecular complexes. Some general consequences of anharmonicity for the interpretation of the spectra of weak molecular complexes are discussed.

Two prototypical sulfamoyl nitrenes R2NS(O)2–N (R = H and Me) in the triplet state were generated via the closed-shell singlet state by passing a low-energy minimum energy crossing point (MECP).

Donor Acceptor

Upon MLCT photoexcitation, {(tpy)Ru} becomes the electron acceptor in the mixed valence {(tpy˙−)RuIII−δ-NC-MII+δ} moiety, reversing its role as the electron donor in the ground-state mixed valence analogue.

X2Si=Sn: (X = H, Me, F, Cl, Br, Ph, Ar, etc.) are a new chemical species. The cycloaddition reactions of X2Si=Sn: are a new field of stannylene chemistry. The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction between singlet state Me2Si=Sn: and ethene has been investigated for the first time here using second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory together with the 6-311++G** basis set for C, H and Si atoms and the LanL2dz basis set for Sn atoms. From the potential energy profile, it could be predicted that the reaction has one dominant reaction channel. The reaction process presented is that the 5p unoccupied orbital of Sn in Me2Si=Sn: and the π orbital of ethene form a π → p donor–acceptor bond resulting in the formation of an intermediate. The instability of this intermediate makes it isomerize to a four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene. Because the 5p unoccupied orbital of the Sn atom in the four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene and the π orbital of ethene form a π → p donor–acceptor bond, the four-membered Si-heterocyclic ring stannylene further combines with ethene to form another intermediate. Because the Sn atom in this intermediate assumes sp3 hybridization after the transition state, the intermediate isomerizes to a Si-heterocyclic spiro-Sn-heterocyclic ring compound. This result indicates the modes of cycloaddition reactions between X2Si=Sn: and symmetric π-bonded compounds, i.e. this study opens up a new field for stannylene chemistry.

The formation of a halogen-bond (XB) complex in the excited state was recently reported with a quadrupolar acceptor–donor–acceptor dye in two iodine-based liquids (J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2017, 8, 3927–3932). The ultrafast decay of this excited complex to the ground state was ascribed to an electron transfer quenching by the XB donors. We examined the mechanism of this process by investigating the quenching dynamics of the dye in the S1 state using the same two iodo-compounds diluted in inert solvents. The results were compared with those obtained with a non-halogenated electron acceptor, fumaronitrile. Whereas quenching by fumaronitrile was found to be diffusion controlled, that by the two XB compounds is slower, despite a larger driving force for electron transfer. A Smoluchowski–Collins–Kimball analysis of the excited-state population decays reveals that both the intrinsic quenching rate constant and the quenching radius are significantly smaller with the XB compounds. These results point to much stronger orientational constraint for quenching with the XB compounds, indicating that electron transfer occurs upon formation of the halogen bond.
