Recent synthesis of sp-hybridized cyclo[18]carbon allotrope has attracted immense curiosity. Since then, a generous amount of theoretical studies concerning aromaticity, adsorption, and spectra of the molecule have been performed. However, very few stuides have been carried out concerning its reactivities and catalytic behaviour. In this article, a DFT-based inquisition has been reported regarding the reactivity of Si substituted cyclo[18]carbon molecule towards molecular N2. Results show that the Si substituted derivative is effective in producing adducts with molecular nitrogen. Charge calculations and IRC trapping methods indicate that only the Si center of C17Si and its (HOMO-1) level participate in N2 addition. The N-adduct so formed, is then found to spontaneously react with molecular H2. The addition of two H2 molecules to the activated nitrogen molecule to give respective amine derivatives have also been studied. The successful generation of the precursor of NH3 by C17Si lays a clear emphasis on its potentiality. © 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
