V/P复合氧化物上C–H键活化的密度泛函研究（英文）

选择氧化催化剂通常为多组分复合氧化物.一般认为,高价过渡金属的端末双键氧(M=O)是烷烃活化的中心,而非金属端氧(NM=O)与烷烃活化无关.但近期的理论研究发现,复合氧化物中非金属端氧也可能参与烷烃活化.本文采用密度泛函方法(B3LYP)对比V=O和P=O的脱氢活性,并深入揭示二者的差异.H脱除反应可以视为是质子偶联电子传递的过程.对于V/P复合氧化物,V5+充当电子的受体,而V=O和P=O均可接受质子.由于P=O具有更强的质子化能力,导致PO–H键能比VO–H有利6–10 kcal/mol.对于烷烃活化,V=O和P=O脱氢的能垒均可与反应焓变很好地关联,但二者线性回归的截距相差6.2 kcal/mol,说明在相同的焓驱动下,P=O脱氢需要克服更高的能垒.根据Marcus模型,反应的能垒不仅取决去反应焓变,还与内部重组能有关.计算表明,在脱氢过程中,P=O需克服的重组能为128–140 kcal/mol,比V=O过程高出21–23 kcal/mol.这很好地解释了前面的计算结果.应该指出的是,除了反应热力学驱动和重组能外,在势能曲线相交处的电子耦合作用(?HAB?)亦对能量有一定的影响.丁烷选择氧化制顺酐可能经过2-丁烯,丁二烯,2,5-二氢呋喃和丁烯酸内酯等一系列中间体,共有8个H原子在反应过程中需要脱除.对于丁烷的脱氢,P=O的能垒仅比V=O低1.3 kcal/mol,说明初始反应时二者是竞争的.但对于2-丁烯和2,5-二氢呋喃,二者活化能的差距增加为6–7 kcal/mol,说明这时P=O脱氢将占主导.而对丁烯酸内酯活化,二者活化能的差异又缩小到2.5 kcal/mol,表明V=O又具有一定的竞争力.事实上,这种能垒的差异与端氧的亲核性密切相关.P=O更具亲核性,因此有利于被更具酸性的C–H键进攻.根据Evens的估计,烷烃C–H键的p Ka为50左右,而烯丙基性C–H为43.这就很好地解释了为什么2-丁烯和2,5-二氢呋喃更容易和P=O发生反应,而丁烷脱氢二者差异不大的原因.这些理论研究可以加深我们对复合氧化物催化剂上活性位点的认识,并为催化剂的理性设计提供理论支撑.     

Murai反应中芳香酮邻位C–H键活化的区域选择性的理论研究

钌催化剂RuH_2(CO)(PPh_3)_3使Murai反应中芳香酮β位C–H键的催化活化反应具有极高的产率与选择性.本文采用密度泛函(DFT)方法研究了钌配合物催化芳香酮邻位C–H键活化的反应机理,剖析了芳香酮C–H键活化反应中产生区域选择性的原因.计算结果表明,C–H键的活化位垒为1.1 kcal/mol,从反应动态学角度很好地解释了该反应的区域选择性.通过路径a与路径b的比较,发现C=C双键更容易插入到Ru–H键而不是Ru–C键中.另外,无论C–C键形成(C–C活化过程)出现在路径a的烯烃插入基元反应,还是出现在路径b的还原消除基元反应,C–C键形成步骤都是整个催化反应的决速步骤.与路径a和b比较,反应路径c中C–C键形成过程的空间位阻较大,能垒也更高.     

正丁烷在VMgO和Ni-VMgO催化剂上氧化脱氢

 采用4种方法制备了VMgO催化剂样品(w(V2O5)=30%,w(MgO)=70%),并将其用于正丁烷氧化脱氢气固相反应. 结果表明,MgO经蒸馏水回流和焙烧处理后再用NH4VO3溶液浸渍所制得的VMgO,对正丁烷氧化脱氢生成丁烯和丁二烯反应具有更好的催化性能. 这是由于用该法制备的VMgO催化剂中存在较多的Mg3V2O8物种. 通过添加Ni对VMgO催化剂进行了改性. 结果表明,适量添加Ni(n(Ni)/n(V)=0.3)有利于催化剂中Mg3V2O8的生成,而Ni以Ni3V2O8的形态存在. 由此明显改善了VMgO催化剂对正丁烷氧化脱氢生成丁烯和丁二烯反应的催化性能.

采用5T簇模型,利用密度泛函理论在B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d)水平下研究正丁烷在酸性分子筛上的单分子催化裂解反应。本文重点详细研究了正丁烷在分子筛表面不同C位的脱氢反应。在B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d)水平下计算所得第一和第二位C-C键裂解的活化能垒分别为 238、217 kJ/mol。而第一第二序位脱氢反应能垒分别为296、242 kJ/mol。正丁烷不同序位脱氢反应的活化能垒相差54 kJ/mol。从计算结果可以看出,正丁烷在分子筛上催化裂解脱氢反应优先发生在第二位C原子上。此外,本文还讨论了簇模型结构与酸性的关系,结果显示改变封端Si-H键的键长的方法可以用来模拟分子筛酸性变化。最后研究了分子筛酸性变化与正丁烷催化裂解反应能垒的关系。

Density functional study of the sigma and pi bond activation at the Pd=X (X = Sn, Si, C) bonds of the (H2PC2H4PH2)Pd=XH2 complexes. Is the bond cleavage homolytic or heterolytic?

The mechanism for the activation of the sigma bonds, the O-H of H2O, C-H of CH4, and the H-H of H2, and the pi bonds, the C[triple bond]C of C2H2, C=C of C2H4, and the C=O of HCHO, at the Pd=X (X = Sn, Si, C) bonds of the model complexes (H2PC2H4PH2)Pd=XH2 5 has been theoretically investigated using a density functional method (B3LYP). The reaction is significantly affected by the electronic nature of the Pd=X bond, and the mechanism is changed depending on the atom X. The activation of the O-H bond with the lone pair electron is heterolytic at the Pd=X (X = Sn, Si) bonds, while it is homolytic at the Pd=C bond. The C-H and H-H bonds without the lone pair electron are also heterolytically activated at the Pd=X bonds independent of the atom X, where the hydrogen is extracted as a proton by the Pd atom in the case of X = Sn, Si and by the C atom in the case of X=C because the nucleophile is switched between the Pd and X atoms depending on the atom X. In contrast, the pi bond activation of C[triple bond]C and C=C at the Pd=Sn bond proceeds homolytically, and is accompanied by the rotation of the (H2PC2H4PH2)Pd group around the Pd-Sn axis to successfully complete the reaction by both the electron donation from the pi orbital to Sn p orbital and the back-donation from the Pd dpi orbital to the pi orbital. On the other hand, the activation of the C=O pi bond with the lone pair electron at the Pd=Sn bond has two reaction pathways: one is homolytic with the rotation of the (H2PC2H4PH2)Pd group and the other is heterolytic without the rotation. The role of the ligands controlling the activation mechanism, which is heterolytic or homolytic, is discussed.     

Exploring The Sequence of Electron Density Along The Chemical Reactions Between Carbonyl Oxides And Ammonia/Water Using Bond Evolution Theory

The molecular mechanism of the reactions between four carbonyl oxides and ammonia/water are investigated using the M06-2X functional together with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The analysis of activation and reaction enthalpy shows that the exothermicity of each process increased with the substitution of electron donating substituents (methyl and ethenyl). Along each reaction pathway, two new chemical bonds C−N/C−O and O−H are expected to form. A detailed analysis of the flow of the electron density during their formation have been characterized from the perspective of bonding evolution theory (BET). For all reaction pathways, BET revealed that the process of C−N and O−H bond formation takes place within four structural stability domains (SSD), which can be summarized as follows: the depopulation of V(N) basin with the formation of first C−N bond (appearance of V(C,N) basin), cleavage of N−H bond with the creation of V(N) and V(H) monosynaptic basin, and finally the V(H,O) disynaptic basin related to O−H bond. On the other hand, in the case of water, the cleavage of O−H bond with the formation of V(O) and V(H) basins is the first stage, followed by the formation of the O−H bond as a second stage, and finally the creation of C−O bond.

钒硼双原子阳离子活化甲烷研究

Methane activation by transition metal species has been extensively investigated over the past few decades. It is observed that ground-state monocations of bare 3d transition metals are inert toward CH₄ at room temperature because of unfavorable thermodynamics. In contrast, many mono-ligated 3d transition metal cations, such as MO⁺ (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn), MH⁺ (M = Fe, Co), and NiX⁺ (X = H, CH₃, F), as well as several bis-ligated 3d transition metal cations including OCrO⁺, Ni(H)(OH)⁺, and Fe(O)(OH)⁺ activate the C―H bond of methane under thermal collision conditions because of the pronounced ligand effects. In most of the above-mentioned examples, the 3d metal atoms are observed to cooperate with the attached ligands to activate the C―H bond. Compared to the extensive studies on active species comprising of middle and late 3d transition metals, the knowledge about the reactivity of early 3d transition metal species toward methane and the related C―H activation mechanisms are still very limited. Only two early 3d transition metal species HMO⁺ (M = Ti and V) are discovered so far to activate the C―H bond of methane via participation of their metal atoms. In this study, by performing mass spectrometric experiments and density functional theory calculations, we have identified that the diatomic vanadium boride cation (VB⁺) can activate methane to produce a dihydrogen molecule and carbon-boron species under thermal collision conditions. The strong electrostatic interaction makes the reaction preferentially proceed the V side. To generate experimentally observed product ions, a two-state reactivity scenario involving spin conversion from high-spin sextet to low-spin quartet is necessary at the entrance of the reaction. This result is consistent with the reported reactions of 3d transition metal species with CH₄, in which the C―H bond cleavage generally occurs in the low-spin states, even if the ground states of the related active species are in the high-spin states. For VB⁺ + CH₄, the insertion of the synergetic V―B unit (rather than a single V or B atom) into the H₃C―H bond causes the initial C―H bond activation driven by the strong bond strengths of V―CH₃ and B―H. The mechanisms of methane activation by VB⁺ discussed in this study may provide useful guidance to the future studies on methane activation by early transition metal systems.
