The dehydrogenation reaction mechanism of cyclohexane catalyzed by dimer transition metal cluster V
2 + has been investigated at the B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level of density functional theory. Density of states (DOS) graph is used to understand more deeply the roles of the front molecular orbital of the initial complexes. After the first molecular dehydrogenation, the reaction mainly consists of two competition mechanisms. First, the C-H bonds of cyclohexane can be effectively activated by the V2 + cation, yielding the same-face dehydrogenation products. Second, the C-C bonds are activated, forming the different-face dehydrogenation products. Our calculations indicate that the reaction takes place more easily along the low-spin potential energy surface on the same-face and is a low-barrier or even barrier-free transformation. Carbon-carbon single bonds are nonpolar and generally far less reactive. A comparison of the reaction mechanism of V2 + and congener Ti2 + with cyclohexane has been presented. The bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of V2 + are greater than that of Ti2 + , leading to difficulties in forming sandwich complexes in the different-face dehydrogenation of cyclohexane, and the same-face dehydrogenation is an important reaction channel.

The first thorough theoretical mechanism analysis of heteronuclear bimetallic cation NiAl + with cyclohexane has been investigated on singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces (PESs) by using density functional theory. Our calculated results show that NiAl + can assist in the decomposition of cyclohexane to form benzene through two types of reaction channel: C H bond activation and H 2 formation; C C bond activation and HD formation. The most important conclusion is that NiAl + exhibits high efficiency and also high regioselectivity for C H bond oxidation. However, the high zero-point vibrational energy (ZPVE) value for the cleavage of inert C C bond is also the origin of its failure to form HD. In the process of the first C H and C C bond activations, crossing points (CPs) have been appeared between the two adiabatic surfaces, respectively. The minimum energy crossing points (MECPs) are gotten using the algorithmin Harvey method. Density of states (DOS) is used to obtain a deeper understanding for the roles of the front molecular orbital of the initial complexes. The bonding properties of the special intermediates involved in the process of C C bond activations are discussed by the IR spectrum methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Highlights: [•] We studied the gas-phase activation of methane by (n =1−3). [•] There is only one crossing point (CP) and minimum energy crossing point (MECP) on the three system, respectively. [•] The active center in the reaction of with methane include only one metal atom. [•] The product of with methane is hydrogen-bridge bond molecule. [•] For (n =1−3) with the increase of the metal atoms, the activation of methane C–H bonds rise sharply. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Ab initio calculations of the two title reactions have been made to compare reactivities of OCS and CS
2 toward a nucleophile, . MP2/6-311++G(d, p) geometry optimizations on the singlet potential energy surface have demonstrated that respective channels start from key intermediates and have revealed that multistep paths give the most favorable products: (1) +OCS→H2 NS− +CO; (2) +OCS→HS− +HNCO; (3) +OCS→NCS− +H2 O; (4) +OCS→NCO− +H2 S; (5) +CS2 →NCS− +H2 S; (6) +CS2 →HS− +HNCS. Furthermore, to get more reliable energetic data, single-point calculations are carried out at CCSD/6-311++G(d, p) level. The calculated result is consistent with the measured large rate constant in experiment. A comparison of reaction mechanisms is offered between +OCS and +CS2 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Abstract: A theoretical investigation at DFT (B3LYP) level on the cyclopropanation reactions catalyzed by nickel(0) and nickel(II) have been extensively investigated. The computation results show that the active catalytic species formed by a CH2 fragment and the Cl2Ni(PH3)2 is carbenoids (PH3)2Ni(CH2Cl)Cl (IMA) and (PH3)Ni(CH2PH3)Cl2 (IMB), but both the carbenes (Cl2NiCH2 (IMC), (PH3)3NiCH2 (IME) and (PH3)2NiCH2 (IMG)) and carbenoids (ClNiCH2Cl (IMD), Ni(CH2PH3)(PH3)2 (IMF) and Ni(CH2PH3)PH3 (IMH)) are active catalytic species obtained from NiCl2, Ni(PH3)3, Ni(PH3)2 and a CH2 fragment. The cyclopropanation reaction proceeds through either concerted or multistep reaction pathway. The most favor cyclopropanation reactions catalyzed by nickel(II) is multistep pathway for IMD with a barrier of 21.65kcalmol−1 but is endothermic 6.74kcalmol−1, and the most favor nickel(0) catalyzed cyclopropanation reactions is also multistep pathway for IME, IMH and IMG species all with barriers of 21.93kcalmol−1 but the downhill potential energy surface discloses that each step of the cyclopropanation reaction are all irreversible. Thus, nickel(0) catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction proceed easer than nickel(II). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The mechanism for the ion–molecule reaction of benzene anion with nitrous oxide has been characterized using the second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). All the stationary points were determined at the MP2/6-31++G(d,p) level of the theory. As a result, our theoretical investigations strongly suggest that the main pathways on the potential energy surface can be pathways 1 and 2 of the Channel 1 which are two reciprocally competitive pathways, the minor ones can be expressed as pathway (Channel 1) 3 and Channel 2, and Channel 3 should be a competitive reactive pathway relative to the main reactive pathways. Theoretical calculated results are basically consistent with the experimental postulate. Furthermore, some specific character of the reaction of with N2O has been educed by the mechanism study.

Abstract: The gas-phase reactions of fluorocarbon compounds CH4– n F n (n =1–3) with Pt (3D, 1S) have been systematically explored via density functional theory (DFT) in order to investigate the mechanisms of these reactions. The results indicate that a reaction of CH3F with Pt (3D, 1S) experiences a rearrangement process to generate counterintuitive production (CH2F−PtH). CH2F2 and CHF3 activation by Pt (3D, 1S) yields high-oxidation-state complexes with carbon–metal double bonds. Moreover, the attack of platinum atoms on fluorine atoms in different fluorocarbon compounds involves intersystem crossing (ISC) between triplet and singlet state Potential Energy Surfaces (PESs). The crossing points (CPs) have been located by the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) approach used by Yoshizawa et al. and corresponding minimum energy crossing points (MECPs) obtained by the mathematical algorithm proposed by Harvey et al. have also been used. Additionally, possible spin inversion processes are discussed using spin–orbit coupling (SOC) calculations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Activation of the N–N and N–O bonds by La+ in nitrous oxide has been examined systematically using both DFT and CCSD(T) methods. The calculated results indicate that the reaction of La+ (3F, 1D) with N2O (X 1∑) including several reaction pathways and numerous isomers, leads to oxidation, LaO+ (1∑, 3Δ)+N2 () or nitration, LaN+ (2∑+, 4∑+)+NO (X 1∏). The attack of the La+ on the O-end of N2O involves intersystem crossing (ISC) between singlet and triplet state potential-energy surfaces (PESs). Thus, possible spin-inversion process is discussed by means of spin–orbit coupling (SOC) calculations. The probability values of the single () and double () passes are estimated at MECP are approximately 6.682×10−2 and 0.125, respectively. The calculated results also revealed that the O-transfer reaction is energetically more favorable than the N-transfer reaction on the both spin state PESs. These results are in good agreement with experimental observations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: A systematic theoretical study of the reaction NO2(2A1)+CO(1∑+)→NO(2∏)+CO2(1∑g +) catalyzed by Ti+ has been investigated by means of UB3LYP/6-311+G(2d) level. Our calculated results sharply reveal that both NO2(2A1)+Ti+(X4F)→NO(2∏)+TiO+(X2Δ) and TiO+(X2Δ)+CO(1∑+)→Ti+(X4F) + CO2(1∑g +) are spin-forbidden reactions. The minimum-energy crossing points (MECPs) that are involved have been characterized at the same level and the possible spin inversion processes are discussed using the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) approach.

Abstract: The reactivity of X(3P) (X=Ge, Sn, Pb) with N2O(X1Σ) on both singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces have been investigated at the B3LYP level of theory. To accurately evaluate the activation barrier and reaction energy, the coupled cluster single point calculations using the B3LYP structures is performed. The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental observations. The (X=Ge, Sn, and Pb) reactions that Arthur Fontijn has been observed are spin-forbidden for formation of ground state products in the experiments. The present paper is discussed with the aid of the direct abstraction (DA) mechanism (also called the surface crossing model), a correlation argument based on separated fragments X+O+N2 can explain the inefficiency of the (X=Ge, Sn, and Pb) reactions at 298K by the need to switch electron configurations along low-energy adiabatic paths from ground-state reactants to energetically accessible product states.
