Correlated ab initio approaches to metal-metal bonding in the tricobalt extended metal atom chains

Abstract:

The extended metal atom chains are a family of complexes with a linear, metallic chain surrounded by four equatorial polydentate ligands and capped by two axial ligands. The tricobalt extended metal atom chains studied in this work have a trimetallic core with halide axial ligands: the fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide complexes. In this work we adopt correlated ab initio approaches (DFT and MCSCF) to the study of the metal-metal bonding between the cobalt atoms in the chain.
