Fe stability

Buell, McEwen, and Kleinberg have observed that weak acids such as hydrogen azide and acetic acid add readily across the double bond of vinylferrocene (XLI, M = Fe) (8). They have postulated that the mechanism of addition proceeds via intermediate formation of the a -ferrocenylcarbonium ion (X-LII, M = Fe), followed by conversion to the acetate (XLIII, M = Fe). Stabilization of carbonium ions of this type can result from overlap of filled metal orbitals with the vacant p -orbital of the carbonium ion.

It has been found that in noncoordinating solvents, electron-donating substituents on the phenyl rings of substituted tetraphenylporphyrin complexes of Fe stabilize the complex, that is the Hammett p value is negative. This behavior is opposite to that typically expected for Lewis base reactions with Lewis acids, and in particular other metallotetraphenylporphyrins, including Niii 1436 opposite to that observed for... 

In the case of Fe " ", the Mossbauer spectra have evidentiated that Fe " " taken up by the a-ZP or a-ZP-ligand phases generally modifies its oxidation state giving mixtures of Fe " " and Fe " " derivatives (24). Only for low loadings of Fe " " in phen-a-ZP is Fe " " stabilized as such in a tris-chelate low spin complex [Fe(phen) f(Figure 13-3 C). When the Fe content exceeds the... 

Fe(II) solutions in water are stable in absence of oxygen. But if oxygen is present and no acid has been added, one moves up in the diagram into the Fe(OH)3 region. The Fe ion is weakly acidic, so that the original solution may have pH about 5. The E value of, say, 0.1 M FeS04 is indeterminate. Equation (12-7) shows that some Fe(III) must form (by reaction with water), so that the E is not — 00, as a value of zero for (Fe ) produces in the Nernst equation. If one part per 10 forms Fe(III), the E is about 0.2 V, which lies in the Fe stability area at pH 5. 

In the following years, several experimental and theoretical studies on the FE properties of CNTs were performed [17-21]. These were mainly conducted using isolated [16,22], fiber-Uke [23,24], arrayed [25-30], and film-Uke CNTs [31-37]. In comparison with traditional metallic anitters, the merits of CNTs as a field anitler can be summarized as (1) low tum-on field (FJ or threshold field (Efl,), (2) enhanced FE current, (3) high field enhancanent factor, and (4) good FE stability. 

As was the case for Fe, stabilizing Ru-Group 4 complexes has benefited from the use of tripodal triamido ligands at the early metal. Several Ru-Ti complexes were formed in salt elimination reactions between K[Ru(CO)2Cp] and a Ti(L)X precursor, where L is a tripodal triamido ligand, such... 

Moreover, to investigate in detail the origin of the FE stabilization of the glycine ZW, we calculated the enthalpy and entropy contributions to the stabilization (see Fig. 8.3b), which were approximately estimated from the FE changes at two different temperature (300 and 320 K). It was found that the enthalpy changes of stabilization from the initial geometry optimized in the gas phase is -3.5 kcal moF The enthalpy contribution is larger than the entropy one (+2.6 kcal moF ), thus the enthalpy one is attributed to the stabilization in the FE in the course of the optimization procedure. 

Figure 8.4 shows the optimized TS structure for the Menshutkin reaction in the isolated state and that in aqueous solution obtained by the FEG method. The optimized values of / n-c and l c-ci for TS in solution are 1.97 and 2.07 A, respectively. In comparison with those lengths in the isolated state, it is found that the TS in solution shifts toward the reactant side. Moreover, the distance between NH3 and Cl group of TS in solution (1 n-ci = 4.04 A) becomes larger than that in the isolated state (/ n i = 3.90 A). Such stmctural deformation should enhance the charge separation of the solute complex, and consequently brings about the FE stability of TS. In fact, from the radial distribution functions (RDFs) with respect to... 

On the other hand, the FE of activation of the inverse reaction, AAjj, was 1.8 kcal moF (MP2) and is in good agreement with the estimation by the Car-Parrinello MD method ( 1.5 kcal moF [40]). On the contrary, the FE overestimation at the HF level could be understood mainly due to the incorrectness of the PE itself as shown in Fig. 8.8. It is understood that, for discussion of the FE stability of the proton transfer reaction of glycine in aqueous solution, it is essentially necessary to include the electron correlation effect at least by the MO calculation at the MP2 level.
