A Direct DFT Trajectory Study of the Bis-superoxo FAl(O2)2 Ionization
نویسنده
چکیده
Direct density functional theory (DFT) classical trajectory calculations show that after bissuperoxo FAl(O2)2 ionization, one of the side-on dioxygen units undergoes a fast intramolecular rearrangement generating a stable radical cation which presents both a peroxo and a peroxyl group bound to the central Al atom, FAl(O2)OO·+. Molecular properties of this predicted novel species have been estimated at the B3PW91/6-311+G(3df) and G3B3 levels of theory.

Mononuclear nickel(II)-superoxo and nickel(III)-peroxo complexes bearing a common macrocyclic TMC ligand.
Mononuclear metal-dioxygen adducts, such as metal-superoxo and -peroxo species, are generated as key intermediates in the catalytic cycles of dioxygen activation by heme and non-heme metalloenzymes. We have shown recently that the geometric and electronic structure of the Ni-O2 core in [Ni(n-TMC)(O2)]+ (n = 12 and 14) varies depending on the ring size of the supporting TMC ligand. In this study...

We present a systematic study using density functional theory (DFT) and coupled cluster (CCSD(T)) computations with an aim of characterizing a non-heme ferric-superoxo complex [(TMC)Fe(O2)](2+) (TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) that was proposed to perform allylic C-H activation of cyclohexene (Lee, Y.-M. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.2010, 132, 10668). As such, we invest...
متن کاملNonheme iron-oxo and -superoxo reactivities: O2 binding and spin inversion probability matter.
DFT calculated barriers for C-H activation of 1,4-cyclohexadiene by nonheme iron(IV)-oxo and iron(III)-superoxo species show that the experimental trends can be explained if the spin inversion probability of the TMC iron(IV)-oxo is assumed to be poor. Also, the TMC iron(III)-superoxo reaction proceeds with an endothermic O(2)-binding energy followed by an intrinsically reactive quintet state.

Metal–oxygen adducts (Mx Ox, x=1 or 2), such as metal– superoxo, –peroxo, and –oxo species, are key intermediates often detected in the catalytic cycles of dioxygen activation by metalloenzymes. In biomimetic and synthetic chemistry, numerous Mx Ox complexes have been prepared and characterized with various physicochemical methods as structural and functional models of enzymes. Among the Mx O2 ...

Density functional theory dispersion corrected (DFT-D3)calculations and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation were applied to investigate the sensing ability of four types of receptors (RCs) composed of the ortho-phenylenediamine based bis-ureas for selective complexation with the anions such as Cl–, Br–, OAC–, PhCO2–, H2PO4– and HSO4– in the gas phase and DMSO. On the basis of the data obtained fr...
