“…E a varies between 100.6 and 175.8 kJ/mol. The calculated energy values are comparable with previous DFT calculations for urea and urethane coupling reactions in the gas phase, confirming the validity of the current calculations of the reaction pathways. It is noted that the reported energies are electronic energies, not enthalpy ( H ) or Gibbs free energy ( G ).…”

Coupling between iso(thio)cyanates and amines, alcohols, and thiols to yield (thio)urea/urethane in the gas phase is important for the vacuum deposition processes of functional organic thin films such as molecular layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition. In this study, the kinetics and thermodynamics of 12 reactions between bifunctional reactants containing ANCO/ANCS and ANH 2 /AOH/ASH moieties were calculated using double-hybrid density functional theory to find systematic structure-reactivity relationships. The activation energy for the proton-transfer step was correlated with the basicity of the nucleophile/Brønsted acid reactants, while the exothermicity of the coupling reaction depends on whether the other functionality is ANCO or ANCS.Analysis of the transition states revealed that the location of the transition state is affected by the basicity of the reactants. Vibrational and electronic spectra of the product were obtained to help future experimental investigations.

The advantages of gas-phase deposition of polymeric thin films include precise control over thickness, conformality of coating over high-aspect-ratio structures, facile inclusion of functional moieties, and large scalability.
