Abstract
The DFT investigation of Ni+ assisted decomposition of propionaldehyde has been applied. Interestingly, two competitive reaction paths have been found. The C—C activation path is kinetically more favorable than the C—H activation path. The bonding analysis indicated that the initial complex, Ni+(C3H6O), is formed by electrostatic interaction.
The reactions of Ni+ with propionaldehyde in the gas phase have been systematically investigated using density functional theory at the B3LYP/def2-TZVP level. The decomposition reaction mechanism has been identified. Our calculations indicated that Ni+ can assist decomposition of propionaldehyde to form Ni+CO and C2H6 through two types of reaction channel: C—C bond activation and C—H bond activation. In addition, charge decomposition analysis (CDA) was carried out to obtain a deeper understanding for orbital interaction of the initial complex. The bonding properties of the species involved were discussed by means of diverse analysis methods including electron localization function (ELF) and atoms in molecules (AIM).

Abstract
A ground-state boron atom inserts into the C=C bond of ethylene to spontaneously form the allene-like compound H2 CBCH2 on annealing in solid neon. This compound can further isomerize to the propyne-like HCBCH3 isomer under UV light excitation. The observation of this unique spontaneous C=C bond insertion reaction is consistent with theoretical predictions that the reaction is thermodynamically exothermic and kinetically facile. This work demonstrates that the stronger C=C bond, rather than the less inert C-H bond, can be broken to form organoboron species from the reaction of a boron atom with ethylene even at cryogenic temperatures.

Abstract
Methylidene isocyanides, methyl isocyanides, and eta(2)-nitrile-pi-complexes are observed in the matrix IR spectra from reactions of Group 5 metals with acetonitrile isotopomers. The primary isocyanide products with no trace of cyanide complexes are consistent with the reaction path proposed in the analogous Zr study. The major products (CH(2)=Ta(H)NC, CH(3)-NbNC, eta(2)-Nb(NC)-CH(3), and eta(2)-V(NC)-CH(3)) after codeposition and reaction of metal with CH(3)CN clearly show the increasing preference for the higher oxidation-state complex on going down the group column, and the subsequent photochemistry provides further information for molecular rearrangements. The Group 5 metal methylidene isocyanides exhibit more agostic distortion than the Zr counterparts and are comparable to the previously studied Group 5 metal methylidene hydrides and halides. The computed structures and observed frequencies indicate that the effects of metal conjugation (C=Ta-N=C:) are minor.
