A density functional study of oxygen activation by unsaturated complexes [M(bipy)(2)](2+), M = Cr and Fe.
- Abstract:
-
Density functional theory is used to probe the reaction of O(2) with the unsaturated transition-metal fragments [M(bipy)(2)](2+), M = Cr, Fe. In both cases, calculations indicate that the O(2) molecule is initially trapped as an eta(2)-bound superoxide ion, where the unpaired electron in the out-of-plane pi orbital of O(2) is weakly coupled to those on the trivalent metal ion. In the chromium case, a cis-dioxo Cr(VI) complex is found to be significantly more stable than the superoxo species. ...
