摘要

The silver-catalyzed epoxidation of olefins represents an important class of reactions in heterogeneous catalysis. Despite much study, however, the detailed mechanism for these reactions is not well understood. In an effort to better understand the mechanism of olefin epoxidation, the research described in this dissertation has been focused on synthesizing and studying oxametallacycle intermediates that may be formed during these reactions. By combining the results from experimental surface science studies with insights from theoretical calculations, it is possible to obtain a detailed understanding of the structure and reactivity of oxametallacycle intermediates on silver surfaces.; The recent commercialization of a new process for the silver-catalyzed epoxidation of 1,3-butadiene has created new opportunities for exploring the mechanism of epoxidation reactions on silver surfaces. The product of butadiene epoxidation, 1-epoxy-3-butene (EpB), has been reported to exist in a strongly adsorbed state on the catalyst used in the industrial process. We have utilized a combination of experimental surface science techniques and density functional theoretical calculations to study the nature of this intermediate on model silver surfaces. These studies have confirmed that the strongly adsorbed species is in fact an oxametallacycle intermediate—a cyclic -O-C-C- species in which both oxygen and carbon atoms are bound to the surface. Our combined experimental/theoretical studies have enabled us to examine the structure and reactivity of the isolated oxametallacycle in great detail, and to establish the importance of this intermediate in the industrial process.; A similar experimental/theoretical approach has been used to study oxametallacycle intermediates of potential importance in related oxidation processes, including ethylene, propylene, and isobutylene epoxidation, in order to determine how changes in oxametallacycle structure may alter reaction pathways. These investigations can identify explanations for observed reactivity differences for different epoxidation reactions, and can ultimately be used to obtain a more detailed understanding of the mechanism for olefin epoxidation. Furthermore, these studies demonstrate the incisiveness of the synergistic application of computational chemistry and experiment in pursuit of reaction mechanisms, and point toward a direction in which this approach can be used to shed light on a wide array of surface phenomena.
