摘要

A special and controversial Cr/NNN ethylene oligomerization system delivering oligomers in a Schulz–Flory distribution, which was suggested to follow a metallacycle mechanism, has been systematically investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) methods. Both Cossee–Arlman and metallacycle mechanisms have been considered. DFT calculation results demonstrated that Cossee-type chain propagation operates in this case while the metallacyclic chain growth is less likely to occur. A larger kinetic isotope effect (KIE) on the β-H elimination was found to hinder the transfer of deuterium atoms to the metal centre. As such, abundant even-numbered isotopomers were observed in the GC-MS spectrum while odd-numbered products only occupied a small portion. The presence of the KIE has a significant effect on the distribution of isotopomers. The Cossee–Arlman catalytic cycle with a strong KIE may lead to unnoticeable H/D scrambling and for this reason the analysis of isotopic product peaks in C2H4/C2D4 co-oligomerization should be taken with good care.

Catalysis Science & Technology is committed to publishing research reporting high-quality, cutting-edge developments across the catalysis community at large. The journal places equal focus on publications from the heterogeneous, homogeneous, thermo-, electro-, photo-, organo- and biocatalysis communities. Works published in the journal feature a balanced mix of fundamental, technology-oriented, experimental, computational, digital and data-driven original research, thus appealing to catalysis practitioners in both academic and industrial environments. Original research articles published in the journal must demonstrate new catalytic discoveries and/or methodological advances that represent a significant advance on previously published work, from the molecular to the process scales. We welcome rigorous research in a wide range of timely or emerging applications related to the environment, health, energy and materials. Catalysis Science & Technology publishes Communications, Articles, Reviews and Perspectives. More details regarding manuscript types may be found in the Information for Authors section.
