The denitrification mechanisms of piperidine, 2-methylpiperidine (2-MP), and 2,6-dimethylpiperidine (2,6-DMP) on MoP(001) were studied using self-consistent periodic density functional theory (DFT). These molecules located at Mo top site via the N atom and the molecular planes parallel with MoP surface. The energy barrier of the C–N bond cleavage o...

In nature, hydrogen bonding is a common physical occurrence that has a significant impact on the surroundings of anthocyanins. Water molecules will create hydrogen bonds with anthocyanin molecules in various configurations, but the characteristics of these hydrogen bonds will change. Varied hydrogen bonding characteristics have varied impacts on so...

The zeolite-catalyzed conversion of DME into chemicals is considered environmentally friendly in industry. The periodic density functional theory, statistical thermodynamics, and the transition state theory are used to study some possible parallel reactions about the hydrogen-bonded DME over zeolite ferrierite. The following are the key findings: (...

A theoretical study of the mechanism and regioselectivity of 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to 3‐methylene indolone has been performed by density functional theory at the M06‐2X/6‐311++G(d,p) level of theory. The results indicate that the concerted pathway is more favorable than the stepwise pathway. Investigation of the regioselectivi...

In this work the mechanism of L‐lactide polymerization promoted by NSSN zirconium complexes was investigated through DFT methods with the aim to understand as the electronic and steric features of the ligand affect the energy reaction. It was observed that the rate determining step of the process is the opening of the L‐lactide ring and that by inc...

This reaction is endothermic by 20.7 kcal/mol and involves a high energy barrier of 47.1 kcal/mol. 44 In the following step, piperidinium represents the IS8 and the C-N bond in TS8 rupturing revealed by stretching C 2 -N bond length by 2.5 Å, producing C 5 H 10 NH 2 (FS8). This reaction comprises an energy barrier of 23.4 kcal/mol and an exothermic reaction energy of 45.2 kcal/mol. ...

Increasing demands on producing environmentally friendly products are becoming a driving force for designing highly active catalysts. Thus, surfaces that efficiently catalyse the nitrogen reduction reactions are greatly sought in moderating air-pollutant emissions. This contribution aims to computationally investigate the hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) networks of pyridine over the γ-Mo2N(111) surface using a density functional theory (DFT) approach. Various adsorption configurations have been considered for the molecularly adsorbed pyridine. Findings indicate that pyridine can be adsorbed via side-on and end-on modes in six geometries in which one adsorption site is revealed to have the lowest adsorption energy (–45.3 kcal/mol). Over a nitrogen hollow site adsorption site, initial HDN steps proceed by the stepwise hydrogenation of pyridine into piperidine followed by the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism. The obtained findings are the first to theoretically model the hydrogenation pathways of pyridine to form piperidine and then the hydrogenolysis of piperidine producing C5H12 and NH3 over metal nitride. These paved the way for further investigations to better understanding such an important nitrogen removal reactions.
