Abstract
Noble gases (Ngs) are recognized as the least reactive elements due to their fully filled valence electronic configuration. Their reluctance to engage in chemical bond formation necessitates extreme conditions such as low temperatures, high pressures, and reagents with high reactivity. In this Perspective, we discuss our endeavours in the theoretical prediction of viable Ng complexes, emphasizing the pursuit of synthesizing them under nearly ambient conditions. Our research encompasses various bonding categories of Ng complexes and our primary aim is to comprehend the bonding mechanisms within these complexes, utilizing state-of-the-art theoretical tools such as natural bond orbital, energy decomposition, and electron density analyses. These complex types manifest distinct bonding scenarios. In the non-insertion type, the donor-acceptor interaction strength hinges on the polarizing ability of the binding atom, drawing the electron density of the Ng towards itself. In certain instances, especially with heavier Ng elements, this interaction reaches a magnitude where it can be considered a covalent bond. Conversely, in most insertion cases, the Ng prefers to share electrons to form a covalent bond on one side while interacting electrostatically on the other side. In rare cases, both bonds may be portrayed as electron-shared covalent bonds. Furthermore, a host cage serves as an excellent platform to explore the limits of achieving Ng-Ng bonds (even for helium), under high pressure.

Pal R, Chattaraj PK. On the Nature of the Partial Covalent Bond between Noble Gas Elements and Noble Metal Atoms. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28073253. [PMID: 37050016 PMCID: PMC10096529 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28073253] [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: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
This article provides a discussion on the nature of bonding between noble gases (Ng) and noble metals (M) from a quantum chemical perspective by investigating compounds such as NgMY (Y=CN, O, NO3, SO4, CO3), [NgM-(bipy)]+, NgMCCH, and MCCNgH complexes, where M=Cu, Ag, Au and Ng=Kr-Rn, with some complexes containing the lighter noble gas atoms as well. Despite having very low chemical reactivity, noble gases have been observed to form weak bonds with noble metals such as copper, gold, and silver. In this study, we explore the factors that contribute to this unusual bonding behavior, including the electronic structure of the atoms involved and the geometric configuration of the concerned fragments. We also investigate the metastable nature of the resulting complexes by studying the energetics of their possible dissociation and internal isomerization channels. The noble gas-binding ability of the bare metal cyanides are higher than most of their bromide counterparts, with CuCN and AgCN showing higher affinity than their chloride analogues as well. In contrast, the oxides seem to have lower binding power than their corresponding halides. In the oxide and the bipyridyl complexes, the Ng-binding ability follows the order Au > Cu > Ag. The dissociation energies calculated, considering the zero-point energy correction for possible dissociation channels, increase as we move down the noble gas group. The bond between the noble gases and the noble metals in the complexes are found to have comparable weightage of orbital and electrostatic interactions, suggestive of a partial covalent nature. The same is validated from the topological analysis of electron density.

Abstract
The noble gas (Ng) binding ability of a monocationic [(FLP)Au]+ species has been investigated by a computational study. Here, the monocationic [(FLP)Au]+ species is formed by coordination of Au(I) cation with the phosphorous (Lewis base) and the boron (Lewis acid) centers of a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP). The bonds involving Au and P, and Au and B atoms in [(FLP)Au]+ are partially covalent in nature as revealed by Wiberg bond index (WBI) values, electron density analysis and energy decomposition analysis (EDA). The zero point energy corrected bond dissociation energy (D0), enthalpy and free energy changes are computed for the dissociation of Au-Ng bonds to assess the Ng binding ability of [(FLP)Au]+ species. The D0 ranges from 6.0 to 13.3 kcal/mol, which increases from Ar to Rn. Moreover, the dissociation of Au-Ng bonds is endothermic as well as endergonic for Ng = Kr-Rn, whereas the same for Ng = Ar is endothermic but exergonic at room temperature. The partial covalent character of the bonds between Au and Ng atoms is demonstrated by their WBI values and electron density analysis. The Ng atoms get slight positive charges of 0.11–0.23 |e|, which indicates some amount of charge transfer takes place from it. EDA demonstrates that electrostatic and orbital interactions have equal contributions to stabilize the Ng-Au bonds in the [(FLP)AuNg]+ complex.

Abstract
Noble gases (Ngs) are the least reactive elements in the periodic table towards chemical bond formation when compared with other elements because of their completely filled valence electronic configuration. Very often, extreme conditions like low temperatures, high pressures and very reactive reagents are required for them to form meaningful chemical bonds with other elements. In this personal account, we summarize our works to date on Ng complexes where we attempted to theoretically predict viable Ng complexes having strong bonding to synthesize them under close to ambient conditions. Our works cover three different types of Ng complexes, viz., non-insertion of NgXY type, insertion of XNgY type and Ng encapsulated cage complexes where X and Y can represent any atom or group of atoms. While the first category of Ng complexes can be thermochemically stable at a certain temperature depending on the strength of the Ng-X bond, the latter two categories are kinetically stable, and therefore, their viability and the corresponding conditions depend on the size of the activation barrier associated with the release of Ng atom(s). Our major focus was devoted to understand the bonding situation in these complexes by employing the available state-of-the-art theoretic tools like natural bond orbital, electron density, and energy decomposition analyses in combination with the natural orbital for chemical valence theory. Intriguingly, these three types of complexes represent three different types of bonding scenarios. In NgXY, the strength of the donor-acceptor Ng→XY interaction depends on the polarizing power of binding the X center to draw the rather rigid electron density of Ng towards itself, and sometimes involvement of such orbitals becomes large enough, particularly for heavier Ng elements, to consider them as covalent bonds. On the other hand, in most of the XNgY cases, Ng forms an electron-shared covalent bond with X while interacting electrostatically with Y representing itself as [XNg]+Y-. Nevertheless, in some of the rare cases like NCNgNSi, both the C-Ng and Ng-N bonds can be represented as electron-shared covalent bonds. On the other hand, a cage host is an excellent moiety to examine the limits that can be pushed to attain bonding between two Ng atoms (even for He) at high pressure. The confinement effect by a small cage-like B12N12 can even induce some covalent interaction within two He atoms in the He2@B12N12 complex.

Abstract
A tetrel bond was characterized in the complexes of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) with TH3X (T = C, Si, Ge; X= -Me, -H, -OH, -NH2, -F, -Cl, -Br, -I, -CN, -NO2). DABCO engages in a weak tetrel bond with CH3X but a stronger one with SiH3X and GeH3X. SiH3X is favorable to bind with DABCO relative to GeH3X, inconsistent with the magnitude of the σ-hole on the tetrel atom. The methyl group in the tetrel donor weakens the tetrel bond but an enhancing effect is found for the other substituents, particularly -NO2. The substitution effect is also related to the nature of the tetrel atom. The halogen substitution from F to I has a weakening effect in the CH3X complex but an enhancing effect in the SiH3X complex and a negligible effect in the GeH3X complex. The above abnormal results found in these complexes can be partly attributed to the charge transfer from the lone pair on the nitrogen atom of DABCO into the anti-bonding orbital σ*(T-X) of TH3X. The stability of both SiH3X and GeH3X complexes is primarily controlled by electrostatic interactions and polarization.

Abstract
This Review presents the current status of the noble gas (Ng)‐noble metal chemistry, which began in 1977 with the detection of AuNe+ through mass spectroscopy and then grew from 2000 onwards; currently, the field is in a somewhat matured state. On one side, modern quantum chemistry is very effective in providing important insights into the structure, stability, and barrier for the decomposition of Ng compounds and, as a result, a plethora of viable Ng compounds have been predicted. On the other hand. experimental achievement also goes beyond microscopic detection and characterization through spectroscopic techniques and crystal structures at ambient temperature; for example, (AuXe4)2+(Sb2F11−)2 have also been obtained. The bonding between two noble elements of the periodic table can even reach the covalent limit. The relativistic effect makes gold a very special candidate to form a strong bond with Ng in comparison to copper and silver. Insertion compounds, which are metastable in nature, depending on their kinetic stability, display an even more fascinating bonding situation. The degree of covalency in Ng–M (M=noble metal) bonds of insertion compounds is far larger than that in non‐insertion compounds. In fact, in MNgCN (M=Cu, Ag, Au) molecules, the M−Ng and Ng−C bonds might be represented as classical 2c–2e σ bonds. Therefore, noble metals, particularly gold, provide the opportunity for experimental chemists to obtain sufficiently stable complexes with Ng at room temperature in order to characterize them by using experimental techniques and, with the intriguing bonding situation, to explore them with various computational tools from a theoretical perspective. This field is relatively young and, in the coming years, a lot of advancement is expected experimentally as well as theoretically.

Abstract
The internal isomerization, MNC ↔ MCN (M = Cu, Ag, Au), is investigated through quantum chemical computations. CuNC and AgNC are shown to be neither thermochemically nor kinetically stable against transformation to MCN. The free energy barrier (ΔG‡) for AuNC is somewhat considerable (7.1 kcal mol-1), indicating its viability, particularly at low temperature. Further, the Ng inserted analogues, MNgCN (M = Cu, Ag, Au; Ng = Xe, Rn) turn out to be thermochemically stable with respect to all possible dissociation channels but for two two-body dissociation channels, viz., MNgCN → Ng + MCN and MNgCN → Ng + MNC, which are connected to the internal isomerization processes, MNgCN → NgMCN and MNgCN → NgMNC, respectively. However, they are kinetically protected by substantial ΔG‡ values (11.8-15.4 kcal mol-1 for Cu, 9.8-13.6 kcal mol-1 for Ag, and 19.7-24.7 kcal mol-1 for Au). The pathways for such internal conversion are explored in detail. A thorough inspection of the bonding situation of the studied molecules, employing natural bond order, electron density, adaptive natural density partitioning, and energy decomposition analyses indicates that the M-Ng bonds in MNgCN and Ng-C bonds in AuNgCN can be represented as an electron-shared covalent bond. For the other Ng-C bonds, although an ionic description is better suited, the degree of covalent character is also substantial therein.

Abstract
A coupled-cluster study is performed on CO bound BeY complexes (Y = O, CO3, SO4, NH, NCN, and NBO) to understand the effect of attached ligands (Y) on the CO binding ability and C-O stretching frequency (νCO). Herein, we report that BeNCN has the highest CO binding ability (via both C- and O-side binding) among the studied neutral Be-based clusters, whereas OCBeSO4 has the highest νCO among the neutral carbonyls. The nature and extent of shift in νCO compared to free CO are explained in terms of change in polarization in the bonding orbitals of CO and relative contribution from OC→BeY or CO→BeY σ-donation, and OC←BeY or CO←BeY π-back-donation. The largest blue-shift in OCBeSO4 and the largest red-shift in COBeNH are consequences of the smallest OC←BeSO4 π-back-donation and the largest CO←BeNH π-back-donation, respectively.
