The gas-phase heterodinuclear gold-nickel carbonyl AuNi(CO) ( = 2-3) anion complexes were mass-selected and studied by using photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy in combination with quantum-chemical calculations, which can establish both the geometries and electronic structures of these anions. These complexes are all confirmed to be singlet ground states with one gold atom bonded at the central nickel atom of the Ni(CO) moieties. Further bonding analyses indicate that unlike the alkali-metals as covalently bonded ligands to form the electron-sharing alkali-metal-nickel bonding in the alkali-metal-nickel carbonyl anionic complexes, the Au atom in the AuNi(CO) complexes serves as a datively bound ligand for Ni(CO) to form gold-to-nickel dative bonding.

Nickel monocarbonyl species with Ni(I) and Ni(0) have been synthesized and fully characterized by employing an PNP-Ph pincer ligand having a -C(Ph)- bridge moiety to tether two aromatic rings. To see the effect of the bridge moiety, these complexes were structurally compared with the previously studied nickel complexes supported by PNP and PNP-Me ligands and methylation of the nickel carbonyl species was particularly investigated. Since a Ni(I)-CO species is known to be one of the key intermediates during the C-C coupling reaction to give an acetyl species, according to the paramagnetic mechanism of acetyl coenzyme A synthase (ACS), their reactivity toward MeI has been examined.

Site-targeted decoration of catalytic nanocrystals is essential for maximizing performance with minimal materials use. Here, we demonstrate successful, site-targeted decoration of palladium (Pd) nanocrystals with nickel (Ni) exclusively along crystal facet edges through the thermal decomposition of nickel carbonyl (Ni(CO)) vapor. Strong interactions between carbon monoxide and Pd facet for passivation or between Ni(CO) and crystal facet edges resulted in selective Ni decoration at the nanocrystal edges.

We present a reduced-cost implementation of the state-averaged driven similarity renormalization group (SA-DSRG) based on the frozen natural orbital (FNO) approach. The natural orbitals (NOs) are obtained by diagonalizing the one-body reduced density matrix from SA-DSRG second-order perturbation theory (SA-DSRG-PT2). We consider three criteria to truncate the virtual NOs for the subsequent electron correlation treatment beyond SA-DSRG-PT2.
