Covalency Trends in Group IV Metallocene Dichlorides. Chlorine K-Edge X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Time Dependent-Density Functional Theory

Abstract: For 3-5d transition-metal ions, the (C5R5)2MCl2 (R = H, Me for M = Ti, Zr, Hf) bent metallocenes represent a series of compounds that have been central in the development of organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. Here, we evaluate how changes in the principal quantum number for the group IV (C5H5)2MCl2 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf; 1- 3, respectively) complexes affects the covalency of M-Cl bonds through application of Cl K-edge X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS). Spectra were recorded on solid samples disper… Show more

“…To evaluate the possible changes in Pd–P covalency in solution and the solid‐state, we performed dispersion‐corrected DFT and TDDFT calculations on 1 – 3 with a polarizable continuum model to simulate the CH 2 Cl 2 solution. The B3LYP functional was again selected because it has been shown to be remarkably accurate in the simulation of experimental XAS spectra via time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) , , , , , , . For consistency, TDDFT calculations for 1 – 3 from our previous study were recalculated with dispersion corrections for comparison to the dispersion‐corrected solution calculations presented here.…”

“…41,47,59,70,71,77,81-88 The computed spectra were carried out using linear response theory, based on density functional theory. This formalism is commonly referred in the community as TDDFT as it is from the time-dependent perturbation theory to DFT.…”

“…These calculations were conducted as previously described, 41,81-85,87,112 and involved evaluating core electron excitations by exploiting the small amount of mixing between the core orbitals and the high-lying unoccupied virtual orbitals. Specifically, this analysis involved a linear response calculation to extract the probability amplitudes from the transition densities and dipole moments between the calculated excited states and the ground states.…”
