Abstract

Using density functional calculations, we have systematically investigated a series of homoleptic poly(azolyl)borate ligands, which display unusual steadily declining bond strengths accompanied by bond contractions when the azolyl groups are sequentially substituted to the parent BH4−. As ligands, their effects on the coordinated metal ions (Cu(I) and Mo(0)) are quantitatively represented by two ligand tunability descriptors: the vibration frequency (νCO) of the CO groups complexed to the metal ions and the charge of the metal–(CO)x moiety, between which a good linear correlation exists. For the same number of azolyl substitutions, the boundary of ligand tunability is always marked by the pyrazolyl and tetrazolyl groups at the two ends, which feature the lowest and the highest nitrogen content in the azolyl ring, respectively. With the increase of the azolyl substitution number in the borate ligands, the νCO range expands, indicating a higher tunability of the ligands. The type of metal ion and the charge they carry play minor roles in influencing the ligand tunability.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
