Abstract:
:Metallophilicity is defined as the interaction among closed-shell metal centers, the origin of which remains controversial, particularly for the roles of spd orbital hybridization (mixing of the spd atomic orbitals of the metal atom in the molecular orbitals of metal complex) and the relativistic effect. Our studies reveal that at close M-M' distances in the X-ray crystal structures of d8 and d10 organometallic complexes, M-M' closed-shell interactions are repulsive in nature due to strong M-M' Pauli repulsion. The relativistic effect facilitates (n + 1)s-nd and (n + 1)p-nd orbital hybridization of the metal atom, where (n + 1)s-nd hybridization induces strong M-M' Pauli repulsion and repulsive M-M' orbital interaction, and (n + 1)p-nd hybridization suppresses M-M' Pauli repulsion. This model is validated by both DFT (density functional theory) and high-level coupled-cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples computations and is used to account for the fact that the intermolecular or intramolecular Ag-Ag' distance is shorter than the Au-Au' distance, where a weaker Ag-Ag' Pauli repulsion plays an important role. The experimental studies verify the importance of ligands in intermolecular interactions. Although the M-M' interaction is repulsive in nature, the linear coordination geometry of the d10 metal complex suppresses the L-L' (ligand-ligand) Pauli repulsion while retaining the strength of the attractive L-L' dispersion, leading to a close unsupported M-M' distance that is shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radius (rvdw) of the metal atoms.
