Theoretical investigation on stability and isomerizations of CH3SO isomers

The stability and isomerizations of CH3SO isomers have been investigated at B3LYP/6-311G(d,p), MP2/6-311G(d,p), QCISD/6-311G(d,p), and CCSD(T)/6-311G(d,p) levels. Geometries of isomers and transition states (TS) have been optimized at the B3LYP/6-311G(d, p) level. Vibration analysis and the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) calculated at the same level have been applied to validate the connection of the stationary points. The four different methods give similar results: 11 isomers and 9 isomerization channels were found. CH3SO and CH2(S)OH are the most stable species among the 11 isomers. Furthermore, the breakage and formation of the chemical bonds in isomerization reactions have been discussed by the topological analysis method of electronic density. The "energy transition state (ETS)" and the "structure transition state (STS)" of all the isomerizations have been found. The topological analysis shows that the relative positions of ETS and STS are determined by reaction energy. The nonplanar four-member ring structure transition state (STS), which was first found in this paper, extended the concept of ring STS.     

Theoretical study for the reaction of CH3OCl with Cl atom

A direct dynamics method is employed to study the kinetics of the multiple channel reaction CH(3)OCl + Cl. The potential energy surface (PES) information is explored from ab initio calculations. Two reaction channels, Cl- and H-abstractions, have been identified. The optimized geometries and frequencies of the stationary points and the minimum-energy paths (MEPs) are calculated at the MP2 level of theory using the 6-311G(d, p) and cc-pVTZ basis sets, respectively. The single-point energies along the MEPs are further refined at the G3(MP2)//MP2/6-311G(d, p), G3//MP2/6-311G(d, p), as well as by the multicoefficient correlation method based on QCISD (MC-QCISD) using the MP2/cc-pVTZ geometries. The enthalpies of formation for the species CH(3)OCl and CH(2)OCl are calculated via isodesmic reactions. The rate constants of the two reaction channels are evaluated by using the variational transition-state theory over a wide range of temperature, 220-2200 K. The calculated rate constants exhibit the slightly negative temperature dependence and show good agreement with the available experimental data at room temperature at the G3(MP2)//MP2/6-311G(d, p) level. The present calculations indicate that the two channels are competitive at low temperatures while H-abstraction plays a more important role with the increase of temperature. The calculated k(1a)/k(1) ratio of 0.5 at 298 K is in general agreement with the experimental one, 0.8 +/- 0.2. The high rate constant for CH(3)OCl + Cl shows that removal by reaction with Cl atom is a potentially important loss process for CH(3)OCl in the polar stratosphere.     

An FTIR study of the Cl atom-initiated oxidation of CH2Cl2 and CH3Cl

The Cl atom-initiated oxidation of CH₂Cl₂ and CH₃Cl was studied using the FTIR method in the photolysis of mixtures typically containing Cl₂ and the chlorinated methanes at 1 torr each in 700 torr air. The results obtained from product analysis were in general agreement with those reported by Sanhueza and Heicklen. The relative rate constant for the Cl atom reactions of CH₂Cl₂ and CH₃Cl was determined to be k(Cl +CH₃Cl)/k(Cl + CH₂Cl₂) = 1.31 ± 0.14 (2σ) at 298 ± 2 K.     

Theoretical study of H-abstraction reactions from CH3Cl and CH3Br molecules by ClO and BrO radicals

The rate constants of the H-abstraction reactions from CH(3)Cl and CH(3)Br molecules by ClO and BrO radicals have been estimated over the temperature range of 300-2500 K using four different levels of theory. Calculations of optimized geometrical parameters and vibrational frequencies are performed using B3LYP and MP2 methods combined with the cc-pVTZ basis set. Single-point energy calculations have been carried out with the highly correlated ab initio coupled cluster method in the space of single, double, and triple (perturbatively) electron excitations CCSD(T) using the cc-pVTZ and cc-pVQZ basis sets. Canonical transition-state theory combined with an Eckart tunneling correction has been used to predict the rate constants as a function of temperature. In order to choose the appropriate levels of theory with chlorine- and bromine-containing species, the reference reaction Cl ((2)P(3/2)) + CH(3)Cl → HCl + CH(2)Cl (R(ref)) was first theoretically studied because its kinetic parameters are well-established from numerous experiments, evaluation data, and theoretical studies. The kinetic parameters of the reaction R(ref) have been determined accurately using the CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ//MP2/cc-pVTZ level of theory. This level of theory has been used for the rate constant estimation of the reactions ClO + CH(3)Cl (R(1)), ClO + CH(3)Br (R(2)), BrO + CH(3)Cl (R(3)), and BrO + CH(3)Br (R(4)). Six-parameter Arrhenius expressions have been obtained by fitting to the computed rate constants of these four reactions (including cis and trans pathways) over the temperature range of 300-2500 K.     

Theoretical investigation on the reaction of HS+ with CH3NH2

The singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces for the reaction of HS⁺ with the simplest primary amine, CH₃NH₂, were determined at the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(d,p) level using the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and QCISD/6-311G(d,p) geometries. All possible reaction channels were explored. The results show that three paths on the singlet potential energy surface and one path on the triplet potential energy surface are competitive. These four feasible paths provide products which are presented in the paper and they are consistent with previous experimental results. On the other hand, the stationary points involved in the most favourable path all lie below those of the reactant and thus the title reaction is expected to be rapid, which is also consistent with the experiment.     

Theoretical study of the potential energy surface for CH3 and CH4 losses from ethyltoluenes

The decomposition of o-, m-, and p-ethyltoluene has been studied by density functional theory. It was found that monomolecular homolytic methyl loss from ethyl moiety seems to be the most favorable mechanism than other proceeding through ethyl, ring-methyl and hydrogen loss. Two possible channels of methane elimination from o-ethyltoluene were studied at B3LYP/6-311++G(df,p) level of theory.     

Study of the interaction between aniline and CH3CN, CH3Cl and CH3F

A computational study of dimers formed by aniline and one or two CH₃X molecules, X being CN, Cl or F, was carried out to elucidate the main characteristics of the interacting systems. Two different structures were found for each of the dimers, depending on the relative location of the CH₃X molecule with respect to the NH₂ hydrogen atoms. The most stable complex is formed with acetonitrile, with a complexation energy amounting to ?27.0?kJ/mol. Methyl chloride and methyl fluoride form complexes with complexation energies amounting to ?18.1 and ?17.5?kJ/mol, respectively, though the structural arrangement is quite different for both structures. In most complexes, the leading contribution to the stabilization of the complex is dispersion, though the electrostatic contribution is almost as important. Three different minima were obtained for clusters containing two CH₃X molecules depending on the side they occupy with respect to the phenyl ring. The complexation energies for these structures amount to ?58.5, ?38.6 and ?36.3?kJ/mol for acetonitrile, methyl chloride and methyl fluoride, respectively.     

Theoretical investigation on mechanism for OH-initiated oxidation of CH2=C(CH3)CH2OH

The mechanism of the gas-phase reaction OH with CH₂=C(CH₃)CH₂OH (2-methyl-2-propen-1-ol) has been elucidated using high-level ab initio method, i.e., CCSD(T)/6-311++g(d,p)//MP2(full)/6-311++g(d,p). Various possible H-abstraction and addition–elimination pathways are identified. The calculations indicate that the addition–elimination mechanism dominates the OH+MPO221 reaction. The addition reactions between OH radicals and CH₂=C(CH₃)CH₂OH begin with the barrierless formation of a pre-reactive complex in the entrance channel, and subsequently the CH₂(OH)C(CH₃)CH₂OH (IM1) and the CH₂C(OH)(CH₃)CH₂OH (IM2) are formed by OH radicals’ electrophilic additions to the double bond. IM1 can easily rearrange to IM2 via a 1,2-OH migration. Subsequently, rearrangement of IM2 to form (CH₃)₂C(OH)CH₂O (IM11) followed by dissociation to HCHO + (CH₃)₂COH (P21) is the most favorable pathway. The decomposition of IM2 to CH₂OH + CH₂=C(OH)CH₃ (P16) is the secondary pathway. The other pathways are not expected to play any important role in forming final products.     

Kinetics of the CH2Cl + CH3 and CHCl2 + CH3 radical-radical reactions

The CH2Cl + CH3 (1) and CHCl2 + CH3 (2) cross-radical reactions were studied by laser photolysis/photoionization mass spectroscopy. Overall rate constants were obtained in direct real-time experiments in the temperature region 301-800 K and bath gas (helium) density (6-12) x 10(16) atom cm(-3). The observed rate constant of reaction 1 can be represented by an Arrhenius expression k1 = 3.93 x 10(-11) exp(91 K/T) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1) (+/-25%) or as an average temperature-independent value of k1= (4.8 +/- 0.7) x 10(-11) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1). The rate constant of reaction 2 can be expressed as k2= 1.66 x 10(-11) exp(359 K/T) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1) (+/-25%). C2H4 and C2H3Cl were detected as the primary products of reactions 1 and 2, respectively. The experimental values of the rate constant are in reasonable agreement with the prediction based on the "geometric mean rule." A separate experimental attempt to determine the rate constants of the high-temperature CH2Cl + O2 (10) and CHCl2 + O2 (11) reaction resulted in an upper limit of 1.2 x 10(-16) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) for k10 and k11 at 800 K.     

Laser induced fluorescence study of vibration-vibration equilibration in CH3Cl and CH3ClX mixtures

The infrared fluorescence risetimes of the ν₃ CCl stretching mode of CH₃Cl have been measured in CH₃Cl—raregas mixtures subsequent to laser pumping of the ν₆ methyl deformation vibration with a Q-switched CO₂ laser. The rate of rise of this fluorescence was found to be 80 ± 8 msec^?1/torr in pure CH₃Cl as reported earlier. The effect of rare gases on this process was found to be in reasonable agreement with SSH type theoretical calculations as well as similar trends in other VV processes.     

Calculation of 13C shielding of the isotopomers CH3Cl,CH2DCl,CHD2Cl,and CD3Cl

The ¹³C shielding of the isotopomers CH₃Cl, CH₂ DCl, CHD₂Cl, and CD₃Cl has been calculated for a range of temperatures from an self-consistent field (SCF) shielding surface computed by Buckingham and Olegario. It is found that each successive deuterium substitution increases the shielding by about 0.19 ppm and that a very slight nonadditivity occurs. The principal factor which governs the nuclear motion correction for each isotopomer is the stretching of the bonds with both first- and second-order terms being significant. Angle bending contributions are very small at first order but quite substantial at second order. Not only should the ¹³C-isotope shifts in this experimentally uninvestigated series be easily measured but the temperature dependence of the shielding in any one isotopomer should be observable provided that careful measurements are made. The ¹³C-shielding difference between CH₃ ³⁵Cl and CH₃ ³⁷Cl has also been calculated and is found to agree well with experiment. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

CH2Cl与OH自由基反应机理的理论研究

The reaction mechanism of CH2Cl radical with OH radical to produce HCCl+H2O,HCOCl+H2 and H2CO+HCl has been studied by using quantum chemistry ab initio calculations. The optimized geometrical parameters,and vibrational frequencies of all species were obtained at the UMP2（FC）level of theory in conjunction with 6-311++G* basis set. Besides,the zero-point energies（ZPE）,relative energies and total energies of all species were calculated using Gaussian-3（G3）model. The results of theoretical study indicate that the activated intermediate CH2ClOH is first formed through a barrierless process,followed by atoms migration,radical groups rotation and bonds fission to produce HCCl+H2O,HCOCl+H2 and H2CO+HCl,respectively. And all channels are exothermic by 72.81,338.54 and 354.08 kJ/mol. The reaction heat of reactants to H2CO+HCl is 281.27 kJ/mol more than that of reactants to HCCl+H2O. This result accords with that of experiments.     

Theoretical investigation of the relative stabilities of XSSX and X2SS isomers (X = F,Cl, H,and CH3)

The structures and relative stabilities of a series of disulfide (XSSX) and thiosulfoxide (X₂SS) isomers have been studied for X = F, Cl, CH₃, and H, using various levels of conventional ab initio and density functional theory (DFT). The XSSX isomers are more stable than the X₂SS isomers for all substituents. The energy gap ΔE(X) between the two isomers increases (i.e., XSSX becomes more stable with respect to X₂SS), and the S? S bond contracts in the series for X = F, Cl, CH₃, H. The results are interpreted by means of natural population analysis (NPA) (e.g., the interaction between the disulfide moiety S and the two substituents X·). The bonding in the hypervalent X₂SS species is similar to the bonding in the nonhypervalent XSSX and does not involve a special role for sulfur-3d orbitals. These orbitals acquire only minimal populations and are not to be conceived as valence orbitals. The DFT and conventional ab initio results, Xα/DZP and MP2/6-31G** optimized structures and isomerization energies (at the highest levels of both methods), agree well. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Theoretical study of the reactions CF3CH2OCHF2 + OH/Cl and its product radicals and parent ether(CH3CH2OCH3) with OH

A dual-level direct dynamic method is employed to study the reaction mechanisms of CF3CH2OCHF2 (HFE-245fa2; HFE-245mf) with the OH radicals and Cl atoms. Two hydrogen abstraction channels and two displacement processes are found for each reaction. For further study, the reaction mechanisms of its products (CF3CH2OCF2 and CF3CHOCHF2) and parent ether CH3CH2OCH3 with OH radical are investigated theoretically. The geometries and frequencies of all the stationary points and the minimum energy paths (MEPs) are calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. The energetic information along the MEPs is further refined at the G3(MP2) level of theory. For reactions CF3CH2OCHF2 + OH/Cl, the calculation indicates that the hydrogen abstraction from --CH2-- group is the dominant reaction channel, and the displacement processes may be negligible because of the high barriers. The standard enthalpies of formation for the reactant CF3CH2OCHF2, and two products CF3CH2OCHF2 and CF3CHOCHF2 are evaluated via group-balanced isodesmic reactions. The rate constants of reactions CF3CH2OCHF2 + OH/Cl and CH3CH2OCH3 + OH are estimated by using the variational transition state theory over a wide range of temperature (200-2000 K). The agreement between the theoretical and experimental rate constants is good in the measured temperature range. From the comparison between the rate constants of the reactions CF3CH2OCHF2 and CH3CH2OCH3 with OH, it is shown that the fluorine substitution decreases the reactivity of the C--H bond.     

Theoretical investigation of product channels in the CH3O2 + Br reaction

Several reaction pathways on the potential energy surface (PES) for the reaction of CH3O2 radicals with Br atoms are examined using both ab initio and density functional methods. Analysis of the PES suggests the presence of the stable intermediates CH3OOBr and CH3OBrO. CH3OOBr is calculated to be more stable than CH3OBrO by 9.7 kcal mol(-1) with a significant barrier preventing formation of CH3OBrO via isomerization of CH3OOBr. The relative importance of bi- and termolecular product channels resulting from the initially formed CH3OOBr adduct are assessed based on calculated barriers to the formation of CH2OO + HBr, CH3O + BrO, CH3Br + O2, and CH2O + HOBr.     

Theoretical study on the kinetics of OH radical reactions with CH3OOH and CH3CH2OOH

The mechanisms and kinetics studies of the OH radical with alkyl hydroperoxides CH(3)OOH and CH(3)CH(2)OOH reactions have been carried out theoretically. The geometries and frequencies of all the stationary points are calculated at the UBHandHLYP/6-311G(d,p) level, and the energy profiles are further refined by interpolated single-point energies method at the MC-QCISD level of theory. For two reactions, five H-abstraction channels are found and five products (CH(3)OO, CH(2)OOH, CH(3)CH(2)OO, CH(2)CH(2)OOH, and CH(3)CHOOH) are produced during the above processes. The rate constants for the CH(3)OOH/CH(3)CH(2)OOH + OH reactions are corrected by canonical variational transition state theory within 250-1500 K, and the small-curvature tunneling is included. The total rate constants are evaluated from the sum of the individual rate constants and the branching ratios are in good agreement with the experimental data. The Arrhenius expressions for the reactions are obtained.
