Abstract
Possible routes of the protonation of the free beryllium malonate Be(Mal)2 and beryllium acetylacetonate Be(Acac)2 complexes were determined by the quantum-chemical method in the DFT approximation. The influence of the protonation on the electronic and molecular structures (geometry of the metallocycles, energies and compositions of the molecular orbitals, effective charges on the atoms, and site occupancies of atomic orbital overlapping) was studied. The change in the energy of the molecular orbitals was considered as a function of their localization on the protonated and nonprotonated ligands of the complexes. The addition of a proton to one of the oxygen atoms was shown to be most probable.
