Heteronuclear calcium-iron carbonyl cation complexes in the form of [CaFe(CO) ] (n=5-12) are produced in the gas phase. Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations confirm that the n=10 complex is the coordination saturated ion where a Fe(CO) fragment is bonded with a Ca(CO) fragment through two side-on bridging carbonyl ligands. Bonding analysis indicates that it is best described by the bonding interactions between a [Ca(CO) ] dication and an [Fe(CO) ] anion forming a Fe→Ca d-d dative bond in the [(CO) Ca-Fe(CO) ] structure, which enriches the pool of experimentally observed complexes of calcium that mimic transition metal compounds. The molecule is the first example of a heteronuclear carbonyl complex featuring a d-d bond between calcium and a transition metal.
气相中生成了[CaFe(CO)ₙ](n = 5 - 12)形式的异核钙 - 铁羰基阳离子配合物。红外光解离光谱结合量子化学计算证实,n = 10的配合物是配位饱和离子,其中一个Fe(CO)片段通过两个侧基桥连羰基配体与一个Ca(CO)片段相连。键合分析表明,在[(CO)₅Ca - Fe(CO)₅]结构中,它最好用[Ca(CO)₅]²⁺阳离子和[Fe(CO)₅]⁻阴离子之间形成Fe→Ca d - d给体键的键合相互作用来描述,这丰富了模拟过渡金属化合物的钙的实验观察配合物库。该分子是第一个在钙和过渡金属之间具有d - d键的异核羰基配合物的例子。
