Hypervalent compounds It was quite a surprize to most chemists in 1962 when Neil bartlett reported the formation of a compound involving Xe-F bonds. But this was quickly folllowed by the synthesis of XeF4 (from Xe and F2 at high temperature and XeF2 in 1962 and later XeF6.Indeed Pauling had predicted in 1933 that XeF6 would be stable, but noone tried to make it. Later compounds such as ClF3 and ClF5 were synthesized These compounds violate simple octet rules and are call hypervalent EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
Noble gas dimers Recall from L17 that there is no chemical bonding in He2, Ne2 etc This is explained in VB theory as due to repulsive Pauli repulsion from the overlap of doubly occupied orbitals It is explained in MO theory as due to filled bonding and antibonding orbitals (sg)2(su)2 EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
Noble gas dimer positive ions - On the other hand the positive ions are strongly bound (L17) This is explained in MO theory as due to one less antibonding electron than bonding, leading to a three electron bond for He2+ of 2.5 eV, the same strength as the one electron bond of H2+ (sg)2(su)1 The VB explanation is a little less straightforward. Here we consider that there are two equivalent VB structures neither of which leads to much bonding, but superimposing them leads to resonance stabilization Using (sg) = L+R and (su)=L-R Leads to (with negative sign EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
Examine the bonding of XeF Consider the energy to form the charge transfer complex Xe Xe+ The energy to form Xe+ F- can be estimated from Using IP(Xe)=12.13eV, EA(F)=3.40eV, and R(IF)=1.98 A, we get E(Xe+ F-)=1.45eV Thus there is no covalent bond for XeF, which has a weak bond of ~ 0.1 eV and a long bond EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
Examine the bonding in XeF2 Xe+ We saw that the energy to form Xe+F-, now consider, the impact of putting a 2nd F on the back side of the Xe+ Since Xe+ has a singly occupied pz orbital pointing directly at this 2nd F, we can now form a bond to it? How strong would the bond be? Probably the same as for IF, which is 2.88 eV. Thus we expect F--Xe+F- to have a bond strength of ~2.88 – 1.45 = 1.43 eV! Of course for FXeF we can also form an equivalent bond for F-Xe+--F. Thus we get a resonance We will denote this 3 center – 4 electron charge transfer bond as FXeF EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
Stability of XeF2 Ignoring resonance we predict that XeF2 is stable by 1.43 eV. In fact the experimental bond energy is 2.69 eV suggesting that the resonance energy is ~ 1.3 eV. The XeF2 molecule is stable by 2.7 eV with respect to Xe + F2 But to assess where someone could make and store XeF2, say in a bottle, we have to consider other modes of decomposition. The most likely might be that light or surfaces might generate F atoms, which could then decompose XeF2 by the chain reaction XeF2 + F {XeF + F2} Xe + F2 + F Since the bond energy of F2 is 1.6 eV, this reaction is endothermic by 2.7-1.6 = 1.1 eV, suggesting the XeF2 is relatively stable. Indeed it is used with F2 to synthesize XeF4 and XeF6. EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
XeF4 Putting 2 additional F to overlap the Xe py pair leads to the square planar structure, which allows 3 center – 4 electron charge transfer bonds in both the x and y directions, leading to a square planar structure The VB analysis would indicate that the stability for XeF4 relative to XeF2 should be ~ 2.7 eV, but maybe a bit weaker due to the increased IP of the Xe due to the first hypervalent bond and because of some possible F---F steric interactions. There is a report that the bond energy is 6 eV, which seems too high, compared to our estimate of 5.4 eV. EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
XeF6 Since XeF4 still has a pz pair, we can form a third hypervalent bond in this direction to obtain an octahedral XeF6 molecule. Here we expect a stability a little less than 8.1 eV. Pauling in 1933 suggested that XeF6 would be stabile, 30 years in advance of the experiments. He also suggested that XeF8 is stable. However this prediction is wrong EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
Estimated stability of other Nobel gas fluorides (eV) 1.3 1.3 1.3 1.3 1.3 1.3 -5.3 -0.1 1.0 2.7 3.9 -2.9 Using the same method as for XeF2, we can estimate the binding energies for the other Noble metals. Here we see that KrF2 is predicted to be stable by 0.7 eV, which makes it susceptible to decomposition by F radicals RnF2 is quite stable, by 3.6 eV, but I do not know if it has been observed EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
Halogen Fluorides, ClFn The IP of ClF is 12.66 eV which compares well to the IP of 12.13 for Xe. This suggests that the px and py pairs of Cl could be used to form hypervalent bonds leading to ClF3 and ClF5. Indeed these estimates suggest that ClF3 and ClF5 are stable. Indeed the experiment energy for ClF3 ClF +F2 is 2.6 eV, quite similar to XeF2. EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
PF5 Think of this as planar PF3+, which has a pz pair making a hypervalent bond to one F (+ z direction) with F- in the –z direction + the resonance with the other state Adding F-, leafs to PF6-, analogous to SF6, which is stabilize with appropriate cation, e.g. Li+ EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
Donor-acceptor bonds to O atom EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15
Ozone We saw earlier that bonding O to O2 removes most of the resonane of the O2 ,leading to the VB configuration EEWS-90.502-Goddard-L15

Fundamental Goals in Our Research on Cuprate Superconductivity Determine the fundamental mechanism in order to have a sound basis for designing improved systems. Criterion for any proposed mechanism of superconductivity: Does it explain the unusual properties of the normal and superconducting state for cuprates? There is no precedent for a theory of superconductivity that actually predicts new materials. Indeed we know of no case of a theorist successfully predicting a new improved superconducting material! Bernt Matthias always claimed that before trying new compositions for superconductors he would ask his Bell Labs theorists what to try and then he would always do just the opposite.
Perovskites Perovskite (CaTiO3) first described in the 1830s by the geologist Gustav Rose, who named it after the famous Russian mineralogist Count Lev Aleksevich von Perovski crystal lattice appears cubic, but it is actually orthorhombic in symmetry due to a slight distortion of the structure. Characteristic chemical formula of a perovskite ceramic: ABO3, A atom +2 charge. 12 coordinate at the corners of a cube. B atom +4 charge. Octahedron of O ions on the faces of that cube centered on a B ions at the center of the cube. Together A and B form an FCC structure

Characteristic of High Tc Superconductors: Doping The undoped La2CuO4 is an insulator (band gap = 2.0 eV) La2CuO4 (Undoped): La3+, Sr2+, O2–, Cu2+ Thus cation holes = 3*2 + 2 = 8 and anion electrons = 4*2 = 8 Cu2+ d9 local spin antiferromagnetic coupling To get a metal requires doping to put holes in the valence band Doping (oxidation) La2-xSrxCuO4: Assuming 4 O2-requires 8 cation holes. But La2-xSrx 6-x holes, thus must have x Cu3+ and 1 – x Cu2+ Second possibility: assume that excitation from Cu2+ to Cu3+ is too high, then must have hole on O2– leading to O– This leads to x O– and (4 – x) O2– per formula unit. YBa2Cu3O7: Assume that all 7 O are O2– Must have 14 cation holes: since Y3+ +2 Ba2+ leads to +7, then we must have 1 Cu3+ and 2 Cu2+ The second possibility is that all Cu are Cu2+ requiring that there be1 O– and 6 O2–
Essential characteristic of all cuprate superconductors is oxidation (doping) Typical phase diagram La2-xSrxCuO4 Superconductor: 0.05 < x < 0.32 Spin Glass: 0.02 < x < 0.05 Antiferromagnetic: 0 < x < 0.02 Minimum doping to obtain superconductivity, x > 0.05. Optimum doping for highest Tc=35K at x ~ 0.15. Maximum doping above which the superconductivity disappears and the system becomes a normal metal.

(1987), Mattheiss (1987), Pickett (1989). All wrong: based on simple QM (LDA) or clusters (Cu3O8)
Which is right: ps or pp holes? undoped • Goddard et al. carried out GVB calculations on Cu3O10 + 998 point charges and found pp holes (found similar E for ps) • Electronic Structure and Valence Bond Band Structure of Cuprate Superconducting Materials; Y. Guo, J-M. Langlois, and W. A. Goddard III Science 239, 896 (1988) • The Magnon Pairing Mechanism of Superconductivity in Cuprate Ceramics G. Chen and W. A. Goddard III; Science 239, 899 (1988) doped
pp holes Goddard et al showed if the ground state has pp holes there is an attractive pair that leads to triplet P-wave Cooper pairs, and hence superconductivity. The Superconducting Properties of Copper Oxide High Temperature Superconductors; G. Chen, J-M. Langlois, Y. Guo, and W. A. Goddard III; Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 86, 3447 (1989) The Quantum Chemistry View of High Temperature Superconductors; W. A. Goddard III, Y. Guo, G. Chen, H. Ding, J-M. Langlois, and G. Lang; In High Temperature Superconductivity Proc. 39th Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics, St. Andrews, Scotland, D.P. Tunstall, W. Barford, and P. Osborne Editors, 1991 However experiment shows that the systems are singlet D-wave. Thus, pp holes does not correct provide an explanation of superconductivity in cuprates.
ps holes Emery and most physicists assumed ps holes on the oxygen. Simplifying to t–J model, calculations with on-site Coulomb repulsion suggest that if the system leads to a superconductor it should be singlet D-wave. Thus most physicists believe that ps provides the basis for a correct explanation of superconductivity. Goddard believed that if ps holes were correct, then it would lead to strong bonding to the singly occupied dx2-y2 orbitals on the adjacent Cu atoms, leading to a distortions that localize the state. This would cause a barrier to hopping to adjacent sites and hence would not be superconducting
Current canonical HighTc Hamiltonian Ops holeThe t–J Model t J J Undoped Cu d9 hole is 3d x2–y2. O 2pσ doubly occupied. Heisenberg AF with Jdd = 0.13 eV for La2CuO4. Doping creates hole in O pσ that bonds with x2–y2 to form a bonded singlet (doubly occupied hole). Singlet hole hopping through lattice prefers adjacent sites are same spin, this frustrates the normal AF coupling of d9 spins. Doped Because of Coulomb repulsion cannot have doubly occupied holes.
Summary of the t–J model Coulomb repulsion of singlet holes leads to singlet d-wave Cooper pairing. d-wave is observed in phase sensitive Josephson tunneling, in NMR spin relaxation (no Hebel-Slichter coherence peak), and in the temperature dependence of the penetration depth (λ~T2). t-J predicts an ARPES (angle-resolved photoemission) pseudogap which may have the right qualitative dependence. The t–J model has difficulty explaining most of the normal state properties (linear T resistivity, non-standard Drude relaxation, temperature dependent Hall effect, mid-IR optical absorption, and neutron ω/T scaling).
