Abstract
Bonding analysis in β-diketiminate boron and related systems has been performed. For the optimized geometries (MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ), the post-SCF electron density function has been produced and its topological parameters have been analyzed according to Atoms in Molecules Quantum Theory approach. The B–N bond has characteristics similar to those found for TM–ligand bonding. The symmetric character of the B–N interaction found for the β-diketiminate boron results from the fully π-electron delocalized character of the β-diketiminate moiety. If the π-electron system in NCCCN sequence of bonds is localized, the asymmetric B–N bonding is enforced.
