The latter undergo deselenization via ligand exchange to form phosphonium salts (P–X)+X− and elemental selenium. The stability of these salts depends on the substituents at the phosphorus atom and the type of counter ion. It is likely that the phosphonium salts are in equilibrium with the corresponding phosphoranes, and this is demonstrated for esters containing an o-phenylene ligand. The structures of phosphonium salts, phosphoranes and other phosphorus compounds are supported by 31P NMR spectroscopy data and electrical conductivity. Additional evidence comes from addition reactions of halogenoselenophosphonium salts to cyclohexene.","PeriodicalId":17317,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Chemical Society-dalton Transactions","volume":"9 1","pages":"4471-4478"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90264025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Genetic Algorithm is used to find the lowest energy structures for each nuclearity and composition. A variety of structure types (icosahedral, decahedral, fcc close-packed and disordered) are observed for Pt clusters. The Pd clusters have similar geometries to those of Pt, though more icosahedral clusters and fewer disordered structures are found than for Pt. Global minima are generally more difficult to find for the bimetallic Pt–Pd clusters, due to the presence of homotops (structures with identical geometries but with different arrangements of the Pt and Pd atoms) as well as geometrical isomers. The structures found for the bimetallic clusters are different to those of either of the pure element clusters, with more decahedral structures and fewer icosahedra. Segregation is observed in the Pt–Pd clusters, with most having Pt-rich cores and Pd-rich surfaces. This is explained in terms of the lower surface energy of Pd and the higher cohesive energy of Pt. Doping of Pt atoms into Pd clusters (and vice versa) is found to lead to significant changes in cluster geometry. The effect of varying the Pt–Pd parameters of the Gupta potential on the geometrical structures and atomic segregation in Pt–Pd clusters is investigated and the parameters obtained by averaging the Pt–Pt and Pd–Pd parameters are found to give best agreement with experiment. Our results are generally in good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical studies of Pt, Pd and Pt–Pd clusters and related alloy systems.","PeriodicalId":17317,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Chemical Society-dalton Transactions","volume":"3 1","pages":"4375-4388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78235572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each unit exhibits a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry around the V atoms involving the O,N,O atoms of the Schiff base ligand and the bridging O(oxo) atom. The VIV–O–VV bridge is almost linear (angle: 170.9(3)°), indicating extensive electron delocalization, and the V–O(oxo) bond lengths are 1.811(5) and 1.836(5)A.

The results obtained indicate that for X = bpy the CL-diastereomers are more stable than the AL-diastereomers, and the energy differences increase with the degree of substitution on the β-carbon atom of the amino acid.

The crystal structure of bisaquamercury(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate shows an unusual connectivity pattern. The mercury(II) ion strongly binds two water molecules axially with the Hg–O bond distance 2.11 A, and four oxygen atoms from four trifluoromethanesulfonate ions complete a tetragonally compressed octahedral coordination geometry, at the mean Hg–O distance 2.53 A. Two trifluoromethanesulfonate ions form double bridges between the bisaquamercury(II) entities giving rise to infinite >Hg(OH2)2 Hg(OH2)2< chains. The parallel chains are held together in layers by relatively strong hydrogen bonds with O(–H)⋯O distances in the range 2.688(9)–2.735(9) \u0000A. The O–D stretching vibrational frequencies of the hydrogen bonds in the partly deuterated compound occur in a broad band at about 2400 cm−1, bandwidth ca. 170 cm−1. The layers are connected only via van der Waals interactions between the protruding CF3 groups, consistent with the fragile sheet-like structure of the crystalline compound. Trisaquathallium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate crystallises as molecular complexes where each thallium(III) ion binds three water molecules and three oxygen atoms from trifluoromethanesulfonate ions, with Tl–O bond distances in the range 2.18–2.24 A. A hydrogen bond network between the water molecules and trifluoromethanesulfonate ions with O(–H)⋯O distances in the range 2.65(1)–2.80(1) \u0000A holds the structure together. Raman and infrared spectra have been recorded and analysed. The changes in force constants and vibrational frequencies have been correlated with bond lengths for the S–O bond in the coordinated trifluoromethanesulfonate ion and for the Hg–O and Tl–O bonds, also including the hexaaquaions in the comparisons.","PeriodicalId":17317,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Chemical Society-dalton Transactions","volume":"10 1","pages":"4357-4364"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77893472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
