Exploring Spin-Orbit Effects in a [Cu6 Tl]+ Nanocluster Featuring an Uncommon Tl-H Interaction

© 2024 Wiley-VCH GmbH..

Reaction of [CuH(PPh3 )]6 with 1 equiv. of Tl(OTf) results in formation of [Cu6 TlH6 (PPh3 )6 ][OTf] ([1]OTf]), which can be isolated in good yields. Variable-temperature 1 H NMR spectroscopy, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, confirms the presence of a rare Tl-H orbital interaction. According to DFT, the 1 H chemical shift of the Tl-adjacent hydride ligands of [1]+ includes 7.7 ppm of deshielding due to spin-orbit effects from the heavy Tl atom. This study provides valuable new insights into a rare class of metal hydrides, given that [1][OTf] is only the third isolable species reported to contain a Tl-H interaction.
