Cerium (III) Complexes Modeling with Sparkle/PM3
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Sparkle/PM3 model is extended to cerium(III) complexes. The validation procedure was carried out using only high quality crystallographic structures (R factor < 0.05Å), for a total of thirty-seven Ce(III) complexes. The Sparkle/PM3 unsigned mean error, for all interatomic distances between the Ce(III) ion and the directly coordinating oxygen or nitrogen atoms, is 0.080Å, a level of accuracy equivalent to the Sparkle/AM1 figure of 0.083Å. Moreover, their accuracy is similar to what can be obtained by present-day ab initio effective core potential full geometry optimization calculations on such lanthanide complexes.

RM1 Semiempirical Quantum Chemistry: Parameters for Trivalent Lanthanum, Cerium and Praseodymium
The RM1 model for the lanthanides is parameterized for complexes of the trications of lanthanum, cerium, and praseodymium. The semiempirical quantum chemical model core stands for the [Xe]4fn electronic configuration, with n =0,1,2 for La(III), Ce(III), and Pr(III), respectively. In addition, the valence shell is described by three electrons in a set of 5d, 6s, and 6p orbitals. Results indicate...

An Erbium(III) quaternary chelate, nitratebis(2,4-hexanedionate)mono(2,2-bipyridine) erbium(III), has been synthesized and its structure elucidated by X-ray diffraction. There are two independent lanthanide complexes in the asymmetric unit cell. The ligands coordinate the Er(III) in a square anti-prismatic geometry. In the theoretical part of this study, semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods...
