Abstract

Hydrogen trapping ability of various metal-ethylene complexes has been studied at the B3LYP and MP2 levels of theory using the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. Different global and local reactivity descriptors and the associated electronic structure principles provide important insights into the associated interactions. There exist two distinct classes of bonding patterns, viz., a Kubas type interaction between the metal and the H2 molecule behaving as a η2-ligand and an electrostatic interaction between the metal and the atomic hydrogens.
