过渡金属替代的CeO2（111）表面上NO+CO反应机理的理论研究（英文）

采用DFT+U方法研究了过渡金属替代的CeO2(111)表面上的NO+CO反应机理,以探求不同过渡金属对N2选择性的影响.结果表明,在反应过程中,反应活性中心由过渡金属单原子与其最近邻的氧空位组成.NO在过渡金属-氧空位上发生N–O断键,不同过渡金属上该还原步骤的难易程度不同.计算发现,右过渡金属Rh,Pd和Pt替代的CeO2(111)表面可以与吸附物之间形成较强的吸附作用,进而可以达到较高的N2选择性.其主要原因是右过渡金属具有较多的d电子,可以与吸附小分子之间形成有效的反馈键.而左过渡金属拥有较少的d电子,难以有效抓住吸附物,最终导致较低的N2选择性.

The chemistry of silylene-transition-metal complexes LnM(=SiR2)SiR3 is one of the attractive synthetic targets in organometallic chemistry for such complexes are key intermediates in many transition metal-catalyzed systems.In the present work,the novel insertion reactions of an isocyanide into the Cp*Mo(CO)2(=SiMe2)(SiMe3) Si-C bond were investigated extensively by using the DFT method.The effective core potentials(ECP) with a double-ζ valence basis set(LanL2DZ) were employed for Mo and Si and the standard 6-31G basis set for all other atoms.Polarization functions[22] were added for Si(ζd = 0.262),C(ζd = 0.8) and N(ζd = 0.8).The effect of solvent was evaluated with the standard PCM model.Our calculations show that the two-step channel is energetically favorable,and the solvation mode has minor influence on the relative energies.

Hydrogen and dihydrogen bonding of transition metal hydrides

Intermolecular interactions between a prototypical transition metal hydride WH(CO)₂NO(PH₃)₂ and a small proton donor H₂O have been studied using DFT methodology. The hydride, nitrosyl and carbonyl ligand have been considered as site of protonation. Further, DFT-D calculations in which empirical corrections for the dispersion energy are included, have been carried out. A variety of pure and hybrid density functionals (BP86, PW91, PBE, BLYP, OLYP, B3LYP, B1PW91, PBE0, X3LYP) have been considered, and our calculations indicate the PBE functional and its hybrid variation are well suited for the calculation of transition metal hydride hydrogen and dihydrogen bonding. Dispersive interactions make up for a sizeable portion of the intermolecular interaction, and amount to 20–30% of the bond energy and to 30–40% of the bond enthalpy. An energy decomposition analysis reveals that the H?H bond of transition metal hydrides contains both covalent and electrostatic contributions.     

A DFT study on structural stability and electronic property of VIIIB transition metal-doped carbon nanocaps

Carbon nanocap (CNC) was selected for the systems doped with VIIIB transition metal (TM) atoms. The geometrical structures and electronic properties of TM-doped CNCs were calculated using the density functional theory method. It was found that TM atoms can interact with CNC to form TM–CNC complexes, which corresponded with the large partial charge transfer. All of molecular orbitals of TM–CNC complexes were localized in vicinity doping site. The density of states of these TM-doped CNCs were exhibited mostly metallic or narrow–gap semiconductor.     

Periodic trends in metal–metal bonding in edge-shared [M2Cl10] systems

Periodic trends in metal–metal interactions in edge-shared [M₂Cl₁₀]⁴⁻ systems, involving the transition metals from groups 4 through 8 and electronic configurations ranging from d¹d¹ through d⁵d⁵, have been investigated by calculating metal–metal bonding and spin-polarization (exchange) effects using density functional theory. The trends found in this study are compared with those for the analogous face-shared [M₂Cl₉]³⁻ systems reported in earlier work. Strong linear correlations between the metal–metal bonding and spin-polarization terms have been obtained for all groups considered. In general, spin polarization and electron localization are predominant in 3d–3d species whereas electron delocalization and metal–metal bonding are favoured in 5d–5d species, with more variable results observed for 4d–4d systems. As previously found for face-shared [M₂Cl₉]³⁻ systems, the strong correlations between the metal–metal bonding and spin polarization energy terms can be related to the fact that both properties appear to be similarly affected by the changes in the metal orbital properties and electron density occurring within the dⁿdⁿ groups. A significant difference between the face-shared and edge-shared systems is that while the 4d metals in the former show a strong tendency for delocalized metal–metal bonded structures, the edge-shared counterparts display much greater variation with both metal–metal bonded and weakly coupled complexes observed. The tendency for weaker metal–metal interactions can be traced to the inability of the edge-shared bridging structure to accommodate the smaller metal–metal distances required for strong metal–metal bonding.     

过渡金属离子与烷烃反应机理的理论研究──镍离子(2D)与丙烷反应中氢分子的还原消除机理

Theoretical study on the mechanism of reaction between 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butanone and malononitrile catalyzed by lithium ethoxide

The The mechanism of reaction between 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butanone and malononitrile for the synthesis of 2-dicyanomethylene-4, 5, 5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carbonitrile catalyzed by lithium ethoxide was investigated by density functional theory (DFT). The geometries and the frequencies of reactants, intermediates, transition states and products were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The vibration analysis and the IRC analysis verified the authenticity of transition states. The reaction processes were confirmed by the changes of charge density at the bond-forming critical point. The results indicated that lithium ethoxide is an effective catalyst in the synthesis of 2-dicyanomethylene-4, 5, 5-trimethyl-2, 5-dihydrofuran-3-carbonitrile from malononi-trile and 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butanone. The activation energy of the reaction with lithium ethoxide was 115.86 kJ·mol⁻¹ less than the uncatalyzed reaction. The mechanism of the lithium ethoxide catalyzed reaction differed from the mechanism of the uncatalyzed reaction.     

The mechanism of transition metal catalyzed carbonylation of allyl halides: A theoretical investigation

The mechanism of the carbonylation reaction of allyl halides catalyzed by nickel (Ni(CO)₄) and palladium (Cl₂Pd(PPh₃)₂) complexes is theoretically investigated at the DFT level using the hybrid B3LYP functional. The favored reaction path to carbonylation corresponds, for both catalysts, to a direct attack of the halogen on the metal. This affords η¹ intermediates that can undergo the final carbonylation step. It is also possible to obtain the acyl product (β,γ-unsaturated acyl halides) from η² and/or η³ intermediates. However, in this case, the barrier of the rate-determining step to carbonylation is much higher. Since a channel on the potential surface connects rather easily the η² or η³ intermediates to the η¹ intermediates, an alternative and competitive path leading to the acyl products can originate from the η² or η³ intermediates, follow the η²/η³ → η¹ transformation, then undergo the final carbonylation step.     

The role of additional solvents in transition metal complex catalyzed asymmetric reductions in ionic liquid containing systems

When ionic liquids (ILs) are employed as solvents for transition metal complex (TMC) catalyzed reductions, a second solvent can be added to increase the efficiency of the catalytic cycle and the solubility of the reactant in the IL phase. Two industrially relevant asymmetric hydrogenations, the enantioselective reductions of methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate with Rh-EtDuPHOS and methyl acetoacetate with Ru-BINAP, were performed in different catalytic systems including 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate/ tetrafluoroborate as ILs. Product separation and TMC recycling was performed by extracting the product from the reaction mixture. This can be accomplished by cooling the system, by adding an excess of the second solvent or by adding a third solvent. A high solubility of the second solvent in the IL catalytic phase favors the reaction activity, but can induce leaching of the IL and TMC.     

Bonding analysis and electronic structure of transition metal-benzoquinoline complexes: A theoretical study

The geometric and electronic structures of a series of hypothetical compounds of the types CpM(C₁₃H₉N) and (CO)₃M(C₁₃H₉N) (M = first row transition metal and C₁₃H₉N = 7,8-benzoquinoline) have been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT). The benzoquinoline ligand can bind to the metal through η¹-η⁶ coordination modes, adopting structures of types a, b and c, in agreement with the electron count and the nature of the metal. In the investigated species, the most favored closed-shell count is 18-MVE, except for the Ti and V models which prefer the open-shell 16-MVE configuration. This study has shown the difference in the coordination ability of this heteropolycyclic ligand and coordination of the inner C₆ ring is less favored than the outer C₆ and C₅N rings, in agreement with the π-electron density localization.     

Sandwich-type transition metal complexes [(CBO)n]2M with carbon boronyl ligands (CBO)n (n=4–6)

A density functional theory investigation on a series of sandwich-type transition metal complexes [(CBO)_n]₂M (n=4–6; M=transition metals) with carbon boronyls (CBO)_n as effective aromatic ligands has been presented in this work at B3LYP level. The ground-states of these complexes possess staggered D_nd symmetries, while the corresponding eclipsed D_nh structures exist as transition states with slightly higher energies (within 5.8 kJ/mol). Carbon boronyl complexes [(CBO)_n]₂M are confirmed to be much more stable than their boron carbonyl isomers [(BCO)_n]₂M, which, on the other hand, take eclipsed ground-states with D_nh symmetries. The carbon boronyl complexes [(BCO)_n]₂M proposed in this work parallelize the well-known sandwich-type hydrocarbon complexes [C_nH_n]₂M in coordination chemistry with boronyl groups –BO isolobal to –H atoms in corresponding ligands.     

Cu催化水煤气的变换反应机理
