Abstract
[2+2]-Cyclodimerization of norbornadiene to pentacyclic products with exo-trans(cis)-exo structure in the presence of model catalytically active η4-norbornadiene nickel hydride complex was simulated at the DFT/PBE level of theory. According to the calculations, the rate-determining step in the cyclodimerization process is reductive elimination of the metallacycle whose decomposition yields norbornadiene dimer. The formation of cis-dimer is unfavorable for both kinetic and thermodynamic reasons.
