AB  - To improve the description of interactions among the localized d, f electrons in transition metals, we have introduced a ligand-field motivated contribution into the Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB) model. Referred to as DFTB3+U, the approach treats the d, f electron repulsions with rotationally invariant orbital–orbital interactions and a Hartree–Fock model; this represents a major conceptual improvement over the original DFTB3 approach, which treats the d, f-shell interactions in a highly averaged fashion without orbital level of description. The DFTB3+U approach is tested using a series of nickel compounds that feature Ni(II) and Ni(III) oxidation states. By using parameters developed with the original DFTB3 Hamiltonian and empirical +U parameters (F0/2/4 Slater integrals), we observe that the DFTB3+U model indeed provides substantial improvements over the original DFTB3 model for a number of properties of the nickel compounds, including the population and spin polarization of the d-shell, nature of the frontier orbitals, ligand field splitting and the energy different between low and high spin states at OPBE optimized structures. This proof-of-concept study suggests that with self-consistent parameterization of the electronic and +U parameters, the DFTB3+U model can develop into a promising model that can be used to efficiently study reactive events involving transition metals ion condensed phase systems. The methodology can be integrated with other approximate QM methods as well, such as the extended tight binding (xTB) approach.

AB  - Magnetic, structural and computational data of four complex salts with the same mononuclear high spin octahedral Mn(III) complex cation are reported. The manifestation of Jahn-Teller-like distortions in the Mn(III) cation is dependent on the nature of the charge-balancing anion, with small anions yielding a planar elongation and large anions freezing out a preferential axial elongation along one of the amine-Mn-imine directions within that same plane. Modulation of the lattice by changing the charge balancing anion results in mixing of the orbital symmetry due to vibrational perturbation.

AB  - The aim of this work was to determine and understand the origin of the electronic properties of Mn-IV complexes, especially the zero-field splitting (ZFS), through a combined experimental and theoretical investigation on five well-characterized mononuclear octahedral Mn-IV compounds, with various coordination spheres (N-6, N3O3, N2O4 in both trans (trans-N2O4) and cis configurations (cis-N2O4) and O4S2). High-frequency and -field EPR (HFEPR) spectroscopy has been applied to determine the ZFS parameters of two of MnLtrans-N2O4 and Mn(LO4S)2 these compounds,. While at X-band EPR, the axial-component of the ZFS tensor, D, was estimated to be +0.47 cm(-1) for MnLO4S2, and a D-value of +2.289(5) cm(-1) was determined by HFEPR, which is the largest D-magnitude ever measured for a Mn-IV complex. A moderate D value of -0.997(6) cm(-1) has been found for MnLtrans-N2O4. Quantum chemical calculations based on two theoretical frameworks (the Density Functional Theory based on a coupled perturbed approach (CP-DFT) and the hybrid Ligand-Field DFT (LF-DFT)) have been performed to define appropriate methodologies to calculate the ZFS tensor for Mn-IV centers, to predict the orientation of the magnetic axes with respect to the molecular ones, and to define and quantify the physical origin of the different contributions to the ZFS. Except in the case of MnLtrans-N2O4, the experimental and calculated D values are in good agreement, and the sign of D is well predicted, LF-DFT being more satisfactory than CP-DFT. The calculations performed on MnLcis-N2O4 are consistent with the orientation of the principal anisotropic axis determined by single-crystal EPR, validating the calculated ZFS tensor orientation. The different contributions to D were analyzed demonstrating that the d-d transitions mainly govern D in Mn-IV ion. However, a deep analysis evidences that many factors enter into the game, explaining why no obvious magnetostructural correlations can be drawn in this series of Mn-IV complexes.

AB  - In this work we have analyzed in detail the magnetic anisotropy in a series of hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate (Tp(-)) metal complexes, namely [VTpCl](+), [CrTpCl](+), [MnTpCl](+), [FeTpCl], [CoTpCl], and [NiTpCl], and their substituted methyl and tert-butyl analogues with the goal of observing the effect of the ligand field on the magnetic properties. In the [VTpCl](+), [CrTpCl](+), [CoTpCl], and [NiTpCl] complexes, the magnetic anisotropy arises as a consequence of out-of-state spin-orbit coupling, and covalent changes induced by the substitution of hydrogen atoms on the pyrazolyl rings does not lead to drastic changes in the magnetic anisotropy. On the other hand, much larger magnetic anisotropies were predicted in complexes displaying a degenerate ground state, namely [MnTpCl](+) and [FeTpCl], due to in-state spin-orbit coupling. The anisotropy in these systems was shown to be very sensitive to perturbations, for example, chemical substitution and distortions due to the Jahn-Teller effect. We found that by substituting the hydrogen atoms in [MnTpCl](+) and [FeTpCl] by methyl and tert-butyl groups, certain covalent contributions to the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) could be controlled, thereby achieving higher values.

AB  - Magnetic molecules that present a slow decay of their magnetization (molecular magnets) are very interesting both from a fundamental and applied points of view. While many approaches focus strongly on finding systems with strong magnetic anisotropy giving rise to large spin-reversal barriers, less is known on the behavior of magnetic tunnelling, which is also a fundamental component of molecular magnet behavior. In this work, we propose a model to describe both the spin-reversal barrier and magnetic tunnelling in Ni(II) trigonal bipyramidal complexes, which could be easily extended to other transitionmetal systems. Based on this model, we show the criteria that lead to the optimal complexes to find molecular magnet behavior. We test our proposal with multi-reference configuration-interaction (MRCI) and ligand-field-density-functional-theory (LF-DFT) first-principles calculations applied over several families of mononuclear Ni(II) complexes. As a salient result, we find that the complex [NiCl3(Hdabco)(2)](+) (dabco is 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]-octane) displays both a very large magnetic anisotropy energy, 524 cm(-1), and a small tunnelling splitting, 0.2 cm(-1), when compared to other systems containing the same metal. We expect molecular magnet behaviour to be observed when small magnetic fields are employed to disrupt tunnelling. These values are reached due to the choice of ligands that favor a complete destruction of the Jahn-Teller distortions through spin-orbit coupling and an unquenched orbital momentum.

AB  - Vibronic coupling theory shows that the cause for spontaneous instability in systems presenting a nondegenerate ground state is the so-called pseudo-Jahn-Teller effect, and thus its study can be extremely helpful to understand the structure of many molecules. While this theory, based on the mixing of the ground and excited states with a distortion, has been long studied, there are two obscure points that we try to clarify in the present work. First, the operators involved in both the vibronic and nonvibronic parts of the force constant take only into account electron nuclear and nuclear nuclear interactions, apparently leaving electron electron repulsions and the electron's kinetic energy out of the chemical picture. Second, a fully quantitative computational appraisal of this effect has been up to now problematic. Here, we present a reformulation of the pseudo-Jahn-Teller theory that explicitly shows the contributions of all operators in the molecular Hamiltonian and allows connecting the results obtained with this model to other chemical theories relating electron distribution and geometry. Moreover, we develop a practical approach based on Hartree-Fock and density functional theory that allows quantification of the pseudo-Jahn-Teller effect. We demonstrate the usefulness of our method studying the pyramidal distortion in ammonia and its absence in borane, revealing the strong importance of the kinetic energy of the electrons in the lowest a(2)'' orbital to trigger this instability. The present tool opens a window for exploring in detail the actual microscopic origin of structural instabilities in molecules and solids.

AB  - A general model for the analysis of the Adiabatic Potential Energy Surfaces (APES) of the molecules that are subject to the multimode Jahn-Teller effect is presented. The method utilizes the information obtained by DFT calculations on a distorted stationary point on the APES. The essence of the model is to express the distortion along a model minimal energy path called Intrinsic Distortion Path (IDP), projecting the geometry of the system on the normal modes of the either high-symmetry (HS) or low symmetry (LS) nuclear configuration. This allows us to determine the significance of all of the involved normal modes along a relevant particular path of distortion, and the direct calculation of the vibronic coupling constants. The IDP analysis is illustrated by the discussion of the multimode H circle times (g + 2h) JT effect in fullerene cations (C-60(+)) giving a deep insight into the origin and the mechanism of vibronic coupling in fullerene based molecules.

AB  - The family of the Jahn-Teller (JT) active hydrocarbon rings, CH (n = 5-7), was analyzed by the means of multideterminantal density functional theory (DFT) approach. The multimode problem was addressed using the intrinsic distortion path (IDP) method, in which the JT distortion is expressed as a linear combination of all totally symmetric normal modes in the low symmetry minimum energy conformation. Partitioning of the stabilization energy into the various physically meaningful terms arising from Kohn Sham DFT has been performed to get further chemical insight into the coupling of the nuclear movements and the electron distribution.
