Abstract:First principle based quantum chemical methods are employed to characterize structure, bonding, and spectral properties of sulfur and selenium based dichalcogen systems in presence of an excess electron. Inter molecular two-center three-electron (2c-3e) bonding between two chalcogen (X) atoms is described in the systems of the type (R-X) 2•-(R = Ph, PhCH 2 X = S, Se). In addition, effect of electron withdrawing (-NO 2 ) and electron donating (-CH 3 ) groups in phenyl ring on the stability of these 2c-3e bonded… Show more
