Chemical Bonding and σ-Aromaticity in Charged Molecular Alloys: [Pd 2As 14] 4- and [Au 2Sb 14] 4- Clusters. Sci Rep 2017; 7:791.

Abstract
We report a computational study on the structures and bonding of a charged molecular alloy D2h [Pd2As14]4− (1), as well as a model D2h [Au2Sb14]4− (2) cluster. Our effort makes use of an array of quantum chemistry tools: canonical molecular orbital analysis, adaptive natural density partitioning, natural bond orbital analysis, orbital composition analysis, and nucleus independent chemical shift calculations. Both clusters consist of two X7 (X = As, Sb) cages, which are interconnected via a M2 (M = Pd, Au) dumbbell, featuring two distorted square-planar MX4 units. Excluding the Pd/As or Au/Sb lone-pairs, clusters 1 and 2 are 50- and 44-electron systems, respectively, of which 32 electrons are for two-center two-electron (2c-2e) As-As or Sb-Sb σ bonds and an additional 16 electrons in 1 for 2c-2e Pd-As σ bonds. No covalent Pd-Pd or Au-Au bond is present in the systems. Cluster 1 is shown to possess two globally delocalized σ electrons, whereas 2 has two σ sextets (each associated with an AuSb4 fragment). Thus, 1 and 2 conform to the (4n + 2) Hückel rule, for n = 0 and 1, respectively, rendering them σ-aromaticity.

Abstract
Reactions of "LnI(x)(SePh)(3-x)" (Ln = Dy, Ho) with elemental S/Se give (THF)14Ln10S6(Se2)6I6. The compounds are composed of a Ln6S6 double cubane core, with two twisted "Ln2(SeSe)3" units condensed onto opposing rectangular sides of the Ln6S6 fragment. This deposition of Ln2Se6 totally encapsulates the two central Ln's with chalcogen atoms (four S and four Se atoms), excluding neutral THF donors or iodides from the two primary coordination spheres. Reactions of Ln(10) clusters with a stronger Lewis base result in fragmentation and, in the case of Ln = Er, the isolation of (py)6Er2(Se2)(S0.8Se0.2)I2, with two Ln(III) ions spanned by E2- and (EE)2- ligands. The related homochalcogen dimers (py)6Ln2(Se2)(Se)Br2 (Ln = Ho, Yb) were prepared to establish that such molecules could be prepared rationally, and to confirm the isolability of E2- ligands coordinated to only two sterically unconstrained Ln ions.
