A theoretical way of aiding the design of solid‐state syntheses
Source abstract
Abstract
While aids to synthesis design are available to the organic chemist, for example the Woodward‐Hoffmann rules, the situation for the chemist involved in solid‐state synthesis is somewhat different. Here, the researcher is forced into planning synthetic steps in a much more rudimentary way. In this, somewhat extended article, a new concept for the design of solid‐state syntheses, based on improved descriptions for acidity, basicity, electrophilicity, and nucleophilicity in the solid, is presented.

50. For generality any technical difficulties due to different degrees of basis set orthogonality (overlap populations) are circumvented by directly breaking down the solid state ensemble's hardness into atomic (or bonding) contributions using an energy partitioning scheme [13]. Thus one of the Fukui function's limitations is lost namely it being an intrinsically relative measure of reactivity: only differences in electron occupations at the frontier orbitals are measured without indicating their bonding or antibonding character.
51. Technically speaking a bond increment of electrophilicity [Eq. (12)] for example is set up as a product of Hamiltonian matrix elements huvand the real part of the difference in all ‘off‐site’ electron charge densities H[Puv(ε)] while moving between two slightly different electron populations. Therefore while a single bonding contribution (s‐p p‐p p‐d etc.) may contain some basic character the total electronic interaction between two atoms (their ‘connectivity’) may be said to be acidic as well as basic.

55. Concerning accuracy and limitations the calculation of charged entities without structural relaxation is based on a rigid band approximation leading to a small error in the total energy calculation. Second the calculation of simplified increments for reactivity acidity and basicity will have consequences similar to those of using Koopmans' theorem namely too positive ionization potentials and too negative electron affinities. Fortunately a high error cancellation rate may be expected because of the energy difference involved in calculating the total hardness. Third the accuracy of the energy parameters within the EH tight‐binding approach remains a problem possibly improvable by charge iterations.

61. Taking the essence of classic acid‐base reactions in solutions into account it is logical that the most acidic and most basic atoms try to bond together. So what is found for Ti(3) and its nearest ‘shell’ of 0 atoms is in nice accordance with chemical knowledge.

76. This excluding statement holds only for the case of a bond of no more than average reactivity. In principle [Eq. (15)] there could be a bond both acidic (negative ζ) and basic (negative ζ). However such strong amphoteric character would correspond to an extraordinarily high reactivity (large negative ζRR′)which doesn't seem to be very likely for stable structures.
