Abstract
The electronic configuration of transition metal centers and their ligands is crucial for redox reactions in metal catalysis and electrochemistry. We characterize the electronic structure of gas-phase nickel monohalide cations via nickel L2,3-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Comparison with multiplet charge-transfer simulations and experimental spectra of selectively prepared nickel monocations in both ground- and excited-state configurations are used to facilitate our analysis. Only for [NiF]+ with an assigned ground state of 3Π can the bonding be described as predominantly ionic, while the heavier halides with assigned ground states of 3Π or 3Δ exhibit a predominantly covalent contribution. The increase in covalency is accompanied by a transition from a classical ligand field for [NiF]+ to an inverted ligand field for [NiCl]+, [NiBr]+, and [NiI]+, resulting in a leading 3d9 L̲ configuration with a ligand hole (L̲) and a 3d occupation indicative of nickel(I) compounds. Hence, the absence of a ligand hole in [NiF]+ precludes any ligand-based redox reactions. Additionally, we demonstrate that the shift in energy of the L3 resonance is reduced compared to that of isolated atoms upon the formation of covalent compounds.

[PMID: 36447369 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
The cationic complex [Ni(H)(OH)]+ was previously found to activate dioxygen and methane in gas phase under single collision conditions. These remarkable reactivities were thought to originate from a non-classical electronic structure, where the Ni-center adopts a Ni(II), instead of the classically expected Ni(III) oxidation state by formally accepting an electron from the hydroxo ligand, which formally becomes a hydroxyl radical in the process. Such radicaloid oxygen moieties are envisioned to easily react with otherwise inert substrates, mimicking familiar reactivities of free radicals. In this study, the reductive activation of dioxygen by [Ni(H)(OH)]+ to afford the hydroperoxo species was investigated using coupled cluster, multireference ab initio and density functional theory calculations. Orbital and wave function analyses indicate that O2 binding tranforms the aforementioned non-classical electronic structure to a classical Ni(III)-hydroxyl system, before O2 reduction takes place. Remarkably, we found no evidence for a direct involvement of the radicaloid hydroxyl in the reaction with O2 , as is often assumed. The function of the redox non-innocent character of the activator complex is to protect the reactive electronic structure until the complex engages O2 , upon which a dramatic electronic reorganization releases internal energy and drives the chemical reaction to completion.

Abstract
Reactions of PtX+ (X = F, Cl, Br, I) with methane have been investigated at the density functional theory (DFT) level. These reactions take place more easily along the low-spin potential energy surface. For HX (X = F, Cl, Br, I) elimination, the formal oxidation state of the metal ion appears to be conserved, and the importance of this reaction channel decreases in going as the sequence: X = F, Cl, Br, I. A reversed trend is observed in the loss of H2 for X = F, Cl, Br, while it is not favorable for PtI+ in the loss of either HI or H2. For HX eliminations, the transfer form of H is from proton to atom, last to hydride, and the mechanisms are from PCET to HAT, last to HT for the sequence of X = F, Cl, Br, I. One reason is mainly due to the electronegativity of halogens. Otherwise, the mechanisms of HX eliminations also can be explained by the analysis of Frontier Molecular Orbitals. While for the loss of H2, the transfer of H is in the form of hydride for all the X ligands. Noncovalent interactions analysis also can be explained the reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
The potential of [ReClx]+ (x = 1-3) in activating methane has been explored by using a combination of gas-phase experiments and high-level quantum calculations. When the number of Cl ligands increases, the reactivity towards methane activation varies accordingly. While [ReClx]+ (x = 1-2) are able to dehydrogenate methane by a three-state reactivity scenario, [ReCl3]+ shows inertness towards methane at ambient conditions. Furthermore, the product ion [ClRe(H)CH]+ of the [ReCl]+/CH4 couple could continue to activate methane and liberate molecular dihydrogen but another product ion [Cl2ReCH2]+ is unreactive with methane. Obviously, the nature and the number of ligands make a difference to the reactivity towards methane activation. The associated reaction mechanism and the electron origins for the rather different reactivities are discussed in detail. Finally and more importantly, instructive information concerning the rational design of Re-catalysts for methane conversion is obtained.

Abstract
The PPh3 ligands in the heterodinuclear AuPt complex [(Ph3P)AuPt(PPh3)3][BAr4F] (BAr4F = tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate) exhibit a high fluxionality on the AuPt core. Fast intramolecular and slow intermolecular processes for the reversible exchange of the PPh3 ligands have been identified. When [(Ph3P)AuPt(PPh3)3][BAr4F] is heated in solution, the formation of benzene is observed, and a trinuclear, cationic AuPt2 complex is generated. This process is preceded by reversible phenyl-group exchange between the PPh3 ligands present in the reaction mixture as elucidated by deuterium-labeling studies. Both the elimination of benzene and the preceding reversible phenyl-group exchange have originally been observed in mass-spectrometry-based CID experiments (CID = Collision-Induced Dissociation). While CID of mass-selected [Au,Pt,(PPh3)4]+ results exclusively in the loss of PPh3, the resulting cation [Au,Pt,(PPh3)3]+ selectively eliminates C6H6. Thus, the dissociation of a PPh3 ligand from [Au,Pt,(PPh3)3]+ is energetically not able to compete with processes which result in C-H- and C-P-bond cleavage. In both media, the heterobimetallic nature of the employed complexes is the key for the observed reactivity. Only the intimate interplay of the gas-phase investigations, studies in solution, and thorough DFT computations allowed for the elucidation of the mechanistic details of the reactivity of [(Ph3P)AuPt(PPh3)3][BAr4F].

Abstract
Gas-phase C-C coupling reactions mediated by Ni (II) complexes were studied using a linear quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. Ternary nickel cationic carboxylate complexes, [(phen)Ni (OOCR1 )]+ (where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), were formed by electrospray ionization. Upon collision-induced dissociation (CID), they extrude CO2 forming the organometallic cation [(phen)Ni(R1 )]+ , which undergoes gas-phase ion-molecule reactions (IMR) with acetate esters CH3 COOR2 to yield the acetate complex [(phen)Ni (OOCCH3 )]+ and a C-C coupling product R1 -R2 . These Ni(II)/phenanthroline-mediated coupling reactions can be performed with a variety of carbon substituents R1 and R2 (sp3 , sp2 , or aromatic), some of them functionalized. Reaction rates do not seem to be strongly dependent on the nature of the substituents, as sp3 -sp3 or sp2 -sp2 coupling reactions proceed rapidly. Experimental results are supported by density functional theory calculations, which provide insights into the energetics associated with the C-C bond coupling step.

Abstract
The gas-phase reactions of [NiL]+ (L=C6 H5 , C5 H4 N, CN) with methane have been explored by using electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) complemented by quantum chemical calculations. Though the phenyl Ni complex [Ni(C6 H5 )]+ exclusively abstracts one hydrogen atom from methane at ambient conditions, the cyano Ni complex [Ni(CN)]+ brings about both H-atom abstraction and ligand exchange to generate [Ni(CH3 )]+ . In contrast, the complex 2-pyridinyl Ni [Ni(C5 H4 N)]+ is inert towards this substrate. The presence of the empty 4s(Ni) orbital dominates the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes for the investigated systems.

Abstract
The reactivity of closed-shell gas phase cluster anions AuTi3O7- and AuTi3O8- with methane under thermal collision conditions was studied by mass spectrometric experiments and quantum chemical calculations. Methane activation was observed with the formation of AuCH3 in both cases, while the formation of formaldehyde was also identified in the reaction system of AuTi3O8-. The cooperative effect of the separated Au+ and O2- ions on the clusters induces the cleavage of the first C-H bond of methane. Further activation of the second C-H bond by a peroxide ion O22- leads to the formation of formaldehyde. This study shows that closed-shell species on metal oxides can be reactive enough to facilitate thermal H-CH3 bond cleavage and the subsequent conversion.

Abstract
Methane scrabble: To have the right elements is sometimes just not sufficient, as shown by [M(OH)](+) (M=Ti, V), which do not react with methane. However, reshuffling of the "tiles" to [HMO](+) changes the reactions behavior completely, leading to the first example of C-H bond activation of methane by an early first-row transition-metal cation.

Abstract
Four seemingly simple transformations related to the chemistry of methane will be addressed from mechanistic and conceptual points of view: 1) metal-mediated dehydrogenation to form metal carbene complexes, 2) the hydrogen-atom abstraction step in the oxidative dimerization of methane, 3) the mechanisms of the CH(4)→CH(3)OH conversion, and 4) the initial bond scission (C-H vs. O-H) as well as the rate-limiting step in the selective CH(3)OH→CH(2)O oxidation. State-of-the-art gas-phase experiments, in conjunction with electronic-structure calculations, permit identification of the elementary reactions at a molecular level and thus allow us to unravel detailed mechanistic aspects. Where appropriate, these results are compared with findings from related studies in solution or on surfaces.

Abstract
The reaction between the Ni(+) cation and H(2)S is studied by considering both the doublet ground state and the lowest-lying quartet state. For the doublet state the reaction is endothermic, whereas it is exothermic for the quartet state. Both CCSD(T)//B3LYP and B3LYP levels of theory, combined with the triple-zeta quality TZVP++G(3df,2p), predict that there are three spin crossings along the characterized reaction path. The first one is located after the first transition state, and the second and third ones before and after the second transition state. On the quartet potential energy surface, both transition states are close in energy to the reactants, while on the doublet surface both lie quite higher in energy. The doublet and quartet states of the HNiSH(+) four-membered intermediate lie very close in energy and their corresponding electronic configurations are connected by a single electron flip. This suggests that the -SH ligand would not prevent a facile intersystem crossing at this intermediate molecule, in contrast to the larger protection provided by the more electronegative -OH ligand.
