Abstract
A discrete tetrachloride tetrahydrate cluster, [Cl4(H2O)4]4−, was obtained with a partially-fluorinated triaminocyclopropenium cation, [C3(N(CH2CF3)2)(NEt2)(NPr2)]+. The cluster consists of a [Cl2(H2O)2]2− square with each Cl− coordinated by another H2O bridged to another Cl−. A 1D polymer of chloride monohydrate, {[Cl(H2O)]−}∞, was obtained with [C3(N(CH2CF3)2)2(NBuMe)]+. The tetrameric and polymeric structures were found to be computationally-unstable in the gas phase which indicates that an encapsulated environment is essential for their isolation. DFT and DFTB calculations were carried out on gas-phase [Cl4(H2O)4]4− to assist the infrared assignments. Anharmonically-corrected B3LYP transition frequencies were in close agreement with experiment, but DFTB models were only appropriate for qualitative interpretation. Solid-state DFTB calculations allowed the vibrational modes to be assigned. The results found are consistent with “discrete” chloride hydrates.

A Discrete Dichloride Tetrahydrate Trapped by a Cyclopropenium Cation: its Structure and Spectroscopic Properties
Ferreras M; Abdelbassit, Mohammed; Curnow, Owen; Crittenden, Deborah (Wiley, 2020)A discrete dichloride tetrahydrate cluster, [Cl2(H2O)4]2−, was obtained as a salt of the bis(diphenylamino)diethylamino cyclopropenium cation [C3(NPh2)2(NEt2)]+ and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ... -
Characterisation of a Series of Discrete Dichloride Dihydrates and the Effect of Symmetry
Brenner T; Weiss R; Ferreras M; Senthooran, Rathiga; Curnow, Owen; Crittenden, Deborah (Wiley, 2020)A series of three discrete dichloride dihydrates [Cl2(H2O)2]2− have been isolated with different triaminocyclopropenium (TAC) cations and with different crystallographic symmetries. The cluster exhibits D2h symmetry with ... -
Are "bright-state" models appropriate for analyzing fermi-coupled bands in molecular vibrational spectra?
Curnow, Owen; Crittenden, Deborah (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2021)Bright-state models are often applied to "deperturb"Fermi-coupled bands in molecular vibrational spectra, in cases where a harmonically forbidden transition "borrows"intensity from an energetically nearby allowed transition. ...
