MCSCF-MRMP2 and DFT Exploratory Study on the Stability of Possible Intermediates in the Ru(H2O)6 + H2O2 Reaction: Importance of the Multiconfigurational Character in the Description of the Ru=O Moiety
نویسندگان
چکیده
MCSCF-MRMP2 and DFT calculations were performed in order to analyze the stability and geometrical parameters of some possible intermediates for the reactions Ru2+ + H2O2 and Ru(H2O)6 + H2O2. At MCSCF-MRMP2 level of calculation, the stability predicted for the RuO(H2O)5 suggests an energetic preference of the reaction Ru(H2O)6 + H2O2 toward the products involving this high-valence intermediate, in agreement with the commonly accepted mechanism for this kind of reactions. Due to its multiconfigurational character, the DFT approaches used in this work exhibited some limitations for properly describing the RuO(H2O)5 ion and therefore the energy gap between the possible investigated intermediates.

Water oxidation is a key half reaction in the energy conversion scheme. The reaction mechanism for the oxidation of H2O to O2 catalyzed by single-Ru-substituted polyoxometalates, [Ru(III)(H2O)XW11O39](n-) (X = Si(IV), Ge(IV)), was investigated by means of density functional calculations. The electronic structure of the pre-activation intermediates indicates that the aqua ligand is prone to acco...
متن کاملP-21: RF-Amide Related Peptide mRNA Expression in Male Rat Dorsomedial Hypothalamic Nucleus during Chronic Stress
Background Chronic stress induces male reproductive dysfunction; however, the involved mechanisms are not clear. It has been suggested that the gonadotrophin-inhibitory hormone, known as RF-amide related peptide (RFRP) in mammalian species, may mediate this inhibitory effect of stress. The objective of the present study was to compare the effect of chronic stress and glucocorticoids receptor an...
