We have used spin polarized density functional theory calculations to perform extensive mechanistic studies of CO2 dissociation into CO and O on the clean Fe(100), (110) and (111) surfaces and on the same surfaces coated by a monolayer of nickel.

The mechanistic study on the insertion of ethylene into the Zr – H bond of Cp2 ZrH 2 to give Cp 2 Zr ( H )( CH 2 CH 3) is performed with the aid of density functional theory calculations. Two possible insertion pathways are proposed. One is the side-insertion and the other is the central-insertion. The rate-determining step is the ethylene insertion in the former path and formation of the adduct in the latter path. Our results of calculations predicted that the central-insertion path is preferred kinetically over the side-insertion path. Two types of Zr ⋯ H – C agostic interactions having different stabilities are described.

The mechanism of the permanganate oxidation of 1,5-dienes was investigated by density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/6-311+G*). The experimentally observed (unexpected) products, 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl) tetrahydrofurans, are formed in a concerted reaction, which explains the observed stereoselectivity of the reaction. Water plays an important role in the reaction mechanism by significantly lowering the activation energies.
