The Fe(CO)4(SiO), Co(CO)4(BO), and Co(CO)4(BNSiMe3), complexes akin to the well-known Fe(CO)5 are predicted by density functional theory to undergo exothermic oligomerization to give the oligomers containing SinOn/BnOn/B2N2 rings with single bonds.

AbstractThe compounds [W(CO)5(btd)], [W(CO)5(bsd] and [Re(CO)3(bpy)(bsd)](BF4), btd=2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and bsd=2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole were isolated and characterized experimentally (crystal structure, spectroscopy, spectroelectrochemistry) and by density functional theory calculations. The results confirm single N-coordination in all cases, binding to Se was calculated to be less favorable. Studies of one-electron reduced forms indicate that the N-coordination is maintained during electron transfer.

The structures and energetics of the acenaphthylene iron carbonyl complexes (C12H8)Fe(CO)n (n = 4, 3, 2), (C12H8)Fe2(CO)n (n = 8, 7, 6, 5, 4), and (C12H8)Fe3(CO)n (n = 9, 8) have been examined using density functional theory.
