Abstract
This review summarises the experimental and structural knowledge on polycyclic phosphanes, with a focus on bicyclic and tricyclic phosphanes, as they have not only been the most studied in the last 25 years, but also show the greatest diversity in terms of constitutional isomerism and structural motifs. Moreover, only polycyclic phosphanes that have p-block substituents at all free valences are discussed.

Abstract
The stability of small Aum (m = 4-7) clusters is investigated by analyzing their energetic, geometric, vibrational, magnetic, and electron density properties. Gold clusters can be constructed from stable cyclic 3-center-2-electron (3c-2e) Au3+ units (3-rings) with σ-aromaticity. The stabilization requires a flow of negative charge from internal 3-rings with electron-deficient bonding to peripheral 3-ring units with stronger Au-Au bonds. The valence-isoelectronic clusters Au6 and Au5Zn+ have similar electronic properties: Au5Zn+ is a strongly σ-aromatic molecule. An understanding of the structure of Aum clusters is obtained by deriving a Clar's Rule equivalent for polycyclic gold clusters: The structure with the larger number of rings with dominant 3c-2e character and a smaller degree of 3c-3e character occupies the global minimum of the Aum potential energy surface.

Orbital phase design of diradicals. Top Curr Chem (Cham) 2016. [PMID: 21279576 DOI: 10.1007/128_2008_29] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register]
Abstract
Over the last three decades the rational design of diradicals has been a challenging issue because of their special features and activities in organic reactions and biological processes. The orbital phase theory has been developed for understanding the properties of diradicals and designing new candidates for synthesis. The orbital phase is an important factor in promoting the cyclic orbital interaction. When all of the conditions: (1) the electron-donating orbitals are out of phase; (2) the accepting orbitals are in phase; and (3) the donating and accepting orbitals are in phase, are simultaneously satisfied, the system is stabilized by the effective delocalization and polarization. Otherwise, the system is less stable. According to the orbital phase continuity requirement, we can predict the spin preference of π-conjugated diradicals and relative stabilities of constitutional isomers. Effects of the intramolecular interaction of bonds and unpaired electrons on the spin preference, thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities of the singlet and triplet states of localized 1,3-diradicals were also investigated by orbital phase theory. Taking advantage of the ring strains, several monocyclic and bicyclic systems were designed with appreciable singlet preference and kinetic stabilities. Substitution effects on the ground state spin and relative stabilities of diradicals were rationalized by orbital interactions without loss of generality. Orbital phase predictions were supported by available experimental observations and sophisticated calculation results. In comparison with other topological models, the orbital phase theory has some advantages. Orbital phase theory can provide a general model for both π-conjugated and localized diradicals. The relative stabilities and spin preference of all kinds of diradicals can be uniformly rationalized by the orbital phase property. The orbital phase theory is applied to the conformations of diradicals and the geometry-dependent behaviors. The insights gained from the orbital phase theory are useful in a rational design of stable 1,3-diradicals.

Abstract
A chemical orbital theory is useful in inorganic chemistry. Some applications are described for understanding and designing of inorganic molecules. Among the topics included are: (1) valence electron rules to predict stabilities of three- and four-membered ring metals and for those of regular octahedral M(6) metal clusters solely by counting the number of valence electrons; (2) pentagon stability (stability of five- relative to six-membered rings in some classes of molecules), predicted and applied for understanding and designing saturated molecules of group XV elements; (3) properties of unsaturated hydronitrogens N( m )H( n ) in contrast to those of hydrocarbons C( m )H( n ); (4) unusually short nonbonded distances between metal atoms in cyclic molecules.

Abstract
The relative and thermodynamic stabilities of cis and trans isomers of 1,2-dihalodiazenes (XN=NX; X = F, Cl, or Br) were examined using high level ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For 1,2-dihalodiazenes, it was found that the cis isomers were more stable than the corresponding trans isomers, despite the existence of several cis destabilizing mechanisms, such as steric exchange between halogen lone pairs and dipole-dipole electrostatic repulsions (Delta(trans-cis) = 3.15, 7.04, and 8.19 kcal mol(-1), respectively, at BP86/6-311++G(3df,3pd)//B3LYP /6-311++G(3df,3pd) level). Their origin of the cis-preferred difference in energy was investigated with natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis to show that the "cis effect" came mainly from antiperiplanar interactions (AP effect) between the nitrogen lone pair and the neighboring antibonding orbital of the N-X bond (n(N) --> sigma(N'X'*)). The delocalization of halogen lone-pair into the antibonding orbital of the N=N bonds (the LP effects) was also found to enhance the cis preference by 1.20 to 6.58 kcal mol(-1), depending on the substituted halogen atom. The total amount of the AP effect increased as the halogen atom became larger, and the increased AP effect promoted the triple-bond-like nature of the N=N bond (shorter N=N bond length and wider NNX angle). The greater AP effect also made the N'-X' bond easier to cleave (longer N-X bond length), and a higher energy level than that of the nitrogen lone pair was found in the N-Br bonding orbital in 1,2-dibromodiazenes, thus indicating the significant instability of this molecule. The degradability of the N-Cl bond in 1,2-dichlorodiazenes and the fair stability of the N-F bond in 1,2-fluorodiazenes were also confirmed theoretically, and were found to be consistent with the previous experimental and theoretical reports. These results clearly indicate the dominance of lone-pair-related hyperconjugations on the basic electronic structure and energetic natures of 1,2-dihalodiazene systems.

Abstract
We theoretically investigate a highly strained tricyclic silane (tricyclo[2.1.0.0 1,3]pentasilane (4b), an isomer of pentasila[1.1.1]propellane (3b)) composed of three fused three-membered rings. The central ring is distorted. One of the fusion bonds in the central ring is shorter than the normal Si-Si single bond (2.350 A) whereas the other is as long as the fusion bonds in bicyclo[1.1.0]tetrasilane (2b) (2.860 A) and 3b (2.778 A). The tricyclic silane is less strained than the carbon congener and more strained than the isomer 3b. The electron delocalization between one of the fusion bonds and the geminal Si-Si ring bonds elongates the fusion bond and stabilizes the molecules to reduce the strain. The silanes composed of the fused three-membered rings are less strained than the carbon congener. A degenerate rearrangement of a three-membered ring is predicted. The enthalpy of activation of the rearrangement of the distorted central ring is low (7.2 kcal/mol) for 4b, but appreciable (22.3 kcal/mol) for the germanium congener, tricyclo[2.1.0.0(1,3)]pentagermane (4c). We investigate the effects of the substituents on the distortion of the central three-membered ring and the degenerate rearrangement.
