摘要
The theoretical study of the dehydrogenation of 2,5-dihydro-[furan (1), thiophene (2), and selenophene (3)] was carried out using ab initio molecular orbital (MO) and density functional theory (DFT) methods at the B3LYP/6-311G**//B3LYP/6-311G** and MP2/6-311G**//B3LYP/6-311G** levels of theory. Among the used methods in this study, the obtained results show that B3LYP/6-311G** method is in good agreement with the available experimental values. Based on the optimized ground state geometries using B3LYP/6-311G** method, the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of donor-acceptor (bond-antibond) interactions revealed that the stabilization energies associated with the electronic delocalization from non-bonding lone-pair orbitals [LP(e)x3] to C*C(1)- H(2) antibonding orbital, decrease from compounds 1 to 3. The LP(e)x3→σ*c(1)-H(2) resonance energies for compounds 1--3 are 23.37, 16.05 and 12.46 kJ/mol, respectively. Also, the LP(e)xa→σ*c(1)-H(2) delocalizations could fairly explain the decrease of occupancies of LP(e)x3 non-bonding orbitals in ring of compounds 1-3 (3 〉2 〉 1). The electronic delocalization from LP(e)x3 non-bonding orbitals to σ*c(1)-G(2) antibonding orbital increases the ground state structure stability, Therefore, the decrease of LP(e)x3→σ*c(1)-H(2) delocalizations could fairly explain the kinetic of the dehydrogenation reactions of compounds 1-3 (kl〉k2〉k3). Also, the donor-acceptor interactions, as obtained from NBO analysis, revealed that the πc(4)=c(7)→σ*c(1)-H(2) resonance energies decrease from compounds 1 to 3. Further, the results showed that the energy gaps between πC(4)-C(7) bonding and σ*c(1)-H(2) antibonding orbitals decrease from compounds 1 to 3. The results suggest also that in compounds 1--3, the hydrogen elimi- nations are controlled by LP(e)→σ* resonance energies. Analysis of bond order, natural bond orbital charges, bond indexes, synchronicity parameters, and IRC calculations indicate that these reactions are occurring through a con- certed and synchronous six-membered cyclic transition state type of mechanism.
