Abstract: | We developed a new reaction simulator, "LUMMOX." It is an intermolecular interaction analyzer based on the theories of paired interacting orbitals (PIOs) and localized frontier orbitals (LFOs) that have been developed by Fujimoto et al. (Fukui, K.; Koga, N.; Fujimoto, H. J Am Chem Soc 1981, 103, 196; Fujimoto, H.; Koga, N.; Fukui, K. J Am Chem Soc 1981, 103, 7452; Fujimoto, H.; Satoh, S. J Phys Chem 1994, 98, 1436). LUMMOX runs on a Windows PC and displays graphic representation of orbital interactions. Prediction of activities, selectivities, and molecular weight of olefin polymerization catalysts are presented using PIO analysis and LFO calculation. Not only computational chemists but also experimental chemists can easily use this new system for catalyst design or molecular design from the point of view of orbital interaction. |
