In-depth study of catalytic reactions that occur in homogeneous and / or heterogeneous medium still represents a challenge for computational chemistry, mainly when the model becomes even more closer to the real systems. Design and rethink of new catalysts, in order to produce C-C and C-N bonds, attracts considerable interest of the scientific community nowadays. Palladium-based catalysts …
Given the rise in pesticide use driven by an increase in human activities, particularly unsustainable agricultural practices aimed at boosting productivity, there has been a significant uptick in the presence of contaminants in food. Consequently, there is an urgent demand for the development of stable, cost-effective, selective, and sensitive materials capable of detecting such substance…
C-H functionalization reactions in aromatic compounds have already established themselves as one of the main strategies in organic chemistry, enabling the synthesis of a variety of compounds. Despite the growing number of studies in the field, controlling selectivity in this type of reaction remains the main challenge to be overcome. In the class of arenes, the greatest difficulty lies in…
The increase in CO2 emissions in the Earth's atmosphere has reached alarming levels in recent years. As this is a widely debated topic in the scientific community, many studies have been conducted to mitigate the greenhouse effect. One of the alternatives presented to help address this problem is the conversion of CO2 into high-value-added products with broad applications in the chemical …

C-H functionalization reactions have received much attention from specialized authors in the last times, with a growing number of publications in the area. Countless products can be conceived with the propitious conditions and catalysts, usually with a higher atom economy, compared with other techniques. Combined with experimental research, computational studies provide a deeper understan…
The control of noncovalent interactions has been increasingly used to direct the regioselectivity of reactions involving unactivated arenes. Pd-Catalyzed meta-selective C-H olefination and Ir-Catalyzed C-H borylation has been highlighted in the specialized literature. Despite the growing interest in the description and control of noncovalent interactions in regioselectivity, there are fe…
Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling allows one to make a new C-C bond between an organic halide and a boronic acid, in the presence of a base and a metal catalyst, which Palladium is the most used one. In this work, we study the mechanism of a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with Arildiazonium Salts, in the absence of a base, using Nickel as a catalyst, and glycerol as a solvent. We hope that the catal…

The Activation Strain Model (ASM) and Energy Decomposition Analysis (EDA) are fundamental methodologies rooted in and augmenting the Kohn Sham Molecular Orbital (KS-MO) Theory for understanding reactivity and diverse chemical phenomena. Their combined use allows the unraveling of the causal physical factors underlying the chemical phenomena of interest. These methods are based on the deco…
Recent studies in spectroscopy have demonstrated that infrared radiation can induce precise and selective conformational changes and/or the breaking of chemical bonds. When infrared radiation is absorbed by the molecule, vibrational excitation occurs raising the energy of the system, consequently increasing the probability of the system tunneling through the potential barrier. Additionall…
Palladium-catalyzed C-C cross-coupling reactions are among the most important fields in organic synthesis and organometallic chemistry. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010 was awarded to its main developers, Richard Heck, Ei-Ichi Negishi e Akira Suzuki, reflecting the importance of these reactions in modern chemical sciences.A complete characterization of the mechanism of Palladium-catalyze…
