The current work introduces a new concept in this field: that of molecular cages, containing only main group elements, serving to activate small molecules. Full quantum mechanical calculations employing DFT/SCS-MP2 methods indicate that recently synthesized Ga-N cage compounds would be excellent candidates for mediating in important reactions such as the catalysis of ammonia borane dehydrogenation. The current work therefore opens up exciting new possibilities in small molecule activation research.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.794

The current computational investigation looks into the possibility of using allenes and their derivatives as leaving groups. As it is well known, leaving groups are significant in catalytic processes for generating the active site. A full quantum mechanical study using density functional theory shows that allenes and their derivatives can function as excellent leaving groups. Indeed, the calculations show that they can be several orders of magnitude more effective than existing ligands for this purpose. The modification of second generation Grubbs' catalysts with these ligands suggests that the allene ligand cases that would be most effective are those having electron withdrawing groups, especially those that have the potential for supramolecular interactions between the substituent groups in the free state.
