摘要
In this paper, we systematically investigate the interactions of I-2 with several representative nitrogen-containing building units (NBUs) using high-precision ab initio and density functional theory calculations. Our findings reveal that the binding strengths of I-2 with NBUs are positively correlated with the hybridization degrees of N-2p electrons. Further energy analyses indicate that the I-N orbital interaction determines the binding strength to a great extent. Especially for I-2@NBU(sp(3)), its sigma n binding orbital formed by the sigma orbital of I-2 and the n orbital of NBU(sp(3)) exhibits nearly perfect orbital overlap. QTAIM analyses identify the unique partially covalent feature of I-N bonds in I-2@NBU(sp(2)/sp(3)) and the pure ionic feature in I-2@NBU(sp). The I-N orbital interactions lead to remarkable electron reorganizations in I-2@NBUs. Moreover, we demonstrate that the binding strengths between NBUs and I-2 can be effectively regulated through introducing electron-donating/electron-withdrawing functional groups. This study deepens the fundamental understanding of iodine coordination chemistry.
