Inspired by the recent experimental reports on boron containing compounds to be active and biomimetic for carbon capture, we report the mechanistic details of CO2 hydration activities of boronic acids using density functional theory calculations. Four boronic acids were analyzed, viz., [3-methyl-6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl]boronic acid, 3-aminophenylboronic acid, 2,6-dibromophenylboronic acid and 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid. Free energy landscapes were developed for the hydration reaction. 2,6-Dibromophenylboronic acid showed the highest turnover frequency. Computational NMR and FTIR spectra for various intermediates of the reaction were analyzed and compared with experimental spectra. The energetics as well as the spectral analyses confirmed the biomimetic mechanism for CO2 hydration over all the boronic acid catalysts under investigation.

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.
