Theoretical Study on Electron Transfer Matrix Element in Oxidation of α—Amino Carbon—Centered Radical by O2

As a successive work of our previous paper,^1the electron transfer matrix element(Vrp)in the oxidation of the simplified model molecule of α-amino carbon-centered radical by O2 has been investigated with ab initio calculation at the level of UHF/6-31 G**.Based on the optimized geometries of the reactgant and the ion-pair complex obtained previously,the reaction heat and the iuner reorganization energy have been obtained by constructing the potential energy curves of reactant and product states considering the solvent effect with the conductor-like screening model(COSMO).The solvent reorganization energy has been estimated using Lippert-Mataga relationship.The calculated results show that the value of Vrp is several times larger than that of RT,which means that the model reaction is an adiabatic one.Theoretical investigation indicates that the solvent effect on the direct electron transfer (ET) process of oxidation of α-amino carbon-centered radical by oxygen is remarkable.

Theoretical Study on the NO2＋NO2^— Electron Transfer Reaction

The NO2 NO2^- electron transfer reaction was studied with DFT-B3LYP method at 6-311 G^* basis set level for the eight selected structures:four species favor the structure of “head to head”.The geometry of transition state was obtained by the linear corrdinate method.Three parameters,non-adiabatic activation energy(Ead),coupling matrix element(Hif) and reorganization energy(λ) for electron transfer reaction can be calculated.According to the reorganization energy of the ET reaction,the values obtained from George-Griffith-Marcus (GGM) method(the contribution only from diagonal elements of force constant matrix) are larger than those obtained from Hessian matrix method(including the contribution from both diagonal and off-diagonal elements), which suggests that the coupling interactions between different vibrational modes are important to the inner-sphere reorganization energy for the ET reactions in gaseous phase.The value of rate constant was obtained by using above three activation parameters.

Hybrid Functional and Plane Waves based Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Study of the Aqueous Fe2+/Fe3+ Redox Reaction**

Kohn-Sham density functional theory and plane wave basis set based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation is a powerful tool for studying complex reactions in solutions, such as electron transfer (ET) reactions involving Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ ions in water. In most cases, such simulations are performed using density functionals at the level of Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA). The challenge in modelling ET reactions is the poor quality of GGA functionals in predicting properties of such open-shell systems due to the inevitable self-interaction error (SIE). While hybrid functionals can minimize SIE, standard plane-wave based AIMD at that level of theory is typically 150 times slower than GGA for systems containing ∼100 atoms. Among several approaches reported to speed-up AIMD simulations with hybrid functionals, the noise-stabilized MD (NSMD) procedure, together with the use of localized orbitals to compute the required exchange integrals, is an attractive option. In this work, we demonstrate the application of the NSMD approach for studying the Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ redox reaction in water. It is shown here that long AIMD trajectories at the level of hybrid density functionals can be obtained using this approach. Redox properties of the aqueous Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ system computed from these simulations are compared with the available experimental data for validation.     

Electron transfer NO 2 + +NO→N02+NO+ in aromatic nitration

A simple model for computing the electron transfer rate constant of a cross-reaction has been proposed in the framework of semiclassical theory and employed to investigate the electron transfer system NO ₂ ⁺ /NO. The encounter complex of electron transfer NO ₂ ⁺ +NO→N0₂+NO⁺ has been optimized at the level of UHF/6-31G. In the construction of diabatic potential energy surfaces the linear coordinate was used and the kinetic quantities, such as the activation energies and the electron transfer matrix elements, have been obtained. For comparison, the related selfexchange reactlon systems NO ₂ ⁺ /NO₂ and NO⁺/NO were kinetically investigated. The calculated activation energies for the electron transfer reactions of systems NO ₂ ⁺ /NO, NO ₂ ⁺ /NO₂, and NO⁺/NO are 81.4, 128.8, and 39.8 kJ.mol^-1, respectively. With the solvent effect taken into account, the contribution of solvent reorganization to the activation energy has been estimated according to the geometric parameters of the transition states. The obtained rate constants show that the activity of NO ₂ ⁺ as an oxidizing reagent in the aromatic nitration will be greatly decreased due to a high activation barrier contributed mainly from the change of bond angle ONO.
