Organo-Zintl-based superatoms: [Ge₉(CHO)₃] and [Ge₉(CHO)]

Journal Article Reddy, G. Naaresh ; Jena, Puru ; Giri, Santanab - Chemical Physics Letters

A systematic study, based on density functional theory and different hybrid functionals for exchange-correlation potential, shows that the electron affinities of organo-zintl clusters [Ge₉(R)_n] [R = CHO;n = 1, 3] are close to that of chlorine (3.6 eV) and iodine (3.0 eV). A detailed study of the molecular orbitals of these complexes, when compared to those of Al₁₃^-,Cl^- and I^-, confirm that they behave as super atoms, mimicking the chemistry of halogens. This study expands the scope of superatoms by including a new class of pseudo-halogens based on ligated organo-Zintl ions.

Unique reactivity of B in B[Ge ₉ Y ₃ ] ₃ (Y = H, CH ₃ , BO, CN): formation of a Lewis base

Journal Article Reddy, G. Naaresh ; Parida, Rakesh ; Inostroza-Rivera, R. ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP

Boron compounds usually exhibit Lewis acidity at the boron center due to the presence of vacant p-orbitals. But using Zintl-ion based groups (Ge ₉ Y ₃ , Y = H, CH ₃ , BO, CN), we can alter Lewis acid nature of B to a Lewis base.

Competition between proton transfer and elimination in the reactions of strong bases with fluoroethanes in the gas phase. Influence of base strength on reactivity.

Journal Article Sullivan, S A ; Beauchamp, J L - J. Am. Chem. Soc.; (United States)

Fluoroethanes react with strong bases in the gas phase by proton transfer, elimination of HF, and production of F/sup -/. Ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy has been used to examine the relative importance of these processes for a series of bases of varying strength, including NH/sub 2//sup -/, OH/sup -/, CH/sub 3/O/sup -/, CH/sub 3/CH/sub 2/O/sup -/, (CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/CHO/sup -/, (CH/sub 3/)/sub 3/CO/sup -/, F/sup -/, and CN/sup -/. Reactant base strength is the principal factor determining product distributions. With decreasing base strength, the amount of proton transfer decreases relative to elimination. Observed proton transfer reactions establish limits for themore »« less

Superhalogen-based lithium superionic conductors

Journal Article Fang, Hong ; Wang, Shuo ; Liu, Junyi ; ... - Journal of Materials Chemistry. A

The development of cheap, durable, and safe inorganic solid electrolytes with superionic conductivity is the key for the next generation of all-solid metal-ion batteries. The recent discovery of antiperovskites with composition Li₃OA (A = halogen) shows promise in this regard. Here, we demonstrate the potential of a new class of antiperovskites where halogens are replaced by BH₄ superhalogens. In addition to maintaining the high ionic conductivity of Li₃OA, Li₃O(BH₄) is lightweight, mechanically flexible, thermodynamically more stable, and electronically more insulating than Li₃OA. By mixing BH₄ with Cl to make Li₃O(BH₄)_0.5Cl_0.5, we further show that the conductivity will be doubled. Themore »« less
