"Validation of Molecular Model I"

Eisenstein and coworkers recently modeled a well-defined, silica-supported olefin metathesis catalyst, [(≡SiO)Re(≡CR)(=CHR)(CH2R)], where (≡SiO)Re represents a Re fragment monopodally connected to a silica support. The silica surface, (≡SiO) was quantum mechanically described using cristobalite and edingtonite for surface models, and the (≡SiO) linkage to the surface was also modeled with molecular ligands of the type X3SiO- (X3SiO is triphenylsiloxy or polyoligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS). These studies found that the geometric and electronic properties of the Re fragment on the silica surface have essentially no differences from those with either the triphenylsiloxy or the silsesquioxane ligands. (New J. Chem. 2006, 30, 842-850). These results suggest that Ti molecules possessing siloxy ligands can be utilized to describe the nature of a Ti active center, tripodally connected to the silica surface in TiSBA15 materials, and a model possessing a silsesquioxane moiety can further be employed to validate our siloxy-based molecular model (HO)Ti[OSi(OH)3]3 (I) in this study. In this regard, Ti-silsesquioxane based molecular models (I’, II’, III’ and IV’) were designed and optimized at the same level of theory, B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p). The calculated relative energies of the Ti-silsesquioxane-based molecules, presented in Figure S12, are very similar to those obtained for (HO)Ti[OSi(OH)3]3 (I, Figure 8 in the manuscript), supporting the validity of the siloxy-based molecular model (HO)Ti[OSi(OH)3]3 (I).

In addition, the calculated bond lengths, bond angles, and dihedral

angles are nearly identical for the siloxy- and silsesquioxane-based models, again confirming the efficacy of molecular model I. The calculated geometrical parameters derived from the two models are compared in Table S2.

Figure S12.

311+G(d,p).

S-15

Further validation was carried out by examining the oxidation capabilities of Ti(η1OOH) species derived from either the siloxy-based or silsesquioxane-based models using ethylene as the substrate (note that this reaction has been studied extensively, by experiment and theory). Ethylene is oxidized by transfer of an electrophilic oxygen atom from a Ti(η1-OOH) species, and the oxidation capabilities of the Ti-based species can thus be evaluated theoretically by calculating activation energies for the electrophilic oxygen transfers. As presented in Figure S13, the calculated activation energy (12.5 kcal/mol) with the silsesquixane model is nearly identical to that (12.7 kcal/mol) derived from the siloxy-based model, again strongly supporting the validity of (HO)Ti[OSi(OH)3]3 (I).
