  • Synthesis, Structure, and Thermoelastic Properties of LiSn2Br3(CN2) and Sn4Br2(CN2)(3)
    Item type: Journal Article
    Löber, Manuel; Ströbele, Markus; Romao, Carl Peter; et al. (2021)
    European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
    Tin carbodiimides have been reported with various compositions, prepared via solid-state metathesis reactions by heating tin halides and lithium carbodiimide at moderate temperatures. The formations of two new compounds, LiSn2Br3(CN2) and Sn4Br2(CN2)(3) are monitored by differential thermal analysis (DTA), and crystal structures are reported as refined on basis of X-ray diffraction studies. The structure of LiSn2Br3(CN2) can be described by two interpenetrating frameworks of corner-linked coordination polyhedra, raising the possibility of negative thermal expansion (NTE) as investigated by density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). Like some previously reported tin carbodiimide compounds, LiSn2Br3(CN2) was also found to be a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 2.5 eV, as determined by DFT calculations.

  • Energy Production and Storage Promoted by Organometallic Complexes
    Item type: Review Article
    Bellini, Marco; Bevilacqua, Manuela; Marchionni, Andrea; et al. (2018)
    European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
    Organometallic complexes have intrinsically excellent characteristics as a new class of electrocatalyst for clean energy production in fuel cells and electrolyzers. The state‐of‐the‐art materials for these devices are based on precious metal nanoparticles dispersed on conductive carbon‐based supports. Although such materials have reached very high performance levels in terms of activity and stability, they suffer from some intrinsic limitations that contribute to hinder the commercial development of fuel cells and electrolyzers on a large scale. Organometallic‐based electrocatalysts may help to overcome such limitations. For example, they exhibit high selectivity in alcohol and sugar electrooxidation. Additionally, precious metal loadings can be reduced significantly using single site organometallic catalysts where each metal atom is potentially active. In this review, we will discuss various literature examples of organometallic electrocatalysts employed as anodes for fuel cells and electrolyzers and as cathodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). We will focus our attention on the few examples of electrocatalysts that have been successfully used in complete cells.
  • Mononuclear Platinum(II) complexes of a bis(bidentate) ligand based on 1,3,4-Oxadiazole and their reactions with Copper(I) salts
    Item type: Journal Article
    Moret, Marc-Etienne; Chen, Peter (2010)
    European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
    Reaction of the bis(bidentate) ligand 2,5-bis[2-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole (oxanMe) with the precursors trans-[PtMeCl(SMe2)2] and [(PhCN)2PtCl2] afforded the mononuclear complexes [(oxanMe)Pt(Me)Cl] and [(oxanMe)PtCl2], respectively. [(oxanMe)PtMe2] was observed in equilibrium with oxanMe, [Pt2Me4(μ-SMe2)2], and [PtMe2(SMe2)2], but could not be isolated. Reaction of [(oxanMe)PtCl2] with silver acetate gave access to [(oxanMe)Pt(OAc)2] in excellent yield. The latter was treated with [Cu(NCMe)4]BArF, resulting in a disproportionation reaction that afforded the novel trimetallic complex {[(oxanMe)Pt(OOCCH3)2]2Cu}{BArF}2. This complex features a linear PtII–CuII–PtII chain consisting of two Pt→Cu dative bonds supported by two bridging acetate ligands each.
  • Isomerism and Biradical Character of Tetrapnictide Dianions: A Computational Study
    Item type: Journal Article
    Coburger, Peter; Wolf, Robert; Grützmacher, Hansjörg (2020)
    European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
    We present a computational study on tetrapnictide dianions Pn42– (Pn = P, As, Sb, Bi), using density functional theory (DFT), coupled‐cluster [DLPNO‐CCSD(T)] and complete active space self‐consistent field (CASSCF) methods. Environmental effects such as solvation and coordination of counterions are included. The calculations reveal that out of three isomers (square‐planar, butterfly and capped‐triangle), the square planar isomers are generally the most stable. The counterion (Li+ and Mg2+) used in the calculations have a substantial effect on the relative stabilities. The square planar isomers show considerable biradical character. Calculated reactions toward alkenes indicate that this unusual electronic structure has significant implications on the reactivity of the Pn42– dianions.
