A Density functional theory and semi empirical calculation have been carried out on a first row transition metal complexes, Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) to predict molecular properties of the metal complexes chelated to the intermediate Schiff base, IDIPA, derived from ninhydrin and , L-alanine in their octahedral structure. Geometry and infrared spectra of the metal complexes, Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) were calculated with B3LYP method using 6-31G, 3-21G(d), 6-31G(d), 3-21G(d), and 3-21G(d) basis set, respectively, and compared with their experimental data. The electronic spectra of the ligand and metal complexes were also performed with ZINDO method. The geometry of the metal complexes were predicted and the ligand were characterized as tridentate and monobasic potential ligand for the metals in their octahedral structure. The electronic spectral calculation of the metal complexes were clearly indicative of a coordination of six in which the number of ligands, IDIPA, coordinated to the metal vary for the first two metal complexes, Mn(II), Fe(III)
Recent advances in machine learning or artificial intelligence for vision and natural language processing that have enabled the development of new technologies such as personal assistants or self-driving cars have brought machine learning and artificial intelligence to the forefront of popular culture. The accumulation of these algorithmic advances along with the increasing availability of large data sets and readily available high performance computing has played an important role in bringing machine learning applications to such a wide range of disciplines. Given the emphasis in the chemical sciences on the relationship between structure and function, whether in biochemistry or in materials chemistry, adoption of machine learning by chemistsderivations where they are important
The novel alkoxide ligand [OCtBu2Ph], or [OR], was synthesized in a single step as a lithium salt. It was then reacted with a series of first-row transition metal(II) halides, with widely varying results. Upon reaction with chromium, manganese, iron, or cobalt(II) chloride, dimeric complexes of the form M2(OR)4Li2Cl2 were formed, which displayed rare seesaw geometry at the metal. This unusual geometry was confirmed by various spectroscopic and computational studies. Computational studies also indicate that the steric bulk of the ligand, as well as the inclusion of lithium atoms in the molecules, are what lead to the seesaw geometry. Reaction of [OR] with nickel(II) halides generates monomeric species of the form Ni(OR)2XLi(THF)2 (X = Cl, Br), which display distorted trigonal planar geometry at three-coordinate nickel. Dimerization likely does not occur for nickel due to its smaller size. DFT studies support preference for nickel to form the monomer. Reaction of [OR] with copper(II) halides leads to reduction of the copper center by one electron, generating the tetramer Cu4(OR)4. Reduction of copper(II) by an alkoxide is a novel transformation. Spectroscopic studies to probe the mechanism suggest that Cu(OR)2XLi(THF)2 may be an intermediate prior to reduction. Observation by NMR of the ketone Ph(C=O)tBu and ROH suggest that alkoxide reduces the copper to give an alkoxide radical, which then decomposes via ß-scission. To form the desired bis(alkoxide) system, the halide-containing alkoxide complexes were reacted with thallium(I) hexafluorophosphate. For manganese, iron, and copper, complexes of the form M(OR)2(THF)2 were isolated. The bis(alkoxide) complexes display distorted tetrahedral geometry at the metal, with large RO-M-OR angles. Cyclic voltammetry of these species show that the iron bis(alkoxide) is the most easily reduced of the three.
Supported transition metal (TM) complexes are an emerging class of materials with many potential applications in the chemical industry ranging from separations to catalysis. They offer increased tunability and often also improved performance over their bulk heterogeneous counterparts. Their study and rational design is, however, accompanied by several unique considerations and challenges that we address in this thesis. The first part of the thesis broadly develops and applies computational screening strategies for supported TM complexes. First, we detail how weak C-H[superscript ...]O hydrogen bonds can be exploited to increase selectivity of ferrocenium (Fc+)-based polymer electrode materials for formate adsorption over perchlorate adsorption while maintaining reasonable desorption rates in the reduced (ferrocene, Fc) state. Through a systematic characterization of formate and perchlorate interactions with a small (ca. 40) but diverse set of functionalized Fc+ complexes, we identify and rationalize design rules for functionalizations that simultaneously increase selectivity for formate in aqueous environments while permitting rapid release from Fc. Next, we screen a larger (ca. 500) set of model Fe(II) complexes for methane hydroxylation in order to assess if linear free energy relationships (LFERs), extensively developed to reduce the computational cost of computationally screening bulk heterogeneous catalysts, can also be applied to supported single-site TM catalysts. We demonstrate that structural distortions achievable in porous frameworks and chelating ligands break these LFERs by altering relative d-orbital splittings, thereby revealing a potential strategy for improving the activity of these catalysts. Finally, to address a particularly pervasive issue in density functional theory (DFT) studies of first-row open-shell TM complexes, we investigate how the fraction of exact exchange parameterized in the functional affects computed reaction and spin-splitting energies. We rationalize this sensitivity in terms of differences in metal-ligand electron delocalization and introduce the metal-ligand bond valence as a simple, yet robust, descriptor that unifies understanding of exchange sensitivity for catalytic properties and spin-state ordering in TM complexes.
