A relativistic quantum chemical study on hypothetical but potentially experimentally realisable TM–actinide and –neodymium complexes reveals the similarity in their structures but the differences in the multiplicity of the metal–metal bonds.

AbstractIn this study, we determine the acidity constants of methylthymol blue (MTB) and association constants of its complexes with the ZnII, CuII, and FeII metal ions (MIs), through theoretical and experimental means. The complexes were characterized using UV–Visible absorption spectroscopy combined with soft/hard chemometrics methods and quantum chemical calculations. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that electronic transitions in the UV–Visible spectra of MTB have mixed n → π* and π → π* characters. The results of molar ratio and multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) revealed the formation of successive 1:2 and 1:1 complexes (MI:MTB) for the ZnII and CuII systems. However, the formation of successive 1:1 and 2:1 complexes are suggested for FeII by the molar ratio and MCR-ALS. The majority of transitions observed in the UV–Visible spectra of the Zn(MTB) and Cu(MTB) complexes have ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) characters. However, the transitions in the UV–Visible spectrum of the Fe(MTB) complex have LLCT and metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) characters. For the Fe2(MTB) complex, the lowest energy transition of has an LLCT character. However, its higher energy transitions are a mixture of LLCT, MLCT, and metal-to-metal charge transfer (MMCT) characters. The correlation between experimental and computed wavelengths revealed that the 1:1 complexes of ZnII and CuII prefer square pyramidal geometries. However, the FeII complexes always show octahedral geometry.

The properties of the heteronuclear metal–metal bonds in the unbridged [η5–C5H5)Fe(CO)2Re(CO)5−n(CNR)n] and [(η5–C9H7)Fe(CO)2Re(CO)5−n(CNR)n complexes (n = 0, 1, 2; R = tert-butyl (tBu) and 2,6-dimethylphenyl (Xy)) and the two equatorially substituted isomers of [MnRe(CO)8(CN-tBu)2] have been investigated theoretically by Extended Hückel Molecular Orbital calculations (EHMO) and experimentally by UV–visible spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and by microRaman or FT-Raman spectroscopy. The expected dσ* orbital is the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), mainly fabricated by interactions of the metal [Formula: see text] orbital, but the dπ* and dσ orbitals are the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and HOMO-1, respectively, as demonstrated experimentally from the UV–visible spectra. The EHMO computations demonstrate the mixing between these two dπ* (and dδ) and dσ MO orbitals. The influence of substituent effects on the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties is complicated and is interpreted in terms of inductive effects and relative destabilisation of the dσ, dπ*, and dσ* molecular orbitals. Finally, the metal–metal stretching frequencies for four mixed metal dimers (MnRe and FeRe) are reported.
