Abstract
In this paper, preference of protonation and anion binding to Chatt-type tungsten complex [W(Ph2(CH2)2Ph2)2(N2)2] was investigated. Optimization of metal complexes [W(PH2(CH2)2PH2)2(N2)2], [W(PH2(CH2)2PH2)2N2FH], [W(PH2(CH2)2PH2)2(N2)2H] and [W(PH2(CH2)2PH2)2N2F] was carried out using density functional theory (DFT). Diethyl ether solution of HBF4 was used as a proton source. DFT calculations were carried out to understand the reactivity pattern shown by Chatt-type dinitrogen (N2) complex. Thermodynamic energy values for the protonation of coordinated dinitrogen followed by anion binding; anion binding followed by protonation; and simultaneous reaction of protonation of dinitrogen and anion binding have been calculated. The energy values revealed that the protonation of dinitrogen followed by anion binding is preferable over anion binding followed by protonation.
