要旨

A series of density functional theory (DFT) experiments carried out on selected nickel(0)-catalysed diyne–cyclobutanone [4+2+2] cycloadditions provided quantitative confirmation of proposed multistep mechanisms, while clarifying the catalytic role of Ni in the reactions. Geometric and energetic results of the Ni-catalysed process were compared to the one-step non-catalysed complement. Results show the first oxidation to be the rate-determining step, with the intramolecular reaction being the preferred one of the two competing pathways. Ligand-identity is also shown to greatly influence reaction barriers, leading to large deviation in product yields, in direct agreement with experimental observations.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
