The effects of ultrasound frequency and power on the activation energy in Si-KOH reaction system

The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required to initiate a reaction. It is one of the important indexes for appraising a reaction. The chemical reaction rate is closely related to the value of activation energy, and reducing activation energy is propitious to promoting a chemical reaction. In the present paper, the relationship between the activation energy in Si-KOH reaction system and the ultrasound frequency and power has been discussed for the first time. The range of ultrasound frequency and power is 40-100kHz （interval by 20kHz） and 10-50W （interval by 10W）, respectively. The experimental clata indicate that the activation energy decreases with the increasing ultrasound power. Comparing with the activation energy without ultrasound irradiation, the results in our paper indicate that ultrasound irradiation could reduce the activation energy in Si-KOH reaction system and increase the reaction rate.

Theoretical Study on the Reaction Mechanism of F2 ＋ 2HBr = 2HF ＋ Br2

1 INTRODUCTION The replacement reactions between halide and hy- drogen halide, or halide and halide are basic reac- tions in chemistry. Goldfinger et al. have speculated by experiment that the gas reaction between chlorine and hydrogen bromide might be a two-step intermo- lecular reaction[1, 2]. But gas reactions between other halides and hydrogen halides haven’t been reported experimentally so far.

Theoretical study of the thermal unimolecular rearrangement of fluoroethylidenes

The thermal unimolecular isomerization of fluoroethylidenes to the corresponding fluoroethylenes has been studied by the MNDO method. It has been shown that fluorine substitution on the carbene carbon increases the activation energy in comparison with the ethylidene rearrangement. To understand the reason for this increase in the activation energy, the charge-transfer effects have been analyzed. Fluorine substitution at other positions does not significantly affect the activation energies. The thermodynamic parameters for the reaction have been evaluated, using vibrational and rotational spectral data calculated in this work. RRKM calculations have been performed and high-pressure Arrhenius parameters calculated. Hydrogen–deuterium kinetic isotope effects indicate that the reaction rates are altered considerably on isotopic substitution, and the change in reaction rates depends upon the position of deuterium substitution, as well as on the number of hydrogens replaced by deuterium atoms. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Theoretical study of the reaction of Sc with SCO in gas phase

In order to elucidate the mechanism of reaction M⁺ + SCO, both triplet and singlet potential energy surfaces (PESs) for the reaction of Sc⁺ + SCO have been theoretically investigated using the DFT (B3LYP/6-311+G*) level of theory. The geometries for reactants, intermediates, transition states and products were completely optimized. All the transition states were verified by the vibrational analysis and the intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations. The involving potential energy curve-crossing dramatically affects reaction mechanism, reaction rate has been discussed, and the crossing points (CPs) have been localized by the approach suggested by Yoshizawa et al. The present results show that the reaction mechanism are insertion–elimination mechanism both along the C–S and C–O bond activation branches, but the C–S bond activation is much more favorable in energy than the C–O bond activation. All theoretical results not only support the existing conclusions inferred from early experiment, but also complement the pathway and mechanism for this reaction.     

High-pressure reactivity of propene

The phase diagram of propene has been investigated at high pressure by using the diamond anvil cell technique and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The pressure conditions necessary to induce a spontaneous reaction of the sample have been found at different temperatures, allowing the stability boundary of propene to be drawn. The reaction is diffusion controlled and seems to occur only in the fluid phase, implying a slope inversion of the stability boundary at about 250 K. The product of the reaction is a mixture of linear oligomers independently of the P-T conditions. The activation volume and energy of the process have been obtained from the kinetic data. Also the activation of the reaction by laser absorption has been carefully studied. A high proton mobility has been identified as the likely reason that limits the lengthening of the chain up to six to eight monomeric units preventing the polymer formation.     

The mechanism of H2 activation by (amino)carbenes

We have computationally investigated the mechanism of the H(2) activation reaction by (amino)carbenes compounds. Describing the electronic activity taking place during the reaction through the Reaction Electronic Flux, it has been possible to elucidate the mechanism of the hydrogen activation process and assign the energetic cost associated to every chemical event that drives the process along the reaction coordinate; this is crucial information to rationalize the reported experimental results. It has been observed that the substituent effect may induce early charge-transfer phenomena that increases the energy barrier and lowers the exothermicity of the reaction. Reversibility of the process is discussed in light of specific interactions defining the components of the reverse activation energy.

DFT study on the selective oxidation of vinyl chloride on different metal surfaces

Selective epoxidation of vinyl chloride on Ag(111), Pt(111) and Rh(111) with pre-adsorbed atomic oxygen has been studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculation with the periodic slab model. The reaction energies and activation energies of the epoxidation reaction are determined. Because of the asymmetry of vinyl chloride, three competitive reaction pathways are investigated. The results indicate that the most possible reaction pathway is pathway III. Compared the activation energies of the epoxidation reaction on Ag(111), Pt(111) and Rh(111), it is obvious that the reaction via OMMC(3) on Ag(111) is the most possible process. However, the selectivity to the target product over Ag(111) is the lowest among the three metals. The results also indicate that the formation of chloroacetaldehyde is more favorable than that of chloroepoxide.     

Thermokinetics of the Formation Reaction of Zinc Histidine Complex

The enthalph change of reaction of zinc chloride with L-α-histidine in the temperature range of 25-50℃ has been determined by a microcalorimeter.On the basis of experimental and calculated results,three thermodynamics parameters (the activation enthalpy,the activation entropy,the activation free energy),the rate constant and three kinetic parameters (the activation energy,the pre-exponential constant and the reaction order) of the reaction,and the standard enthalpy of formation of Zn(His)^2 (aq.) are obtained.The results showed that the title reaction easily took place at the studied temperature.     

Effect of pre-covered oxygen on the dehydrogenation reactions over copper surface: a density functional theory study

Dehydrogenation of five species including CH3OH, CH3O, H2COO, NH3, and H2O over clean and oxygen-modified copper surfaces has been investigated by the first-principle density functional calculations within the generalized gradient approximation. The reaction enthalpies and the activation energies have been calculated for 10 elementary steps corresponding to the direct and oxygen-assisted cleavage of X-H bonds (X = O, N, C). The DFT-GGA results showed that the pre-adsorbed oxygen always facilitates the dehydrogenation reaction by decreasing the reaction enthalpies and the activation energies. The obtained results are in general agreement with experimental observations.     

Development of porosity in a char during reaction with steam or supercritical water

Two series of activated carbon have been prepared by reaction of a char (from olive stones) with supercritical water (SCW) with the objective of studying the effect of temperature and residence time on the development of porosity. The results have been compared with those obtained using the same char but with classical activation with steam. Both procedures develop porosity, but (i) the reaction rate is critical in the development of porosity for steam but not for SCW activation, and (ii) SCW activation produces a larger development of microporosity at low degrees of burnoff, whereas steam produces more meso- and macroporosity. The differences have been explained by assuming that the mechanism for the carbon-water reaction is common but the transport properties of water in the supercritical state are more favorable to facilitate the access of water to the interior of the char particles. In contrast, when steam is used for the activation of the char, the diffusion of the molecules cannot keep up with the chemical rate and, consequently, the reaction is preferentially taking place at the most accessible surface sites, thus facilitating the development of larger pores and the widening of microporosity.

Theoretical investigation on the mechanism of the CuI-catalyzed carbon-nitrogen coupling reaction of 2-iodo-selenophene with benzamide

The mechanism of the carbon-nitrogen coupling reaction of 2-iodo-selenophene with benzamide catalyzed by CuI has been investigated with density functional theory at the GGA/PW91/DND and GGA/PBE/DNP levels. The geometric configurations of the reactants, intermediates, transition states, and products were optimized and verified by means of vibration frequency calculations. A four-step mechanism was proposed for the reaction. The first step was the rate-control step. Two possible pathways in the fourth step were investigated, and the main pathway was identified by comparing their activation and dissociation energies. For comparison, the same calculations were performed to the reaction without the CuI activator. The activation barrier with CuI is 76 kJ mol(-1) smaller than that without CuI. It turns out that CuI can promote the reaction by lowering the activation energy. Our calculations reveal the crucial role of CuI in the reaction and agree well with experimental findings.
