Density Functional Theory Study on the Mechanism of Nickel-Catalyzed 3,3-Dialkynylation of 2‑Aryl Acrylamides Via Double Vinylic C–H Bond Activation
The
mechanisms of Ni-catalyzed 3,3-dialkynylation of 2-aryl acrylamide
have been investigated by using density functional theory calculations.
The result shows that this reaction includes double alkynylation,
which involves sequential key steps of vinylic C–H bond activation,
successive oxidative addition, and reductive elimination, with the
second C–H bond activation being the rate-determining step.
C–H and N–H bond activation occurs via the concerted
metalation-deprotonation mechanism. The calculations show that no
transition state exists in the first reductive elimination process,
and a negative free energy barrier in the second reductive elimination
process though a transition state is identified, indicating that the
nickel-catalyzed vinylic C(sp2)–C(sp) bond formation
does not require activation energy. Z–E isomerization
is the prerequisite for the second alkynylation. In addition, our
spin-flip TDDFT (SF-TDDFT) computational result discloses that the
actual process of Z–E isomerization
occurs on the potential energy surface of the first excited singlet
state S1
Flexible Polydimethylsilane Nanocomposites Enhanced with a Three-Dimensional Graphene/Carbon Nanotube Bicontinuous Framework for High-Performance Electromagnetic Interference Shielding
High-performance
electromagnetic interference (EMI)-shielding materials
featuring lightweight, flexibility, excellent conductivity, and shielding
properties, as well as superior mechanical robustness, are highly
required, yet their development still remains a daunting challenge.
Here, a flexible and exceptional EMI-shielding polydimethylsilane/reduced
graphene oxide/single-wall carbon nanotube (PDMS/rGO/SWCNT) nanocomposite
was developed by a facile backfilling approach utilizing a preformed
rGO/SWCNT aerogel as the three-dimensional (3D) conducting and reinforcement
skeleton. Pristine SWCNTs acting as secondary conductive fillers showed
intriguing advantages, whose intrinsically high conductivity could
be well preserved in the composites because of no surface acidification
treatment. The robust and interconnected 3D network can not only serve
as fast channels for electron transport but also effectively transfer
external load. Accordingly, a prominent electrical conductivity of
1.2 S cm<sup>–1</sup> and an outstanding EMI-shielding effectiveness
of around 31 dB over the X-band frequency range were achieved for
the resultant composite with an ultralow loading of 0.28 wt %, which
is among the best results for currently reported conductive polymer
nanocomposites. Moreover, the composite displayed excellent mechanical
properties and bending stability; for example, a 233% increment in
the compression strength was obtained compared with that of neat PDMS.
These observations indicate the unrivalled effectiveness of 3D rGO/SWCNT
aerogel as a reinforcement to endow the polymer composites with outstanding
conductive and mechanical properties toward high-performance EMI-shielding
