The mechanisms of the single-atom X/g-C3N4(X = Au1, Pd1, and Ru1) catalysts for the acetylene hydrochlorination reaction were systematically investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method. The density functional dispersion correction obtained by the DFT-D3 method was taken into account. During the reaction, C2H2 and HCl were well activated and the analysis of the adsorption energy demonstrated the adsorption performance of C2H2 is better than that of HCl. The catalytic mechanisms of the three catalysts consist of one intermediate and two transition states. Moreover, our results showed that the three single-atom catalysts improve the catalytic activity of the reaction to different degrees. The calculated energy barrier declines in the order of Pd1/g-C3N4 > Ru1/g-C3N4 > Au1/g-C3N4, and the energy barrier for the Au1/g-C3N4 catalyst was only 13.66 kcal/mol, proving that single-atom Au1/g-C3N4 may be a potential catalyst for hydrochlorination of acetylene to vinyl chloride.

The Density Functional Theory

The dissociation and isomerization reactions of N 11 isomers, including the two structures 1 and 3 previously studied as well as the three new structures 2, 4, and 5, were investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d), B3LYP/6-311G(d), and B3LYP/6-311+G(3df)//B3LYP/6-311G(d) levels of theory. The results indicate that, similar to previous results on N 9 and N 10 isomers, the barrier heights for structures 1 and 2 to lose N 2 are about 10–15 kcal/mol whereas the barrier heights for structures 1–3 to lose N 3 are about 25–30 kcal/mol. Therefore, it seems that N 2 is easier to be eliminated than is N 3 from the relatively larger nitrogen isomers. In addition, for structures 1 and 3, both dissociation and isomerization can occur in the N8–N9 bond, due partly to its character in having an aromatic bond. Moreover, the isomerization is preferred compared with dissociation because of its relatively lower energy barrier height.

Abstract A novel approach to the synthesis of 2-cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole via the Cu-catalyzed cyanation of 2-iodo-6-methoxybenzothiazole was developed. K4[Fe(CN)6] was used as a source of cyanide, and a Cu/N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) system was utilized as a catalyst. This approach is scalable and can be practiced with operational benign. The most stable conformation of 2-cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole was delineated using the density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d, p) basis set.

The mechanisms of selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene on B 11 N 12 Pd single-atom catalyst were investigated through the density functional theory by using the 6-31++G** basis set. We studied the adsorption characteristics of H 2 and C 2 H 2 , and simulated the reaction mechanism. We discovered that H 2 underwent absolute dissociative chemisorption on single-atom Pd, forming the B 11 N 12 Pd(2H) dihydride complex, and then the hydrogenation reaction with C 2 H 2 proceeded. The hydrogenation reaction of acetylene on the B 11 N 12 Pd complex complies with the Horiuti–Polanyi mechanism, and the energy barrier was as low as 26.55 kcal mol −1 . Meanwhile, it also has a higher selectivity than many bimetallic alloy single-atom catalysts.
