Kinetics of the reactions of Cl(2PJ) and Br(2P3/2) with O3

A laser flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique has been employed to study the kinetics of the important stratospheric reactions Cl(²P_J) + O₃ → ClO + O₂ and Br(²P_3/2) + O₃ → BrO + O₂ as a function of temperature. The temperature dependence observed for the Cl(²P_J) + O₃ reaction is nonArrhenius, but can be adequately described by the following two Arrhenius expressions (units are cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, errors are 2σ and represent precision only): ??₁(T) = (1.19 ± 0.21) × 10^?11 exp [(?33 ± 37)/T] for T = 189–269K and ??₁(T) = (2.49 ± 0.38) × 10^?11 exp[(?233 ± 46)/T] for T = 269–385 K. At temperatures below 230 K, the rate coefficients determined in this study are faster than any reported previously. Incorporation of our values for ??₁(T) into stratospheric models would increase calculated ClO levels and decrease calculated HCl levels; hence the calculated efficiency of ClO_x catalyzed ozone destruction would increase. The temperature dependence observed for the (²P_3/2) + O₃ reaction is adequately described by the following Arrhenius expression (units are cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, errors are 2σ and represent precision only): ??₂(T) = (1.50 ± 0.16) × 10^?1 exp[(?775 ± 30)/T] for T = 195–392 K. While not in quantitative agreement with Arrhenius parameters reported in most previous studies, our results almost exactly reproduce the average of all earlier studies and, therefore, will not affect the choice of ??₂(T) for use in modeling stratospheric BrO_x chemistry.     

Kinetics of the reactions of O(3P) and Cl(2P) with HBr and Br2

A laser flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique has been employed to study the kinetics of reactions (1)–(4) as a function of temperature. In all cases, the concentration of the excess reagent, i.e., HBr or Br₂, was measured in situ in the slow flow system by UV-visible photometry. Heterogeneous dark reactions between XBr (X = H or Br) and the photolytic precursors for Cl(²P) and O(³P) (Cl₂ and O₃, respectively) were avoided by injecting minimal amounts of precursor into the reaction mixture immediately upstream from the reaction zone. The following Arrhenius expressions summarize our results (errors are 2σ and represent precision only, units are cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1): ??₁ = (1.76 ± 0.80) × 10^?11 exp[(40 ± 100)/T]; ??₂ = (2.40 ± 1.25) × 10^?10 exp[?(144 ± 176)/T]; ??₃ = (5.11 ± 2.82) × 10^?12 exp[?(1450 ± 160)/T]; ??₄ = (2.25 ± 0.56) × 10^?11 exp[?(400 ± 80)/T]. The consistency (or lack thereof) of our results with those reported in previous kinetics and dynamics studies of reactions (1)–(4) is discussed.     

The interaction of CO2 and CO with Fe‐doped SrTiO3(100) surfaces

The interaction of CO₂ and CO with 0.013 at.% Fe‐doped SrTiO₃(100) was investigated in situ with Metastable Induced Electron Spectroscopy (MIES) and XPS at room temperature. To clear up the influence of surface defects, cleaned and sputtered SrTiO₃ surfaces were investigated. Sputtering results in the breaking of Ti? O bonds in the surface and the formation of oxygen‐related defects as well as reduced titanium on the surface. Cleaned SrTiO₃ surfaces do neither interact with CO₂ nor with CO. Sputtered surfaces show a CO formation during CO₂ exposure and—to a lesser extent—during CO exposure. The CO groups can be detected very well with MIES because of its extreme surface sensitivity. With XPS, the characteristic carbonate peak shift of the C 1s orbitals can be detected. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The interaction of H2O with Fe‐doped SrTiO3(100) surfaces

The interaction of H₂O with 0.013 at.% Fe‐doped SrTiO₃(100) was investigated in situ with Metastable Induced Electron Spectroscopy (MIES), Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS) and XPS at room temperature. Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) was applied to gather information about the surface termination. To clear up the influence of surface defects, untreated and weakly sputtered SrTiO₃ surfaces were investigated. The sputtering results in the formation of oxygen‐related defects in the top surface layer. The interaction of untreated SrTiO₃ surfaces with H₂O is only weak. Small amounts of OH groups can be identified only with MIES due to its extreme surface sensitivity. Sputtered surfaces show a larger OH formation. Nondissociative H₂O adsorption is not observed. We therefore conclude that the exposure of H₂O to SrTiO₃(100) results in the dissociation near surface defects only, resulting in the formation of surface hydroxyl groups.

2-Azetidinones from 3-aminopropanoic acids and thePh 3P/CCl4(CBr4) orPh 3P/Br2(I2) condensation systems

The title complexes are used as intramolecular cyclization agents to yield under mild conditions and average to good yields 2-azetidinones from variously substituted 3-aminopropanoic acids. The reaction is found to proceed in all examined cases stereospecifically, with one exception. No marked difference with respect to yields and stereospecificity is noted among the four condensation systems.

Quenching of I(2P1/2) by O3 and O(3P)

Oxygen-iodine lasers that utilize electrical or microwave discharges to produce singlet oxygen are currently being developed. The discharge generators differ from conventional chemical singlet oxygen generators in that they produce significant amounts of atomic oxygen. Post-discharge chemistry includes channels that lead to the formation of ozone. Consequently, removal of I(2P1/2) by O atoms and O3 may impact the efficiency of discharge driven iodine lasers. In the present study, we have measured the rate constants for quenching of I(2P1/2) by O(3P) atoms and O3 using pulsed laser photolysis techniques. The rate constant for quenching by O3, (1.8 +/- 0.4) x 10(-12) cm3 s-1, was found to be a factor of 5 smaller than the literature value. The rate constant for quenching by O(3P) was (1.2 +/- 0.2) x 10(-11) cm3 s-1.

Photochemical reactions of Re(CO)5Br with Ph2P(CH2) n PPh2 (n = 1, dppm; 2, dppe; 3, dppp)

The new complexes fac-[Re(CO)₃Br{Ph₂P(CH₂) _n PPh₂}] (1a–3a) [(1a), n = 1; (2a), n = 2; (3a), n = 3] and [Re₂(CO)₈Br₂{-Ph₂P(CH₂) _n PPh₂}] (1b–3b) [(1b), n = 1; (2b), n = 2; (3b), n = 3] have been prepared by the photochemical reaction of Re(CO)₅Br with Ph₂P(CH₂) _n PPh₂ (n = 1, dppm; 2, dppe; 3, dppp). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectroscopy, f.t.-i.r. and ³¹P-[¹H]-n.m.r. spectrometry. The spectroscopic studies suggest cis-chelate bidentate coordination of the ligand in fac-[Re(CO)₃Br{Ph₂P(CH₂) _n PPh₂}] (1a–3a) and cis-bridging bidentate coordination of the ligand between two metals in [Re₂(CO)₈Br₂{cis--Ph₂P(CH₂) _n PPh₂}] (1a–3a).     

On the interaction of O(1S) with O(3P)

The quenching rate for O(¹S) by O(³P) into the O(¹D) + O(¹D) channel is calculated using a theoretically calculated spin-orbit coupling matrix element. An upper bound to the rate is found to be 2.0 × 10^?14 cm³ s^?1 which is much smaller than the experimental value. The low value of the rate constant is the result of a spin-orbit coupling matrix element of about 3 cm^?1 at the relevant curve corssing.

The title compound is constituted of {[P(o-tolyl) 3]Br} (+) cations and [Cu 2Br 6] (2-) anions and contains molecular dibromine [d Br-Br = 2.341(1) A]. The latter is verified by thermogravimetry and mass spectrometry.     

Reactions of M(CO)5X (M = Mn, Re; X = Cl, Br) with (Ph2PCH2)3CCH3 (P3) and (Ph2P(CH2)2)3P (P3P'): synthetic, spectroscopic, electrochemical, and electrospray mass spectrometric studies

The reactions of M(CO)5X (M = Mn, Re; X = Cl, Br) with (Ph2PCH2)3CCH3 (P3) and (Ph2P(CH2)2)3P (P3P') are investigated, and the products are characterized by IR, NMR (31P and 13C), and electrospray mass spectrometric (ESMS) techniques. With P3, the major products are fac-M(CO)3(eta 2-P3)X (syn and anti isomers) and cis,fac-M(CO)2(eta 3-P3)X, and with P3P', the major product for each metal is cis,mer-M(CO)2(eta 3-P3P')X, but cis-[M(CO)2(eta 4-P3P')]X and fac-[Re(CO)3(eta 3-P3P')]X are also characterized. Addition of MeI to those complexes containing pendant phosphine groups produces the corresponding phosphonium cations without affecting the remainder of the molecule. On the voltammetric time scale, electrochemical oxidation of cis,fac-Mn(CO)2(eta 3-P3)X yields the corresponding 17e cation cis,fac-[Mn(CO)2(eta 3-P3)X]+, but on the longer time scale of exhaustive electrolysis or chemical oxidation, the product is fac-[Mn(CO)3(eta 3-P3)]+. In contrast, the rhenium cation cis,fac-[Re(CO)2(eta 3-P3)X]+ is stable on the synthetic time scale, but upon oxidation of cis,fac-Re(CO)2(eta 3-P3)X with NOBF4, the final product is the 18e [Re(CO)(NO)(eta 3-P3)X]+. cis,mer-Mn(CO)2(eta 3-P3P')X is reversibly oxidized to cis,mer-[Mn(CO)2(eta 3-P3P')X]+ on the voltammetric time scale, but on the longer synthetic time scale, the product isomerizes to trans-[Mn(CO)2(eta 3-P3P')X]+, which can be reduced to trans-Mn(CO)2(eta 3-P3P')X. Upon voltammetric oxidation, the corresponding rhenium complexes show an initial irreversible response associated with the pendant phosphine group prior to the reversible oxidation of the metal on the synthetic time scale; spectroscopic data indicate formation of cis,mer-Re(CO)2(eta 3-P3P'O)X. The complex cis,mer-[Re(CO)2(eta 3-P3P'Me)X]+ shows only the reversible metal oxidation response. ESMS data are obtained directly for the methylated cationic complexes, and neutral complexes are either oxidized or adducted with sodium ions to produce cationic species.     

The interaction of H(2)O(2) with ice surfaces between 203 and 233 K

The interaction of H(2)O(2) with ice surfaces at temperatures between 203 and 233 K was investigated using a low pressure, coated-wall flow tube equipped with a chemical ionisation/electron impact mass spectrometer. Equilibrium surface coverages of H(2)O(2) on ice were measured at various concentrations and temperatures to derive Langmuir-type adsorption isotherms. H(2)O(2) was found to be strongly partitioned to the ice surface at low temperatures, with a partition coefficient, K(linC), equal to 2.1 × 10(-5) exp(3800/T) cm. At 228 K, this expression results in values of K(linC) which are orders of magnitude larger than the single previous determination and suggests that H(2)O(2) may be significantly partitioned to the ice phase in cirrus clouds. The partition coefficient for H(2)O(2) was compared to several other trace gases which hydrogen-bond to ice surfaces and a good correlation with the free energy of condensation found. For this class of trace gas a simple parameterisation for calculating K(linC)(T) from thermodynamic properties was established.
