Ab initio GVB(6/12)/6-31G** calculations were performed on A2X==YB2 (A, B = H, F; X, Y = C, Si) to obtain the optimized geometries for planar and twisted singlet structures, and to also calculate pi bond energies (rotational barriers). The nature of C-C, Si-Si, and C-Si pi bonds has been investigated. The results show that the C-C pi bond energy (E pi (ethene) = 65.4 kcal/mol) decreases with increasing fluorine substitution. The pyramidalization at the carbon or silicon center for the twisted structures decreases the pi bond energies in the substituted ethenes and their silicon counterparts. The Si-Si (E pi (disilene) = 23.2 kcal/mol) and C-Si (E pi (silaethene) = 31.6 kcal/mol) pi bonds become much weaker. Fluorine substitution stabilizes both the diradical and the dipolar twisted singlet structures.Key words: pi bond energy, ab initio calculations, generalized valence bond, fluorine substitution, disilene, and silaethene.

Abstract The structures, energies and vibrational frequencies of H2N-NO2 and H2N-NO have been calculated at HF, MP2(FC), MP2(FULL) and CISD levels of theory using a polarized triple-zeta 6-311+G(d,p) basis augmented with a diffuse function. In addition, the structures and energies were also computed at the QCISD(T)/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. The structure and bonding in H2N-NO2 and H2N-NO is discussed on the basis of a Natural Bond Orbital Analysis (NBO analysis) and in addition based on qualitative valence bond (VB) considerations.

Abstract The coordination capability of Cl and Br in halogenocadmate(II) complexes is estimated by a solution of the structure of 1,3-propanediammonium dibromodichlorocadmate(II). The compound crystallizes as a layered anion structure with Cl bridges and Br terminals at 293 K: Imma, a = 741.56(7), b = 1869.5(5), and c -771.55(8) pm, Z = 4. In order to explain the stronger tendency of halogenocadmate(II) complexes to form layered structures as compared to halogenozincate(II), ab-initio calculations were performed. The stability of MX53-(M = Cd, Zn; X = Cl, Br) is compared. Isolated ZnX53- and CdBr53- ions are not stable. On the other hand a trigonal bipyramid CdCl53- ion is considered to be subtly stable in the crystal mainly due to Coulomb attractive interactions between the positively charged metal cation Cd2+ in a CdCl3- fragment and two Cl- ions.
