Formation of organic peroxides in the photooxidation of CH4

The formation of organic peroxides in the Cl-atom-initiated photooxidation of CH₄ in O₂-N₂ mixtures at 101 325 Pa and 298 K was studied with HPLC and FT-IR methods. Four peroxidic products were detected, which were H₂O₂, hydroxymethyl hydroperoxide (HOCH₂OOH; HMHP), methyl peroxide (CH300H; MHP) and dimethyl peroxide (CH₃00CH₃). A chromatogram peak at retention time of 8.08 min was assigned tentatively to peroxyformic acid (HC(O)OOH). The identification of HMHP in the reaction system showed that one of the reaction paths for the self-reaction of CH₃00. led to producing Criegee intermediate CH₂OO. The formation mechanism of organic peroxide in the photooxidation of CH₄ is more complicated than it was assumed before. Photooxidation of CH₄ is probably an important source of organic peroxides in the troposphere. Project supported by the State Scientific and Technological Commission of China (Grant No. E96-05)     

CH3OOH和CH3CH2OOH的表征和活性：光电子能谱的研究

The ionization energies of MHP （CH3OOH） and EHP（CH3CH2OOH） nave been determined by Hel photoelectron spectroscopy （PES） measurement and both Gaussian-2 （G2） calculation and Hartree-Fock （HF） method on the basis of Koopmans theorem at 6.311＋G^＊ basis set level for the first time. The assignment and characterization of PE spectra of MHP and EHP were also supported by the G2 and HF calculations. The first ionization energies of MHP and EHP are 9.87 and 9.65 eV, respectively. Higher solubility of EHP in the atmosphere was attributed to their lower ionization energy values.

Ground and electronically excited states of methyl hydroperoxide: comparison with hydrogen peroxide

Equilibrium geometries of the ground states of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and methyl hydroperoxide (CH(3)OOH) have been obtained using quadratic configuration interaction methods with correlation-consistent basis sets. These results are compared with experiments and prior calculations. The dipole moments of the ground states of these two molecules have been calculated. The results illustrate the sensitivity of this quantity to molecular geometry. Several excited states of H(2)O(2) and CH(3)OOH were calculated using the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles-and-doubles method. Aside from vertical excitation energies, excited state energies along the O-O, O-H, and C-O dissociation pathways were calculated. The results are expected to be of assistance in resolving discrepancies in the experimental interpretation of the UV absorption spectrum and photodissociation of CH(3)OOH.     

Vibrational overtone initiated unimolecular dissociation of HOCH2OOH and HOCD2OOH: evidence for mode selective behavior

The vibrational overtone induced unimolecular dissociation of HMHP (HOCH(2)OOH) and HMHP-d(2) (HOCD(2)OOH) into OH and HOCH(2)O (HOCD(2)O) fragments is investigated in the region of the 4nu(OH) and 5nu(OH) bands. The unimolecular dissociation rates in the threshold region, corresponding to the 4nu(OH) band, exhibit measurable differences associated with excitation of the OH stretch of the alcohol versus the peroxide functional group, with the higher energy alcohol OH stretching state exhibiting a slower dissociation rate compared to the lower energy peroxide OH stretch in both HMHP and HMHP-d(2). Predictions using the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory give rates that are in reasonably good agreement with the measured dissociation rate for the alcohol OH stretch but considerably differ from the measured rates for the peroxide OH stretch in both isotopomers. The present results are interpreted as suggesting that the extent of intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) is different for the two OH stretching states associated with the two functional groups in HMHP, with IVR being substantially less complete for the peroxide OH stretch. Analysis of the OH fragment product state distributions in conjunction with phase-space theory simulation gives a D(0) value of 38+/-0.7 kcal/mole for breaking the peroxide bond in HMHP.

Absorption spectra and photolysis of methyl peroxide in liquid and frozen water

Methyl peroxide (CH(3)OOH) is commonly found in atmospheric waters and ices in significant concentrations. It is the simplest organic peroxide and an important precursor to hydroxyl radical. Many studies have examined the photochemical behavior of gaseous CH(3)OOH; however, the photochemistry of liquid and frozen water solutions is poorly understood. We present a series of experiments and theoretical calculations designed to elucidate the photochemical behavior of CH(3)OOH dissolved in liquid water and ice over a range of temperatures. The molar extinction coefficients of aqueous CH(3)OOH are different from the gas phase, and they do not change upon freezing. Between -12 and 43 °C, the quantum yield of CH(3)OOH photolysis is described by the following equation: Φ(T) = exp((-2175 ± 448)1/T) + 7.66 ± 1.56). We use on-the-fly ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to model structures and absorption spectra of a bare CH(3)OOH molecule and a CH(3)OOH molecule immersed inside 20 water molecules at 50, 200, and 220 K. The simulations predict large sensitivity in the absorption spectrum of CH(3)OOH to temperature, with the spectrum narrowing and shifting to the blue under cryogenic conditions because of constrained dihedral motion around the O-O bond. The shift in the absorption spectrum is not observed in the experiment when the CH(3)OOH solution is frozen suggesting that CH(3)OOH remains in a liquid layer between the ice grains. Using the extinction coefficients and photolysis quantum yields obtained in this work, we show that under conditions with low temperatures, in the presence of clouds with a high liquid-water content and large solar zenith angles, the loss of CH(3)OOH by aqueous photolysis is responsible for up to 20% of the total loss of CH(3)OOH due to photolysis. Gas phase photolysis of CH(3)OOH dominates under all other conditions.

Determination of Organic Peroxides by High Performance Liquid Chroma-Tography with Electrochemical Detection

Abstract

The application of electrochemical detection to the high performance liquid chromatographic determination of organic peroxides has been studied. The use of a buffered mobile phase was found to be critical to the successful analysis of samples containing hydroperoxides. Using amperometric detection, mixtures of peroxide containing compounds were readily determined. The sensitivity of the amperometric detector was in the one nanogram range for both benzoyl peroxide and cumene hydroperoxide. Polar-ographic detection was found to be a highly reproducible method for the analysis of samples containing peroxides as components of mixtures in the range of 5-2000 ng. The peroxide containing compounds determined in this manner were t-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, and 13-hydroperoxy-9(Z)-11(E)-octadecadien-oic acid. The polarographic detection system was used to obtain observed half-wave potentials for the peroxides under different chromatographic conditions. These observations correlated closely with literature results on the polarography of these compounds.     

A theoretical study of the reactions of carbonyl oxide with water in atmosphere: the role of water dimer

Carbonyl oxide is a well-known intermediate formed in gas-phase reactions of ozone with alkenes. Secondary reactions of carbonyl oxide are suggested to lead to the formation of HO, H₂O₂ and organic peroxides in the atmosphere. We performed a theoretical study of reactions of carbonyl oxide with water and a water dimer. Using CCSD(T)/6-311+G(2d,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p) calculations we found that the most energetically favourable channel is the formation of hydroxymethyl hydroperoxide (HMHP) as the result of reactions of carbonyl oxide with the water dimer. The potential importance of water dimer reactions in the chemistry of the troposphere is discussed herein.     

Unimolecular decomposition of ethyl hydroperoxide: ab initio/Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theoretical prediction of rate constants

Alkyl hydroperoxides are found to be important intermediates in the combustion and oxidation processes of hydrocarbons. However, studies of ethyl hydroperoxide (CH(3)CH(2)OOH) are limited. In this work, kinetics and mechanisms for unimolecular decomposition of CH(3)CH(2)OOH have been investigated. The potential energy surface of decomposition reactions have first been predicted at the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. The results show that the formation of CH(3)CH(2)O + OH via O-O direct bond dissociation is dominant, the branching ratio of which is over 99% in the whole temperature range from 300 to 1000 K, and its rate constant can be expressed as k1 = 9.26 × 10(52)T(-11.91)exp(-26879/T) s(-1) at 1 atm. The rate constants of the reaction CH(3)CH(2)OOH → CH(3)CH(2)O + OH at different temperatures and pressures have been calculated, which can help us to comprehend the reactions of CH(3)CH(2)OOH at experimental conditions.     

The kinetics of complex formation between Ti(IV) and hydrogen peroxide

The kinetics of the formation of the titanium‐peroxide [TiO²⁺₂] complex from the reaction of Ti(IV)OSO₄ with hydrogen peroxide and the hydrolysis of hydroxymethyl hydroperoxide (HMHP) were examined to determine whether Ti(IV)OSO₄ could be used to distinguish between hydrogen peroxide and HMHP in mixed solutions. Stopped‐flow analysis coupled to UV‐vis spectroscopy was used to examine the reaction kinetics at various temperatures. The molar absorptivity (ε) of the [TiO²⁺₂] complex was found to be 679.5 ± 20.8 L mol^?1 cm^?1 at 405 nm. The reaction between hydrogen peroxide and Ti(IV)OSO₄ was first order with respect to both Ti(IV)OSO₄ and H₂O₂ with a rate constant of 5.70 ± 0.18 × 10⁴ M^?1 s^?1 at 25°C, and an activation energy, E_a = 40.5 ± 1.9 kJ mol^?1. The rate constant for the hydrolysis of HMHP was 4.3 × 10^?3 s^?1 at pH 8.5. Since the rate of complex formation between Ti(IV)OSO₄ and hydrogen peroxide is much faster than the rate of hydrolysis of HMHP, the Ti(IV)OSO₄ reaction coupled to time‐dependent UV‐vis spectroscopic measurements can be used to distinguish between hydrogen peroxide and HMHP in solution. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The analysis of combustion products : The effect of hydrogen peroxide on the reaction of potassium permanganate with organic peroxides in acid solution

Although methyl and ethyl hydroperoxides alone do not react with potassium permanganate in acid solution at room temperature, they can be oxidised by this reagent in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The apparent equivalents (as compared with hydrogen peroxide) are much lower than usual but, in the presence of excess hydrogen peroxide, the titre due to the organic peroxide is proportional to its original concentration. This forms the basis of a simple titration method which, though empirical, is both rapid and accurate. Since t-butyl hydroperoxide does not react in this way, it may be possible to differentiate the higher peroxides from lower peroxides.     

Formation of a Criegee intermediate in the low-temperature oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is the major sulfur-containing constituent of the Marine Boundary Layer. It is a significant source of H2SO4 aerosol/particles and methane sulfonic acid via atmospheric oxidation processes, where the mechanism is not established. In this study, several new, low-temperature pathways are revealed in the oxidation of DMSO using CBS-QB3 and G3MP2 multilevel and B3LYP hybrid density functional quantum chemical methods. Unlike analogous hydrocarbon peroxy radicals the chemically activated DMSO peroxy radical, [CH3S(=O)CH2OO*]*, predominantly undergoes simple dissociation to a methylsulfinyl radical CH3S*(=O) and a Criegee intermediate, CH2OO, with the barrier to dissociation 11.3 kcal mol(-1) below the energy of the CH3S(=O)CH2* + O2 reactants. The well depth for addition of O2 to the CH3S(=O)CH2 precursor radical is 29.6 kcal mol(-1) at the CBS-QB3 level of theory. We believe that this reaction may serve an important role in atmospheric photochemical and irradiated biological (oxygen-rich) media where formation of initial radicals is facilitated even at lower temperatures. The Criegee intermediate (carbonyl oxide, peroxymethylene) and sulfinyl radical can further decompose, resulting in additional chain branching. A second reaction channel important for oxidation processes includes formation (via intramolecular H atom transfer) and further decomposition of hydroperoxide methylsulfoxide radical, *CH2S(=O)CH2OOH over a low barrier of activation. The initial H-transfer reaction is similar and common in analogous hydrocarbon radical + O2 reactions; but the subsequent very low (3-6 kcal mol(-1)) barrier (14 kcal mol(-1) below the initial reagents) to beta-scission products is not common in HC systems. The low energy reaction of the hydroperoxide radical is a beta-scission elimination of *CH2S(=O)CH2OOH into the CH2=S=O + CH2O + *OH product set. This beta-scission barrier is low, because of the delocalization of the *CH2 radical center through the -S(=O) group, to the -CH2OOH fragment in the transition state structure. The hydroperoxide methylsulfoxide radical can also decompose via a second reaction channel of intramolecular OH migration, yielding formaldehyde and a sulfur-centered hydroxymethylsulfinyl radical HOCH2S*(=O). The barrier of activation relative to initial reagents is 4.2 kcal mol(-1). Heats of formation for DMSO, DMSO carbon-centered radical and Criegee intermediate are evaluated at 298 K as -35.97 +/- 0.05, 13.0 +/- 0.2 and 25.3 +/- 0.7 kcal mol(-1) respectively using isodesmic reaction analysis. The [CH3S*(=O) + CH2OO] product set is shown to form a van der Waals complex that results in O-atom transfer reaction and the formation of new products CH3SO2* radical and CH2O. Proper orientation of the Criegee intermediate and methylsulfinyl radical, as a pre-stabilized pre-reaction complex, assist the process. The DMSO radical reaction is also compared to that of acetonyl radical.     

Base-induced decomposition of alkyl hydroperoxides in the gas phase. Part 3. Kinetics and dynamics in HO- + CH3OOH, C2H5OOH, and tert-C4H9OOH reactions

The E(CO)2 elimination reactions of alkyl hydroperoxides proceed via abstraction of an alpha-hydrogen by a base: X(-) + R(1)R(2)HCOOH --> HX + R(1)R(2)C=O + HO(-). Efficiencies and product distributions for the reactions of the hydroxide anion with methyl, ethyl, and tert-butyl hydroperoxides are studied in the gas phase. On the basis of experiments using three isotopic analogues, HO(-) + CH3OOH, HO(-) + CD3OOH, and H(18)O(-) + CH3OOH, the overall intrinsic reaction efficiency is determined to be 80% or greater. The E(CO)2 decomposition is facile for these methylperoxide reactions, and predominates over competing proton transfer at the hydroperoxide moiety. The CH3CH2OOH reaction displays a similar E(CO)2 reactivity, whereas proton transfer and the formation of HOO(-) are the exclusive pathways observed for (CH3)3COOH, which has no alpha-hydrogen. All results are consistent with the E(CO)2 mechanism, transition state structure, and reaction energy diagrams calculated using the hybrid density functional B3LYP approach. Isotope labeling for HO(-) + CH3OOH also reveals some interaction between H2O and HO(-) within the E(CO)2 product complex [H2O...CH2=O...HO(-)]. There is little evidence, however, for the formation of the most exothermic products H2O + CH2(OH)O(-), which would arise from nucleophilic condensation of CH2=O and HO(-). The results suggest that the product dynamics are not totally statistical but are rather direct after the E(CO)2 transition state. The larger HO(-) + CH3CH2OOH system displays more statistical behavior during complex dissociation.
