The CNDO method in UHF version has been used for study of equilibrium of configuration isomers of tetrahedral and square-planar tetrachloro complexes of the first transition row atoms in the oxidation degree II (Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II)). From the results it follows that the ability (conditioned by electronic structure of the central atom) to form the square-planar complexes decreases in the series Mn(II) > Fe(II) > Co(II) > Ni(II) > Cu(II). Several authors state the fact that the most important task of quantum chemistry is to develop procedures for calculation of rate and equilibrium constants of chemical reactions1,2. At the same time it is emphasized that these procedures should be independent of experimental data. By this term the authors mean such experimental data which are in some way connected with the reaction studied, and not the general experimental experience which (after transformation into axioms) can represent a basis of the used method.

The CNDO method for transition metals in the UHF version has been used to study the equilibrium of configuration isomers of tetrahedral and square-planar tetrafluoro and tetrabromo complexes of the first transition row atoms in the oxidation degree II (Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) both in low-spin and in high-spin states. The results show that the ability (given by electronic structure of the central atom) to form the square-planar complexes decreases monotonously in the series: Mn(II) > Fe(II) > Co(II) > Ni(II) > Cu(II). With respect to the effect of the electronic structure of ligands, the same ability decreases in the series: F- > Cl- > Br-.

Measurement of the transmission of electronic effects through square-planar complexes of platinum has provided evidence of double bonding to halogen and nitro ligands. The nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift of the β-protons in pyridine ligands serves as an indicator of electron drift in the complexes. Justification is thus provided for the assumed mechanism of the trans effect involving π-bonding. The observations are in accord with the assumption that the increase in trans-directing powers with atomic number of the halogen is due to an increasing tendency to accept d-electrons from the central atom.

14N n.m.r. has been used to measure the rates of pyridine exchange of a series of bis pyridine adducts of square-planar nickel(II) complexes containing dithiocarbamate, xanthate, dithiophosphate and monothioacetylacetonate ligands. Substantial variations in the lability of the coordinated pyridine are observed, k,, at 298 K varying from about 103 to 107 s-1. In the monothioacetylacetonate series the lability of pyridine decreases as the electron withdrawing power of the substituents increases. Both the lability and the sensitivity to substituent effects are greater than for the analogous acetylacetonate derivatives. The relationship between the intrinsic Lewis acidity of the nickel(II) centre in the parent square-planar complexes as measured by equilibrium constants for bis pyridine adduct formation and the lability of pyridine in the adducts is explored.

The ditertiary arsine (CH3)2AsCH2CH(C(CH3)3)CD2As(CH3)2 (L–L) forms 'tetrahedral' (L–L)Ni(CO)2 and square planar (L–L)NiOC(CF3)2C(CF3)2O. In both complexes the conformations of the chelate rings are locked with the t-butyl groups equatorial. The dihedral angles are very similar in spite of the anticipated differences in angles at the central atom. The square planar complexes (L–L)′PtbipyCl2 and (L–L)2′PtCl2 and their palladium analogs ((L–L)′ = H2NCH2CH(C(CH3)3)CD2NH2) also have their chelate rings in locked chair conformations. This results in the identification of isomers in the case of (L–L)2′M2+. The 3JH–H couplings indicate that the dihedral angles are similar in the group VIII complexes with a degree of puckering which could be less than in related complexes of L–L. The 3JPt–H couplings indicate changes in the puckering about the N … N axis.

<div><div><div><p>Carboxylation reactions represent a very special class of chemical reactions that is characterized by the presence of a carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule as reactive species within its global chemical equation. These reactions work as fundamental gear to accomplish the CO2 fixation and thus to build up more complex molecules through different technological and biochemical processes. In this context, a correct description of the CO2 electronic structure turns out to be crucial to study the chemical and electronic properties associated with this kind of reactions. Here, a sys- tematic study of CO2 electronic structure and its contribution to different carboxylation reaction electronic energies has been carried out by means of several high-level ab-initio post-Hartree Fock (post-HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations for a set of biochemistry and inorganic systems. We have found that for a correct description of the CO2 electronic correlation energy it is necessary to include post-CCSD(T) contributions (beyond the gold standard). These high-order excitations are required to properly describe the interactions of the four π-electrons as- sociated with the two degenerated π-molecular orbitals of the CO2 molecule. Likewise, our results show that in some reactions it is possible to obtain accurate reaction electronic energy values with computationally less demanding methods when the error in the electronic correlation energy com- pensates between reactants and products. Furthermore, the provided post-HF reference values allowed to validate different DFT exchange-correlation functionals combined with different basis sets for chemical reactions that are relevant in biochemical CO2 fixing enzymes.</p></div></div></div>

The electrochemistry of four novel Fe(III) complexes of the type [Fe(L)Cl], involving quadridentate ligands based on the condensation products of benzoylacetone-S-methylisothiosemicarbazone with salicylaldehyde, 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde or 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde, was studied in DMF and DMSO at a GC electrode. All complexes undergo a two-step one-electron reductions, usually complicated by chemical reactions. In solutions containing Cl-, the ligand-exchange reactions Cl--DMF and Cl--DMSO take place. Stability of the chloride-containing complexes was discussed in terms of the coordinated ligand effect, oxidation state of the central atom and, in particular, of the donor effect of the solvent. Some relevant kinetic data were calculated.

Nuclear quadrupole resonance for the 35Cl nucleus has been observed in some chloro complexes of divalent copper. Square-planar complexes each show two resonance lines, with the following frequencies (at 77�K): (CH3NH3)2CuCl4, 10.780, 12.157 MHz; (C2H5NH3)2CuCl4, 10.817, 12.074 MHz; (enH2)CuCl4, 10.271, 11.901 MHz; and (C3H7NH3)2CuCl4 at 223�K, 11.290 and 11.781 MHz. NH4CuCl3, containing dimeric Cu2Cl62- units, has resonances, at 77�K, at 11.907, 11.993, and 12.448 MHz. The trigonal pyramidal anion in Co(NH3)6CuCl5 has two resonances at 9.642 and 10.352 MHz at 77�K. ��� These results are compared with previous results for copper chloro complexes, and the implications of covalent bonding are discussed. In particular, it is suggested that the long-bond interaction between units in square-planar complexes amounts to 7-16% of the bonding interaction within the units.
