摘要:
The chemical inertness of C(sp(3))-H bonds has made their functionalization difficult, especially with earth-abundant 3d metals. The mechanism of C-H activation with the Co(III) complex Cp*(PMe3)Co-(CH3)(OTf) was studied by DFT at the M06/6-31+G(d) level of theory and was determined to be in very good agreement with experimental data. The Co(III) complex can activate the C-H bond of methane through an oxidative hydrogen migration mechanism with an activation free energy of 32.4 kcal/mol in CH2Cl2. Although C2H6 and c-C6H12 have weaker C-H bonds than CH4, their C-H activation barriers were greater at 34.9 and 45.9 kcal/mol, respectively. The C(sp(3))-H and C(sp(2))-H activation of this Co(III) complex is primarily driven by the sterics (-E'(s)) of the substrates and supporting ligands and not the strength of the C-H bond.
