采用密度泛函理论(DFT)对钌掺杂的铂团簇阳离子([PtnR m]^+,m+n=3,n≥1)活化甲醇C―H和O―H键反应进行了理论研究;探讨了电荷对[PtnRu m]团簇反应活性的影响。电荷分析表明:(1)[Pt3]^+团簇中正电荷在三个Pt原子上均匀分布;掺杂Ru原子后,正电荷主要分布在Ru原子上;(2)首先活化C―H键时[[PtnR m]^+的反应活性比[PtnRum]明显提高;首先活化O―H键时只有[Pt3]^+比[Pt3]团簇的反应活性有明显提高。本研究可为金属团簇调控的C―H键和O―H键的活化提供更深入的理解。
Density functional theory(DFT) calculations were performed to gain mechanistic insight into the methanol C―H and O―H bond activations mediated by ruthenium-doped platinum cationic clusters [PtnRum]^+(m + n = 3, n ≥ 1). The charge effect on the reactivity has been elucidated. Calculations show that positive charge is evenly distributed on the three Pt atoms of the [Pt3]^+cluster, while in the Ru-doped clusters, positive charge is mainly distributed on the Ru atom(s). The reactivity of [Pt n Ru m]+is significantly greater than neutral[PtnRum] during the initial C―H bond cleavage, while only [Pt3]^+exhibits greater reactivity than [Pt3]^+ in the course of O―H bond cleavage. This study may aid in deeper understanding of C―H/O―H bond activations mediated by metal clusters.
