Density Functional Study on the Reaction Mechanism for the Reaction of Ni^＋ with Ethane

The mechanism of the reaction of Ni^ (^2D) with ethane in the gas-phase was studied by using density functional theory.Both the B3LYP and BLYP functionals with standard all-electron basis sets are used to give the detailed information of the potential energy surface (PES) of [Ni,C2,H6]^ . The mechanisms forming the products CH4 and H2 in the reaction of Ni^ with ethane are proposed.The reductive eliminations of CH4 and H2 are typical addition-elimination reactions.Each of the two reactions consists of two elementary steps:C-C or C-H bond activations to form inserted species followed by isomerizations to from product-like intermediate.The rate determining steps for the elimination reactions of forming CH4 and H2 are the isomerization of the inserted species rather than C-C or C-H bond activations .The elimination reaction of forming H2 was found to be thermodynamically favored compared to that of CH4.     

Theoretical study on the reaction mechanism of the gas-phase H2/CO2/Ni(3D) system

The ground-state potential energy surface (PES) in the gas-phase H2/CO2/Ni(3D) system is investigated at the CCSD(T)//B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p) levels in order to explore the possible reaction mechanism of the reverse water gas shift reaction catalyzed by Ni(3D). The calculations predict that the C-O bond cleavage of CO2 assisted by co-interacted H2 is prior to the dissociation of the H2, and the most feasible reaction path for Ni(3D) + H2 + CO2 --> Ni(3D) + H2O + CO is endothermic by 12.5 kJ mol(-1) with an energy barrier of 103.9 kJ mol(-1). The rate-determining step for the overall reaction is predicted to be the hydrogen migration with water formation. The promotion effect of H2 on the cleavage of C-O bond in CO2 is also discussed and compared with the analogous reaction of Ni(3D) + CO2 --> NiO + CO, and the difference between triplet and singlet H2/CO2/Ni systems is also discussed.     

Ab initio study of the F + CH3NHNH2 reaction mechanism

The F + CH(3)NHNH(2) reaction mechanism is studied based on ab initio quantum chemistry methods as follows: the minimum energy paths (MEPs) are computed at the UMP2/6-311++G(d,p) level; the geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and energies of all stationary points are predicted at the same level of theory; further, the energies of stationary points and the points along the MEPs are refined by UCCSD(T)/6-311++g(3df,2p). The ab initio study shows that, when the F atom approaches CH(3)NHNH(2), the heavy atoms, namely N and C atoms, are the favorable combining points. For the two N atoms, two prereaction complexes with C(s) symmetry are generated and there exists seven possible subsequent reaction routes, of which routes 1, 2, 5, and 7 are the main channels. Routes 1, 2, and 5 are associated with HF elimination, with H from the amino group or imido group, and route 7 involves the N-N bond break. Routes 3 and 6 with relation to HF elimination with H from methyl, and route 4 involved the C-N bond break, are all energetically disfavored. For the C atom, the attack of F results in the break of the C-N bond and the products are CH(3)F + NHNH(2). This route is very competitive.     

Theoretical study of the Cp2Zr-catalyzed hydrosilylation of ethylene. Reaction mechanism including new sigma-bond activation

The Cp(2)Zr-catalyzed hydrosilylation of ethylene was theoretically investigated with DFT and MP2-MP4(SDQ) methods, to clarify the reaction mechanism and the characteristic features of this reaction. Although ethylene insertion into the Zr-SiH(3) bond of Cp(2)Zr(H)(SiH(3)) needs a very large activation barrier of 41.0 (42.3) kcal/mol, ethylene is easily inserted into the Zr-H bond with a very small activation barrier of 2.1 (2.8) kcal/mol, where the activation barrier and the energy of reaction calculated with the DFT(B3LYP) method are given and in parentheses are those values which have been corrected for the zero-point energy, hereafter. Not only this ethylene insertion reaction but also the coupling reaction between Cp(2)Zr(C(2)H(4)) and SiH(4) easily takes place to afford Cp(2)Zr(H)(CH(2)CH(2)SiH(3)) and Cp(2)Zr(CH(2)CH(3))(SiH(3)) with activation barriers of 0.3 (0.7) and 5.0 (5.4) kcal/mol, respectively. This coupling reaction involves a new type of Si-H sigma-bond activation which is similar to metathesis. The important interaction in the coupling reaction is the bonding overlap between the d(pi)-pi bonding orbital of Cp(2)Zr(C(2)H(4)) and the Si-H sigma orbital. The final step is neither direct C-H nor Si-C reductive elimination, because both reductive eliminations occur with a very large activation barrier and significantly large endothermicity. This is because the d orbital of Cp(2)Zr is at a high energy. On the other hand, ethylene-assisted C-H reductive elimination easily occurs with a small activation barrier, 5.0 (7.5) kcal/mol, and considerably large exothermicity, -10.6 (-7.1) kcal/mol. Also, ethylene-assisted Si-C reductive elimination and metatheses of Cp(2)Zr(H)(CH(2)CH(2)SiH(3)) and Cp(2)Zr(CH(2)CH(3))(SiH(3)) with SiH(4) take place with moderate activation barriers, 26.5 (30.7), 18.4 (20.5), and 28.3 (31.5) kcal/mol, respectively. From these results, it is clearly concluded that the most favorable catalytic cycle of the Cp(2)Zr-catalyzed hydrosilylation of ethylene consists of the coupling reaction of Cp(2)Zr(C(2)H(4)) with SiH(4) followed by the ethylene-assisted C-H reductive elimination.     

Theoretical study of the reaction mechanism of HCN+ and CH4 of relevance to Titan's ion chemistry

Titan is the largest satellite of Saturn. In its atmosphere, CH4 is the most abundant neutral after nitrogen. In this paper, the complex doublet potential-energy surface related to the reaction between HCN+ and CH4 is investigated at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p), CCSD(T)/6-311G++(3df,2pd)(single-point), and QCISD/6-311G(d,p) computational levels. A total of seven products are located on the PES. The initial association of HCN+ with CH4 is found to be a prereaction complex 1 (HCNHCH3(+)) without barrier. Starting from 1, the most feasible pathway is the direct H-abstraction process (the internal C-H bond dissociation) leading to the product P1 (HCNH++CH3). By C-C addition, prereaction complex 1 can form intermediate 2 (HNCHCH3(+)) and then lead to the product P2 (CH3CNH++H). The rate-controlling step of this process is only 25.6 kcal/mol. It makes the Path P2 (1) R --> 1 --> TS1/2 --> 2 --> TS2/P2 --> P2 another possible way for the reaction. P3 (HCNCH3(+) + H), P5 (cNCHCH2(+) + H2), and P6 (NCCH3(+) + H2) are exothermic products, but they have higher barriers (more than 40.0 kcal/mol); P4 (H + HCN + CH3(+)) and P7 (H + H2 + HCCNH+) are endothermic products. They should be discovered under different experimental or interstellar conditions. The present study may be helpful for investigating the analogous ion-molecule reaction in Titan's atmosphere.

Theoretical study on the mechanism of the CH2F + NO2 reaction

Despite the importance of the Fluoromethyl radicals in combustion chemistry, very little experimental information on their reactions toward stable molecules is available in the literature. Motivated by recent laboratory characterization about the reaction kinetics of Chloromethyl radicals with NO2, we carried out a detailed potential energy survey on the CH2F + NO2 reaction at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and MC-QCISD (single-point) levels as an attempt toward understanding the CH2F + NO2 reaction mechanism. It is shown that the CH2F radical can react with NO2 to barrierlessly generate adduct a (H2FCNO2), followed by isomerization to b1 (H2FCONO-trans) which can easily interconvert to b2 (H2FCONO-cis). Subsequently, Starting from b (b1, b2), the most feasible pathway is the C--F and N--O1 bonds cleavage along with N--F bond formation of b (b1, b2) leading to P1 (CH2O + FNO), or the direct N--O1 weak-bond fission of b (b1, b2) to give P2 (CH2FO + NO), or the 1,3-H-shift associated with N--O1 bond rupture of b1 to form P3 (CHFO + HNO), all of which may have comparable contribution to the reaction CH2F + NO2. Much less competitively, b2 either take the 1,4-H-shift and O1--N bond cleavage to form product P4 (CHFO + HON) or undergo a concerted H-shift to isomer c2 (HFCONOH), followed by dissociation to P4. Because the rate-determining transition state (TSab1) in the most competitive channels is only 0.3 kcal/mol higher than the reactants in energy, the CH2F + NO2 reaction is expected to be rapid, and may thus be expected to significantly contribute to elimination of nitrogen dioxide pollutants. The similarities and discrepancies among the CH2X + NO2 (X = H, F, and Cl) reactions are discussed in terms of the electronegativity of halogen atom. The present article may assist in future experimental identification of the product distributions for the title reaction, and may be helpful for understanding the halogenated methyl chemistry.     

Dynamics of the gas-phase reactions of chloride ion with fluoromethane: high excess translational activation energy for an endothermic S(N)2 reaction.

Guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry techniques are used to examine the competing product channels in the reaction of Cl(-) with CH(3)F in the center-of-mass collision energy range 0.05-27 eV. Four anionic reaction products are detected: F(-), CH(2)Cl(-), FCl(-), and CHCl(-). The endothermic S(N)2 reaction Cl(-) + CH(3)F --> CH(3)Cl + F(-) has an energy threshold of E(0) = 181 +/- 14 kJ/mol, exhibiting a 52 +/- 16 kJ/mol effective barrier in excess of the reaction endothermicity. The potential energy of the S(N)2 transition state is well below the energy of the products. Dynamical impedances to the activation of the S(N)2 reaction are discussed, including angular momentum constraints, orientational effects, and the inefficiency of translational energy in promoting the reaction. The fluorine abstraction reaction to form CH(3) + FCl(-) exhibits a 146 +/- 33 kJ/mol effective barrier above the reaction endothermicity. Direct proton transfer to form HCl is highly inefficient, but HF elimination is observed above 268 +/- 95 kJ/mol. Potential energy surfaces for the reactions are calculated using the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ and HF/6-31+G(d) methods and used to interpret the dynamics.
