Abstract
Two models are studied for the anchored system Mo2(η3-C 3H5)4/SiO2: united model (UM) and separated model (SM). Total energies, bond orders, diatomic energies, and parametric diatomic binding energies of selected bonds were calculated for Si8O24H16, Mo2(η3-C3H5)4, and Mo2(η3-C3H5) 4/Si8O24H16 systems, using a CNDO-UHF parametrical method. From the energetic viewpoint, UM is more stable than SM to explain the immobilizing of Mo2(η3-C3H5)4 on silica. It is observed Mo-H interaction that leads to C-H activation. These results support several features of the generally accepted mechanism for olefin metathesis. An interpretation of these theoretical results was carried by comparing with PAS-FTIR, 1H and 13C solid-state NMR, and XPS trends.
