| Abstract | In recent years, dinuclear copper cryptates have been investigated for their ability as catalysts for the fixation of atmospheric CO2. In this context, the catalyst normally hydrates CO2 to its bicarbonate form via nucleophilic attack on the relatively inactive carbon atom in CO2. The present study attempts to develop this model of catalyst by changing the space linker via replacement of the head unit, meta-benzene, with other aromatic or heterocyclic units. The efficiency of these novel catalysts is examined by Density Functional Theory (DFT) applied to the associated cascade-reaction mechanism. The Gibbs free energy profiles are computed to examine the energetics and geometries of all stationary points along the pathway. The most significant result is that cryptates linked to the dinuclear cryptate involving thiophene rings are predicted to be the most efficient catalyst in the uptake of CO2. Consequently, testing of this cryptate as a receptor for CO2 fixation is to be recommended. In this present study, we initially tested four DFT functions i.e. M06L, B97D MPW1K and B3LYP on experimentally found furano-linked cryptate intermediates. Among these functions, M06L proves to yield geometrical parameters closest to those obtained from experimental crystallographic studies. We also examine the intramolecular H2O addition to [Cu2-m-ben]4+ and the proton elimination steps are explained based on computed activation energy barriers and pKa calculations. Two different (m-xylyl and thio) dinuclear cryptate-linked spacers for CO2 fixation reaction pathways are examined at the M06L level of theory. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
