Abstract
This paper presents the quantum-topological binding approach, in which the electrostatic and total static force density fields, Fes(r) and F ( r ) , together with the electron density gradient field ∇ρ(r), are simultaneously analyzed to elucidate the chemical structure of transition states and the nature of interatomic interactions for semibroken semiformed partial chemical bonds. The approach attributes the discrepancies between the force fields F ( r ) and Fes(r) to the nonclassical electron-electron interaction effects. The internuclear gap between the zero-flux boundaries of Fes(r) and ∇ρ(r) indicates the interatomic charge transfer phenomenon (ICT) that occurs upon the formation of a system from free atoms. Concomitantly, the mismatch of the zero-flux surfaces defined in - F ( r ) and ∇ρ(r) can be interpreted as a phenomenon of the electron-transfer-induced quantum chemical response (QCR), which originates from the electron exchange correlation. Our study permits the assertion of parallels between partial bonds and noncovalent interactions, as both typically exhibit incomplete QCRs, indicating the partial electron sharing of the transferred density. The changes in atomic and pseudoatomic charges are employed to describe the evolution of the chemical structure upon the substitution reaction. It is observed that the acquired difference in the actual atomic electronegativity causes polarization upon the heterolytic breaking of virtually nonpolar bonds. It is further proposed that the proximity of closely related stationary states along the reaction path on a potential energy hypersurface implies their similarity in the manifestation of the ICT and sympathetic QCR. Furthermore, the involvement of an electron pair in a partial bond facilitates its delocalization through the attraction by the static forces F ( r ) and Fes(r) to a neighboring nucleus and through the smearing by the Pauli kinetic force FP(r).

Kartashov SV, Saifina AF, Fayzullin RR. Toward the Chemical Structure of Diborane: Electronic Force Density Fields, Effective Electronegativity, and Internuclear Turning Surface Properties. J Phys Chem A 2024; 128:7284-7297.

Abstract
The chemical structure of diborane was elucidated through the superposition of the vector fields of the electron density gradient ∇ρ(r), the electrostatic force Fes(r), and the kinetic force Fk(r), together with the analysis of the cumulative charges of the atoms and pseudoatoms delimited in the aforementioned fields. It was proposed that the Fk-pseudoatomic charge could be employed as a metric for quantifying the ionic component of a related atomic charge. The electron permeability across an internuclear turning surface─specifically, the zero-flux surface in Fk(r)─was characterized by probing it through mapping the total static potential φem(r). The conceptualization of post hoc electronegativity was presented for consideration. Our analysis revealed that the ordinary B-H and bent B-μ-H bonds in diborane demonstrate the polar covalent character with minor contributions of the ionic component. The former bond exhibits a greater electron permeability through the internuclear turning surface, indicating a stronger tendency for electron sharing between the corresponding nucleus-dominated regions. The electron density accumulation along the bent B-μ-H bond path diverges from the minimum action trajectories of the forces Fes(r) and Fk(r). This phenomenon can be associated with the structural strain within the angled, three-center two-electron bonding B-μ-H-B. The internuclear B···B paths were identified in Fes(r) and Fk(r), in contrast to ∇ρ(r). This fact, in conjunction with a pronounced electron permeability through the mutual turning surface between the two boron nuclei, implies a certain degree of electron exchange between the boron-dominated pseudoatomic regions. Furthermore, the anomalous [B-]H···μ-H intermolecular polar interactions were described between the strongly negatively charged hydrogen atoms in the monoclinic crystalline β-phase of diborane. In fact, the ionic contributions to the charges of the hydrogen atoms are shown to be relatively small.

Abstract
Processing CO2 into value-added chemicals and fuels stands as one of the most crucial tasks in addressing the global challenge of the greenhouse effect. In this study, we focused on the complex (dpp-bian)NiBr2 (where dpp-bian is di-isopropylphenyl bis-iminoacenaphthene) as a precatalyst for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 into CH4 as the sole product. Cyclic voltammetry results indicate that the realization of a catalytically effective pattern requires the three-electron reduction of (dpp-bian)NiBr2. The chemically reduced complexes [K(THF)6]+[(dpp-bian)Ni(COD)]- and [K(THF)6]+[(dpp-bian)2Ni]- were synthesized and structurally characterized. Analyzing the data from the electron paramagnetic resonance study of the complexes in solutions, along with quantum-chemical calculations, reveals that the spin density is predominantly localized at their metal centers. The superposition of trajectory maps of the electron density gradient vector field∇ ρ r ${\nabla \rho \left({\bf r}\right)}$ and the electrostatic force density fieldF e s r ${{{\bf F}}_{{\rm e}{\rm s}}\left({\bf r}\right)}$ per electron, as well as the atomic charges, discloses that, within the first coordination sphere, the interatomic charge transfer occurs from the metal atom to the ligand atoms and that the complex anions can thus be formally described by the general formulae (dpp-bian)2-Ni+(COD) and (dpp-bian)2 -Ni+. It was also shown that the reduced nickel complexes can be oxidized by formic acid; resulting from this reaction, the two-electron and two-proton addition product dpp-bian-2H is formed.

Abstract
Despite the previous preparation of aconine hydrochloride monohydrate (AHM), accurate determination of the crystal's composition was hindered by severely disordered water molecules within the crystal. In this study, we successfully prepared a new dihydrate form of the aconine hydrochloride [C25H42NO9+Cl-·2(H2O), aconine hydrochloride dihydrate (AHD)] and accurately refined all water molecules within the AHD crystal. Our objective is to elucidate both water-chloride and water-water interactions in the AHD crystal. The crystal structure of AHD was determined at 136 K using X-ray diffraction and a multipolar atom model was constructed by transferring charge-density parameters to explore the topological features of key short contacts. By comparing the crystal structures of dihydrate and monohydrate forms, we have observed that both AHD and AHM exhibit identical aconine cations, except for variations in the number of water molecules present. In the AHD crystal, chloride anions and water molecules serve as pivotal connecting hubs to establish three-dimensional hydrogen bonding networks and one-dimensional hydrogen bonding chain; both water-chloride and water-water interactions assemble supramolecular architectures. The crystal packing of AHD exhibits a complete reversal in the stacking order compared to AHM, thereby emphasizing distinct disparities between them. Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that H···Cl- and H···O contacts play a significant role in constructing the hydrogen bonding network and chain within these supramolecular architectures. Furthermore, topological analysis and electrostatic interaction energy confirm that both water-chloride and water-water interactions stabilize supramolecular architectures through electrostatic attraction facilitated by H···Cl- and H···O contacts. Importantly, these findings are strongly supported by the existing literature evidence. Consequently, navigating these water-chloride and water-water interactions is imperative for ensuring storage and safe processing of this pharmaceutical compound.

Facile Access to Cationic Methylstannylenes and Silylenes Stabilized by E-Pt Bonding and their Methyl Group Transfer Reactivity. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202303789.

Abstract
We describe a family of cationic methylstannylene and chloro- and azidosilylene organoplatinum(II) complexes supported by a neutral, binucleating ligand. Methylstannylenes MeSn:+ are stabilized by coordination to PtII and are formed by facile Me group transfer from dimethyl or monomethyl PtII complexes, in the latter case triggered by concomitant B-H, Si-H, and H2 bond activation that involves hydride transfer from Sn to Pt. A cationic chlorosilylene complex was obtained by formal HCl elimination and Cl- removal from HSiCl3 under ambient conditions. The computational studies show that stabilization of cationic methylstannylenes and cationic silylenes is achieved through weak coordination to a neutral N-donor ligand binding pocket. The analysis of the electronic potentials, as well as the Laplacian of electron density, also reveals the differences in the character of Pt-Si vs. Pt-Sn bonding. We demonstrate the importance of a ligand-supported binuclear Pt/tetrel core and weak coordination to facilitate access to tetrylium-ylidene Pt complexes, and a transmetalation approach to the synthesis of MeSnII :+ derivatives.
