Basic Principles

Herein, we summarize the photo- and electrochemical protocols for dehydrogenation and hydrogenations involving carbonyl and imine functions. The three basic principles that have been explored to interconvert such moieties with transition metal complexes are discussed in detail and the substrate scope is evaluated. Furthermore, we describe some general thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of such electro- and photochemically driven reactions.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Previously, we introduced DFT-D3(BJ) variants of the B97M-V, ωB97X-V and ωB97M-V functionals and assessed them for the GMTKN55 database [Najibi and Go- erigk, <i>J Chem. Theory Comput.</i> <b>2018</b>, <i>14</i>, 5725]. In this study, we present DFT-D4 damping parameters to build the DFT-D4 counterparts of these functionals and assess these in comparison. We extend our analysis beyond GMTKN55 and especially turn our attention to enzymatically catalysed and metal-organic reactions. We find that B97M-D4 is now the second-best performing meta-GGA functional for the GMTKN55 database and it can provide noticeably better organometallic reaction energies com- pared to B97M-D3(BJ). Moreover, the aforementioned DFT-D3(BJ) based functionals have not been thoroughly assessed for geometries and herein we close this gap by analysing geometries of noncovalently bound dimers and trimers, peptide conformers, water hexamers and transition-metal complexes. We find that several of the B97(M)- based methods—particularly the DFT-D4 versions—surpass the accuracy of previously studied methods for peptide conformer, water hexamer, and transition-metal complex geometries, making them safe-to-use, cost-efficient alternatives to the original methods. The DFT-D4 variants can be easily used with ORCA4.1 and above. </p> </div> </div> </div>
