In this account, a technical overview of the artificial force induced reaction (AFIR) method is presented. The AFIR method is one of the automated reaction-path search methods developed by the authors, and has been applied extensively to a variety of chemical reactions, such as organocatalysis, organometallic catalysis, and photoreactions. There are two modes in the AFIR method, i.e., a multicomponent mode and a single-component mode. The former has been applied to bimolecular and multicomponent reactions and the latter to unimolecular isomerization and dissociation reactions. Five numerical examples are presented for an Aldol reaction, a Claisen rearrangement, a Co-catalyzed hydroformylation, a fullerene structure search, and a nonradiative decay path search in an electronically excited naphthalene molecule. Finally, possible applications of the AFIR method are discussed.
在本报告中,对人工力诱导反应(AFIR)方法进行了技术概述。AFIR方法是作者开发的自动反应路径搜索方法之一,已广泛应用于各种化学反应,如有机催化、有机金属催化和光反应。AFIR方法有两种模式,即多组分模式和单组分模式。前者已应用于双分子和多组分反应,后者已应用于单分子异构化和解离反应。给出了五个数值示例,分别用于羟醛缩合反应、克莱森重排反应、钴催化的氢甲酰化反应、富勒烯结构搜索以及电子激发萘分子中的非辐射衰变路径搜索。最后,讨论了AFIR方法的可能应用。
