Oxidative addition to main group versus transition metals: Insights from the Activation Strain model

    Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

    Abstract

    We have studied the oxidative addition of the methane C-H and chloromethane C-Cl bonds to a number of main group (Be, Mg and Ca) and transition metals (Pd, Zn and Cd), using relativistic density functional theory (DFT) at ZORA-BLYP/TZ2P. The purpose is to better understand what causes the characteristic differences in reactivity between main group and transition metals towards oxidative addition. Thus, we have analyzed our model reactions using the Activation Strain model in which the activation energy ΔE
