Figure 3: Reaction path calculated by means of the IRC method for the DA reaction between butadiene 1 and ethylene 2 [38]. A bonding between atoms in all phases is demonstrated by the standard Lewis representation; however, in the case of phases IV and V, ellipses reflect the non-bonding electron density concentrated in the C atoms. The four colours represent the four main groups in which the bonding changes can categorize. |
