Cl+CH4反应的电子相关、基组与化学反应性

Using the results of quantum chemistry, thermodynamic and kinetic calculations for this experimentally well studied reaction has been carried out. The adaptability of the computational results of diffrent quantum chemistry schemes (considering electronic correlation or not, and basis size) has been analyzed for the chemical reactivities (thermodynamic functions and kinetic parameters). The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental ones using the larger basis set and considering electronic correlation, but are bad on the contrary. In addition, a set of exact thermodynamic functions and kinetic parameters has been given.     

Theoretical study on the reaction mechanism of (CH3)3CO+CO

The reaction mechanism of (CH₃)₃CO with CO has been theoretically investigated using density-functional theory (DFT) calculations at B3LYP/6-31G* level. In order to get more reliable energy values the single-point energy is evaluated at CCSD (T)/6-31++G** level. The results show that the reaction is multi-channel and the reaction of (CH₃)₃CO radical with CO mostly produces (CH₃)₃C + CO₂. The reaction could play a role in eliminating air pollution.     

Theoretical study of the reaction H + ClCH3 → HCl + CH3

The reaction H + ClCH₃ has theoretically studied in a LEPS potential energy surface with a single-particle approximation for the methyl group. The LEPS adjustable parameters were selected to reach a good agreement with experimental values of activation energy and exothermicity. A wide set of quasi-classical trajectories for that system has been calculated within a energy range covering the significative values of relative velocities at temperatures between 300 and 1000 K. Calculated reactive cross sections increase with translational energy and with the initial vibrational level, but they are not influenced by rotational excitation of the reactants. Microscopic and total reaction rate constants have been obtained within the temperature range and agree quite well with available experimental results. Final energy distribution shows that most of the exoergicity is consumed in increasing the relative velocity of the products, while HCl molecules remain in their vibrational ground state.

Theoretical calculational studies on the mechanism of thermal dissociations for RN3 (R=CH3, CH3CH2, (CH3)2CH, (CH3)3C)

Mechanisms of RN₃ (R=CH₃, CH₃CH₂, (CH₃)₂CH, (CH₃)₃C) dissociations are proposed based on CAS, MP2 and B3LYP methods. The energy gaps between the ground-state reactants RN₃ and the intersystem crossing (ISC) points are only a little lower than respective potential energy barriers of the spin-allowed reactions, ¹RN₃ → ¹RN + ¹N₂. The ISC point, therefore, is considered as a transition state of the spin-forbidden reactions, ¹RN₃ → ³RN + ¹N₂. The methods of IRC and topological analysis of electron density are used to explain and predict the thermal dissociation pathways of the reactions studied.     

Theoretical study on the reaction mechanism of CH4 with CaO

The reaction pathways and energetics for the reaction of methane with CaO are discussed on the singlet spin state potential energy surface at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2df,2p) and QCISD/6-311++G(3df,3pd)//B3LYP/6-311+G(2df,2p) levels of theory. The reaction of methane with CaO is proposed to proceed in the following reaction pathways: CaO + CH₄ → CaOCH₄ → [TS] → CaOH + CH₃, CaO + CH₄ → OCaCH₄ → [TS] → HOCaCH₃ → CaOH + CH₃ or [TS] → CaCH₃OH → Ca + CH₃OH, and OCaCH₄ → [TS] → HCaOCH₃ → CaOCH₃ + H or [TS] → CaCH₃OH → Ca + CH₃OH. The gas-phase methane–methanol conversion by CaO is suggested to proceed via two kinds of important reaction intermediates, HOCaCH₃ and HCaOCH₃, and the reaction pathway via the hydroxy intermediate (HOCaCH₃) is energetically more favorable than the other one via the methoxy intermediate (HCaOCH₃). The hydroxy intermediate HOCaCH₃ is predicted to be the energetically most preferred configuration in the reaction of CaO + CH₄. Meanwhile, these three product channels (CaOH + CH₃, CaOCH₃ + H and Ca + CH₃OH) are expected to compete with each other, and the formation of methyl radical is the most preferable pathway energetically. On the other hand, the intermediates HCaOCH₃ and HOCaCH₃ are predicted to be the energetically preferred configuration in the reaction of Ca + CH₃OH, which is precisely the reverse reaction of methane hydroxylation.     

Ab initio study of some peroxides. HOOH, CH3OOH and, CH3OOCH3

The geometries of HOOH, CH₃OOH, and CH₃OOCH₃, were optimized with different basis sets (3-21G, 6-31G^*(*) and D95^**) at different levels of theory (HF, MP2, MP4, and CI). HF/3-21G optimizations result in planar trans conformations for all three peroxides. HF/6-31G^** calculations predict skew conformations for HOOH and CH₃OOH, but a planar trans struture for CH₃OOCH₃. For the larger basis set the calculated bond lengths, especially the O-O bonds, are too short. Optimizations for HOOH including electron correlation at the MP2, MP3, MP4, CI, and CCD level improve the agreement for bond lengths and the OOH angle, but result in dihedral angles Which are too large by 3– 8°. In the case of CH₃OOCH₃, similar calculations at the MP2 and CI level predict planar trans structures instead of the experimentally observed skew conformation. On the other hand, MP4 single point calculations at MP2 optimized parameters result in a correct skew structure. For all three peroxides a computationally “economic” method, i.e., single point calculations at MP2 or MP4 level with HF/3-21G optimized parameters, result in close agreement between calculated and experimental structures.     

Pd掺杂的Ni催化剂表面CH4解离吸附的理论研究

使用密度泛函理论研究了Pd掺杂的Ni(111),Ni(100)和Ni(211)表面最稳定的结构,同时考察了干净的和Pd掺杂的Ni表面催化CH₄解离反应的活性.结果表明,由Pd原子取代最外层Ni原子而形成的表面Pd掺杂的Ni表面在热力学上最为稳定,亚表面Pd掺杂的Ni表面在热力学上都不稳定; 而对于表面Pd吸附的Ni表面,只有Pd/Ni(211)表面是稳定的.表面掺杂的Pd/Ni表面上CH₄解离中间体(CH₄,CH₃,CH,C,H)吸附能的计算结果表明,Pd的掺杂在不同程度上减弱了除CH₄之外各解离中间体的吸附能.另外,CH₄和CH均优先在Ni(211)和Pd/Ni(211)台阶面上解离,其次是在比较开阔的Ni(100)和Pd/Ni(100)表面上.Pd的掺杂不同程度上提高了CH₄和CH解离的能垒,对于活性最高的Ni(211)面,Pd的掺杂使得CH脱氢的能垒较CH₄脱氢的高,改变了其速率控制步骤,从而抑制了积碳的生成.     

Theoretical study on the hydrogen abstraction reaction of CH3CH2F (HFC-161) with Cl atom

A direct dynamics method is employed to study the hydrogen abstraction reaction of CH₃CH₂F+Cl. Three distinct transition states are located, one for -H abstraction and two for β-H abstraction. The potential energy surface (PES) information is obtained at the QCISD(T)/6-311+G(3df,2p)//MP2/6-311G(d,p), CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,2p)//MP2/6-311G(d,p) and G2//MP2/6-311G(d,p) level. Based on the QCISD(T)/6-311+G(3df,2p)//MP2/6-311G(d,p) results, the rate constants of the three reaction channels are evaluated by using the canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) with small-curvature tunneling (SCT) contributions over the temperature range of 220–2800 K. The calculated results indicate that -H abstraction dominates the total reaction almost over the whole temperature range.     

Theoretical study of electric field gradients at nitrogen nuclei in HNO,CH3NO and C2H3NO

Electric field gradients (EFGs) at the nitrogen nuclei of nitroxyl, nitrosomethane and nitrosoethylene were calculated by employing the complete-active-space self-consistent field (CASSCF), internally contracted multireference configuration interaction (icMRCI) and single-configuration coupled-cluster (CC) methods with correlation-consistent basis sets at the levels of attainable accuracy. Changes in the pσ and pπ atomic orbital populations were used to rationalize the differences between the N EFG tensor components related to the nitroso compound and separate nitric oxide. Calculated ¹⁴N nuclear quadrupole coupling constants were found in reasonable accord with experimental values. Comparison of electric dipole moments and potential energy characteristics with external values served to testify to good overall quality of the wave functions used in our calculations.

For CH₃MgF, the analogous bond distances are 2.08 Å and 1.78 Å. A number of molecular properties have been predicted including dipole moments, which are 1.75 and 2.38 debye for CH₃BeF and CH₃MgF.

This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Theoretical study on the reaction mechanisms of CH2SH + NO reaction

The mechanisms for the CH₂SH + NO reaction were investigated on both of the singlet and triplet PES at the BMC-CCSD//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level. The results indicate that the singlet PES is much lower than the triplet PES energetically; therefore, the reaction occurs on the singlet PES dominantly. The most favorable channel on the singlet PES takes place by a barrierless addition of N atom to CH₂SH radical to form HSCH₂NO. Subsequently, the rearrangement of the initial adduct HSCH₂NO (IM1) to form another intermediate IM3 via a four-center transition state, followed by the C–O bond fission in IM3 leading to the major product CH₂S + HNO. Due to high barriers, other product including HC(N)SH + HO, HON + CH₂S, and HNO + CHSH could be negligible. The direct abstraction channel was also determined to yield CH₂S + HON. With high barrier (33.3 kcal/mol), it is not competitive with the addition channel, in which all stationary points are lower than reactant energetically. While on the triplet PES, with the lowest barrier height (18.8 kcal/mol), the direct N-abstracted channel to form CH₂S + HNO is dominant. However, it is not competitive with the channels on the singlet PES. Our results are in good accordance with experimental conclusions that the reaction proceeds via addition mechanism.     

The photoelectron and microwave spectra of the unstable species thioacetaldehyde,CH3CHS,and thioacetone, (CH3)2CS

Combined photoelectron and microwave techniques have been used to study the unstable species thioacetaldehyde, CH₃CHS, and thioacetone, (CH₃)₂CS. These species are produced when their respective cyclic trimers, 1,3,5-trimethyl s-trithiane and hexamethyl s-trithiane, are pyrolysed. The trimer vapours are flowed at approximately 30 μ Hg pressure via a quartz tube heated to between 500 and 600°C into a photoelectron or microwave spectrometer. Under these low pressure conditions the lifetime of CH₃CHS was about 10 seconds. The lifetime of (CH₃)₂CS was much longer, of the order of several minutes.The first (vertical) ionisation potentials of thioacetaldehyde and thioacetone are 8.98 ± 0.02 eV and 8.60 ± 0.05 eV respectively. The photoelectron spectra of the parent trimers have also been studied as well as s-trithiane, the trimer of thioformaldehyde. The microwave rotational spectra show evidence of hindered internal rotation. Preliminary analyses indicate that in thioacetaldehyde the barrier is 1545 ± 20 cal per mole (6470 joule per mole) and in thioacetone it is 1300 ± 50 cal per mole (5440 joule per mole).
