Cycloaddition Reactions of 1,3-Cyclohexadiene on the Silicon(001) Surface

چکیده
2+2] and [4+2] cycloaddition reactions of 1,3-cyclohexadiene on the Si(001) surface were studied. It is shown that not only the [4+2] cycloaddition reaction but also the [2+2] cycloadditions can occur on the Si(001) surface. Surface isomerization reactions connecting [4+2] and [2+2] are very unlikely due to a high energy barrier, implying that the surface reactions are kinetically controlled. Therefore the final surface reaction products are determined during the initial stage of the reactions in contrast with earlier assumptions that the “product distribution is thermodynamically determined”. Our interpretations are consistent with the new experimental results by the Hamers group. According to our CASSCF(6,6) calculations, the nonsymmetric π-complex transition states along the [2+2] cycloaddition mechanism, which has been suggested by many theoretical studies, seem to be an artifact. Nevertheless, the very soft Si dimer buckling motion of the Si(001) surface certainly facilitates the [2+2] reaction.

Reaction of an Iron(IV) Nitrido Complex with Cyclohexadienes: Cycloaddition and Hydrogen-Atom Abstraction
The iron(IV) nitrido complex PhB(MesIm)3Fe≡N reacts with 1,3-cyclohexadiene to yield the iron(II) pyrrolide complex PhB(MesIm)3Fe(η(5)-C4H4N) in high yield. The mechanism of product formation is proposed to involve sequential [4 + 1] cycloaddition and retro Diels-Alder reactions. Surprisingly, reaction with 1,4-cyclohexadiene yields the same iron-containing product, albeit in substantially lowe...
متن کاملComputational study of cycloaddition reactions on the SiC ( 1 0 0 ) - c ( 2 · 2 ) surface
Cycloaddition reactions between 1,3-butadiene and the C-terminated SiC(1 0 0)-c(2 · 2) surface have been addressed using quantum-chemical methods. The c(2 · 2) structure consists of ACBCA bridges between underlayer Si atoms which themselves form SiASi bonds. Of various possible reaction products, the one formed by a [2+ 4] reaction with the ACBCA bridge (giving a species resembling 1,4-cyclohex...
