Computational Study of 3d Metals and Their Influence on the Acidity of Methane C–H Bonds (open access)

Computational Study of 3d Metals and Their Influence on the Acidity of Methane C–H Bonds

Article describes experiment where CCSD(T) methods in conjunction with correlation consistent basis sets were used to predict the pKa for the deprotonation of methane in a 3d metal ion adduct, [M···CH4]+ (M = Sc–Cu), in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent, which is modeled by the SMD continuum solvent model.
