Some hydrogen abstraction reactions of the CF3CCl2 radical

The gas phase photolysis of CF₃CCl₃ in the presence of several alkanes has been used to obtain Arrhenius parameters for the abstraction of hydrogen atoms by the CF₃CCl₂ radical: Activation energies of 9.6 and 8.0 kcal/mole are found for abstraction from secondary and tertiary C–H bonds, respectively. The Arrhenius parameters are compared to those for CCl₃ and CF₃ radicals.     

Theoretical study on the hydrogen abstraction reactions from hydrazine derivatives by H atom

The hydrogen abstraction reactions from hydrazine and its methyl derivatives by the H atom have been investigated theoretically by using CBS-QB3//DSD-BLYP-D3(BJ)/Def2-TZVP quantum chemical calculations and transition state theory calculations coupled with various tunneling correction methods. Both the products and transition state energies of the hydrogen abstraction from the amino group were stabilized by the methyl group substitution. The substitution effect on the ^αN site was two times larger than that on the ^βN site. On the other hand, the substitution effect was negligible on the hydrogen abstraction from the methyl group. The overall rate coefficients of N₂H₄ + H reaction calculated by canonical variational transition state theory with the small-curvature tunneling correction agreed well with previously reported values, but those of CH₃NHNH₂/(CH₃)₂NNH₂ + H were slightly lower than a previous experimental value. The product-specific rate coefficients have been proposed for the kinetics modeling of these fuels’ combustion.     

Theoretical study of the competitive decomposition and isomerization of 1-hexyl radical

The ground-state potential energy surface of the 1-hexyl system, including the main decomposition and isomerization processes, has been calculated with the MPW1K, BB1K, MPWB1K, MPW1B95, BMK, M05-2X and CBS-QB3 methods. On the basis of these data, thermal rate coefficients of different reaction channels and branching ratios were then calculated using the master equation formulation at 250–2,500 K. The results clearly point out that the 1,5 H atom transfer reaction of 1-hexyl radical with exothermicity proceeds through the lowest reaction barrier, whereas the decomposition processes are thermodynamically unfavorable with large endothermicity. The temperature effect is important on the relative importance of different reactions in the 1-hexyl system. In the low-temperature range of 250–900 K, isomerization reactions, especially 1,5 H atom transfer reaction of 1-hexyl radical, are dominating and responsible for over 82.17% of all the reactions, due to their smaller reaction barriers than those of the decomposition reactions. Furthermore, an equilibrium process involving the isomeric forms of the hexyl radicals appearing at relative low temperature was validated theoretically. However, isomerization and decomposition processes are kinetically competitive and simultaneously important under normal pyrolysis conditions.     

Theoretical study of hydrogen abstraction and sulfur insertion in the reaction H2S + S

The reaction of H2S + S has been characterized at the multireference configuration interaction level with the geometries optimized using the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set and the single-point energy calculated using the aug-cc-pV(Q+d)Z basis set. As in the analogous reaction of H2 + S, the presence of an intersystem crossing enables products (SH + SH) to be formed on the singlet surface through S insertion, which bypasses the triplet barrier (19.1 kJ mol-1 relative to SH + SH) of the H abstraction route. This provides theoretical evidence for SH + SH formation without barrier beyond endothermicity at sufficiently low temperatures. The H abstraction route, however, is expected to be competitive at higher temperatures due to a much higher Arrhenius pre-exponential factor (6.9 x 10(14) cm3 mol-1 s-1 derived from TST calculation) than that of S insertion channel (3.7 x 10(13) cm3 mol-1 s-1, derived by a least-squares fit to the measurements). With a slightly higher transition-state barrier than that of the H abstraction channel, the production of S2 + H2 is less favored due to proceeding via intersystem crossing and insertion. While the formation of HSS + H is energetically unfavorable relative to SH + SH, recombination channels producing H2SS or the more stable HSSH are expected to occur under collisional stabilization conditions at high pressures.     

Theoretical study of the addition and abstraction reactions of hydroxyl radical with uracil

The addition as well as abstraction reactions of hydroxyl radical (OH) with the nucleic acid base, uracil (U), in the gas phase has been explored at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of density functional theory (DFT). The energy barrier of the OH addition to both the C5 and C6 positions of the uracil is less than 1 kcal/mol while the hydrogen abstractions (H-abstractions) from either the N1 or the N3 positions are ∼9.5 kcal/mol. Further the energetics of these reactions are assessed by applying the effect of aqueous medium through the polarizable continuum model (PCM). Both the gas and the solution phase data established that the thermodynamic and kinetic factors are more favorable for the OH addition to either C5 or C6 positions of the uracil than the H-abstraction reactions. Moreover, calculations at the MPW1K/6-31+G(d,p), CCSD(T)/6-31+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) and CCSD(T)/6-31+G(d,p)//MPW1K/6-31+G(d,p) levels of theoretical methods qualitatively supported the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) results.

Direct dynamics study on hydrogen abstraction reaction of CF3CF2CH2OH with OH radical

The dual-level direct dynamics method has been employed to investigate the H-abstraction reaction of CF(3)CF(2)CH(2)OH with OH radical, which is predicted to have two classes of possible reaction channels caused by different positions of hydrogen atom attack. The minimum-energy path is calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level, and the energetic information is further refined by the MC-QCISD method. To compare the structures, the other method MPW1K/6-311G(d,p) is also applied to this system. Hydrogen-bonded complexes are presented in the reactant and product sides of the three channels, indicating that each reaction may proceed via an indirect mechanism. The rate constants for each reaction channel are evaluated by canonical variational transition-state theory (CVT) with the small-curvature tunneling correction (SCT) over a wide range of temperatures from 200 to 2000 K. The calculated CVT/SCT rate constants are found to be in good agreement with the available experimental values. The result shows that the variational effect is small, and in the lower-temperature range, the SCT effect is important for each reaction. It is shown that hydrogen abstracted from the -CH(2)- position is the major channel, while H-abstraction from the -OH position may be neglected with the temperature increasing.     

Rate constants for some hydrogen abstraction reactions of the carbonate radical

Rate constants have been measured in aqueous solutions for the reactions of the carbonate radical, CO₃^˙?, with several saturated alcohols and one cyclic ether as a function of temperature. Arrhenius pre-exponential factors ranged from 2×10⁸ to 1×10⁹ ?? mol^?1 s^?1 and activation energies ranged from 16 to 29 kJ mol^?1. The results suggest that the reactions are not pure hydrogen abstraction, but involve an additional interaction of the radical with the ? OH or ? O? linkage. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Ab initio study on the structures of fluorinated formates and hydrogen abstraction reaction with OH radical

The conformational potential energy surfaces for mono- and difluoromethyl formate have been determined by using a modified G2(MP2) level of calculations. The structures and vibrational frequencies for the conformers of mono- and difluoromethyl formate have been reported. The hydrogen abstraction reaction channels between these two formates and OH radicals have been studied at the same level of theory. Using the standard transition state theory and taking into account the effect of tunneling across the reaction barrier, we have estimated the rate constant for hydrogen abstraction by OH radical. The effect of successive fluorine substitution for methyl hydrogen on the conformational stability and on the hydrogen abstraction rate has been analyzed.     

The capacity of an α-nitroalkyl radical for hydrogen abstraction

Photochemical decomposition of 2-iodo-2-nitroadamantane in several hydrogen donating solvents, gives rise to formation of α-nitroalkyl radicals. Such ambident radicals can abstract hydrogen from the solvent via oxygen, resulting in a nitronic acid which decomposes exlusively into adamantanone. Alternately the abstraction can take place via carbon to give 2-nitroadamantane. The product distribution is strongly influenced by electron-withdrawing substituents in the hydrogen donor. The oxidation products derived from the solvent have been detected. All the experiments point towards a minor stabilisation of a carbon radical by a nitro group. INDO-calculations on the nitromethyl radical are in good agreement with this lack of stabilization.
