The mutual noncovalent interactions based on metallophilic cluster and anions: A theoretical investigation of the molecular structure and spectroscopic properties of Host–Guest complexes

The d[Formula: see text] metallophilic host clusters [Au(NHC)2][Formula: see text] [M(CN)2][Formula: see text] [Au(NHC)2][Formula: see text](NHC [Formula: see text] N-heterocyclic carbene, [Formula: see text], Ag) with high phosphorescence are synthesized recently and their phosphorescent modulation by solvents is investigated in theory. In this paper, the guest anions (F−, Cl−, Br−, NO[Formula: see text], and BF[Formula: see text] are used to elucidate their effects on metallophilic interactions and phosphorescence of hosts, and also they served as the probes to study the recognition characters of metallophilic hosts. The calculation shows that the guest anions can mutually interact with the host clusters and further, which can modulate the metallophilic Au[Formula: see text]M distances and the phosphorescence spectra of the hosts.

Interplay between Beryllium Bonds and Anion-π Interactions in BeR2:C6X6:Y- Complexes (R = H, F and Cl, X = H and F, and Y = Cl and Br)

A theoretical study of the beryllium bonds in BeR₂:C₆X₆ (R = H, F, Cl and X = H and F) has been carried out by means of MP2/aug′-cc-pVDZ computational methods. In addition, the ternary complexes BeR₂:C₆X₆:Y⁻ (Y = Cl and Br) have been analyzed. Geometric, energetic and electronic aspects of the complexes have been taken into account. All the parameters analyzed provide a clear indication of favorable cooperativity in both interactions observed, beryllium bond and aromatic ring:anion interaction.
