Tetrafluoroethylene and butadiene form the 2 + 2 cycloadduct under kinetic control, but the Diels-Alder cycloadduct is formed under thermodynamic control. Borden and Getty showed that the preference for 2 + 2 cycloaddition is due to the necessity for -pyramidalization of the two CF groups in the 4 + 2 transition state. We have explored the full potential energy surface for the concerted and stepwise reactions of tetrafluoroethylene and butadiene with density functional theory, DFT (B3LYP and M06-2X), DLPNO-UCCSD(T), and CASSCF-NEVPT2 methods and with the distortion/interaction-activation strain model to explain the energetics of different pathways. The 2 + 2 cycloadduct is formed by an anti-transition state followed by two rotations and a final bond formation transition state. Energetics are compared to the reaction of maleic anhydride and ethylene.

Cycloaddition of Butadiene with Perfluoroethylene: Prediction of a Periselectivity Switch under Pressure.

Defying the common Diels-Alder reactivity, the thermal cycloaddition between butadiene and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) yields exclusively a [2 + 2] cycloadduct via a stepwise diradical mechanism. Here, we study the possibility of reverting to the normal [4 + 2] reactivity in this reaction under high pressure. DFT calculations using the eXtreme Pressure Polarizable Continuum Model (XP-PCM) suggest a more negative activation volume for the concerted [4 + 2] mechanism than the stepwise [2 + 2] mechanism and predict a switch in periselectivity at 1.

It is demonstrated that significant accuracy improvements in MRSF-TDDFT can be achieved by introducing two different exchange-correlation (XC) functionals for the reference Kohn-Sham DFT and the response part of the calculations, respectively. Accordingly, two new XC functionals of doubly tuned Coulomb attenuated method-vertical excitation energy (DTCAM-VEE) and DTCAM-AEE were developed on the basis of the "adaptive exact exchange (AEE)" concept in the framework of the Coulomb-attenuating XC functionals. The values by DTCAM-VEE are in excellent agreement with those of Thiel's set [mean absolute errors (MAEs) and the interquartile range (IQR) values of 0.

Three-dimensional (3D) rigidity-reinforced SiO anodes are prepared using the aqueous multicomponent binders to stabilize the performances of lithium-ion batteries. Considering an elastic skeleton, adhesiveness, electrolyte absorption, etc., four kinds of binders [polyacrylamide (PAM), poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE), carboxymethyl cellulose, and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)] are selected to prepare aqueous multicomponent binders.
