<p>Herein, we describe an efficient method to prepare polysubstituted pyrroles via a copper-hydride (CuH)-catalyzed enyne-nitrile coupling reaction. This protocol accommodates both aromatic and aliphatic substituents and a broad range of functional groups, providing a variety of N-H pyrroles in good yields and with high regioselectivity. We propose that the Cu-based catalyst promotes both the initial reductive coupling and subsequent cyclization steps. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism.</p>

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the structures of chloro silsesquioxanes Si2nO3nCl2n (n=1-5). Our study focuses on the structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of the chloro silsesquioxanes. The large HOMO–LUMO gaps, which range from 4.54 to 7.39 eV, imply optimal electronic structures for these molecules.

The combustion behavior of tackifying resins (such as glycerol ester of colophony/hydrogenated colophony and C9/hydrogenated C9 petroleum resin, namely GEC, GEHC, C9PR and HC9PR, respectively) were investigated using TG-FTIR and density functional theory (DFT) analyses. Results from combustion characteristics indicate tackifying resins and their wastes are a promising fuel for generating energy. The average activation energies obtained by Friedman method for GEC, GEHC, C9PR and HC9PR were 223.51, 162.16, 166.52 and 116.20 kJ/mol, respectively, revealing that (H)C9PR were more readily combustible than GE(H)C, and their hydrogenated products burned more easily than their unhydrogenated ones, which were strongly supported by the TG-FTIR results. DFT calculations also show that the bond dissociation energy of C-C bond of GEC is higher than those of C9PR and GEHC. The best appropriate reaction mechanism evaluated by integral master plots is f(α)=3(1-α)2/3. Volatiles are mainly composed of H2O, CH4, CO2, CO, alcohol, aromatic and carbonyl compounds.
