The thermochemistry of group 15 tetrachloride anions

Abstract: Bond strengths for a series of Group 15 tetrachloride anions ACl4 (A = P, As, Sb, and Bi) have been determined by measuring thresholds for collision-induced dissociation of the anions in a flowing afterglow-tandem mass spectrometer. The central atoms in these systems have ten electrons, which violates the octet rule: the bond dissociation energies for ACl4- help to clarify the effect of the central atom on hypervalent bond strengths. The 0 K bond energies in kJ mol(-1) are D(Cl3A-CL-) = 90 +/- 7,115 +/- 7,161 … Show more

“…The bond strengths in the group 15 tetrachloride anions are also much stronger for heavier central elements: PCl 4 -, AsCl 4 -, and SbCl 4are bound by 90 ( 7, 115 ( 7, and 161 ( 8 kJ mol -1 , respectively. 64 However, the Pauling electronegativities of P, As, and Sb (2.19, 2.18, and 2.05, respectively) are very similar, as are the values for S and Se (2.58 and 2.55; the Te value is 2.10). Thus, central atom electronegativity is not well correlated with group 15 or 16 hypervalent bond strengths.…”

“…While this could conceivably be due to the experimental uncertainties, it is probably a systematic effect: previous cases have been noted where the heavier, more polarizable collision gas Xe (which is more likely to form a complex with the CID target and efficiently transfer energy from translational into internal degrees of freedom) gives lower thresholds that are more consistent with known thermochemistry (14, 38, 39). This is not always the case (40); systems with strong bonds and low densities of states (few atoms and high vibrational frequencies) are more likely to show this collision gas effect. Since the SO 3 Cl -and SO 3 Br -systems appear to show a moderate threshold shift of this type, SO 3 F -is likely to have a greater one.…”

“…Optimized geometrical parameters and computed harmonic vibrational frequencies of AsX and AsX 3 species, where X = H, F or Cl, obtained in the present study are given in Tables 2 and 3 respectively. Available experimental values [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] are included in these tables for comparison. (For AsX 2 species, see also our previous works).…”
