Abstract:

Herein, a theoretical study on the stability of some vic-dioxime complexes of Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) in gas and aqueous phases is reported. The DFT/M06/SDD and DFT/M06/6-31G+(d,p) levels of theory were adopted for the metal ions and for every other element respectively. Structural analyses of investigated complexes have revealed square planar geometries stabilized by two O–H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. Analysis of hydrogen bond energies calculated via quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and computed chemical hardness values has revealed that the stability of the complexes is determined by the hydrogen bond strength. Natural population analysis has revealed ligand-metal charge transfer in the complexes investigated. A good linear agreement with correlation coefficient 0.992 has been found between calculated and experimental IR vibrational frequencies, indicating the validity of the theoretical method employed herein. Negative binding energies obtained are indicative of the stability of the complexes, thus affirming the use of vic-dioximes ligands as potential d8 transition metal eliminating agents in solution.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Antibacterial Studies of Pd(II) and Pt(II) Complexes of Some Diaminopyrimidine Derivatives

Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes of trimethoprim and pyrimethamine were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopy. The complexes are formulated as four coordinate square planar species containing two molecules of the drugs and two chloride or thiocyanate ions. The coordination of the metal ions to the pyrimidine nitrogen atom of the drugs was confirmed b...

Benchmark Study of the Performance of Density Functional Theory for Bond Activations with (Ni,Pd)-Based Transition-Metal Catalysts

The performance of 23 density functionals, including one LDA, four GGAs, three meta-GGAs, three hybrid GGAs, eight hybrid meta-GGAs, and ten double-hybrid functionals, was investigated for the computation of activation energies of various covalent main-group single bonds by four catalysts: Pd, PdCl(-), PdCl2, and Ni (all in the singlet state). A reactant complex, the barrier, and reaction energ...
