In order to explore possible effects of this rigidity limiting metal\u2013metal interaction in polynuclear derivatives possibly stabilizing coordinatively unsaturated species, the structures and energetics of the hericene iron carbonyl complexes (hericene)Fem(CO)n (m = 1, n = 3; m = 2, n = 6, 5; m = 3, n = 9, 8) have been investigated by density functional theory. The lowest-energy (hericene)Fem(CO)3m (m = 1, 2, 3) structures have the cavities of the hericene ligand filled with a single Fe(CO)3 moiety bonded to a 1,3-diolefin unit. Such species have been synthesized by the reaction of Fe2(CO)9 with hericene. For the (hericene)Fe2(CO)5 system, the lowest energy structures are singlet structures with an Fe(CO)3 unit bonded to a 1,3-diene unit in one hericene cavity and an Fe(CO)2 unit in another hericene cavity bonded to three C=C double bonds from two 1,3-diene units. Higher energy (hericene)Fe2(CO)5 structures include a structure in which a single hericene cavity contains a Fe2(CO)4(\u00b5-CO) moiety with each iron atom bonded to a 1,3-diene unit. In addition, both singlet and triplet (hericene)Fe2(CO)5 structures are found in which an Fe(CO)3 moiety and an Fe(CO)2 moiety located in separate hericene cavities are each bonded to a 1,3-diene unit. The lowest-energy (hericene)Fe3(CO)8 structures have two hericene cavities containing Fe(CO)3 moieties fully bonded to 1,3-diene units and a third hericene cavity containing an Fe(CO)2 moiety fully bonded to a 1,3-diene unit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules29225337","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]],"date-time":"2024-11-13T06:23:16Z","timestamp":1731478996000},"page":"5337","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Iron Carbonyl Complexes of [2.2.2]Hericene as a Rigid Tris(1,3-diene) Ligand"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Jinfeng","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Key Laboratory of High Performance Scientific Computation, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haoyu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Key Laboratory of High Performance Scientific Computation, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huidong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Key Laboratory of High Performance Scientific Computation, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"},{"name":"Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yongxiang","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Key Laboratory of High Performance Scientific Computation, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qunchao","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Key Laboratory of High Performance Scientific Computation, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert Bruce","family":"King","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0252-2083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henry F.","family":"Schaefer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1039","DOI":"10.1038\/1681039b0","article-title":"A new type of organo-iron compound","volume":"168","author":"Kealy","year":"1951","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Miller, S.A., Tebboth, J.A., and Tremaine, J.F.
