CH3CF2O2与HO2自由基反应机理的理论研究

用密度泛函理论(DFT)的B3LYP方法，在6-311G、6-311+G(d)、6-311++G(d, p) 基组水平上研究了CH₃CF₂O₂与HO₂自由基反应机理. 结果表明, CH3CF₂O₂与HO₂自由基反应存在两条可行的通道. 通道CH3CF₂O₂＋HO₂→IM1→TS1→CH₃CF₂OOH＋O₂的活化能为77.21 kJ•mol^－1，活化能较低，为主要反应通道，其产物是O₂和CH₃CF₂OOH. 这与实验结果是一致的；而通道CH₃CF₂O₂＋HO₂→IM2→TS2→IM3→TS3→IM4＋IM5→IM4＋TS4→IM4＋OH＋O₂→TS5＋OH＋O₂→CH₃＋CF₂O＋OH＋O₂→CH₃OH＋CF₂O＋O₂的控制步骤活化能为93.42 kJ•mol^－1，其产物是CH₃OH、CF₂O和O₂. 结果表明这条通道也能发生，这与前人的实验结果一致.     

Flash photolysis/temperature jump study of the vibrational relaxation of N2O(010) by O(P) and NO

This survey begins with the photochemistry at 254 nm and 298 K in the system H₂O₂COO₂RH, the primary objective of which is to determine the rate constants for the reaction OH + RH → H₂O + R relative to the well-known rate constant for the reaction OH + CO → CO₂ + H. Inherent in the scheme is that the reaction HO₂+CO→OH+CO₂ is negligible compared with the OH reaction, and a literature consensus gives k_HO2 < 10⁻¹⁹ cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹, or some 10⁶ less than k_OH at 298 K. Theoretical calculations establish that the first stage in the HO₂ reaction is the formation of a free radical intermediate HO₂ + CO → HOOCO (perhydroxooxomethyl) which decomposes to yield the products, and that the rate of formation of the intermediate is equal to the rate of formation of the products. The structure of the intermediate and a reaction profile are shown.

High temperature rate data reported subsequent to the data in the consensus and theoretical calculations lead here to a recommendation that, in the range 250–800 K, k_HO2 = 3.45 × 10⁻¹²T^1/2 exp(1.15 × 10⁴/T) cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹, the hard-sphere-collision Arrhenius modification. This yields k_HO2(298) = 1.0 × 10⁻²⁷ cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹ or some 10¹⁴ slower than k_OH(298).     

Measurements of HO2 uptake coefficient on aqueous (NH4)2SO4 aerosol using aerosol flow tube with LIF system

The γ(HO₂) was elevated with increase of Cu(II) concentrations in aqueous (NH₄)₂SO₄ aerosol. The threshold of Cu(II) concentration was 10^-3 mol/L for the dramatic increase of γ(HO₂) to 0.1, suggesting sensitive γ(HO₂) value to concentration of transition metal ions in aerosol.     

Theoretical investigations on the SO2 + HO2 reaction and the SO2–HO2 radical complex

The mechanism of the SO₂ + HO₂ reaction was studied theoretically for the first time. Three product channels were revealed, namely, O₂ + HOSO, O₂ + HSO₂, and OH + SO₃. The O₂ + HOSO channel dominates the reaction under combustion conditions. A five-member-ring complex [SO₂–HO₂] exists at the entrance of the reaction. The structure and binding energy (D_e and D₀) of the SO₂–HO₂ complex have been calculated. In view of D₀ = 21.2 ± 2.0 kJ mol⁻¹, the SO₂–HO₂ complex should be stable at low temperature. The infrared spectra and frequency shifts were calculated for both SO₂–HO₂ and SO₂–DO₂, and compared with the available experimental data.     

Ab initio study of the two competitive channels HO2 + H → H2 + O2 and HO2 + H → H2O + O

Saddle point geometries and barrier heights have been calculated for the H abstraction reaction HO₂(²A″)+H(²S) → H₂(¹Σ⁺_g)+O₂(³Σ⁻_g) and the concerted H approach-O removing reaction HO₂ (²A″)+H(²S) → H₂O(¹A₁)+O(³P) by using SDCI wavefunctions with a valence double-zeta plus polarization basis set. The saddle points are found to be of C_s symmetry and the barrier heights are respectively 5.3 and 19.8 kcal by including size consistent correction. Moreoever kinetic parameters have been evaluated within the framework of the TST theory. So activation energies and the rate constants are estimated to be respectively 2.3 kcal and 0.4×10⁹ ℓ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ for the first reaction, 20.0 kcal and 5.4.10⁻⁵ ℓ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ for the second. Comparison of these results with experimental determinations shows that hydrogen abstraction on HO₂ is an efficient mechanism for the formation of H₂ + O₂, while the concerted mechanism envisaged for the formation of H₂O + O is highly unlikely.     

Dissociation reactions of the vinyl radical in the AA″ state

In the present theoretical work we have explored mechanisms of dissociation reactions of the vinyl radical in the A²A″ state (C₂H₃ (A²A″)) and examined possible pathways for nonadiabatic dissociation of C₂H₃ (A²A″) into C₂H₂ (X¹Σ_g⁺). In the calculations we used the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and multiconfiguration second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) methods in conjunction with the cc-pVDZ and cc-pVTZ basis sets. Mechanisms for the following three dissociation channels of C₂H₃ in the A²A″ state were explored: (1) C₂H₃ (A²A″) → C₂H₂ (trans, ³A_u) + H, (2) C₂H₃ (A²A″) → C₂H₂ (cis, ³A₂) + H, and (3) C₂H₃ (A²A″) → H₂CC (³A₂) + H. The CASSCF and CASPT2 potential energy curve calculations for the C₂H₃ (A²A″) dissociation channels (1)–(3) indicate that there is neither transition state nor intermediate for each of the channels. At the CASPT2//CASSCF/cc-pVTZ level, the dissociation energies for channels (1)–(3) are predicted to be 84.3, 91.1, and 86.9 kcal/mol, respectively. For a recently observed nonadiabatic dissociation of C₂H₃ (A²A″) into C₂H₂ (X¹Σ_g⁺) + H [J. Chem. Phys. 111 (1999) 3783], two previously suggested internal conversion (IC) pathways were examined based on our CASSCF and CASPT2 calculations. Our preliminary CASSCF and CASPT2 calculations indicate that the assumed IC pathway via the twisted C₂H₃ (A²A^′) structure might be feasible. The CASSCF/cc-pVTZ geometry optimization and frequency analysis calculations were performed for the four C_2v bridge structures in the ²B₂, ²A₂, ²B₁, and ²A₁ states along the pathways of the 1²A^′ (X²A^′), 1²A″ (A²A″), 2²A″, and 2²A^′ states of C₂H₃, respectively, and the CASPT2//CASSCF/cc-pVTZ energetic results indicate that the assumed IC pathway, via a C_2v (²A₂) structure and then ²A₂/²A₁ surface crossing, be not feasible since at their excitation wavelengths (327.4 and 366.2 nm) the C_2v (²A₂) structure could not be accessed.     

Electron beam treatment of lignite-burning flue gas with high concentrations of sulfur dioxide and water

Experiments were carried out to investigate the removals of SO₂ and NO_x from simulated lignite-burning flue gas containing SO₂ (4800 ppm), NO (320 ppm) and H₂O (22%) by electron beam irradiation. Removal efficiencies of SO₂ and NO_x were achieved to reach 97 and 88% at 70°C, and 74 and 85% at 80°C, respectively, with the dose of 10.3 kGy without NH₃ leakage. The higher removal efficiencies of SO₂ and NO_x were observed in simulated lignite-burning flue gas than in coal-fired flue gas containing 800 ppm of SO₂, 225 ppm of NO and 7.5% H₂O at the same treatment condition. The higher removal efficiencies were attributed to the higher concentrations of SO₂, H₂O, and added NH₃. Simulation calculations indicated that the higher concentrations of these components enhance the effective radical reactions to oxidize NO to form NO₂ with HO₂ radical, and to oxidize SO₂ to form SO₃ with OH radical and O₂. The reactions of NO_x with N and NH₂ radicals to produce N₂ and N₂O also promote the NO_x removal. By-product was determined to be the mixture of (NH₄)₂SO₄ and NH₄NO₃ containing a small amount of H₂SO₄.     

Crystalline calcium phenylphosphonate—thermodynamic data on n-alkylmonoamine intercalations

Lamellar crystalline calcium phenylphosphonate, as anhydrous Ca(HO₃PC₆H₅)₂ and hydrated Ca(HO₃PC₆H₅)₂·2H₂O compounds, were used as hosts for intercalation of polar n-alkylmonoamine molecules of the general formula CH₃(CH₂)_nNH₂ (n=0–4, 7) in water or 1,2-dichloroethane. An increase in the interlayer distance was observed. The exothermic enthalpic values for intercalation increased with the number of carbon atoms and with increasing concentration of the amines. The intercalation followed by a titration procedure in the solid/liquid interface with Ca(HO₃PC₆H₅)₂·2H₂O and Ca(HO₃PC₆H₅)₂ gave the enthalpy/number of carbons correlations: Δ_intH=−(1.74±0.43)–(1.30±0.13)n_c and Δ_intH=−(4.15±0.15)–(1.07±0.03)n_c, for water and 1,2-dichloroethane, respectively. A similar correlation Δ_intH=−(4.27±0.80)–(1.85±0.21)n_c was obtained in water by using the ampoule breaking procedure for Ca(HO₃PC₆H₅)₂·2H₂O. The increase in exothermic enthalpic values with the increase in n-aliphatic carbon atoms is more pronounced for the anhydrous compound and also when using the ampoule breaking procedure. The Gibbs free energies are negative. Positive entropic values favor intercalation in these systems.     

亚硝酸甲酯光解反应的从头算和Cl研究

用从头算和MP2方法求得亚硝酸甲酯的基态、第一和第二激发态解离为CH₃O和NO自由基的解离能分別为238.14、68.99和-183.97kJ/mol,而CH₃O和NO易于生成甲醛和硝酰。由CI方法求出的亚硝酸甲酯直接生成甲醛和硝酰的基态和激发态反应曲线表明,该反应难以按这种机理进行。因此,以上计算支持了实验提出的亚硝酸甲酯光反应生成甲醛和硝酰的两种机理中的光解离机制。     

A self consistent field molecular orbital study of the lithium-formaldehyde system

The nature of the lithium—oxygen bond in the lithium—formaldehyde system (a prototype of the ketyl radical—alkali metal ion pairs) is examined by unrestricted Hartree—Fock calculations using minimum and extended Slater-type bases and ghost orbital methods. Two states of the equilibrium C_2v symmetry structure are considered: ²B₁, which is a π radical, and ²A₁, Which is a σ radical. In contrast with the results of Ha et al. [10], the ²B₁, state is found to have a slightly lower energy than ²A ₁, When only s-type basis functions are used for the lithium atom; the ²B₁, state is further stabilized if 2p functions at the lithium centre are included. Inclusion of 2p orbitals on lithium greatly exaggerates the charge density at the lithium atom in single-ζ basis calculations on the ²B₁ state, and earlier calculations by Bernardi and Pedulli [8, 9] are found severely to underestimate the polarity of this state. A much better wave-function is obtained from double-ζ basis calculations, and it is concluded that the net charge of Li in the ²B₁, state is close to + 1. The ²A₁, state, on the other hand, is essentially homopolar.

Observation of alkali-metal-carboxylate radical anions in fast-atom bombardment

The existence of a series of 32 molecular radical anions from carboxylic acids salts RCOO-Cat^−., where R = CH₃, CH₃CH₂, CH₃CH₂CH₂, (CH₃)₂CH, C₆H₅, o-CH₃-C₆H₄, m-CH₃-C₆H₄, and p-CH₃-C₆H₄ and Cat = Li, Na, K, Rb, has been proven by the observation of their fragmentation in negative-ion fast-atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry. These species occur at very low abundance and are not detected in the fast-atom bombardment spectra because they are hidden in the background. However, the collision-induced dissociation fragmentation of ions selected at the mass-to-charge ratio values that correspond to these species display characteristic signals that are completely different from the signals observed from pure matrix or after addition of corresponding metal hydroxide to the matrix. The main fragmentation observed is the loss of the neutral metal atom from RCOOCat^−., followed by a loss of CO₂ for the aromatic compounds. Neutral loss experiments also confirm the existence of these radical anions. Scans for the loss of a selected metal after addition of one of the carboxylic acid salts to the matrix display abundant peaks at mass-to-charge ratio values that correspond to the salt radical anions. Some weaker peaks appear at other mass-to-charge ratio values independent of the salt that is used and also are observed from the matrix when the corresponding metal hydroxide is added. When alkali metal salts from some deuterated acids are analyzed, the predicted shifts are observed. The loss of the neutral metal is more pronounced from RCOONa^−., RCOOK^−., and RCOORb^−. than from RCOOLi^−..     

FTIR studies on the gas phase laser-induced decomposition of CF3CH2ONO

The unimolecular decomposition of CF₃CH₂O (2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy) radical generated from 355 nm pulsed nanosecond laser photolysis of CF₃CH₂ONO (2,2,2-trifluoroethylnitrite) in the gas phase has been studied using Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. The radical preferentially dissociates via its C–H bond cleavage to yield CF₃CHO (trifluoroacetaldehyde) as the major product. The infrared spectrum of formaldehyde, one of the products of C–C bond dissociation of CF₃CH₂O was not observed under a range of nitrite and argon buffer gas pressures. Similar results were obtained when thermal heating and broadband xenon lamp irradiation of the nitrite were carried out. The addition of high pressures of NO further decreased the production of CF₃CHO since recombination of NO with the trifluoroethoxy radical competes with the unimolecular dissociation process. Surprisingly, CF₃CDO was also the only product observed when the deuterated species CF₃CD₂ONO was photolysed by the 355 nm laser. These observations contradicted MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations which were found to favour the C–C bond dissociation channel. However, 355 nm photolysis of CF₃CH₂ONO in the presence of O₂ yielded trifluoroethylnitrate, CF₃CH₂ONO₂ as the main product while CF₃CHO and CF₂O were also observable at much lower yields.     

Evidence for a deep Cooper minimum in the 3s-np channel of ND4

NH₄ and ND₄ have been the subject of many studies, experimental and theoretical. Fuke et al. have recently recorded the photoionization cross-section at threshold for ND₄ revealing unusual behavior. Based on this observation, theoretical calculations, and comparison with isoelectronic sodium and related alkali atoms, the existence of a deep Cooper minimum slightly below the ionization threshold is postulated for the 3s-np channel of the NH₄ radical and its ND₄ isotope.     

Complexes of li atoms with formaldehyde (LiOCH2) and formaldimine (LiNHCH2): Stability via electrostatic and charge transfer interactions

The Li atom adducts of formaldehyde (LiOCH₂) and formaldimine (LiNHCH₂) are produced in the gas phase by neutralization of the corresponding cations. Subsequent reionization, ca. 0.3 μs later, shows that the nominally hypervalent complexes LiXCH₂ (X=O or NH) are stable, residing in potential energy minima. In the time span between the neutralization and reionization events, the LiXCH₂ molecules dissociate partly into their constituents, Li + XCH₂, the fragmentation extent of LiNHCH₂ being more extensive. Ab initio calculations reveal three bound states for both Li atom complexes. Two (states A and B) resemble C-centered radicals carrying an ion pair, Li⁺·⁻X---CH₂^·, and can be viewed as lithiated derivatives of the hydroxymethyl (HOCH₂^·) or aminomethyl (H₂NCH₂^·) radical; the third state (C) represents a conventional, electrostatically bonded Li---X=CH₂ complex with an essentially intact X=C double bond and the unpaired electron located at the metal atom. States A and B are bound more strongly than state C for LiOCH₂; the opposite is true for LiNHCH₂, where C is the most stable arrangement and B only marginally bound. The larger degree of dissociation observed for LiNHCH₂ vis à vis LiOCH₂ upon neutralization–reionization points out that the experiment samples a considerable amount of state B which is barely bound for LiNHCH₂.     

All electron ab initio investigations of the electronic states of the MoN molecule

The low lying electronic states of the molecule MoN were investigated by performing all electron ab initio multi-configuration self-consistent-field (CASSCF) calculations. The relativistic corrections for the one electron Darwin contact term and the relativistic mass-velocity correction were determined in perturbation calculations. The electronic ground state is confirmed as being ⁴∑⁻. The chemical bond of MoN has a triple bond character because of the approximately fully occupied delocalized bonding π and σ orbitals. The spectroscopic constants for the ground state and ten excited states were derived. The excited doublet states ²∑⁻, ²Γ, ²Δ, and ²∑⁺ are found to be lower lying than the ⁴Π state that was investigated experimentally. Elaborate multi-configuration configuration-interaction (MRCI) calculations were carried out for the states ⁴∑⁻ and ⁴∏ using various basis sets. The spectroscopic constants for the ⁴∑⁻ ground state were determined as r_e=1.636 Å and ω_e=1109 cm⁻¹, and for the ⁴∏ state as r_e=1.662 Å and ω_e=941 cm⁻¹. The values for the ground state are in excellent agreement with available experimental data. The MoN molecule is polar with a charge transfer from Mo to N. The dipole moment was determined as 2.11 D in the ⁴∑⁻ state and as 4.60 D in the ⁴∏ state. These values agree well with the revised experimental values determined from molecular Stark spectroscopic measurements. The dissociation energy, D_e, is determined as 5.17 eV, and D₀ as 5.10 eV.     

Theoretical study on reaction mechanism of the vinyl radical with nitrogen atom

The complex triplet potential energy surface of the C₂H₃N system is investigated at the UB3LYP and CCSD(T) (single-point) levels in order to explore the possible reaction mechanism of C₂H₃ radical with N(⁴S). Eleven minimum isomers and 18 transition states are located. Possible energetically allowed reaction pathways leading to various low-lying dissociation products are obtained. Starting from the energy-rich reactant C₂H₃+N(⁴S), the first step is the attack of the N atom on the C atom having one H atom attached in C₂H₃ radical and form the intermediate C₂H₃N(1). The associated intermediate 1 can lead to product P₁ CH₂CN+H and P₂ ³CH₂+³HCN by the cleavage of C–H bond and C–C bond, respectively. The most favorable pathway for the C₂H₃+N(⁴S) reaction is the channel leading to P₁, which is preferred to that of P₂ due to the comparative lower energy barrier. The formation of P₃ ³C₂H₂+³NH through hydrogen-abstraction mechanism is also feasible, especially at high temperature. The other pathways are less competitive comparatively.     

Dissociative excitation of SiH4, SiD4, Si2H6 and GeH4 by 0–100 eV electron impact

We have measured emission cross sections of various electronically excited fragments produced by electron-impact dissociation of SiH₄, SiD₄, Si₂H₆ and GeH₄. At low impact energy (10–20 eV), the measured appearance potentials are correlated to specific dissociation processes. Below 22 eV superexcited states of SiH₄ play a dominant role in the formation of neutral excited fragments. In agreement with the results obtained on alkanes, the cross sections for fragment emission from Si₂H₆ are lower than those for SiH₄. On the other hand, the comparison of cross sections at 100 eV for fragment emission, dissociation and ionization on going from CH₄ to SiH₄ and GeH₄ shows an increase of the probability for production of neutral ground-state fragments at the cost of excited or ionic fragments. Both effects can be explained by a growing probability for internal conversion among the decay channels of superexcited states with increasing number of atoms or electrons in the parent molecule. For each molecule, the H Balmer-emission cross sections at 100 eV are proportional to n^−b, where n 3 is the principal quantum number of the upper state of H and 3 < b < 5 is a parameter characteristic of the parent molecule. Finally, a detailed analysis of the isotopic effect between SiH₄ and SiD₄ on both fragment emission and ionization cross sections from 0 to 100 eV gives strong evidence of the competition between dissociation and autoionization in the decay of superexcited states.     

Two-centre model potential energy calculations for the Σ and Π states of Li2, Na2, K2, Rb2 and Cs2

Two-centre model potential calculations have been carried out for the ²Σ⁺_g,u and ²Π_g,u states of Li⁺₂, Na⁺₂, K⁺₂, Rb⁺₂ and Cs⁺₂. Comparison with other model potential calculations suggests that reliable potential curves have been obtained. The results indicate the usefulness of calculating diatomic energies by the method proposed.     

Ultrafast dissociation dynamics of ketones at 195 nm

The photodissociation dynamics of the 3s Rydberg state of three ketones (CH₃CO–R, R=C₂H₅, C₃H₇, and iso-C₄H₉) and the ensuing dissociation of the nascent acetyl radical following 195 nm excitation were investigated by ultrafast photoionization spectroscopy. The 3s state the lifetimes of these ketones are similar (2.5–2.9 ps), though lifetimes of the acetyl radical range from 8.6 ps for CH₃CO–C₂H₅, 15 ps for CH₃CO–C₃H₇, to 23 ps for CH₃CO–(iso-C₄H₉), which suggests that for larger R more vibrational degrees of freedom compete for the excess energy so that less energy is partitioned into the internal energy of the acetyl radical.
