Insights into the reaction mechanism between propadienylidene and ethylene: a DFT study

The reaction mechanism between propadienylidene and ethylene has been systematically investigated employing the B3LYP/6-311++G** and MP2/cc-pVTZ levels of theory to better understand the reactivity of propadienylidene with unsaturated hydrocarbons. Geometry optimization, vibrational analysis, and energy property for the involved stationary points on the potential energy surface have been calculated. Two important initial reaction complexes characterized by three- and four-membered ring structures have been located firstly. After that, three different products possessing three-, four-, and five-membered ring characters have been obtained through three reaction pathways. In the first reaction pathway, a three-membered ring alkyne compound has been obtained. As for the second reaction pathway, it is a diffusion-controlled reaction, resulting in the formation of the four-membered ring conjugated diene compound. A five-membered conjugated diene compound has been obtained in the third reaction pathway, which is the most stable product in the available products thermodynamically. On the other hand, the second reaction pathway is the most favorable reaction to proceed kinetically.     

Kinetic study of Berthelot reaction steps in the absence and presence of coupling reagents

Several reaction steps in the Berthelot reaction for the determination of ammonia have been separately studied. A reaction order of two has been confirmed for the reaction between HOCl and NH(3). The rate constant for this reaction has been determined to be 3.2 x 10(6)l.mole(-1).sec(-1). The first evidence for the formation of benzoquinonechlorimine is presented. Pentacyanoferrate coupling reagents which accelerate the production of indophenol have been found to operate on the reaction between NH(2)Cl and phenol. The rate constant for the final step of the reaction sequence has been determined to be 5.3 x 10(-3)l.mole(-1).sec(-1). A reaction between chlorimine and pentacyanoferrate compounds has been found to be responsible for the formation of a green product in the presence of excess of coupling reagent.

Mechanistic study of the oxidation of -ascorbic acid by chloranil at the nitrobenzene water interface

The redox reaction between -ascorbic acid in water and chloranil in nitrobenzene has been studied by means of polarography with an ascending water electrode as well as cyclic voltammetry with a stationary interface. Through accurate measurement of the limiting currents, it has been suggested that the redox reaction should be a two-electron reaction rather than a one-electron reaction described previously. A spectrophotometric technique has also been used to observe that the redox reaction proceeds spontaneously under certain conditions even without electrochemical control. Based on these findings, it has been concluded that the present heterogeneous charge transfer reaction is the ion transfer of chloranil semiquinone radical, which is driven by the homogeneous electron transfer between ascorbic acid and chloranil in the aqueous phase.

Kinetics of phenol oxidation with ozone in a thin layer on a solid surface

Ozone has been reacted with phenol in thin supported layers, and the dynamics of this reaction has been investigated. The stoichiometry of this reaction coincides with the stoichiometry of the same reaction in solution. Specific reaction rate (β) has been determined for various phenol conversions. The effective rate constant of the reaction, estimated by extrapolating β to zero reaction time, is significantly higher than the rate constant of the reaction in solution. The reaction between ozone and phenol is diffusion-controlled. The reaction products form a barrier layer, which protects the deeper phenol layers against ozone. The barrier layer is as thick as 8–15 phenol monolayers.

Experimental study of a diffusion-controlled reaction involving a chain molecule with terminal reactive sites

Diffusion-controlled reaction of electron transfer from diphenylsilane radical anions to the series of α- and α,ω-bromoalkanes with alkane chain length up to 18 atoms has been studied in n-dodecane solutions. At room temperature, reaction rate constants have been determined and corresponding reaction radii have been evaluated. It has been shown that a not-too-long chain molecule, which contains two terminal reaction sites and participates in the diffusion-controlled reaction, may be considered as a rapidly rotating pair of reacting sinks with a distance between their centers equal to the mean-square end-to-end distance of the molecule.     

Temperature vs. time sequences to palliate deactivation in parallel and in series-parallel with the main reaction: parametric study

The calculation of temperature vs. time sequences to palliate catalyst deactivation in an integral reactor has been studied either by maintaining constant the conversion at the reactor outlet in a simple reaction or by maintaining constant the concentration of a given component at the outlet in a complex reaction system. The experimental systems studied, which are a simple one (dehydration of 2-ethylhexanol) and a complex one (isomerization of cis-butene), have kinetic models of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson type for the main reaction and deactivation, with deactivation by coke dependent on the concentration of the reaction components. In the reaction of dehydration of 2-ethylhexanol deactivation occurs in parallel with the main reaction and in the isomerization of cis-butene deactivation occurs in series-parallel with the main reaction. A parametric study has been carried out for both reaction systems. The sequences calculated have been experimentally proven in an automated reaction apparatus.

Exact quantum calculations on the collinear hydrogen atom transfer reaction I. Study on oscillations of the reaction probabilities of Cl + HCl

1-D quantum calculations of reaction probabilities have been carried out for the collinear reaction Cl + HCl (v≤3)→ClH (v′≤3) + Cl using hyperspherical coordinates. An LEPS potential energy surface with a shallow well depth of ?3.22 KJ/mol has been used in the calculations. The state-to-state reaction probabilities have been calculated. According to the results obtained we found that the diagonal (v=v′) reaction probabilities dominate over the off-diagonal (v≠v′) reaction probabilities and the largest off-diagonal reaction probabilities are smaller than 0.1. The reaction probabilities show oscillation as a function of energy. Dynamic resonances strengthen for the potential energy surface with a well.

Mechanistic Study on the Ozone‐Mercury Reaction and the Effect of Water and Water Dimer Molecules

The thermodynamics and mechanism of the reaction of elemental mercury with ozone has been studied computationally. The effect of water and water dimer molecules on the reaction has also been investigated. For dry reaction, we obtained two pathways and geometry optimization, atoms in molecules analysis and vibrational frequencies of all component of reaction have been used for confirming of reaction mechanism. Thermodynamic variable of reaction has been calculated. For the reaction in the presence of the water, our studies focus on ozone‐mercury complex reaction with water and water dimer and obtained the mechanism of reactions. Comparison of wet and dry reaction shows the energy profile of reaction decreases with water molecule correspond to experimental prediction. Calculated thermodynamic variable of all reaction shows the Gibbs free energy of reaction decreases with the number of water molecule.     

Exact quantum and TST-CEQ study of the collinear reaction O+HCl

Exact quantum calculations of reaction probabilities have been carried out using hyperspherical coordinates for the collinearr reaction O+HCl(v <1) -OH(v'<1)+Cl . A generalized LEPS potential energy surface with a barrier height of 8.12 kcal/mol has been used in the calculations. According to the calculated results we found that (1) the reaction probability oscillates with energy, (2) the reaction probability shows vibrational adiabaticity, although it is poorer than that for symmetric reaction Cl + HC1. The analysis of resonance has also been done. The reaction rate constants and average cross sections have been calculated by TST-CEQ method. The rate constants are in agreement with that by QCT and smaller than the experimental one. Finally, the threshold has been estimated and is in good agreement with that of the literature.
