DFT studies on the copolymerization of alpha-olefins with polar monomers: ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymerization catalyzed by a Pd-based diimine catalyst.

Gradient-corrected density functional theory has been used to study the elementary reactions for the copolymerization of ethylene with methyl acrylate catalyzed by Pd-based diimine catalysts, modeled by the generic complex N(wedge)N-Pd(n-C(3)H(7))(+), with N(wedge)N = -NHCHCHNH-. The steric effects in the real systems are discussed on the basis of the calculations for the catalyst with N(wedge)N = -NArCRCRNAr-, R = CH(3), and Ar = C(6)H(3)(i-Pr(2)) and the previous calculations on ethylene/propylene polymerization. Considerations have been given to the different possible acrylate complexes, as well as the transition states and the products (agostic complexes and the alternative chelates) for two acrylate insertion paths (1,2 and 2,1). The chelate-opening reactions have also been studied. The results revealed a strong electronic preference for the 2,1-insertion paths, with a barrier that is 4.5 kcal/mol lower than any other studied insertion pathway. In the real systems the 2,1-insertion of acrylate is preferred by 0.5 kcal/mol. The 2,1-insertion barrier calculated for the real system of 12.4 kcal/mol is in very good agreement with the experimental value of 12.1 kcal/mol. The six-member chelate is the most stable insertion product with an energy that is 21 kcal/mol lower than the kinetic insertion product. The reactions of the chelate opening by ethylene that start from the lowest energy complexes have the lowest barrier for the four-member ring (23 kcal/mol) and the highest for the six-member structure (30.4 kcal/mol). The high barrier for the opening of the six-member chelate suggests the possibility of a two-step chelate-opening mechanism. The internal barriers for the chelate-opening reactions starting from the higher energy complexes are lower then the one-step reaction that starts from the preferred complex and comparable to those of the ethylene insertion into the Pd-alkyl bond. While the chelate opening by a subsequent acrylate insertion seems to be facile for the generic catalyst, steric effects in the real catalyst are likely to decrease the acrylate pi-complexation energies and increase the insertion barriers to the extent where such a reaction becomes unfeasible.     

Rate constants from the reaction path Hamiltonian. I. Reactive flux simulations for dynamically correct rates

As ab initio electronic structure calculations become more accurate, inherent sources of error in classical transition state theory such as barrier recrossing and tunneling may become major sources of error in calculating rate constants. This paper introduces a general method for diabatically constructing the transverse eigensystem of a reaction path Hamiltonian in systems with many degenerate transverse frequencies. The diabatically constructed reaction path Hamiltonian yields smoothly varying coupling constants that, in turn, facilitate reactive flux calculations. As an example we compute the dynamically corrected rate constant for the chair to boat interconversion of cyclohexane, a system with 48 degrees of freedom and a number of degenerate frequencies. The transmission coefficients obtained from the reactive flux simulations agree with previous results that have been calculated using an empirical potential. Furthermore, the calculated rate constants agree with experimental values. Comparison to variational transition state theory shows that, despite finding the true bottleneck along the reaction pathway, variational transition state theory only accounts for half of the rate constant reduction due to recrossing trajectories.

NO migration from N‐methyl‐N‐nitrosobenzene‐sulfonamide to 3,6‐dibromocarbazole: Concerted or stepwise reaction path?

The NO migration from N‐methyl‐N‐nitrosobenzene‐sulfonamide to 3,6‐dibromocarbazole was proposed in a recent literature to follow a stepwise reaction path. However, the present density functional theory calculations at the MP2/6–31G(d,p)//B3LYP/6–31G(d,p) level show that this reaction exclusively proceeds via a concerted mechanism involving a four‐membered ring transition state. The calculated barrier is in good agreement with the experimental finding. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007

Altered mechanisms of reactions of phosphate esters bridging a dinuclear metal center

Kinetic isotope effects in the nucleophile and leaving group were obtained for the reaction of p-nitrophenyl phosphate monoester coordinated to a dinuclear Co(III) complex. The metal complex of the p-nitrophenyl phosphate monoester was found to hydrolyze by a single-step concerted mechanism, with significant nucleophilic participation in the transition state. By contrast, the hydrolysis of uncomplexed p-nitrophenyl phosphate occurs by a very loose transition state with little bond formation to the nucleophile. Previously, the metal complex of the diester methyl-p-nitrophenyl phosphate was found to hydrolyze via a two-step addition-elimination mechanism, in contrast to the concerted hydrolysis mechanism followed by uncomplexed diesters with the p-nitrophenolate leaving group. These results show that coordination to a metal complex can significantly alter the mechanism of phosphoryl transfer.
