卡宾与醚C——H键插入反应的理论研究(Ⅳ)——CX2(X=H,F,Cl)与甲基苄基醚C-H键的插入反应

Dynamics of the interaction of vapor-deposited copper with alkanethiolate monolayers: bond insertion, complexation, and penetration pathways

We have investigated the interaction of vapor-deposited copper with -CH3, -OH, -OCH3, -COOH, and -CO2CH3 terminated alkanethiolate self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) adsorbed on polycrystalline Au using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations. For -OH, -COOH, and -CO2CH3 terminated SAMs measurements indicate that for all copper coverages there is a competition between Cu atom bond insertion into C-O bonds, stabilization at the SAM/vacuum interface, and penetration to the Au/S interface. In contrast, on a -OCH3 terminated SAM Cu only weakly interacts with the methoxy group and penetrates to the Au substrate, while for a -CH3 terminated SAM deposited copper only penetrates to the Au/S interface. The insertion of copper into C-O terminal group bonds is an activated process. We estimate that the barriers for Cu insertion are 55 +/- 5 kJ mol(-1) for the ester, 50 +/- 5 kJ mol(-1) for the acid, and 55 +/- 5 kJ mol(-1) for the hydroxyl terminated SAMs. The activation barrier for the copper insertion is much higher for the -OCH3 SAM. Copper atoms with energies lower than the activation barrier partition between complexation (weak interaction) with the terminal groups and penetration through the monolayer to the Au/S interface. Weakly stabilized copper atoms at the SAM/vacuum interface slowly penetrate through the monolayer. In contrast to the case of Al deposition, C-O bond insertion is favored over C=O, C-H, and C-C bond insertion.     

Computational evidence for methyl-donated hydrogen bonds and hydrogen-bond networking in 1,2-ethanediol-dimethyl sulfoxide

The 1:1 complex of 1,2-ethanediol with dimethyl sulfoxide was studied using density functional theory. A network of three hydrogen bonds holds the complex together, including two in which each methyl group donates to the same hydroxyl oxygen. Four lines of evidence support the existence of methyl-donated hydrogen bonds. The interaction energy is 36 +/- 5 kJ/mol using Becke's three parameter hybrid theory with the 1991 nonlocal correlation functional of Perdew and Wang, and a moderately large basis set (B3PW91/6-311++G**//B3PW91/6-31+G**). To determine the energy of each hydrogen bond, a relaxed potential energy scan was performed in a smaller basis set to break the weaker hydrogen bonds by forced systematic rotation of the methyl groups. Two cross-checking analyses show cooperative effects that cause individual hydrogen bond energies in the network to be nonadditive. When one methyl hydrogen bond is broken, the remaining interactions stabilize the complex by storing an additional 2-3 kJ/mol. With all hydrogen bonds intact, the O[bond]H...O[bond]S hydrogen bond contributes 26 +/- 2 kJ/mol stability, and each weak methyl bond stores 5 +/- 2 kJ/mol.     

The quenching of isopropyl group rotation in van der Waals molecular solids

X-ray diffraction experiments are employed to determine the molecular and crystal structure of 3-isopropylchrysene. Based on this structure, electronic structure calculations are employed to calculate methyl group and isopropyl group rotational barriers in a central molecule of a ten-molecule cluster. The two slightly inequivalent methyl group barriers are found to be 12 and 15 kJ mol(-1) and the isopropyl group barrier is found to be about 240 kJ mol(-1), meaning that isopropyl group rotation is completely quenched in the solid state. For comparison, electronic structure calculations are also performed in the isolated molecule, determining both the structure and the rotational barriers, which are determined to be 15 kJ mol(-1) for both the isopropyl group and the two equivalent methyl groups. These calculations are compared with, and are consistent with, previously published NMR (1)H spin-lattice relaxation experiments where it was found that the barrier for methyl group rotation was 11+/-1 kJ mol(-1) and that the barrier for isopropyl group rotation was infinite on the solid state NMR time scale.     

Gas phase structure of Ruppert's reagent, CF3SiMe3

CF3SiMe3 (Ruppert's reagent) has been investigated by gas phase electron diffraction, microwave spectroscopy and quantum chemical methods, deriving structural parameters and the barrier height for the methyl torsion. The bond length of the Si-CF3 bond, 1.941(3) A, is the longest Si-C bond observed so far in the gas phase. The V3 barrier for the methyl group torsion (V3= 5.71 kJ/mol) is only slightly lower than barriers determined for other trimethylsilane compounds.     

Enthalpies of formation and bond dissociation energies of lower alkyl hydroperoxides and related hydroperoxy and alkoxy radicals

The enthalpies of formation and bond dissociation energies, D(ROO-H), D(RO-OH), D(RO-O), D(R-O 2) and D(R-OOH) of alkyl hydroperoxides, ROOH, alkyl peroxy, RO, and alkoxide radicals, RO, have been computed at CBS-QB3 and APNO levels of theory via isodesmic and atomization procedures for R = methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and isopropyl and n-butyl, tert-butyl, isobutyl and sec-butyl. We show that D(ROO-H) approximately 357, D(RO-OH) approximately 190 and D(RO-O) approximately 263 kJ mol (-1) for all R, whereas both D(R-OO) and D(R-OOH) strengthen with increasing methyl substitution at the alpha-carbon but remain constant with increasing carbon chain length. We recommend a new set of group additivity contributions for the estimation of enthalpies of formation and bond energies.     

Theoretical study for pyridinium-based ionic liquid 1-ethylpyridinium trifluoroacetate: synthesis mechanism, electronic structure, and catalytic reactivity

By performing density functional theory calculations, we have studied the synthesis mechanism, electronic structure, and catalytic reactivity of a pyridinium-based ionic liquid, 1-ethylpyridinium trifluoroacetate ([epy](+)[CF(3)COO](-)). It is found that the synthesis of the pyridinium salt follows a S(N)2 mechanism. The electronic structural analyses show that multiple H bonds are generally involved in the pyridinium-based ionic liquid, which may play a decisive role for stabilizing the ionic liquid. The cation-anion interaction mainly involves electron transfer between the lone pair of the oxygen atom in the anion and the antibonding orbital of the C*-H bond (C* denotes the carbon atom at the ortho-position of nitrogen atom in the cation). This present work has also given clearly the catalytic mechanism of [epy](+)[CF(3)COO](-) toward to the Diels-Alder (D-A) reaction of acrylonitrile with 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene. Both the cation and anion are shown to play important roles in promoting the D-A reaction. The cation [epy](+), as a Lewis acid, associates the C≡N group by C≡N···H H bond to increase the polarity of the C═C double bond in acrylonitrile, while the anion CF(3)COO(-) links with the methyl group in 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene by C-H···O H bond, which weakens the electron-donating capability of methyl and thereby lowers the energy barrier of the D-A reaction. The present results are expected to provide valuable information for the design and application of pyridinium-based ionic liquids.     

Weak, improper, C-O...H-C hydrogen bonds in the dimethyl ether dimer

The ground-state rotational spectrum of the dimethyl ether dimer, (DME)(2), has been studied by molecular beam Fourier transform microwave and free jet millimeter wave absorption spectroscopies. The molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectra of the (DME-d(6))(2), (DME-(13)C)(2), (DME-d(6))...(DME), (DME-(13)C)...(DME), and (DME)...(DME-(13)C) isotopomers have also been assigned. The rotational parameters have been interpreted in terms of a C(s) geometry with the two monomers bound by three weak C-H...O hydrogen bonds, each with an average interaction energy of about 1.9 kJ/mol. The experimental data combined with high-level ab initio calculations show this kind of interaction to be improper, blue-shifted hydrogen bonding, with an average shortening of the C-H bonds involved in the hydrogen bonding of 0.0014 A. The length of the C-H...O hydrogen bonds, r(O...H), is in the range 2.52-2.59 A.     

Mechanisms of initial propane activation on molybdenum oxides: a density functional theory study

We report the first detailed density functional theory study on the mechanisms of initial propane activation on molybdenum oxides. We consider 6 possible mechanisms of the C-H bond activation on metal oxides, leading to 17 transition states. We predict that hydrogen abstraction by terminal Mo=O is the most feasible reaction pathway. The calculated activation enthalpy and entropy are 32.3 kcal/mol and -28.6 cal/(mol/K), respectively, in reasonably good agreement with the corresponding experimental values (28.0 kcal/mol and -29.1 cal/(mol/K)). We find that activating the methylene C-H bond is 4.7 kcal/mol more favorable than activating the methyl C-H bond. This regioselectivity is correlated with the difference in strength between a methylene C-H bond and a methyl C-H bond. Our calculations suggest that a combined effect from both the methylene and the methyl C-H bond cleavages leads to the experimentally observed overall kinetic isotopic effects from propane to propylene on the MoO(x)/ZrO(2) catalysts.
