1 Mass-Analyzed Threshold Ionization Spectroscopy
Yttrium-Assisted C-H and C-C Bond Activation of Ethylene (C2H4) Probed by Mass-Analyzed Threshold Ionization Spectroscopy Jong Hyun Kim, Dong-Sheng Yang June 23th 2016 International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy Champaign-Urbana, Illinois

2 Introduction Metal activation of hydrocarbons plays an important role in organic synthesis and catalysis Understanding of metal mediated C-H & C-C activation helps to figure out the reaction mechanisms of metal-hydrocarbon reactions Few spectroscopic studies, little information about the structures and electronic states of the intermediates and products.

21 Conclusions Y + ethylene reaction produced Y(C2H2), Y(C2H4), and Y(C4H6) via C-H activation and C-C coupling. Their structures, AIEs, electronic states, and vibrational modes were measured and investigated, respectively. Similar to La + ethylene reaction, except for one more product, Y(C2H4). This may be caused by different nd1(n+1)s2  nd2(n+1)s1 promotion energies.

*La promotion energy:  ground state: 5d1 6s2 2D 0 cm-1 excited state: 5d2  6s1 2F cm-1 ( kcal/mol) *Y promotion energy: ground state: 4d1 5s2 2D 0 cm-1 excited state: 4d2 5s1 2F cm-1 ( kcal/mol) (1cm-1 = kcal/mol) As we guessed, La has lower promotion energy than Y.
