Abstract
The reaction of CO2 with seven molecules featuring a 1,4-diborinine central ring has been studied by means of Density Functional Theory calculations. The selected systems present five- and six-membered aza rings surrounding the 1,4-diborinine with neutral, anion and dianion charges. In all cases, the reaction is exothermic and exergonic. The computed reactivity trends and origin of regioselectivity have been quantitatively analyzed in detail with the activation strain model in combination with the energy decomposition analysis method, which indicates the crucial role of electrostatic and orbital interactions in the transformations.
