Abstract: | External electric field(EEF) has shown its advantages in tuning chemical reaction as an efficient and feasible-to-control tool. In this paper, we explored the mechanisms of three EEF-regulated Diels-Alder reactions including two traditional-DA reactions to form two C-C single bonds and a hetero-DA reaction to form both a C-C and a C-O bond, respectively, and introduced an EEF contribution decomposition(ECD) model to understand how the EEF coupled with the intrinsic nuclear and electronic redistributions so as to affect chemical reaction. The ECD model, by decomposing the overall EEF effects into geometry re-equilibrium and static induction parts, can give a clear and quantitative picture of a physical quantity change upon EEF, as demonstrated on relative energies, activation barriers, charge distribution and dipole moments. The ECD analyses will shed light on the effective tuning of chemical reactions by the electric field. |
