Theoretical study on the hydration of hydrogen peroxide in terms of ab initio method and atom-bond electronegativity equalization method fused into molecular mechanics

In this paper, the interaction between hydrogen peroxide (HP) and water were systemically studied by atom-bond electronegativity equalization method fused into molecular mechanics (ABEEM/MM) and ab initio method. The results show that the optimized geometries, interaction energies and dipole moments of hydrated HP clusters HP(H₂O) _n (n = 1–6) calculated by ABEEM/MM model are fairly consistent with the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ//MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ results. The ABEEM/MM results indicate that n = 4 is the transition state structure from 2D planar structure to 3D network structure. The variations of the average hydrogen bond length with the increasing number of water molecules given by ABEEM/MM model agree well with those of ab initio studies. Moreover, the radial distribution functions (RDFs) of water molecule around HP in HP aqueous solution have been analyzed in detail. It can be confirmed that HP is a good proton donor and poor proton acceptor in aqueous solution by analysis of the RDFs.     

Theoretical calculation about the valence and Rydberg excited states of hydrogen cyanide

The singlet and triplet excited states of hydrogen cyanide have been computed by using the complete active space self-consistent field and completed active space second order perturbation methods with the atomic natural orbital (ANO-L) basis set. Through calculations of vertical excitation energies, we have probed the transitions from ground state to valence excited states, and further extensions to the Rydberg states are achieved by adding 1s1p1d Rydberg orbitals into the ANO-L basis set. Four singlet and nine triplet excited states have been optimized. The computed adiabatic energies and the vertical transition energies agree well with the available experimental data and the inconsistencies with the available theoretical reports are discussed in detail.     

Alkaline hydrogen peroxide bleaching of cellulose

A closed system bleaching apparatus was designed to determine the kinetics and effects of various factors on alkaline hydrogen peroxide bleaching of textile cellulose fabrics. It was confirmed that perhydroxyl anion is the primary bleaching moiety in alkaline hydrogen peroxide systems. The use of the apparatus in the measurement of fabric color, waste oxygen, and the subsequent calculation of hydroxyl ion, and molecular hydrogen peroxide confirmed that pH and titration of 'free' hydrogen peroxide in alkaline bleaching systems are not good indicators of bleaching mechanism. The role of the cellulose itself in the chemical bleaching system was determined. The rate of bleaching on cotton fabric was shown to be a first order reaction in concentration of perhydroxyl anion at 60 and 90°C. An activation energy of 17kcal/mole was estimated. Decomposition of H₂O₂ into waste oxygen was found to be second order kinetics.     

Sigma,pi, and delta wavefunction forms for the hydrogen molecule

Using variational Monte Carlo methods, we examine simple, explicitly‐correlated trial wavefunction forms for the X¹Σ, B¹Σ, a³Σ, b³Σ, I¹Π_g, C¹Π_u, i³Π_g, c³Π_u, J¹Δ_g, and j³Δ_g states of the hydrogen molecule. The energies produced by our best wavefunctions are slightly above the best values in the literature. When we combine our trial wavefunction forms with the generalized Feynman‐Kac path integral method, our results are in excellent agreement with the best nonrelativistic values for these systems except for the I¹Π_g state. Our best energy for this state, ?0.65951554(6), is lower by several microhartrees than that obtained by Wolniewicz [J Mol Spectrosc 1995, 169, 329]. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Oxidative cracking of precipitated hardwood lignin by hydrogen peroxide

Precipitated hardwood lignin (PHL) is a major byproduct in the biomassto-ethanol process. Oxidativecracking of PHL by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous medium was investigated as a means to produce potentially useful chemicals. The cracking reaction takes place at moderate temperatures (80–160°C), giving mono-and dicarboxylic acids as the main products. The yields of these products are in the range of 30–50% of initial lignin. The reaction mechanism and the product distribution are dependent upon the reaction conditions, especially the pH. The reaction under strong alkaline condition proceeds well even at low reaction temperatures (80–90°C). Under acidic conditions, higher temperatures (130–160°C) are required to attain the same degrees of cracking. The reaction patterns of the oxidative cracking reaction involve the cleavage of lignin ring, aryl ether bond, or other linkages within lignin. By using the findings of this investigation and those of previous work, we have illustrated the reaction pathways for degradation of PHL under alkaline and acidic conditions. Aldehydes and aromatic acids are interm ediate products in the oxidative degradation of lignin. However, they were produced only in trace amounts owing to rapid degradation induced by hydrogen peroxide.

Epoxidation of propylene with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by heteropolyphosphatotungstate

The epoxidation of propylene with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by a reaction-controlled phase transfer catalyst (RCPT) composed of quaternary ammonium heteropolyoxotungstates in acetonitrile medium is studied. The influence of several factors on the reaction is studied, such as the reaction temperature, the effect of H₂O amount, the reaction time, the effect of the catalyst amount, solvent effect and the recycle of the catalyst. Under mild conditions, H₂O₂ conversion is 98.6%, and propylene oxide (PO) selectivity based on H₂O₂ is 97.2%. During the epoxidation, the catalyst is dissolved in the solution. However, after H₂O₂ is used up, the catalyst can be recovered as a precipitate and can be recycled. We find that the recycled catalyst has similar catalytic activity as the fresh one.

Reactions of hydrogen peroxide vapor dissociated in a microwave plasma

Analysis of the plasma emission from a low-pressure microwave cavity discharge through flowing hydrogen peroxide vapor showed that both H and OH were produced in proportions which varied with the applied power. When the dissociated vapor was condensed at 195 K only water was obtained; at 77 K, H₂O₂ and H₂O₄ were also obtained. Their formation could not be increased by increasing the H atom or OH radical concentration in the plasma. When the reaction time of the dissociated vapor between the plasma exit and the cold surface was increased, the rate of H₂O₂ formation increased mostly at the expense of water formation. It appears that, as in the case of the reaction of H with O₂, the rate of H₂O₂ formation is dependent on the concentration of O₂ produced in the spatial afterglow by the gas-phase reactions of the hydroxyl radicals.
