    Using a DFT based Ligand Field treatment (LFDFT) of the electronic structure of Co(II) and Cu(II) porphyrins (CoP and CuP) we analyse the origin of their EPR spectra. From a comparison between theoretical result on Co model clusters (CoP and CoP–ZnP dimer) we conclude that the g-tensor values are very sensitive to the axial coordination which stabilizes a ÂČA₁ ground state in good agreement with experimental data. In contrast, DFT overestimates Cu–ligand covalency, leading to large discrepancy with experiments, and hence the orbital contribution to the computed g-values is too small. Using a numerical adjustment of nuclear charge for Cu, a good agreement between the computed and the experimental g-tensor values is observed. The influence of the DFT functional on the calculated g-tensor is also discussed

    Les polyoxomĂ©tallates sont des clusters d oxydes mĂ©talliques ayant de nombreuses applications physiques et chimiques dans les domaines de la catalyse, des matĂ©riaux, du magnĂ©tisme, de la mĂ©decine et de l environnement. Les roues molybdates, dĂ©veloppĂ©es Ă  Versailles par l Ă©quipe de F. SĂ©cheresse sont construites Ă  partir de synthons [Mo2O2S2]2+ dont la dimension, la forme, et la stabilitĂ© relative sont dĂ©terminĂ©es par l inclusion de ligands di ou tri-carboxylates Ă  chaĂźne saturĂ©e (SubĂ©rate C8 ; Pimelate C7, Adipate C6), insaturĂ©e ou aromatique (Oxalate, Terephtalate, Trimesate). Les cycles obtenus prĂ©sentent une nuclĂ©aritĂ© variable qui peut ĂȘtre modulĂ©e par la prĂ©sence de molĂ©cules organiques possĂ©dant deux fonctions carboxylates qui se greffent Ă  l intĂ©rieur de la roue inorganique. L influence de ces molĂ©cules template sur la stabiltĂ© de l ensemble Host-Guest et sur la dĂ©formation des anneaux polyoxothiomolybdates est Ă©tudiĂ©e au niveau DFT/BP86 avec des bases Slater triple- de valence et des potentiels de coeur incluant les effets relativistes scalaires (ZORA). Les calculs reproduisent pour l essentiel la sĂ©quence des stabilitĂ©s observĂ©es et mettent en Ă©vidence le rĂŽle des rĂ©seaux de liaisons hydrogĂšne Ă©tablis entre les groupements carboxylates et les molĂ©cules d eau encapsulĂ©es dans le plan moyen de certains complexes. Les effets de solvant ont Ă©tĂ© pris en compte en utilisant un continuum diĂ©lectrique. Enfin, des simulations de dynamique Car-Parrinello (CPMD) effectuĂ©es sur les complexes [Mo12O12S12(OH)12Sat]2-, oĂč Sat reprĂ©sente un dicarboxylate Ă  chaĂźne saturĂ©e ont permis de modĂ©liser les changements de conformation affectant la chaĂźne carbonĂ©e flexible des dicarboxylates sans dĂ©composition du complexe. Ces simulations dynamiques ont permis de caractĂ©riser des minima locaux distincts des structures observĂ©es pour chacun des ligands flexiblesPolyoxometalates (POMs) are inorganic metal-oxygen anionic clutsers of nanometric size. They represent a wide family of molecules with versatile properties, which have been shown to be potentially attractive for catalysis, medicine, magnetism, or supramolecular chemistry. The dication [Mo2O2S2]2+ was used by the group of F. SĂ©cheresse in order to form polyoxothiomolybdate rings whose size, shape, and relative stability are determined by the inclusion of saturated dicarboxylates (suberate C8 ; pimelate C7, adipate C6). The nuclearity of the ring appears to be monitored by the length of the alkyl chain. The influence of these template ligands on the stability of the whole hostguest complexes and the deformation of the ring have been studied at the DFT/BP86 level with Slater triple- basis sets and pseudopotentials including relativistic effects. Our calculations are in agreement with the experimentally determined relative stabilities. The role of the water molecules connecting the carboxylate ends, and the stabilizing influence of the networks of hydrogen bonds have been emphasized. Solvation effects have been taken into account by means of the COSMO model. By using the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD), we have observed such changes affecting the linear carboxylate assumed to be flexible at an average temperature of 500 K without the encountering any decomposition of the complex. Local energy minima corresponding to configurations of the encapsulated ligands suberate, pimelate and adipate distinct from the observed ones have been characterized from CPMD simulations.STRASBOURG-Sc. et Techniques (674822102) / SudocSudocFranceF
