Abstract
The present work investigates the impact of the external electric field (EEF) on the oxidizing power of N2O, by employing kinetics and quantum chemical calculations. This study has taken the oxidation of olefin (ethene and cyclohexene) by N2O as a prototype to demonstrate the effectiveness of EEF. The investigation suggests that the reaction barrier is significantly reduced by choosing an electric field in an appropriate direction. Quantitatively, this study finds that the rate of EEF-catalyzed reaction can be as high as ≈13 orders of magnitude compared to the bare reaction.
期刊介绍：
ChemPlusChem is a peer-reviewed, general chemistry journal that brings readers the very best in multidisciplinary research centering on chemistry. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
Fully comprehensive in its scope, ChemPlusChem publishes articles covering new results from at least two different aspects (subfields) of chemistry or one of chemistry and one of another scientific discipline (one chemistry topic plus another one, hence the title ChemPlusChem). All suitable submissions undergo balanced peer review by experts in the field to ensure the highest quality, originality, relevance, significance, and validity.
