چکیده

Recent work has resulted in the discovery of the fluorocarbyne complex (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))Mo(CO)(2)(CF), in which the CF ligand behaves as a formal three-electron donor like the isoelectronic well-known NO ligand. In this connection the related fluorocarbyne cobalt carbonyls Co(CF)(CO)(n) (n = 3, 2, 1) and Co(2)(CF)(2)(CO)(n) (n = 6, 5, 4, 3, 2) have been studied by density functional theory. The lowest energy structures for the mononuclear Co(CF)(CO)(n) derivatives parallel those of the isoelectronic Co(NO)(CO)(n) and Ni(CO)(n+1) derivatives. The mononuclear fluorocarbyne complex Co(CF)(CO)(3) is predicted to be thermodynamically unstable with respect to dimerization to the difluoroacetylene complex (FCCF)Co(2)(CO)(6) by approximately 46 kcal mol(-1). The binuclear Co(2)(CF)(2)(CO)(n) structures can broadly be divided into two classes: (1) Structures in which the two CF ligands are coupled to form a Co(2)C(2) tetrahedrane derivative containing an FCCF ligand derived from difluoroacetylene; (2) Structures maintaining separate CF ligands. With important exceptions, the structures of the difluoroacetylene complexes (FCCF)Co(2)(CO)(n) (n = 6, 5, 4) parallel for the most part the structures predicted for the corresponding unsubstituted acetylene complexes. The relative energies of the Co(2)(CF)(2)(CO)(n) structures with separate CF ligands indicate that the CF ligand is a more favorable bridging ligand than the ubiquitous CO ligand.

Synthesis and investigation the thermal behavior thermodynamically of new metal Complex of Cobalt nitrate

Increasing the molecular accumulation and density of high-energy substances have a determinative role in improving the performance and intensity of energy release. Therefore, it is possible to increase the density of high-energy materials if the high-energy molecules can be arranged around a metal core as coordinated molecules. The aim of this project was to synthesize energetic complexes of cy...

DFT Study of 1H-tetrazolyl derivatives of tetrahedrane

Tetrazole-containing compounds have been the subject of much recent research because of theirpotential as high energy density materials (HEDMs). In this work, theoretical studies on the 1Htetrazolylderivatives of tetrahedrane were done at the density functional theory (DFT) method withthe 6-31G(d) basis set without any symmetrical restrictions in order to find the structural andenergetically pr...

Butterfly and rhombus structures for binuclear cobalt carbonyl sulfur and phosphinidene complexes of the type Co2(CO)6E2 (E = S, PX).

Theoretical studies on Co(2)(CO)(6)(PX)(2) derivatives (X = H, Cl, OH, OMe, NH(2), NMe(2)) predict the lowest energy structures to be butterfly structures containing five two-electron two-center bonds in the central Co(2)P(2) unit. Among these butterfly structures the energy increases as the unique bond forming the "body" of the butterfly changes from Co-Co to Co-P and then P-P. Higher energy r...
