The mechanism of the CO ligand dissociation of fac-[ReI(bpy)(CO)3P(OMe)3]+ has theoretically been investigated, as the dominant process of the photochemical ligand substitution (PLS) reactions of fac-[ReI(bpy)(CO)3PR3]+, by using the (TD-)DFT method.

Quantum-chemical ab initio, time-independent, as well as time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations were performed on the so far elusive heterocycles inda- and thallabenzene (C5H5In and C5H5Tl), employing several different methods (MP2, CISD, CCSD, CCSD(T), BD, BD(T), QCISD, QCISD(T), CASSCF, DFT/B3LYP), effective core potentials, and different basis sets. While calculations on the MP2 level predict the ground states of the title compounds to be singlets with the first triplet states between 13 and 15 kcal mol−1 higher in energy, single point calculations with the QCISD(T), CCSD(T), and BD(T) methods at CCSD-optimized structures result in energy differences between the singlet and the triplet states in the range between 0.3 and 2.1 kcal mol−1 in favour of the triplet states. According to a CASSCF(8,8) calculation the triplets are also more stable by about 2.5–2.9 kcal mol−1. Calculations were also performed for the C5v-symmetric η5 structural isomers (cyclopentadienylindium, CpIn, and cyclopentadienylthallium, CpTl, Cp = C5H5) of the title compounds. At the highest level of theory employed in this study, C5H5In is between 79 and 88 kcal mol−1 higher in energy than CpIn, while this energy difference is even larger for thallabenzene where C5H5Tl is energetically between 94 and 102 kcal mol−1 above CpTl. In addition we report on the UV/vis spectra calculated with a TD-DFT method as well as on the spectra of the normal modes of C5H5In and C5H5Tl. Both types of spectra might facilitate identification of the title compounds eventually formed in photolysis or pyrolysis experiments.

In this work the formation of vinylphosphines was studied through the hydrophosphination reaction. The study aims to rationalize the stereoselectivity of these compounds using quantum DFT methods. This theoretical study of chemical reactivity was conducted at B3LYP/6-311 + G (d, p) level. Global chemical reactivity descriptors, stationary point energies and activation barriers were examined to foretell the relative stability of the stereoisomers formed. The various results obtained have revealed that the addition of arylphosphine to dihalogenoacetylene is stereospecific. The Trans form of vinylphosphines is more stable than the Cis form, when the substituent on phosphorus generates less or no π-conjugations. On the other hand, the Cis isomer is predominant when the aryl radical favors more π-conjugations. The theoretical results obtained are in agreement with the experimental results.

A comparison about excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism of a new sensor 3-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde (3BHC) in polar solvent dimethylformamide (DMF) and nonpolar solvent toluene have been investigated within the framework of the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method. The reproduced previous experimental absorption and emission spectra via our calculations reveals the reasonability of the DFT and TD-DFT theoretical level. The staple bond lengths, bond angles, and corresponding infrared vibrational spectra demonstrate that the intramolecular hydrogen bond of 3BHC should be strengthened in both polar DMF and nonpolar toluene. Two kinds of ESIPT mechanisms for different solvents have been put forward; there is a low potential barrier in the ESIPT process in the DMF solvent, whereas there is almost a nonbarrier for the ESIPT process in the toluene solvent. Hence, we could conclude that the ESIPT process of 3BHC sensor is more likely to occur in the nonpolar solvent upon the photoexcitation, based on which, the excited state behavior of 3BHC could be controlled.
