Solid methane (CH(4)), ethane (C(2)H(6)), and ethylene (C(2)H(4)) ices (thickness: 120 ± 40 nm; 10 K), as well as high-density polyethylene (HDPE: [C(2)H(4)](n)) films (thickness: 130 ± 20 nm; 10, 100, and 300 K), were irradiated with mono-energetic oxygen ions (Φ ~ 6 × 10(15) cm(-2)) of a kinetic energy of 5 keV to simulate the exposure of Solar System hydrocarbon ices and aerospace polymers to oxygen ions sourced from the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres. On-line Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to identify the following O(+) induced reaction pathways in the solid-state: (i) ethane formation from methane ice via recombination of methyl (CH(3)) radicals, (ii) ethane conversion back to methane via methylene (CH(2)) retro-insertion, (iii) ethane decomposing to acetylene via ethylene through successive hydrogen elimination steps, and (iv) ethylene conversion to acetylene via hydrogen elimination. No changes were observed in the irradiated PE samples via infrared spectroscopy. In addition, mass spectrometry detected small abundances of methanol (CH(3)OH) sublimed from the irradiated methane and ethane condensates during controlled heating. The detection of methanol suggests an implantation and neutralization of the oxygen ions within the surface where atomic oxygen (O) then undergoes insertion into a C-H bond of methane. Atomic hydrogen (H) recombination in forming molecular hydrogen and recombination of implanted oxygen atoms to molecular oxygen (O(2)) are also inferred to proceed at high cross-sections. A comparison of the reaction rates and product yields to those obtained from experiments involving 5 keV electrons, suggests that the chemical alteration of the hydrocarbon ice samples is driven primarily by electronic stopping interactions and to a lesser extent by nuclear interactions. 相似文献

In order to investigate the chemical reactions inside water-oxygen ice mixtures in extreme environments, and to confirm the proposed reaction mechanisms in pure water ice, we conducted a detailed infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry study on the electron irradiation of H(2)(18)O/O(2) ice mixtures. The formation of molecular hydrogen, isotopically substituted oxygen molecules (18)O(18)O and (16)O(18)O, ozone ((16)O(16)O(16)O, (16)O(16)O(18)O, and (16)O(18)O(16)O), hydrogen peroxide (H(18)O(18)OH, H(16)O(16)OH and H(16)O(18)OH), hydrotrioxy (HOOO), and dihydrogentrioxide (HOOOH) were detected. Kinetic models and reaction mechanisms are proposed to form these molecules in water and oxygen-rich solar system ices. 相似文献

We investigated the irradiation of low temperature H(2)(18)O/N(2) ice mixtures with energetic electrons in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber. The newly formed species, such as nitric oxide (N(18)O), nitrous oxide (NN(18)O), hydrogen peroxide (H(2)(18)O(2)) and hydrazine (N(2)H(4)), were identified in the experiments with infrared absorption spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The results suggest that the unimolecular decomposition of water molecules within water ices at 10 K can lead to the formation of transient, suprathermal oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms may play an important role in the formation of oxygen-containing biomolecules such as amino acids and sugar, as well as the decomposition of the biomolecules in the ices. 相似文献

The exposure of icy Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) by ionizing radiation was simulated in this case of exposing carbon monoxide-nitrogen (CO-N(2)) ices by energetic electrons. The radiation-induced chemical processing was monitored on-line and in situ via FTIR spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometry. Besides the array of carbon oxides being reproduced as in neat irradiated carbon monoxide (CO) ices studied previously, the radiation exposure at 10 K resulted in the formation of nitrogen-bearing species of isocyanato radical (OCN), linear (l-NCN), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)), plus diazirinone (N(2)CO). The infrared assignments of these species were further confirmed by isotopic shifts. The temporal evolution of individual species was found to fit in first-order reaction schemes, prepping up the underlying non-equilibrium chemistry on the formation of OCN, l-NCN, and NO radicals in particular. Also unique to the binary KBO model ices and viable for the future remote detection is diazirinone (N(2)CO) at 1860 cm(-1) (2ν(5)) formed at lower radiation exposure. 相似文献

Ultraviolet irradiation, which is environment friendly and without any chemical pollution, was used to functionalize high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and to improve the interfacial interaction of its composites with sericite in this study. The oxygen‐containing groups of C?O, C‐O, and C(?O)O were quickly introduced onto molecular chains of HDPE by ultraviolet irradiation in ozone atmosphere and the contents of the introduced oxygen‐containing groups increased with increasing the modification time. It is important to note that the irradiation time greatly decreased compared to that in air or oxygen atmosphere. After modification, the molecular weight of the irradiated HDPE decreased and its distribution became wider. The irradiated HDPE in ozone was not crosslinked, which is an advantage over the same reaction in air or oxygen atmosphere. With increasing the irradiation time, the melting temperature of the irradiated HDPE lightly decreased, while its crystallinity, hydrophilicity, and fluidity increased. The composites of HDPE/sericite were prepared. The results showed that the dispersion of sericite in the matrix and the interfacial interaction of sericite with the matrix were markedly improved for the irradiated HDPE/sericite composites. As a result, the irradiated HDPE/sericite composites showed significantly increased tensile yield strength and notched impact strength. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Laser desorption/ionisation and laser ablation of solid selenium trioxide, as well as the gas-phase behaviour of selenium trioxide, were studied. Selenium trioxide undergoes photochemical decomposition and, from the mass spectra obtained by laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LDI-TOF-MS), the following species were identified: O-, O2-, O3-, SeO-, SeO2-, SeO3-, SeO4-, Se2O7-, Se3O11-, and Se4O14-. Formation of the selenium superoxide SeO4- anion is described in this work for the first time. In addition, low-abundance selenium species such as Se2O8H2-, Se3O11H-, and Se4O15H2- were also detected. The stoichiometry of all ions was confirmed via isotopic pattern modeling and/or post-source decay (PSD) analysis. Photolysis of selenium trioxide leads partly to ozone formation. It was found that the most likely mechanisms of selenium superoxide formation are oxidation of selenium trioxide with ozone and/or reactive oxygen radicals, or photolysis of selenium trioxide tetramer (SeO3)4. Therefore, ab initio calculations were performed to support the mass spectrometric evidence and to suggest probable geometries for selenium superoxide anion SeO4- and diselenium superoxide anion Se2O7-, as well as to provide insight into and/or predict possible formation pathways. It has been found that both cyclic and non-cyclic peroxide structures of SeO4- and Se2O7- ions are possible. In addition, the SeO4 structure was also calculated guided by thermodynamic considerations using Gaussian-2 methodology, and the inferred stability of the SeO4 neutral molecule was supported by ab initio calculations. 相似文献

Room-temperature rate coefficients and product distributions are reported for the reactions of ozone with the cations and dications of the alkaline-earth metals Ca, Sr, and Ba. The measurements were performed with a selected-ion flow tube (SIFT) tandem mass spectrometer in conjunction with either an electrospray (ESI) or an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) ionization source. All the singly charged species react with ozone by O-atom transfer and form monoxide cations rapidly, k = 4.8, 6.7, and 8.7 x 10(-10) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1) for the reactions of Ca+, Sr+, and Ba+, respectively. Further sequential O-atom transfer occurs to form dioxide and trioxide cations. The efficiencies for all O-atom transfer reactions are greater than 10%. The data also signify the catalytic conversion of ozone to oxygen with the alkaline-earth metal and metal oxide cations serving as catalysts. Ca2+ reacts rapidly with O3 by charge separation to form CaO+ and O2+ with a rate coefficient of k = 1.5 x 10(-9) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1). In contrast, the reactions of Sr2+ and Ba2+ are found to be slow and add O3, (k >/= 1.1 x 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1). The initial additions are followed by the rapid sequential addition of up to five O3 molecules with values of k between 1 and 5 x 10(-10) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1). Metal/ozone cluster ions as large as Sr2+(O3)5 and Ba2+(O3)4 were observed for the first time. 相似文献

The course of the reaction of electronically and vibronically excited metastable O(2) (+)((4)Pi(u), nu') ions with O(2), known to produce O(3) (+), was examined by the joint application of computational and mass spectrometric methods. The results show that the reaction does not proceed by a direct mechanism and that it involves instead the intermediacy of the [O(2) (+)((4)Pi(u)) x O(2)] and [O(3) (+)((4)A(2)) x O] complexes, both theoretically characterized, and the latter one positively identified by structurally diagnostic mass spectrometric techniques. The reaction is a potential source of stratospheric ozone, in that O(3) (+) ions are known to undergo efficient charge exchange with oxygen to yield neutral O(3). 相似文献

CO-NH(3) and CO-NH(3)-H(2)O ices at 25-130 K were bombarded by (252)Cf fission fragments ( approximately 65 MeV at the target surface) and the emitted secondary ions were analyzed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). It is observed that the mass spectra obtained from both ices have similar patterns. The production of hybrid ions (formed from CO and NH(3) molecules) emitted from CO-NH(3) ice has already been reported by R. Martinez et al., Int. J. Mass. Spectrom. 262 (2006) 195; here, the secondary ion emission and the modifications of the CO--NH(3) ice structure during the temperature increase of the ice are addressed. These studies are expected to throw light on the sputtering from planetary and interstellar ices and the possible formation of new organic molecules in CO-NH(3)-H(2)O ice by megaelectronvolt ion bombardment. The presence of water in the CO-NH(3) ice mixture generates molecular ion series such as (NH(3))(p-q)(H(2)O)(q)CO(+) and replaces the cluster series (NH(3))(n)NH(4) (+) emission by the hybrid series (NH(3))(I-i)(H(2)O)(i=1, 2...I)H(+). The distribution of NH(3) and H(2)O molecules within the cluster groups indicates that ammonia and water mix homogeneously in the icy condensate at T = 25 K. The desorption yield distribution of the cluster series (NH(3))(n)NH(4) (+) is described by the sum of two exponential functions: one, slow-decreasing, attributed to the fragmentation of the solid target into clusters; and another, fast-decreasing, due to a local sublimation followed by recombination of ammonia molecules. The analysis of the time-temperature dependence of these two yield components gives information on the formation process of molecular ions, the transient composition of the ice target and structural changes of the ice. Data suggest that the amorphous and porous structure of the NH(3) ice, formed by the condensation of the CO--NH(3) gas at T = 25 K, survives CO sublimation until the occurrence of a phase transition around 80 K, which produces a more fragile ice structure. 相似文献

Mechanisms for the electron-induced degradation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and Kapton polyimide (PMDA-ODA), both of which are commonly used in aerospace applications, were examined over a temperature range of 10 K to 300 K under ultra high vacuum (~10(-11) Torr). The experiments were designed to simulate the interaction between the polymer materials and secondary electrons produced by interaction with galactic cosmic ray particles in the near-Earth space environment. Chemical alterations of the samples were monitored on line and in situ by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry during irradiation with 5 keV electrons and also prior and after the irradiation exposure via UV-vis. The irradiation-induced degradation of PMMA resulted in the formation and unimolecular decomposition of methyl carboxylate radicals (CH(3)OCO) forming carbon monoxide (k = 4.60 × 10(-3) s(-1)) and carbon dioxide (k = 1.29 × 10(-3) s(-1)). Temperature dependent gas-phase abundances for carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and molecular hydrogen were also obtained for the PMMA and Kapton samples. The lower gas yields detected for irradiated Kapton were typically one or two orders of magnitude less than PMMA suggesting a higher degradation resistance to energetic electrons. In addition, UV-vis spectroscopy revealed the propagation of conjugated bonds induced by the irradiation of PMMA and indicated a decrease in the optical band gap by an increase in absorbance above 500 nm in irradiated Kapton. 相似文献

Silicon ions are generated in the Earth's upper atmosphere by hyperthermal collisions of material ablated from incoming meteoroids with atmospheric molecules, and from charge transfer of silicon-bearing neutral species with major atmospheric ions. Reported Si(+) number density vs. height profiles show a sharp decrease below 95 km, which has been commonly attributed to the fast reaction with H(2)O. Here we report rate coefficients and branching ratios of the reactions of Si(+) and SiO(+) with O(3), measured using a flow tube with a laser ablation source and detection of ions by quadrupole mass spectrometry. The results obtained are (2σ uncertainty): k(Si(+) + O(3), 298 K) = (6.5 ± 2.1) × 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), with three product channels (branching ratios): SiO(+) + O(2) (0.52 ± 0.24), SiO + O(2)(+) (0.48 ± 0.24), and SiO(2)(+) + O (<0.1); k(SiO(+) + O(3), 298 K) = (6 ± 4) × 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), where the major products (branching ratio ≥ 0.95) are SiO(2) + O(2)(+). Reactions (1) and (2) therefore have the unusual ability to neutralise silicon directly, as well as forming molecular ions which can undergo dissociative recombination with electrons. These reactions, along with the recently reported reaction between Si(+) and O(2)((1)Δ(g)), largely explain the disappearance of Si(+) below 95 km in the atmosphere, relative to other major meteoric ions such as Fe(+) and Mg(+). The rate coefficient of the Si(+) + O(2) + He reaction was measured to be k(298 K) = (9.0±1.3) × 10(-30) cm(6) molecule(-2) s(-1), in agreement with previous measurements. The SiO(2)(+) species produced from this reaction, which could be vibrationally excited, is observed to charge transfer at a relatively slow rate with O(2), with a rate constant of k(298 K) = (1.5 ± 1.0) × 10(-13) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). 相似文献

We report a very low density ( approximately 0.5 g/cm(3)) structure of solid ozone. It is produced by irradiation of solid oxygen with 100 keV protons at 20 K followed by heating to sublime unconverted oxygen. Upon heating to 47 K the porous ozone compacts to a density of approximately 1.6 g/cm(3) and crystallizes. We use a detailed analysis of the main infrared absorption band of the porous ozone to interpret previous research, where solid oxygen was irradiated by UV light and keV electrons. 相似文献

The formation of six ozone isotopomers and isotopologues, (16)O(16)O(16)O, (18)O(18)O(18)O, (16)O(16)O(18)O, (18)O(18)O(16)O, (16)O(18)O(16)O, and (18)O(16)O(18)O, has been studied in electron-irradiated solid oxygen (16)O(2) and (18)O(2) (1?∶?1) ices at 11 K. Significant isotope effects were found to exist which involved enrichment of (18)O-bearing ozone molecules. The heavy (18)O(18)O(18)O species is formed with a factor of about six higher than the corresponding (16)O(16)O(16)O isotopologue. Likewise, the heavy (18)O(18)O(16)O species is formed with abundances of a factor of three higher than the lighter (16)O(16)O(18)O counterpart. No isotope effect was observed in the production of (16)O(18)O(16)O versus(18)O(16)O(18)O. Such studies on the formation of distinct ozone isotopomers and isotopologues involving non-thermal, non-equilibrium chemistry by irradiation of oxygen ices with high energy electrons, as present in the magnetosphere of the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn, may suggest that similar mechanisms may contribute to the (18)O enrichment on the icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn such as Ganymede, Rhea, and Dione. In such a Solar System environment, energetic particles from the magnetospheres of the giant planets may induce non-equilibrium reactions of suprathermal and/or electronically excited atoms under conditions, which are quite distinct from isotopic enrichments found in classical, thermal gas phase reactions. 相似文献

Reactions between Mg(+) and O(3), O(2), N(2), CO(2) and N(2)O were studied using the pulsed laser photo-dissociation at 193 nm of Mg(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2) vapour, followed by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence of Mg(+) at 279.6 nm (Mg(+)(3(2)P(3/2)-3(2)S(1/2))). The rate coefficient for the reaction Mg(+) + O(3) is at the Langevin capture rate coefficient and independent of temperature, k(190-340 K) = (1.17 ± 0.19) × 10(-9) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) (1σ error). The reaction MgO(+) + O(3) is also fast, k(295 K) = (8.5 ± 1.5) × 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), and produces Mg(+) + 2O(2) with a branching ratio of (0.35 ± 0.21), the major channel forming MgO(2)(+) + O(2). Rate data for Mg(+) recombination reactions yielded the following low-pressure limiting rate coefficients: k(Mg(+) + N(2)) = 2.7 × 10(-31) (T/300 K)(-1.88); k(Mg(+) + O(2)) = 4.1 × 10(-31) (T/300 K)(-1.65); k(Mg(+) + CO(2)) = 7.3 × 10(-30) (T/300 K)(-1.59); k(Mg(+) + N(2)O) = 1.9 × 10(-30) (T/300 K)(-2.51) cm(6) molecule(-2) s(-1), with 1σ errors of ±15%. Reactions involving molecular Mg-containing ions were then studied at 295 K by the pulsed laser ablation of a magnesite target in a fast flow tube, with mass spectrometric detection. Rate coefficients for the following ligand-switching reactions were measured: k(Mg(+)·CO(2) + H(2)O → Mg(+)·H(2)O + CO(2)) = (5.1 ± 0.9) × 10(-11); k(MgO(2)(+) + H(2)O → Mg(+)·H(2)O + O(2)) = (1.9 ± 0.6) × 10(-11); k(Mg(+)·N(2) + O(2)→ Mg(+)·O(2) + N(2)) = (3.5 ± 1.5) × 10(-12) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). Low-pressure limiting rate coefficients were obtained for the following recombination reactions in He: k(MgO(2)(+) + O(2)) = 9.0 × 10(-30) (T/300 K)(-3.80); k(Mg(+)·CO(2) + CO(2)) = 2.3 × 10(-29) (T/300 K)(-5.08); k(Mg(+)·H(2)O + H(2)O) = 3.0 × 10(-28) (T/300 K)(-3.96); k(MgO(2)(+) + N(2)) = 4.7 × 10(-30) (T/300 K)(-3.75); k(MgO(2)(+) + CO(2)) = 6.6 × 10(-29) (T/300 K)(-4.18); k(Mg(+)·H(2)O + O(2)) = 1.2 × 10(-27) (T/300 K)(-4.13) cm(6) molecule(-2) s(-1). The implications of these results for magnesium ion chemistry in the atmosphere are discussed. 相似文献

Vibrational relaxation of O2(X 3sigma(g)-, upsilon=2,3) by O2 molecules is studied via a two-laser approach. Laser radiation at 266 nm photodissociates ozone in a mixture of molecular oxygen and ozone. The photolysis step produces vibrationally excited O2(a 1delta(g)) that is rapidly converted to O2(X 3sigma(g)-, upsilon=2,3) in a near-resonant adiabatic electronic energy-transfer process involving collisions with ground-state O2. The output of a tunable 193-nm ArF laser monitors the temporal evolution of the O2(X 3sigma(g)-, upsilon=2,3) population via laser-induced fluorescence detected near 360 nm. The rate coefficients for the vibrational relaxation of O2(X 3sigma(g)-, upsilon=2,3) in collision with O2 are 2.0(-0.4)(+0.6) x 10(-13) cm3 s(-1) and (2.6+/-0.4) x 10(-13) cm3 s(-1), respectively. These rate coefficients agree well with other experimental work but are significantly larger than those produced by various semiclassical theoretical calculations. 相似文献

Reactions of laser-ablated rhodium and cobalt atoms with carbon dioxide molecules in solid argon and neon have been investigated using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy. The OMCO, O2MCO, OMCO(-) (M = Rh, Co), OCo2CO, and OCoCO(+) molecules have been formed and characterized on the basis of isotopic shifts, mixed isotopic splitting patterns, ultraviolet irradiation, CCl4-doping experiments, and the change of laser power. Density functional theory calculations have been performed on these products. The overall agreement between the experimental and calculated vibrational frequencies, relative absorption intensities, and isotopic shifts supports the identification of these products from the matrix infrared spectrum. 相似文献

A series of gas-phase reactions involving molecular Ca-containing ions was studied by the pulsed laser ablation of a calcite target to produce Ca(+) in a fast flow of He, followed by the addition of reagents downstream and detection of ions by quadrupole mass spectrometry. Most of the reactions that were studied are important for describing the chemistry of meteor-ablated calcium in the earth's upper atmosphere. The following rate coefficients were measured: k(CaO(+) + O --> Ca(+) + O(2)) = (4.2 +/- 2.8) x 10(-11) at 197 K and (6.3 +/- 3.0) x 10(-11) at 294 K; k(CaO(+) + CO --> Ca(+) + CO(2), 294 K) = (2.8 +/- 1.5) x 10(-10); k(Ca(+).CO(2) + O(2) --> CaO(2)(+) + CO(2), 294 K) = (1.2 +/- 0.5) x10(-10); k(Ca(+).CO(2) + H(2)O --> Ca(+).H(2)O + CO(2)) = (13.0 +/- 4.0) x 10(-10); and k(Ca(+).H(2)O + O(2) --> CaO(2)(+) + H(2)O, 294 K) = (4.0 +/- 2.5) x 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). The quoted uncertainties are a combination of the 1sigma standard errors in the kinetic data and the systematic errors in the models used to extract the rate coefficients. Rate coefficients were also obtained for the following recombination (also termed association) reactions in He bath gas: k(Ca(+).CO(2) + CO(2) --> Ca(+).(CO(2))(2), 294 K) = (2.6 +/- 1.0) x 10(-29); k(Ca(+).H(2)O + H(2)O --> Ca(+).(H(2)O)(2)) = (1.6 +/- 1.1) x 10(-27); and k(CaO(2)(+) + O(2) --> CaO(2)(+).O(2)) < 1 x 10(-31) cm(6) molecule(-2) s(-1). These recombination rate coefficients, as well as those for the ligand-switching reactions listed above, were then interpreted using a combination of high level quantum chemistry calculations and RRKM theory using an inverse Laplace transform solution of the master equation. The surprisingly slow reaction between CaO(+) and O was explained using quantum chemistry calculations on the lowest (2)A', (2)A' and (4)A' potential energy surfaces. These calculations indicate that reaction mostly occurs on the (2)A' surface, leading to production of Ca(+)((2)S) + O(2)((1)Delta(g)). The importance of this reaction for controlling the lifetime of Ca(+) in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere is then discussed. 相似文献

Unimolecular metastable decomposition of diethoxymethane (CH(2)(OCH(2)CH(3))(2), 1) upon electron impact has been investigated by means of mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy (MIKE) spectrometry and theD-labeling technique in conjunction with thermochemistry. The m/z 103 ion ([M - H](+) : CH(OCH(2)CH(3)) = O(+)CH(2)CH(3)) decomposes into the m/z 47 ion (protonated formic acid, CH(OH) = O(+)H) by consecutive losses of two C(2)H(4) molecules via an m/z 75 ion. The resulting product ion at m/z 47 further decomposes into the m/z 29 and 19 ions by losses of H(2)O and CO, respectively, via an 1,3-hydroxyl hydrogen transfer, accompanied by small kinetic energy release (KER) values of 1.3 and 18.8 meV, respectively. When these two elimination reactions are suppressed by a large isotope effect, however, another 1,1-H(2)O elimination with a large KER value (518 meV) is revealed. The m/z 89 ion ([M - CH(3)](+) : CH(2)(OCH(2)CH(3))O(+) = CH(2)) decomposes into the m/z 59 ion (CH(3)CH(2)O(+) = CH(2)) by losing CH(2)O in the metastable time window. The source-generated m/z 59 ion ([M - OCH(2)CH(3)](+) : CH(2) = O(+)CH(2)CH(3)) decomposes into the m/z 41 (CH(2) = CH(+)CH(2)) and m/z 31 (CH(2) = O(+)H) ions by losses of H(2)O and C(2)H(4), respectively, with considerable hydrogen scrambling prior to decomposition.

We investigated theoretically the interaction between methylamine (CH(3)NH(2)) and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) in the presence of water (H(2)O) molecules thus simulating the geometries of various methylamine-carbon dioxide complexes (CH(3)NH(2)/CO(2)) relevant to the chemical processing of icy grains in the interstellar medium (ISM). Two approaches were followed. In the amorphous water phase approach, structures of methylamine-carbon dioxide-water [CH(3)NH(2)/CO(2)/(H(2)O)(n)] clusters (n = 0-20) were studied using density functional theory (DFT). In the crystalline water approach, we simulated methylamine and carbon dioxide interactions on a fragment of the crystalline water ice surface in the presence of additional water molecules in the CH(3)NH(2)/CO(2) environment using DFT and effective fragment potentials (EFP). Both the geometry optimization and vibrational frequency analysis results obtained from these two approaches suggested that the surrounding water molecules which form hydrogen bonds with the CH(3)NH(2)/CO(2) complex draw the carbon dioxide closer to the methylamine. This enables, when two or more water molecules are present, an electron transfer from methylamine to carbon dioxide to form the methylcarbamic acid zwitterion, CH(3)NH(2)(+)CO(2)(-), in which the carbon dioxide is bent. Our calculations show that the zwitterion is formed without involving any electronic excitation on the ground state surface; this structure is only stable in the presence of water, i.e. in a methyl amine-carbon dioxide-water ice. Notably, in the vibrational frequency calculations on the methylcarbamic acid zwitterion and two water molecules we find the carbon dioxide asymmetric stretch is drastically red shifted by 435 cm(-1) to 1989 cm(-1) and the carbon dioxide symmetric stretch becomes strongly infrared active. We discuss how the methylcarbamic acid zwitterion CH(3)NH(2)(+)CO(2)(-) might be experimentally and astronomically identified by its asymmetric CO(2) stretching mode using infrared spectroscopy. 相似文献

Highly charged heavy ion traversal of a biological medium can produce energetic secondary fragment ions. These fragment ions can in turn cause collisional and reactive scattering damage to DNA. Here we report hyperthermal (1-100 eV) scattering of one such fragment ion (N(+)) from biologically relevant sugar molecules D-ribose and 2-deoxy-D-ribose condensed on polycrystalline Pt substrate. The results indicate that N(+) ion scattering at kinetic energies down to 10 eV induces effective decomposition of both sugar molecules and leads to the desorption of abundant cation and anion fragments. Use of isotope-labeled molecules (5-(13)C D-ribose and 1-D D-ribose) partly reveals some site specificity of the fragment origin. Several scattering reactions are also observed. Both ionic and neutral nitrogen atoms abstract carbon from the molecules to form CN(-) anion at energies down to approximately 5 eV. N(+) ions also abstract hydrogen from hydroxyl groups of the molecules to form NH(-) and NH(2) (-) anions. A fraction of OO(-) fragments abstract hydrogen to form OH(-). The formation of H(3)O(+) ions also involves hydrogen abstraction as well as intramolecular proton transfer. These findings suggest a variety of severe damaging pathways to DNA molecules which occur on the picosecond time scale following heavy ion irradiation of a cell, and prior to the late diffusion-limited homogeneous chemical processes. 相似文献
