The Dynamics of the Reaction of FeO+ and H2: A Model for Inorganic Oxidation

Abstract: Extensive Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations using the B3LYP functional are used to explore the sextet and quartet energy potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the title reaction, and as a basis to fit global analytical reactive PESs. Surface-hopping dynamics on these PESs reproduces experimentally observed reactivity and confirms that hydrogen activation rather than spinstate change is rate-limiting at low reaction energy, where the main products are Fe + + H2O. Spin-state change in the product region… Show more

“…This interplay between sextet and quartet surfaces has been observed in reactions of FeO + with both H 2 and CH 4 . ,, Interestingly, in both cases it was determined that the initial crossing behaves adiabatically, having little kinetic effect. The second crossing was found to have both adiabatic (spin-crossing) and diabatic (spin-conserving) components leading to production of both ground and excited state products. , In the present experiments at thermal energies, any diabatic component is significantly hindered energetically and thus likely to lower reaction efficiency as the complex dissociates back to reactants. Armentrout has observed an increase in diabatic behavior with increased translational energy for several systems. , If that were the case here, the increased reactivity with increasing energy would be mitigated by the increased diabaticity of the spin crossings, manifesting as apparent activation energies smaller than expected from Arrhenius behavior with a known endothermic barrier, such as observed here.…”

“…One such mechanism pervasive in many transition metal mediated reactions, including the title reaction, is the role of multiple spin states in enhancing reactivity . Numerous transition metal mediated reactions have been shown to be facilitated by the reaction complex changing spin state along the reaction coordinate, as evidenced by the observation of spin-forbidden products, or by the circumvention of inhibitive barriers at thermal energies. Quantitative evaluation of this spin crossing is daunting, as it requires significant calculation of the multidimensional potential surface in the vicinity of the crossing. Qualitative assessments, typically based on spin–orbit coupling ⟨SOC⟩, have been shown to be at times misleading . The reaction of NiO + + CH 4 offers a system with which to probe spin crossing, as the spin allowed reaction is not accessible at thermal energies.…”
