To study the Cu-Cu interaction and stability of the title complexes,the structures of complexes [Cu(Ph2Ppy)(CH3CN)]+ 1,[Cu(Ph2Ppy)]+ 2,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2(CH3CN)2]2+ 3,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2(CH3CN)]2+ 4,[Cu2(Ph2Pp...To study the Cu-Cu interaction and stability of the title complexes,the structures of complexes [Cu(Ph2Ppy)(CH3CN)]+ 1,[Cu(Ph2Ppy)]+ 2,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2(CH3CN)2]2+ 3,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2(CH3CN)]2+ 4,[Cu2(Ph2Ppy)2]2+ 5 and [Cu2(Ph2Ppy)3(CH3CN)]2+ 6 were calculated by density functional theory PBE0 method,and the following conclusions can be drawn:(1) There is no orbital overlapping between two Cu atoms,indicating no Cu-Cu orbital interaction exists in complexes 3~6.Due to a breakdown of the closed shell configuration of Cu atoms,the weak Cu-Cu interactions result from the 3dCu → 4sCu' charge-transfer in 4~6.The Cu-Cu interaction strength follows 5 〉 6 〉 4,implying that there are stronger Cu-Cu interactions in the complexes with fewer CH3CN or more Ph2Ppy ligands.(2) The calculated interaction energies suggest that the coordination of Cu to Ph2Ppy is stronger than that to CH3CN.In 3~6,there are weaker interactions between Cu and CH3CN or Ph2Ppy in the complexes with more CH3CN or Ph2Ppy ligands.(3) The P-Cu and N-Cu interactions are much stronger than the Cu-Cu interaction,so we mainly attribute the stabilities of the binuclear complexes to the eight-membered rings Cu2P2N2C2.展开更多
In order to study the Fe-Cu interactions and their effects on 31p NMR, the structures of mononuclear complex Fe(CO)3fPhzPpy)a 1 and binuclear complexes Fe(CO)3(PhEPpy)z(CuXn) (2: Xn = Cl2^2-, 3: Xn = Cl-, ...In order to study the Fe-Cu interactions and their effects on 31p NMR, the structures of mononuclear complex Fe(CO)3fPhzPpy)a 1 and binuclear complexes Fe(CO)3(PhEPpy)z(CuXn) (2: Xn = Cl2^2-, 3: Xn = Cl-, 4: Xn = Br-) are calculated by density functional theory (DFT) PBE0 method. For complexes 1, 3 and 4, the 31p NMR chemical shifts calculated by PBE0-GIAO method are in good agreement with experimental results. The 31p chemical shift is 82.10 ppm in the designed complex 2. The Fe-Cu interactions (including Fe→Cu and Fe←Cu charge transfer) mainly exhibit the indirect interactions. Moreover, the Fe-Cu(I) interactions (mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and aFe-C→4Scu charge transfer) in complexes 3 and 4 are stronger than Fe-Cu(Ⅱ) interactions (mostly acting as σFe-p→4Scu and σFe-p←4Sc,) in complex 2. In complex 2, the stronger Fe←Cu interac- tions, acting as σFe-p←44SCu charge transfer, increase the electron density on P nucleus, which causes the upfield 31p chemical shift compared with mononuclear complex 1. For 3 and 4, although a little deshielding for P nucleus is derived from the delocalization of σFe-p→4Scu due to the Fe→Cu interactions, the stronger σFe-c→np charge-transfer finally increases the electron density on P nucleus. As a result, an upfield 31p chemical shift is observed compared with 1. The stability follows the order of 2〉3=4, indicating that Fe(CO)3(PhzPpy)2(CuCl2) is stable and could be synthesized experimentally. The N-Cu(Ⅱ) interaction plays an important role in the stability of 2. Because the delocalization of σFe-p→4SCu and σFe-c→πc-o weakens the a bonds of Fe-C and ~r bonds of CO, it is favorable for increasing the catalytic activity of binuclear complexes. Complexes 3 and 4 are expected to show higher catalytic activity compared to 2.展开更多
