Abstract
A noble gas compound containing a triple bond between xenon and transition metal Os (i.e.F4XeOsF4, isomerA) was predicted using quantum-chemical calculations. At the MP2 level of theory, the predicted Xe-Os bond length (2.407 Å) is between the standard double (2.51 Å) and triple (2.31 Å) bond lengths. Natural bond orbital analysis indicates that the Xe-Os triple bond consists of one σ-bond and two π-bonds, a conclusion also supported by atoms in molecules (AIM) quantum theory, the electron density distribution (EDD) and electron localization function (ELF) analysis. The two-body (XeF4and OsF4) dissociation energy barrier of F4XeOsF4is 15.6 kcal mol−1. The other three isomers of F4XeOsF4were also investigated; isomerBcontains a Xe-Os single bond and isomersCandDcontain Xe-Os double bonds. The configurations of isomersA,B,CandDcan be transformed into each other.
