Abstract
- The quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) of constrained geometry catalysts (CGCs) has been analyzed by combining density functional theory (DFT) and multivariate linear regression (MLR). QSPR models for determining the reaction energy barriers of ethylene and 1-octene and molecular descriptors were established and validated with a testing set. At the initiation stage, the quaternary QSPR models for ethylene and 1-octene feature R² values of 0.90 and 0.82, respectively, while the corresponding leave-one-out Q² values for ethylene and 1-octene are determined to be 0.82 and 0.69. Using the generated QSPR models, the electronic effect was proven to be more critical for determining the energy barriers of ethylene and 1-octene insertion processes. At the propagation stage, the quaternary QSPR models for ethylene and 1-octene feature R² values of 0.97 and 0.96, respectively, while the corresponding leave-one-out Q² values for ethylene and 1-octene are determined to be 0.93. Particularly, the impact of the steric effect on the energy barriers of ethylene and 1-octene insertion is more pronounced. Furthermore, the correlation between the corresponding energy barriers and experimental activities with three series of CGCs was discussed, which revealed that theoretical calculations are consistent with the experimental results.
