The ionic Diels-Alder (I-DA) reactions of a series of six iminium cations with cyclopentadiene have been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT). The superelectrophilic character of iminium cations,  > 8.20 eV, accounts for the high reactivity of these species participating in I-DA reactions. The activation energies are found between 13 and 20 kcal·mol-1 lower in energy than those associated to the corresponding Diels-Alder (DA) reactions of neutral imines. These reactions are low endo selective as a consequence of the cationic character of the TSs, but highly regioselective. Solvents have poor effects on the relative energies, and an unappreciable effect in the geometries. In dichloromethane the activation energies increase slightly as a consequence of the better solvation of the iminium cations than the cationic TSs. ELF topological analysis of the bonding changes along the I-DA reactions shows that they are very similar to those in polar DA reactions. The present MEDT study makes it possible establishing that the global electron density transfer (GEDT) taking place at the TSs of I-DA reactions, and not steric (Pauli) repulsions such as have been recently proposed, are responsible for the features of these type of DA reactions.

In acetonitrile, the activation energies increase slightly as a consequence of the better solvation of the iminium cations than the cationic TSs. Electron localization function (ELF) topological analysis of the bonding changes along the I-DA reactions shows that they are very similar to those in polar DA reactions.

Abstract Using the semiempirical PM6 method, structures of a rod-like [Ti40O124H81]7– model cluster and of [Ti40O124H81Cu]5– with Cu2+ coordinated at various sites were optimized in order to assess the toxicity of rutile nanoparticles. If the relative toxicity of individual Ti centers in rod-like rutile nanoparticles can be evaluated by the electron density transfer to a Cu2+ probe, its maximal values can be ascribed to the pentacoordinated corner and hexacoordinated edge Ti centers with three Ti—OH bonds. However, these centers exhibit the least negative interaction energies which can be compensated by the significantly better accessibility of the corner Ti center compared with that of the remaining ones. Ti centers with the most negative interaction energy parameters exhibit the lowest extent of electron density transfer to a Cu2+ probe. Rutile nanoparticles destruction starts at pentacoordinated Ti face centers.

Both considerable share of the CoIII–NO− resonance structure and large π*-backdonation (evidenced by electron density transfer channels) rationalize the huge activation of the NO ligand in [Co(ii)(NH3)n]–NO adducts.
