Catalytic properties of Cu2+ ions in oxidation reactions of P4 were investigated in present work using quantum-chemical methods. The geometric structures of several transition metal complexes were determined. The oxidation of P4 molecules in reactions with alkane hydroxide compounds by means of interaction with Cu2+ ions is substantiated based on comparative analysis of energies. The mechanism of activation of P4 molecular cations is studied. The possibility of occurrence of the reaction is shown based on thermodynamic parameters.

The storage of hydrogen is the key technology for a sustainable future. We developed an in silico procedure, which is based on the combination of experimental and quantum-chemical methods. This method was used to evaluate energetic parameters for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions of various pyrazine derivatives as a seminal liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), that are involved in the hydrogen storage technologies. With this in silico tool, the tempo of the reliable search for suitable LOHC candidates will accelerate dramatically, leading to the design and development of efficient materials for various niche applications.
