摘要：
Computational chemistry, particularly quantum mechanics methods, has become an important tool for us to understand many chemical reactions and physical properties.[1] Effect of quantum mechanics was sometimes found to induce considerable kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in some chemical reactions.[2] In this talk, I will present our proposed first excited-state carbon tunnelling in photo-induced triplet Zimmerman di-p-methane rearrangement of polycyclic molecules,[3c] which significantly enhances its 12C/13C KIE (using M06-2X, DLPNO-CCSD(T) methods and variational transition-state theory with multidimensional tunneling corrections). Also, I will show an unexpectedly small secondary H/D KIE for Fe(III)-catalyzed hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction in our combined DFT and experimental mechanistic study, even the significant bond forming involved in the transition state.[4] In addition, pronounced iron effect in quasi-classical dynamics of HDA will be discussed. Driven by the principles of economy and sustainability, earth-abundant transition-metal catalysts have been attracting the attention of many chemists. However, reaction mechanisms for first-row transition-metal catalysis are much more challenging, due to the complex and multiple electronic structures involved. I will present some of our recent mechanistic studies:[5] such as Cu(I)-catalyzed reductive CO2 coupling reaction for the oxalate formation via a mixed-valence state,[5a] Co(-I)-catalyzed hydrogenation reaction.[4]
