<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>

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.

The mechanistic study on the oxidation of 2-propanol by the model complex CpIr [κ2-(N,C)-( NHCMe2–2-C6H4)] (R) is performed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It is found that the rate-determining step is the hydrogen migration from 2-propanol to R via a six-membered transition state. The reaction is calculated to be favorable thermodynamically. To further understand the reaction mechanism, some bonding features are discussed, such as the correlation of the geometry of R and the Ir–N π bond involved, the transformation of the nitrogen hybridization, the variation of Ir–N bond distance, and so on.

The study focuses on Fe2O3 oxygen carrier for CO oxidation in chemical-looping combustion (CLC) system. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to detect the performance of Fe2O3 during CLC of CO. Reaction mechanism between CO and Fe2O3 was explored in details, which demonstrates that Fe2O3 with more low-fold O atoms on the surface could promote the activity of the Fe-based oxygen carrier in CLC system.
