The reaction mechanism between phosphacyclopropenylidene and ethylene has been systematically investigated at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory in order to better understand the reactivity of unsaturated cyclic phosphorus-bearing carbene. Geometry optimizations and vibrational analyses have been performed for the stationary points on the potential energy surface of the system. Calculations show that the spiro bicyclic intermediate could be produced through the cycloaddition process between phosphacyclopropenylidene and ethylene initially. The reaction mechanism is illustrated with the frontier molecular orbital theory. Introduction of electron-withdrawing group in phosphacyclopropenylidene will better facilitate the addition process. Through subsequent ring-expanding and hydrogen-migrating process, fuse-ring and allene compounds could be produced, respectively. Furthermore, it?s easy for spiro bicyclic intermediate and another ethylene to form a spiro tricyclic compound. This study is helps to understand the reactivity of phosphacyclopropenylidene, the evolution of phosphorus-bearing molecules in space, and to offer an alternative approach to the formation of phosphorus-bearing heterocyclic compound.

The reaction mechanism between silacyclopropenylidene and three-membered heterocyclic compounds (azirane and oxirane) has been systematically investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G* level of theory in order to better understand the reactivity of unsaturated cyclic silylene. Geometry optimizations and vibrational analyses have been conducted for the stationary points on the potential energy surface of the system. Calculations show that the Si-spiroheterocyclic intermediate and four-membered heterocyclic silylene compound could be produced through the insertion process and subsequent dissociation process between silacyclopropenylidene and three-membered heterocyclic compounds. For the insertion process, it is easier for silacyclopropenylidene to insert into C-N bond of azirane than into C-O bond of oxirane. This study is helpful to understand the reactivity of silacyclopropenylidene, the evolution of silicon-bearing molecules in space, and to offer an alternative approach to the formation of enlarged heterocyclic silylene compound.

The complex potential energy surface for the self-reaction of CH 2 ClO 2 radicals, including 12 intermediates, 33 interconversion transition states, and 21 major dissociation products, was theoretically probed at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-311G(2d,2p) level of theory. The geometries and relative energies for various stationary points were determined. Based on the calculated CCSD(T)/cc-pVDZ potential energy surface, the possible mechanism for the studied system was proposed. It is shown that the most feasible channels are those leading to 22 CH 2 ClO + 3 O 2, 2 CH 2 ClO + 2 HO 2 + CHClO , 2 CH 2 ClO + HCl + 2 CH(O)O 2, 2 CH 2 ClO + 3 O 2 + 2 Cl + CH 2 O , and p,s,o- CH 2 ClOOOCl + CH 2 O with the energy barriers of 5.6, 11.8, 12.4, 12.4, and 13.5 kcal/mol, respectively. Their mechanisms are that CH 2 ClO 2 and CH 2 ClO 2 form a tetroxide intermediate first, then the intermediate dissociates to yield the productions or through multi-steps reactions to produce the final products.

AbstractA theoretical study regarding the evaluation of the antioxidant character of three of the most wide-spread anthocyanidins (cyanidin, delphinidin and malvidin) was carried out at ab initio level. Different parameters (bond dissociation enthalpy, ionization potential, proton affinity, and electron transfer enthalpy) were computed for each OH group of the compounds in order to predict their antioxidant capacity. Several molecular descriptors based on frontier molecular orbital theory (hardness, electrophilicity, frontier charge density) were also calculated, as well as the atomic charges corresponding to the O atoms of the hydroxyl groups.

The detailed singlet potential energy surface (PES) of the reaction of Ni ( d 10 1 S ) + H 2 + CO 2→ NiCO + H2O is investigated at the CCSD(T) /6-311+ G(2d,2p) // B3LYP /6-311+ G(2d,2p) levels in order to explore possible reaction mechanism of CO 2 hydrogenation on Ni center. The calculation predicts that the co-interacted H 2 involved C–O bond cleavage of CO 2 molecule is prior to the dissociation of adsorbed H 2 molecule, and the entire reaction is exothermic by 297.3 kJ/mol with an energy barrier of 137.7 kJ/mol. The rate-determining step (RDS) for the overall reaction is predicted to be the insertion of Ni into the C–O bond of the CO 2 moiety.

The mechanism of the reaction of the monobromocarbene (1CHBr) with3O2was studied theoretically at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level on the singlet potential energy surface (PES). All structures of the stationary points (reactants, intermediates, transition states and products) were optimized and their energies were obtained. Three product channels, P1(HCO + BrO), P2(CO2+ HBr) and P3(CO + HOBr), are found. P2(CO2+ HBr) is the most favorable one both kinetically and thermodynamically.

Theoretical study of the stereo-dynamics of the reaction, H + HeH+ (v = 0,  j = 0) → H 2+  + He, have been performed with quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method at different collision energies on a new ab initio potential energy surface. The distributions of P(θr), P(ϕr) and four generalized polarization-dependent differential cross-sections have been calculated. The results indicate that both the orientation and alignment of the rotational angular momentum are impacted by collision energies. With the collision energy increases, the rotation of the product molecule has a preference of changing from the “in-plane” reaction mechanism to the “out-of-plane” mechanism. Although the reaction is mainly dominated by the direct reaction mechanism, the indirect mechanism plays a role while the collision energy is very low.
