Abstract

Cation-assisted interactions between N-containing heterocycles (NHCs) and CO2 have been systematically studied by using density functional theory (DFT). For neutral and anionic (non-carbenoid) NHCs, the effects of monovalent cations (i.e., alkali metal ions) are moderate to small (the NHC–CO2 binding energy change, ΔBE usually < 25 kJ mol−1). However, for NHC carbenes, due to their strong basicity, the effects are strong (ΔBE > 60 kJ mol−1) and the monovalent cations play a critical role in the single carboxylation of dicarbenes with CO2. In comparison, divalent alkali earth metal cations, due to both their smaller sizes and higher formal charges, exhibit a much stronger influence (ΔBE > 100 kJ mol−1). Divalent cations should be incorporated into next generation CO2 capture reagents. Other aspects including the reaction potential energy surface (PES), orbital-based analyses of interactions, substitution effects, and the reactivity descriptors (cation size, reacting N lone pair orbital energy, etc.) have been discussed in detail as well.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
