Abstract

Reaction energies were determined for reductive ring-opening reactions of Li⁺-coordinated ethylene carbonate (EC) and vinylene carbonate (VC) by a density functional method. We have also explored the ring-opening of Li⁺-EC and Li⁺-VC by reaction with a nucleophile (CH ₃O^-) thermodynamically. Our thermodynamic calculations led us to conclude that the possible reaction products are CH₃OCH ₂CH₂OCO₂Li (O₂-C₃ cleavage) for Li⁺-EC + CH₃O^-, and CH ₃OCHCHOCO₂Li (O₂-C₃ cleavage) and CH₃OCO₂CHCHOLi (C₁-O₂ cleavage) for Li⁺-VC + CH₃O^-. The opening of VC would occur at the C₁-O₂ side by a kinetic reason, although the opening at the O₂-C₃ side is more favorable thermodynamically.
