光诱导噻吨酮与二苯胺间电子转移反应的溶剂化效应

利用纳秒激光闪光光解技术研究了噻吨酮(TX)和二苯胺(DPA)的光化学反应．在355 nm光激发下,TX的基电子态跃迁至第一激发态进而通过系间窜越生成三重态³TX^*. 在乙腈/水混合溶剂中,³TX^*与DPA反应体系的瞬态吸收光谱呈现出四个谱峰,分别对应³TX^*、TXH^·、TX^·-和DPA^·+的吸收. 随着溶剂极性的增大,这些吸收峰均发生红移. 结合动力学测量,³TX^*与DPA的反应机理被证实为电子转移伴随质子转移过程. ³TX^*与DPA反应的猝灭速率常数随溶剂极性的增大而缓慢减小,9.7×10⁹ L/(mol·s)(纯乙腈)、8.7×10⁹ L/(mol·s)(乙腈:水=9:1)、8.0×10⁹ L/(mol·s)(乙腈:水=4:1)和7.5×10⁹ L/(mol·s)(乙腈:水=1:1). 质子溶剂-水在此反应中的作用不明显,溶剂的极性对³TX^*与DPA电子转移速率的影响不大,表明³TX^*的³nπ^*和³ππ^*三重态吸引DPA中电子的能力相仿.

MeCN/H₂O均相溶液中³DQ^*与Trp、Tyr的反应速率常数要明显高于EG/H₂O均相溶液中的反应速率常数,这与Stokes-Einstein方程定性一致.     

氧化石墨烯负载的Pt单原子催化硼胺烷水解机理的理论研究

本文研究了氧化石墨烯负载Pt单原子(Pt₁/Gr-O)催化硼胺烷(NH₃BH₃)全水解反应机理,即一分子的NH₃BH₃生成三分子的氢气(H₂)的过程. 在水解路径中,首先吸附的硼胺烷连续断裂两个B-H键生成第一分子的H₂. 接着,一个H₂O分子与^*BHNH₃基团(^*表示吸附态)反应生成^*BH(H₂O)NH₃,其中伸长的O-H键断裂后形成^*BH(OH)NH₃. 然后,第二个H₂O与^*BH(OH)NH₃反应生成^*BH(OH)(H₂O)NH₃,在指向Pt₁/Gr-O表面的O-H断裂后,生成BH(OH)₂NH₃并脱附到水溶液中. 两个水分子脱氢产生的两个H原子脱附生成第二个H₂分子,且Pt₁/Gr-O催化剂恢复. 脱附后的BH(OH)₂NH₃在水溶液中水解生成第三个H₂分子. 纵观整个水解反应,H₂O分子和^*BHNH₃基团的结合是反应速控步,其反应能垒是16.1 kcal/mol. 因此,Pt₁/Gr-O有希望成为室温催化NH₃BH₃全水解催化剂.     

噻吨酮光物理和光化学行为对溶剂的依赖性

本文利用纳秒瞬态吸收光谱技术,在不同溶剂中,研究了噻吨酮的光物理和光化学行为. TX的激发三重态(³TX^*)涉及2种电子态,³nπ^*和³ππ^*态. 随着溶剂极性的增强,³ππ^*态的贡献加大. 在CH₃CN,CH₃CN/CH₃OH(1:1)和CH₃CN/H₂O(1:1)溶剂中,³TX^*的自猝灭速率常数k_sq逐渐减小. 这可能由于通过氢键形成的激基复合物阻碍了³TX^*的碰撞猝灭. 二苯胺通过电子转移还原³TX^*,生成TX^·-阴离子和DPA^·+阳离子自由基. 溶剂对该转移过程的影响不明显,表明TX的³nπ^*和³ππ^*态夺取电子的能力相近. 然而,溶剂的依赖性在TX^·-的猝灭过程中表现明显. 在强酸性条件下(pH=3.0),质子化的TX和非质子化的TX之间存在着动态平衡. 在激发光作用下,生成³TXH^+*,光谱上呈现出520 nm处的吸收峰.

The gas phase oxidation of HCOOH by Cl and NH2 radicals. Proton coupled electron transfer versus hydrogen atom transfer*

ABSTRACT

The reaction of formic acid (HCOOH) with chlorine atom and amidogen radical (NH₂) have been investigated using high level theoretical methods such BH&HLYP, MP2, QCISD, and CCSD(T) with the 6–311?+?G(2df,2p), aug-cc-pVTZ, aug-cc-pVQZ and extrapolation to CBS basis sets. The abstraction of the acidic and formyl hydrogen atoms of the acid by the two radicals has been considered, and the different reactions proceed either by a proton coupled electron transfer (pcet) and hydrogen atom transfer (hat) mechanisms. Our calculated rate constant at 298?K for the reaction with Cl is 1.14?×?10^?13?cm³?molecule^?1?s^?1 in good agreement with the experimental value 1.8?±?0.12/2.0?×?10^?13?cm³?molecule^?1?s^?1 and the reaction proceeds exclusively by abstraction of the formyl hydrogen atom, via hat mechanism, producing HOCO+ClH. The calculated rate constant, at 298?K, for the reaction with NH₂ is 1.71?×?10^?15?cm³?molecule^?1?s^?1, and the reaction goes through the abstraction of the acidic hydrogen atom, via a pcet mechanism, leading to the formation of HCOO+NH₃.     

DFT study of adenine‐uracil base pair damage by OH radical

The hydrogen abstraction and addition reactions of OH radical with A·U base pair have been explored by using density functional theory (DFT) both in gas phase and in aqueous solution. Solvent effects were taken into consideration by using the polarized continuum model. All the reaction pathways are exothermic in energy, and the compounds in aqueous phase are more favorable than those in gas phase. The relative free energies of adducts in the addition reaction are lower than those obtained for products in hydrogen abstraction reaction. Among dehydrogenation reaction, the hydrogen abstractions from A^C2·U and A^N6·U sites are more favorable than those from A^C8·U, A·U^C5, and A·U^C6 sites. In addition, hydroxylation at A^C8·U, A·U^C5, and A·U^C6 sites are more probable than other investigated positions. The hydroxylation at A^H8·U site is most favorable, and hydroxylation at A·U^C5 site is more preference than that at A·U^C6 site controlled by the kinetics factors. The data in both gas phase and water solution demonstrated that addition of OH radical to A·U^C5 and A·U^C6 sites are more thermodynamically and kinetically favorable than abstracting the hydrogen atom form A·U^C5 and A·U^C6 sites. The phenomena are in agreement with the experimental observations. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Electron attachment to uracil: effective destruction at subexcitation energies

We demonstrate that electrons at energies below the threshold for electronic excitation (<3 eV) effectively decompose gas phase uracil generating a mobile hydrogen radical and the corresponding closed shell uracil fragment anion (U-H)(-). The reaction is energetically driven by the large electron affinity of the (U-H) radical. This observation has significant consequences for the molecular picture of radiation damage, i.e., genotoxic effects or damage of living cells due to the secondary component of high energy radiation.     

A theoretical study on the ESPT mechanism for a novel Bis‐HPBT fluorophore

In this work, based on the density functional theory and time‐dependent density functional theory methods, the properties of the 2 intramolecular hydrogen bonds (O1‐H2···N3 and O4‐H5···N6) of a new photochemical sensor 4‐(3‐(benzo[d]thiazol‐2‐yl)‐5‐tert‐butyl‐4‐hydroxybenzyl)‐2‐(benzo[d]thiazol‐2‐yl)‐6‐tert‐butyl phenol (Bis‐HPBT) have been investigated in detail. The calculated dominating bond lengths and bond angles about these 2 hydrogen bonds (O1‐H2···N3 and O4‐H5···N6) demonstrate that the intramolecular hydrogen bonds should be strengthened in the S₁ state. In addition, the variations of hydrogen bonds of Bis‐HPBT have been also testified based on infrared vibrational spectra. Our theoretical results reproduced absorption and emission spectra of the experiment, which verifies that the theoretical level we used is reasonable and effective in this work. Further, hydrogen bonding strengthening manifests the tendency of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. Frontier molecular orbitals depict the nature of electronically excited state and support the ESIPT reaction. According to the calculated results of potential energy curves along stepwise and synergetic O1‐H2 and O4‐H5 coordinates, the potential energy barrier of approximately 1.399 kcal/mol is discovered in the S₁ state, which supports the single ESIPT process along with 1 hydrogen bond of Bis‐HPBT. In other words, the proton transfer reaction can be facilitated based on the electronic excitation effectively. In turn, through the process of radiative transition, the proton‐transfer Bis‐HPBT‐SPT form regresses to the ground state with the fluorescence of 539 nm.     

Pulse radiolysis studies of 2‐ and 3‐hydroxybenzyl alcohols: inhibition of dehydration of ·OH‐(hydroxybenzyl alcohols) adducts by H2PO4− ions

Reactions of ·OH/O ^.? radicals and H‐atoms as well as specific oxidants such as Cl₂^.? and N₃· radicals have been studied with 2‐ and 3‐hydroxybenzyl alcohols (2‐ and 3‐HBA) at various pH using pulse radiolysis technique. At pH 6.8, ·OH radicals were found to react quite fast with both the HBAs (k = 7.8 × 10⁹ dm³ mol^?1 s^?1 with 2‐HBA and 2 × 10⁹ dm³ mol^?1 s^?1 with 3‐HBA) mainly by adduct formation and to a minor extent by H‐abstraction from ? CH₂OH groups. ·OH‐(HBA) adduct were found to undergo decay to give phenoxyl type radicals in a pH dependent way and it was also very much dependent on buffer‐ion concentrations. It was seen that ·OH‐(2‐HBA) and ·OH‐(3‐HBA) adducts react with HPO₄^2? ions (k = 2.1 × 10⁷ and 2.8 × 10⁷ dm³ mol^?1 s^?1 at pH 6.8, respectively) giving the phenoxyl type radicals of HBAs. At the same time, this reaction is very much hindered in the presence of H₂PO ions indicating the role of phosphate ion concentration in determining the reaction pathway of ·OH adduct decay to final stable product. In the acidic region adducts were found to react with H⁺ ions. At pH 1, reaction of ·OH radicals with HBAs gave exclusively phenoxyl type radicals. Proportion of the reducing radicals formed by H‐abstraction pathway in ·OH/O ^.? reactions with HBAs was determined following electron transfer to methyl viologen. H‐atom abstraction is the major pathway in O ^.? reaction with HBAs compared to ·OH radical reaction. H‐atom reaction with 2‐ and 3‐HBA gave transient species which were found to transfer electron to methyl viologen quantitatively. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL and PL studies on defect-assisted green luminescence from doped strontium sulfide phosphor

Defect-assisted luminescence of Pr³⁺-doped SrS has been investigated and reported in this paper. The polycrystalline sample of phosphor was prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method and checked for crystallization and phase by X-ray diffraction study. The thermally stimulated luminescence studies of the phosphor samples with various activator concentrations, irradiated by a blacklight source, are conducted and show a broad single peak around 365-382 K. Computerized glow curve deconvolution tool is used to evaluate the effective trapping parameters and suggests quasi-continuous distribution of traps in the range of 0.5−0.9 eV. A critical survey on the application of first-order kinetics in the present phosphor is undertaken. Photoluminescence studies reveal three excitation bands at 287, 314, 355 nm and defect-related emission at 517, 494 nm for two concentrations of activator atoms in the present phosphor. The 314-355 nm broad excitation bands correspond to a charge transfer transition of Pr³⁺-S²⁻.
