Abstract
Through the DFT calculations, Axial and Equatorial isomers of [Ru(CO)4SiX] (X = O, S, Se, Te) were investigated using B3LYP level of theory. The obtained energetic values show that stability of axial isomer of [Ru(CO)4SiX] is more than equatorial isomer of [Ru(CO)4SiX]. From NPA and EDA analysis, we have obtained the bonding nature of this carbonyl complex. Hardness (ƞ) value obtained from FMO study decreases while changing the X from O to Te, which also reflected in the HOMO-LUMO energy gap whose values lies in the range of 3.96–5.12 eV. The WBI analysis indicates a bond index of RuSi bond. NBO analysis reveals that contribution from Ru is less in RuSi bond than Si. Similarly, the contribution from C is more than Si in the carbonyl group.
