Triplet carbenes: From fleeting existence to attractive molecular units*
نویسنده
چکیده
Attempts to stabilize the triplet state of carbenes to the extent that they can survive under normal conditions were made, in which triplet carbenes having a half-life of 19 min are realized. A way to use the resulting persistent carbene as a unit to construct photosensitive magnetic materials is also discussed.

The effects of halogens; fluorine, chlorine and bromine, on the stability and multiplicity of phenylcarbenes / silylenes/ germylenes structures are compared and contrasted at B3LYP/6-311++G**//B3LYP/6-31+G* level. The singlet-triplet energy gaps, ΔES-T , values for all the above speciesincrease through fluorinated up, ΔES-Ts and ΔEHOMO–LUMOs support the stability of the singlet statesinspite of...
متن کاملSinglet - Triplet Gaps in Substituted Carbenes CXY ( X , Y = H , F , C 1 , Br , I , SiH 3 )
Trends in the singlet-triplet state-splittings of substituted carbenes are found to be reproduced accurately with a very simple level of ab initio theory. The minimum balanced description, GVB( 1 /2), with a simple basis set yields singlet-triplet gaps that correlate linearly with available accurate values. This linear relationship is exploited to predict the state-splitting for the remaining m...

A large solvent polarity effect on the rate of singlet to triplet intersystem crossing (ksT) has been observed in the carbenes, diphenylcarbene (DPC) and dicycloheptadienylidene (DCHD)it is found that both ksT and the energy splitting (A&T) separtaing the singlet and triplet states decrease as the solvent polarity increases for the aromatic carbenes. This “inverse” gap effect, i.e. the time for...

متن کاملA density functional theory study on the stability and ligand properties of the different substituted phenyl carbenes
In regard to the worldwide interest in synthesis and application of stable carbenes, DFT calculations (B3LYP/6-311++G**//B3LYP/6-31+G* levels) are employed to reach at a series of phenyl carbenes. The singlet-triplet energy separations (ΔES-T), HOMO–LUMO energy gaps (ΔEHOMO-LUMO), as well as philicity indices (N and ω) and basicity of these carbenes are compared and contrasted with the synthesi...
