Chemical bonding and aromaticity in trinuclear transition-metal halide clusters.
Trinuclear transition-metal complexes such as Re(3)X(9) (X = Cl, Br, I), with their uniquely featured structure among metal halides, have posed intriguing questions related to multicenter electron delocalization for several decades. Here we report a comprehensive study of the technetium halide clusters [Tc(3)(μ-X)(3)X(6)](0/1-/2-) (X = F, Cl, Br, I), isomorphous with their rhenium congeners, pr...
متن کاملCovalent bonding: the role of exchange effects.
It is stressed that the two-center exchange energy components lead to a significant lowering of the total molecular energy because of exclusion of self-repulsion, and this is inevitable for covalent bond formation. The success of the two-center bond order index relies on the fact that it gives a qualitative estimate of this important phenomenon.
متن کاملSlave-boson approach to the size-dependent transition from van der Waals to covalent bonding in Hg_n clusters
We use a microscopic theory to describe the dynamics of the valence electrons in divalent-metal clusters, The theory is based on a many-body model Harniltonian H which takes into account, on the same electronic level, thc van der Waals and the covalent bonding, In order to study the ground-state properties of H we have developed an extended slave-boson method. We have studied the bonding charac...
متن کاملMetal–ligand bonding in metallocenes: Differentiation between spin state, electrostatic and covalent bonding
We have analyzed metal–ligand bonding in metallocenes using density functional theory (DFT) at the OPBE/TZP level. This level of theory was recently shown to be the only DFT method able to correctly predict the spin ground state of iron complexes, and similar accuracy for spin ground states is found here. We considered metallocenes along the first-row transition metals (Sc–Zn) extended with alk...
متن کاملFrom covalent bonding to coalescence of metallic nanorods
Growth of metallic nanorods by physical vapor deposition is a common practice, and the origin of their dimensions is a characteristic length scale that depends on the three-dimensional Ehrlich-Schwoebel (3D ES) barrier. For most metals, the 3D ES barrier is large so the characteristic length scale is on the order of 200 nm. Using density functional theory-based ab initio calculations, this pape...
