Abstract
Some retro-pericyclic reactions, as a result of their high exothermicity and short trajectories, are the perfect ground for heavy atom tunneling molecular decompositions, also known as "quantum tunneling instability" (QTI). Considering this effect, in our first installment [Frenklach, A.; Amlani, H.; Kozuch, S. Quantum Tunneling Instability in Pericyclic Reactions. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, 146 (17), 11823-11834, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c00608], we computed several retro-Diels-Alder reactions, predicting that many studied reactants cannot be isolated. Herein, we will explore the QTI of retro-cheletropic, coarctate, and ene exemplars, where again we hypothesize the impossibility to detect their reactants.

Abstract
The existence of the N→C dative bonds in the complexes between N-containing molecules and fullerenes have been verified both theoretically and experimentally. However, finding stable N→C dative bonds is still a highly challenging task. In this work, we investigated computationally the N→C dative bonds in the complexes formed by fullerene C60 with 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazoles, 2,1,3-benzochalcogenadiazoles, and 1,2,4,5-chalcogenatriazoles, respectively. It was found that the N→C dative bonds are formed along with the formation of the N-Ch···C (Ch = S, Se, Te) chalcogen bonds. In the gas phase, from S-containing complexes through Se-containing complexes to Te-containing complexes, the intrinsic interaction energies become more and more negative, which indicates that the N-Ch···C chalcogen bonds can facilitate the formation of the N→C dative bonds. The intrinsic interaction energies are compensated by the large deformation energy of fullerene C60. The total interaction energies of Te-containing complexes are negative, while both total interaction energies of the S-containing complexes and Se-containing complexes are positive. This means that the N→C dative bonds in the Te-containing complexes are more easily observed in experiments in comparison with those in the S-containing complexes and Se-containing complexes. This study provides a new theoretical perspective on the experimental observation of the N→C dative bonds in complexes involving fullerenes. Further, the formation of stable N→C dative bonds in the complexes involving fullerenes can significantly change the properties of fullerenes, which will greatly simulate and expand the application range of fullerenes.

Abstract
New developments in the field of Lewis acidity are highlighted, with the focus of novel Lewis acids and Lewis superacids of group 2, 13, 14, and 15 elements. Several important basics, illustrated by modern examples (classification of Donor-Acceptor (DA) complexes, amphoteric nature of any compound in terms of DA interactions, reorganization energies of main group Lewis acids and the role of the energies of frontier orbitals) are presented and discussed. It is emphasized that the Lewis acidity phenomena are general and play vital role in different areas of chemistry: from weak "atomophilic" interactions to the complexes of Lewis superacids.

Abstract
Boron nitrides are very important and are used as lubricants, insulating agents, etc. Interactions of such systems with small molecules are important. This study examined the potential of B3N3 (triboron trinitride) to act as both an electron acceptor and an electron donor in the formation of noncovalent interactions. The anisotropic electronic distribution observed in the electrostatic potential map supported the B3N3's ability to exhibit the predicted electron donor-acceptor duality. Further computational investigations on optimized gas-phase complexes of B3N3:(NH3)n=1-3, B3N3:(NCH)n=1-6, B3N3:(N2H2)n=1-3 and (B3N3)2 confirmed that the B3N3 molecule can participate in B⋯N triel bonding interactions and H···N hydrogen bonding interactions. These energetically stable complexes are primarily governed by electrostatic and polarization interactions.

Abstract
In general, the stability of neutral complexes with dative bonds increases as the polarity of the solvent increases. This is based on the fact that the dipole moment of the complex increases as the charge transferred from the donor to the acceptor increases. As a result, the solvation energy of the complex becomes greater than that of subsystems, causing an increase in the stabilization energy with increasing solvent polarity. Our research confirms this assumption, but only when the charge transfer is sufficiently large. If it is below a certain threshold, the increase in the complex's dipole moment is insufficient to result in a higher solvation energy than subsystems. Thus, the magnitude of the charge transfer in the Lewis electron-pair system determines the stability trends of dative bonds with varying solvent polarity. We used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on an explicit solvent model, which is considered more reliable, to verify the results obtained with a continuous solvent model.

Abstract
The formal Cu(III) complex [Cu(CF3)4]1- has often served as a paradigmatic example of challenging oxidation state assignment - with many reports proposing conflicting descriptions. Here we report a computational analysis of this compound, employing Energy Decomposition Analysis and Intrinsic Bond Orbital Analysis. We present a quasi-d 10 perspective of the metal centre, resulting from ambiguities in d-electron counting. The implications for describing reactions which undergo oxidation state changes, such as the formal reductive elimination from the analogous [Cu(CF3)3(CH2Ph)]1- complex (Paeth et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2019, 141, 3153), are probed. Electron flow analysis finds that the changes in electronic structure may be understood as a quasi-d 10 to d 10 transition at the metal centre, rendering this process essentially redox neutral. This is reminiscent of a previously studied formal Ni(IV) complex (Steen et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2019, 58, 13133-13139), and indicates that our description of electronic structure has implications for the understanding of elementary organometallic reaction steps.

Abstract
![]()
Understanding the fundamental properties governing metal–metal
interactions is crucial to understanding the electronic structure
and thereby applications of multimetallic systems in catalysis, material
science, and magnetism. One such property that is relatively underexplored
within multimetallic systems is metal–metal bond polarity,
parameterized by the electronegativities (χ) of the metal atoms
involved in the bond. In heterobimetallic systems, metal–metal
bond polarity is a function of the donor–acceptor (Δχ)
interactions of the two bonded metal atoms, with electropositive early
transition metals acting as electron acceptors and electronegative
late transition metals acting as electron donors. We show in this
work, through the preparation and systematic study of a series of
Mo2M(dpa)4(OTf)2 (M = Cr, Mn, Fe,
Co, and Ni; dpa = 2,2′-dipyridylamide; OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate)
heterometallic extended metal atom chain (HEMAC) complexes that this
expected trend in χ can be reversed. Physical characterization
via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetometry, and spectroscopic
methods as well as electronic structure calculations supports the
presence of a σ symmetry 3c/3e– bond that
is delocalized across the entire metal-atom chain and forms the basis
of the heterometallic Mo2–M interaction. The delocalized
3c/3e– interaction is discussed within the context
of the analogous 3c/3e– π bonding in the vinoxy
radical, CH2CHO. The vinoxy comparison establishes three
predictions for the σ symmetry 3c/3e– bond
in HEMACS: (1) an umpolung effect that causes the
Mo–M interactions to become more covalent as Δχ
increases, (2) distortion of the σ bonding and non-bonding orbitals
to emphasize Mo–M bonding and de-emphasize Mo–Mo bonding,
and (3) an increase in Mo spin population with increasing Mo–M
covalency. In agreement with these predictions, we find that the Mo2···M covalency increases with increasing Δχ
of the Mo and M atoms (ΔχMo–M increases
as M = Cr < Mn < Fe < Co < Ni), an umpolung of the trend predicted in the absence of σ delocalization.
We attribute the observed trend in covalency to the decreased energic
differential (ΔE) between the heterometal orbital and the σ bonding molecular
orbital of the Mo2 quadruple bond, which serves as an energetically
stable, “ligand”-like electron-pair donor to the heterometal
ion acceptor. As M is changed from Cr to Ni, the σ bonding and
nonbonding orbitals do indeed distort as anticipated, and the spin
population of the outer Mo group is increased by at least a factor
of 2. These findings provide a predictive framework for multimetallic
compounds and advance the current understanding of the electronic
structures of molecular heteromultimetallic systems, which can be
extrapolated to applications in the context of mixed-metal surface
catalysis and multimetallic proteins. This
work describes how use of a metal−metal quadruply
bonded metalloligand can reverse expected trends in metal−metal
bond polarity through the preparation and systematic study of a novel
series of Mo2M(dpa)4(OTf)2 (M = Cr,
Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) heterotrimetallic extended metal atom chain (HEMAC)
complexes. These complexes feature a 3c/3e− metal−metal
bond that is delocalized across the entire metal atom chain and is
compared to the 3c/3e− π bonding in the vinoxyl
radical.

Abstract
Dative bonding or Lewis acid-base chemistry underpins a large number of chemical phenomena in a variety of fields, such as catalysis, metal-ligand interactions, and surface chemistry. Developing light-controlled Lewis acid-base interactions could offer a new way of controlling and understanding such phenomena. Photoinduced proton transfer, that is, excited-state Brønsted acidity and basicity, has been extensively studied and applied. Here, in direct analogy to excited-state Brønsted basicity, we show that exciting a photobasic molecule with light generates a thermodynamic drive for the transfer of a Lewis acid from a donor to a photobasic molecule. We have used the archetypal BF3 as our Lewis acid and our photoactive Lewis bases are a family of quinolines, which are known Brønsted photobases as well. We have constructed the experimental Förster cycle for this system and have verified it computationally to demonstrate that a significant drive (0.2-0.7 eV) exists for the transfer of BF3 to a photoexcited quinoline. The magnitude of this drive is similar to those reported for Brønsted photobasicity in quinolines. Computational results from TDDFT and energy decomposition analysis show that the origin of such an effect is similar to the Brønsted photoactivity of these molecules, in that they follow the Hammett parameter of substituent groups. These results suggest that photobases may be capable of controlling the chemical phenomena beyond proton transfer and may open opportunities for a new handle in photocatalysis.

Abstract
It is generally expected that a solvent has only marginal effect on the stability of a covalent bond. In this work, we present a combined computational and experimental study showing a surprising stabilization of the covalent/dative bond in Me3NBH3 complex with increasing solvent polarity. The results show that for a given complex, its stability correlates with the strength of the bond. Notably, the trends in calculated changes of binding (free) energies, observed with increasing solvent polarity, match the differences in the solvation energies (ΔEsolv) of the complex and isolated fragments. Furthermore, the studies performed on the set of the dative complexes, with different atoms involved in the bond, show a linear correlation between the changes of binding free energies and ΔEsolv. The observed data indicate that the ionic part of the combined ionic-covalent character of the bond is responsible for the stabilizing effects of solvents. Non covalent complexes are often considerably destabilized in the solvent. Here the authors combine vibrational Raman and NMR spectroscopy with a coupled-cluster computational investigation to show that the solvent polarity enhance the complex stability of a Me3NBH3 complex.

Abstract
The pyridine-borane (PyBH3) complex was analyzed by Raman vibrational spectroscopy and density functional theory to elucidate its structural and vibrational properties and to compare these with those for neat pyridine (Py). The borane-nitrogen (BN) bond length, the BN dative bond stretching frequency, and the effects of dative-bonded complex formation on Py are presented. Rather than having a single isolated stretching motion, the complex exhibits multiple BN dative bond stretches that are coupled to Py's vibrations. These modes exhibit large shifts that are higher in energy relative to neat Py, similar to previous observations of Py/water mixtures. However, significantly higher charge transfer was observed in the dative-bonded complex when compared to the hydrogen-bonded complex with water. A linear relationship between charge transfer and shifts to higher frequencies of pyridine's vibrational modes agrees well with earlier observations. The present work is of interest to those seeking a stronger relationship between charge-transfer events and concomitant changes in molecular properties.

Abstract
Hole interactions are known by different names depending on the key atom of the bond (halogen bond, chalcogen bond, hydrogen bond, etc.), and the geometry of the interaction (σ if in line, π if perpendicular to the Lewis acid plane). However, its origin starts with the creation of a Lewis acid by an underlying covalent bond, which forms an electrostatic depletion and a virtual antibonding orbital, which can create non-covalent interactions with Lewis bases. In this (maybe subjective) perspective, we will claim that hole interactions must be defined via the molecular orbital origin of the molecule. Under this premise we can better explore the richness of such bonding patterns. For that, we will study old, recent and new systems, trying to pinpoint some misinterpretations that are often associated with them. We will use as exemplars the triel bonds, a couple of metal complexes, a discussion on convergent σ-holes, and many cases of anti-electrostatic hole interactions.

Abstract
The nature of donor-acceptor interactions is important for the understanding of dative bonding and can provide vital insights into many chemical processes. Here, we have performed a computational study to elucidate substantial differences between different types of dative interactions. For this purpose, a data set of 20 molecular complexes stabilized by dative bonds was developed (DAT20). A benchmark study that considers many popular density functionals with respect to accurate quantum chemical interaction energies and geometries revealed two different trends between the complexes of DAT20. This behavior was further explored by means of frontier molecular orbitals, extended-transition-state natural orbitals for chemical valence (ETS-NOCV), and natural energy decomposition analysis (NEDA). These methods revealed the extent of the forward and backdonation between the donor and acceptor molecules and how they influence the total interaction energies and molecular geometries. A new classification of dative bonds is suggested.

Abstract
The P-C dative/covalent bonds formed in R3P-C60 complexes (R = OCH3, N(CH3)2, NC4H8) have been affected by the nature of the R group. The highest stabilisation (18.7 kcal mol-1) has been found in the last system. The contribution of dispersion energies in the stabilisation also varies depending on the R group. The nature of the P→C bond has been characterised using state-of-the-art quantum-chemical techniques including NBO, AIM and ELF. The P→C dative bond is significantly different from the prototype dative bonds appearing in H3N→BH3 as well as in the fullerene - secondary-amine complexes previously studied by us. The findings obtained through electron structure theory have been supported by 10 ps DFT-D MD simulations.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a range of bis(iminophosphoranyl)phosphide (BIPP) group 4 and coinage metals complexes is reported. BIPP ligands bind group 4 metals in a pseudo fac-fashion, and the central phosphorus atom enables the formation of d0–d10 heterobimetallic complexes. Various DFT computational tools (including AIM, ELF and NCI) show that the phosphorus–metal interaction is either electrostatic (Ti) or dative (Au, Cu). A bridged homobimetallic Cu–Cu complex was also prepared and its spectroscopic properties were investigated. The theoretical analysis of the P–P bond in BIPP complexes reveals that (i) BIPP are closely related to ambiphilic triphosphenium (TP) cations; (ii) the P–P bonds are normal covalent (i.e. not dative) in both BIPP and TP. The synthesis, characterization and computational analysis of a range of bis(iminophosphoranyl)phosphide (BIPP) group 4 and coinage metals complexes is reported. White phosphorus was used to install the central phosphorus atom.![]()

Abstract
![]()
To account for the
charge transfer and covalent character in bonding between P and Bi
centers, the electronic structures of [P(C6H4-o-CH2SCH3)3BiCln](3–n)+ (n = 0–3) model species have been investigated
computationally. On the basis of this survey a synthetic target compound
with a dative P→Bi bond has been selected. Consecutively, the
highly reactive bismuth cage [P(C6H4-o-CH2SCH3)3Bi]3+ has been accessed experimentally and characterized. Importantly,
our experiments (single-crystal X-ray diffraction and solid-state
NMR spectroscopy) and computations (NBO and AIM analysis) reveal that
the P···Bi bonding in this trication can be described
as a dative bond. Here we have shown that our accordion-like molecular
framework allows for tuning of the interaction between P and Bi centers. The bonding situation in species with
the general formula of [P(C6H4-o-CH2SCH3)3BiCln](3−n)+ (n = 0−3) has been investigated computationally, and on this
basis a selected example has been accessed synthetically. The structural
and solid-state NMR studies reveal that the weak secondary pnictogen
interaction in P(C6H4-o-CH2SCH3)3BiCl3 can be tuned
into dative bonding by enhancing the charge transfer from the phosphorus
to the bismuth center, which is accompanied by a change in the spin−spin
coupling mechanism between the 31P and 209Bi
nuclei.

Abstract
Tetraorganotin tin(IV) compounds containing a flexible or rigid (4: Ph3Sn-CH2-C6H4-R; 7: Ph3SnC6H4-R, R = 2-oxazolinyl) chelating oxazoline functionality were prepared in good yields by the reaction of lithiated oxazolines and Ph3SnCl. Reaction of 7 with excess HCl resulted in the isolation of the tin monochlorido compound, 9 (ClSn[Ph2]C6H4-R). Conversion of the triphenylstannanes 7 and 4 into their corresponding dibromido species was successfully achieved from the reaction with Br2 to yield 10 (Br2Sn[Ph]C6H4-R) and 11 (Br2Sn[Ph]-CH2-C6H4-R), respectively. X-ray crystallography of 4, 7, 9, 10, and 11 reveal that all structures adopt a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry around Sn in the solid state. Compound 4, with an additional methylene spacer group, displays a comparatively long Sn–N bond distance compared to the dibromido tin species, 11. Several DFT methods were compared for accuracy in predicting the solid-state geometries of compounds 4, 7, 9–11. Compounds 10 and 11 were further converted into the corresponding dihydrides (12: H2Sn[Ph]C6H4-R, 13: H2Sn[Ph]-CH2-C6H4-R), via Br–H exchange, in high yield by reaction with NaBH4. Polymerization of 12 or 13 with a late transition metal catalyst produced a low molecular weight polystannane (14: –[Sn[Ph]C6H4-R]n–, Mw = 10,100 Da) and oligostannane (15: –[Sn[Ph]-CH2-C6H4-R]n–, Mw = 3200 Da), respectively.

Abstract
We reply to the comment by S. Pan and G. Frenking who challenged our interpretation of the Na- :→BH3 dative bond in the recently synthesized NaBH3 - cluster. Our conclusion remains the same as that in our original paper (https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201907089 and https://doi.org/10.1002/ange.201907089). This conclusion is additionally supported by the energetic pathways and NBO charges calculated at UCCSD and CASMP2(4,4) levels of theory. We also discussed the suitability of the Laplacian of electron density (QTAIM) and Adaptive Natural Density Partitioning (AdNDP) method for bond type assignment. It seems that AdNDP yields more sensible results. This discussion reveals that the complex realm of bonding is full of semantic inconsistencies, and we invite experimentalists and theoreticians to elaborate this topic and find solutions incorporating different views on the dative bond.
