Abstract
The different potential energy surfaces (PESs) of Ni + ( 2D, 3d 9) with butanone in gas phase have been systematically explored by density functional theory (DFT). Two parallel decomposition reaction mechanisms have been identified. The course that the Ni + inserts into the σ-bond of the C C 2H 5 or C CH 3 leading to the C C bond activation has been analyzed using the natural bond orbital (NBO). Finally, the conclusion of the theory calculation was consistent with the experimental results which provided by the Darrin J. Bellert group in 2011 that three neutral organic molecule products (ethylene, acetaldehyde and methane) were obtained.
