键解离焓的理论方法研究

The density functional theory (DFT) is the most popular method for evaluating bond dis-sociation enthalpies (BDEs) of most molecules. Thus, we are committed to looking for alternative methods that can balance the computational cost and higher precision to the best for large systems. The performance of DFT, double-hybrid DFT, and high-level com-posite methods are examined. The tested sets contain monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic molecules, branched hydrocarbons, small inorganic molecules, etc. The results show that the mPW2PLYP and G4MP2 methods achieve reasonable agreement with the benchmark values for most tested molecules, and the mean absolute deviations are 2.43 and 1.96 kcal/mol after excluding the BDEs of branched hydrocarbons. We recommend the G4MP2 is the most appropriate method for small systems (atoms number ≤20); the double-hybrid DFT methods are advised for large aromatic molecules in medium size (20 ≤atoms number ≤50), and the double-hybrid DFT methods with empirical dispersion correction are recommended for long-chain and branched hydrocarbons in the same size scope; the DFT methods are advised to apply for large systems (atoms number ≥50), and the M06-2X and B3P86 methods are also favorable. Moreover, the di erences of optimized geometry of different methods are discussed and the effects of basis sets for various methods are investigated.

钯催化烯基苯并噁嗪酮基于内球型机理的线性和不对称烯丙基烷基化反应

烯基苯并噁嗪酮作为底物参与反应受到有机合成工作者的广泛关注.在过渡金属催化作用下,烯基苯并噁嗪酮脱除一分子二氧化碳,生成的两性离子中间体既可以被亲核试剂进攻,得到结构丰富的芳香胺,也可以作为1,4-偶极子与硫叶立德,缺电子烯烃或α,β-不饱和醛参与成环,分别生成相应的五元、六元或七元含氮杂环.后者广泛存在于农药、医药和生物活性分子中.已报道的钯催化烯基苯并噁嗪酮的不对称转化反应中,支链结构是主产物,线性结构产物比较少见.这是因为烯丙基邻位的氨基负离子与亲核试剂存在氢键或者静电作用,诱导亲核试剂进攻位阻更大但是能量更低的苄位.不同于传统的钯催化烯丙基取代反应,产物的结构通常是由亲核试剂的软硬程度决定.除了化学选择性的问题,产物中双键的Z/E构型和立体选择性的控制也同样成为挑战.近期Li课题组(Org.Lett.,2016,18,4392–4395)基于定位基辅助的Rh(Ⅲ)催化C?H活化策略实现了芳烃烯丙基化得到线性产物.Shi课题组(Chem.Commun.,2019,55,1283–1286)利用Ir(Ⅰ)和Br?nsted酸协同催化实现了吖内酯进攻端位烯丙基.但是,这些反应仅能得到消旋产物.发展不对称的线性烯丙基取代反应,不仅可以拓展烯基苯并噁嗪酮的应用前景,还可以合成具有手性的邻乙烯基芳香胺.本文采用α-硫氰基取代的茚酮作亲核试剂,不同于以往文献报道的机理,氨基负离子对烯醇式茚酮没有起到导向作用,意外得到以直链为主的产物.经过优化,最终以联萘二酚骨架亚膦酰胺为配体,钯作为催化剂,成功构建了一系列与硫氰基直接相连的季碳手性产物.所有反应产物均有优秀的化学选择性(线性选择性>20/1),E/Z选择性(>20/1)和立体选择性(最高95%ee).并且该反应适用范围广泛,基团的兼容性良好.为解释实验结果,本文进行相关的控制实验和DFT计算.计算结果表明,由于氨基负离子碱性较强,茚酮α位C?H酸性较强,直接发生了质子转移生成茚酮烯醇负离子,此时氢键作用消失不能起到导向作用.本文还考察了茚酮烯醇负离子与烯丙基钯通过静电作用形成离子复合物.与之前文献报道不同,本文采用了单齿膦配体且钯与配体等量,这意味着钯处于配位不饱和状态,导致离子复合物极其不稳定,烯醇负离子与硫氰基直接与钯配位成键,该过程结合能高达23.47 kcal/mol.最终配合物中间体通过内球型机理,经历环状过渡态得到以线性为主的产物.     

表面羟基辅助甲醛分子在金红石型TiO2(110)表面迁移动力学研究

As the photo-dissociation product of methanol on the TiO₂(110) surface,the diffusion and desorption processes of formaldehyde (HCHO) were investigated by using scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and density functional theory (DFT).The molecular-level images revealed the HCHO molecules could diffuse and desorb on the surface at 80 K under UV laser irradiation.The diffusion was found to be mediated by hydrogen adatoms nearby,which were produced from photodissociation of methanol.Diffusion of HCHO was significantly decreased when there was only one H adatom near the HCHO molecule.Furthermore,single HCHO molecule adsorbed on the bare TiO₂(110) surface was quite stable,little photo-desorption was observed during laser irradiation.The mechanism of hydroxyl groups assisted diffusion of formaldehyde was also investigated using theoretical calculations.
