T he reaction channels w ere studied by density functional theo ry (D FT ) at B 3L YPg62311G (d, p ) level to locate the local m inim um po ints and the transition structures, and to verify the result of A IM D in term s of energy, suggesting that s2tetrazine m o lecu le underw en t concerted trip le dissociation, ju st as its pho to lysis m echanism. T he effect rules of five different substituents on the modes of tetrazine ring opening, the stability of the tetrazine ring and therm al decompo sition m echanism of tetrazine derivatives w ere obtained. If the stability of the sub stituen t is better than that of the tetrazine ring, decom po sition occu rs first th rough the ring b reak ing. O therw ise, the sub stituen t reaction s first take p lace. M o reover, som e new conclu sion s abou t the effect of intermo lecular reaction on the therm al decompo sition m echanism s of tetrazines w ere ach ieved.
