A systematic first-principles study is performed to investigate the 20-electron transition metal complexes (CH)TM(EE) (TM = Cr, Mo, W; EE = CO, N, BF). The bond dissociation energy (De) based on (CH)TM(EE) → (CH)TM(EE) + EE indicates much lower thermodynamic stability of (CH)TM(N) because of poor binding ability of N ligands. For the thermodynamic stable (CH)TM(EE) complexes (TM = Cr, Mo, W; EE = CO, BF), their 20-electron nature is derived from their occupied nonbonding molecular orbital mainly donated by ligands. Furthermore, charge transfer from TMs to the CH ligands is revealed by the atoms in molecules (AIM) theory, leading to the positive charges of the TM atoms. On the other hand, the nature of the TM-E bond has been thoroughly analyzed by the energy decomposition analysis (EDA) method. The absolute value of interaction energies (|ΔE|) between (CH)TM(EE) and EE has the same trend as the corresponding bond dissociation energy and Wiberg bond orders of TM-E bonds, following the order W > Mo > Cr with same ligands and BF > CO with same TM. Additionally, the largest contribution to the ΔE values is the repulsive term ΔE. Similar contributions from covalent and electrostatic terms to the TM-E bonds were found, which can be described as the classic dative bond with nearly same σ and π contributions. The stronger σ donations and π backdonations in (CH)TM(BF) than in (CH)TM(CO) indicate much more stability of (CH)TM(BF).

The pyrolyses of methyl bromide and of the halogenated bromomethanes, CH 2 CI. Br, CH 2 Br 2 , CHCl 2 .Br, CHBr 3 , CF 3 Br, CCI 3 . Br and CBr 4 , have been investigated by the ‘toluene-carrier' technique. It has been shown that all these decompositions were initiated by the unimolecular process R Br → R + Br. (1) Since all these decompositions were carried out in the presence of an excess of toluene, the bromine atoms produced in process (1) were readily removed by the fast reaction C 6 H 5 .CH 3 + Br → C 6 H 5 . CH 2 • + HBr. Hence, the rate of the unimolecular process (1) has been measured by the rate of formation of HBr. The C—Br bond dissociation energies were assumed to be equal to the activation energies of the relevant unimolecular dissociation processes. These were calculated by using the expression k ═ 2 x 10 13 exp (- D/RT ). The reason for choosing this particular value of 2 x 10 13 sec. -1 for the frequency factor of these reactions is discussed. The values obtained for the C—Br bond dissociation energies in the investigated bromomethanes are: D (C—Br) D (C—Br) compound (kcal./mole) compound (kcal./mole) CH 3 Br (67.5) CHBr 3 55.5 CH 2 CIBr 61.0 CF 3 Br 64.5 CH 2 Br 2 62.5 CCI 3 Br 49.0 CHCl 2 Br 53.5 CBr 4 49.0 The possible factors responsible for the variation of the C—Br bond dissociation energy in these compounds have been pointed out.
