Abstract
A series of dinuclear alkaline earth metal (Ae) structures Na2- [(CHNH)2Ae-Ae(CHNH)2] (1-5) and (CHNH)2Ae- Ae(CHNH)2 (6-10) containing Ae-Ae bonds were optimized using density functional theory (DFT) and hybrid Hatree-Fock/DFT methods. The geometric and NBO analyses indicate that there are covalent Ae-Ae bonds in these α-diimine-stabilized structures, which have been further investigated by NBO second-order interaction and bond dissociation energetic examinations.
