摘要
The reaction of Os (D-6, F-4) with N2O has been investigated at B3LYP/TZVP and CCSD(T)/6-311 G* levels of theory. The mechanisms corresponding to O-atom and N-atom transfer reactions have been revealed. It was found that on the sextet reaction surface both the O-atom and N-atom transfer reactions undergo through direct-abstraction mechanism, leading to the formation of OsO and OsN , whereas on quartet surface the two reactions undergo through O-N bond or N-N bond insertion mechanism. The calculated energetics shows that the reactions on the sextet surface have notable energy barriers, whereas the reactions on quartet surface are barrierless.
