Pd and Pt metal atoms as electron donors in σ-hole bonded complexes

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: orbital of M acting as the origin of charge transferred to the acid. Pt forms somewhat stronger bonds than Pd, and the bond strength rises with the size of the A atom of the acid. Within the context of smaller A atoms, the bond strength rises in the order pnicogen < chalcogen < halogen, but this distinction vanishes for the fifth-row A atoms. The nature of the ligand atoms on M has little bearing on the bond strength. Based on the Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity (HOMA) index, the ZB, YB and XB bonds were shown to have only a subtle effect on the ring electronic structures.
