Of particular interest within the +6 uranium complexes is the linear uranyl(vi) cation and it forms numerous coordination complexes in solution and exhibits incongruent redox behavior depending on coordinating ligands. This DFT study predicts VI/V reduction potentials of a range of uranyl(vi) complexes in non-aqueous solutions within ∼0.10−0.20 eV of experiment.

Treatment of the ortho-triazacyclophane 1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-triene [(C6H5)3(NH)(NCH3)2, L1] with Fe[N(SiMe3)2]2 yields the dimeric iron(II) complex bis(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido)bis[(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido)iron(II)], [Fe(C20H18N3)4] or Fe2(L1)4 (9). Dissolution of 9 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) results in solvation by two THF ligands and the formation of a simpler monoiron complex, namely bis(μ-1,4-dimethyltribenzo[b,e,h][1,4,7]triazacyclonona-2,5,8-trien-7-ido-κN 7)bis(tetrahydrofuran-κO)iron(II), [Fe(C20H18N3)2(C4H8O)2] or (L1)2Fe(THF)2 (10). The reaction is reversible and 10 reverts in vacuo to diiron complex 9. In the structures of both 9 and 10, the monoanionic triazacyclophane ligand L1− is observed in only the less-symmetric saddle conformation. No bowl-shaped crown conformers are observed in the solid state, thus preventing chelating κ3-coordination to the metal as had been proposed earlier based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Instead, the L1− ligands are bound in either a η2-chelating fashion through the amide and one amine donor (for one of the four ligands of 9), or solely through their amide N atoms in an even simpler monodentate η1-coordination mode. Density functional calculations on dimer 9 revealed nearly full cationic charges on each Fe atom and no bonding interaction between the two metal centers, consistent with the relatively long Fe...Fe distance of 2.912 (1) Å observed in the solid state.

This work was performed regarding the importance of iron (Fe) chelation for biological systems. This goal was investigated by assistance of a model of thiocytosine (TC) for participating in Fe-chelation processes. First, formations of tautomeric conformations were investigated to explore existence of possible structures of TC. Next, Fe-chelation processes were examined for all four obtained tautomers of TC. The results indicated that thiol tautomers could be seen at higher stability than thio tautomers, in which one of such thiol tautomers yielded the strongest Fe-chelation process to build FeTC3 model. As a consequence, parallel to the results of original TC tautomers, Fe-chelated models were found to be achievable for meaningful chelation processes or sensing the existence of Fe in media. Examining molecular orbital features could help for sensing purposes. The results of this work were obtained by performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations proposing TC compounds suitable for Fe-chelation purposes.

We report Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations on mixed-metal tetramers comprised of the Group 5 (Vb) elements V, Nb, and Ta. Our results show that the lowest energy structures for Nb4 and Ta4 are regular tetrahedra with Td symmetry and singlet multiplicity whereas V4 is a triplet state with C2v symmetry. The monosubstituted isomers, A3B, all have C3v symmetry but several higher energy Cs structures have been found that are approximately 100 kJ mol−1 higher in energy. The disubstituted isomers all posses arachno-butterfly structures; the A2B2 types with C2v symmetry and the A2BC types with Cs symmetry. However, the relative openness of the arachno structures is found to be specific to the composition of the mixed-metal cluster.
