Kinetics of the gas-phase reaction of OH with chlorobenzene.

ABSTRACT: The kinetics of the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with chlorobenzene was studied experimentally using a pulsed laser photolysis/pulsed laser induced fluorescence technique over a wide range of temperatures, 298-670 K, and at pressures between 13.33 and 39.92 kPa. The bimolecular rate constants demonstrate different behavior at low and high temperatures. At room temperature, T = 298.8 +/- 1.5 K, the rate constant is equal to (6.02 +/- 0.34) x 10(-13) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1); at high temperatures (474-670 K), the rate constant values are significantly lower and have a positive temperature dependence that can be described by an Arrhenius expression k1(T) = (1.01 +/- 0.35) x 10(-11) exp[(-2490 +/- 170 K)/T] cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1). This behavior is consistent with the low-temperature reaction being dominated by reversible addition and the high-temperature reaction representing abstraction and addition-elimination channels. The potential energy surface of the reaction was studied using quantum chemical methods, and a transition state theory model was developed for all reaction channels. The temperature dependences of the high-temperature rate constants obtained in calculations using the method of isodesmic reactions for transition states (IRTS) and the CBS-QB3 method are in very good agreement with experiment, with deviations smaller than the estimated experimental uncertainties. The G3//B3LYP-based calculated rate constants are in disagreement with the experimental values. The IRTS-based model was used to provide modified Arrhenius expressions for the temperature dependences of the rate constant for the abstraction and addition-elimination (Cl replacement) channels of the reaction.

Project description:Isocyanic acid, HNCO, mainly emitted by combustion processes, is doubted to be detrimental to human health if its concentration surpasses ∼1 ppbv. Very little information has been found regarding the HNCO loss in the gas phase. This study aims to close this knowledge gap by performing a theoretical kinetic study on the reaction of HNCO with the propargyl radical. The potential energy surface of the HNCO + C3H3 reaction was characterized utilizing high-level CCSD(T)/CBS(TQ5)//B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) quantum-chemical approaches, followed by TST and RRKM/ME kinetic computations. The obtained results reveal that the reaction can proceed via H-abstraction, leading to the C3H4 + NCO bimolecular products with energy barriers of 23-25 kcal/mol, and/or addition, resulting in C4H4NO intermediates with 23-26 kcal/mol barrier heights. The C4H4NO adducts when formed can decompose to products and/or return to HNCO + C3H3 in which the reverse decompositions are found to be dominant with a branching ratio that accounts for nearly 100% at 300 K and 760 Torr. The calculated P-independent rate coefficients indicate that at low temperatures, the H-abstraction channels are insignificant. However, at high temperatures (T > 1500 K), the H-abstraction path leading to H3CCCH + NCO prevails with a branching ratio of ∼50-53% in the descending 1800-1500 K temperature range at 760 Torr, while the H-abstraction leading to H2CCCH2 + NCO is favorable at T > 1800 K, with the yield reaching above 50% at 760 Torr. In contrast to the H-abstraction rate constants, the calculated values for the additions and the C4H4NO decompositions show a positive pressure dependence. Both the total rate constants for the reactions HNCO + C3H3 → products and C4H4NO → products, which are, respectively, k _total_bimo(T) = 3.53 × 10-23 T 3.27 exp[(-21.35 ± 0.06 kcal/mol)/RT] cm3 molecule-1 s-1 and k _total_uni(T) = 1.13 × 1025 T -4.02 exp[(-11.77 ± 0.16 kcal/mol)/RT] s-1, increase with the increasing temperature in the 300-2000 K range at 760 Torr. The rate constant of HNCO + C3H3 → products is about 8 orders of magnitude smaller than the value of HCHO + C3H3 → products, showing that HCHO is more reactive toward the C3H3 free radicals than HNCO. The computed heats of formation for several species agree well with the available literature data with the deviation less than 1.0 kcal/mol, indicating that the methods used in this study are extremely reliable. With the given results, it is vigorously suggested that the predicted rate constants, together with the thermodynamic data of the species involved, can be confidently used for modeling HNCO-related systems under atmospheric and combustion conditions.

Project description:The potential energy surface (PES) of the C6H5 + NH2 reaction has been investigated by using ab initio CCSD(T)//B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) calculations. The conventional transition-state theory (TST) and the variable reaction coordinate-TST (VRC-TST) have been used to predict the rate constants for the channels possessing tight and barrierless transition states, respectively. The Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus/Master equation (RRKM/ME) theory has been utilized to determine the pressure-dependent rate constants for these reactions. The PES shows that the reaction begins with an exothermic barrierless addition of NH2 to C6H5 producing the vital intermediate state, namely, aniline (C6H5NH2, IS1). Once IS1 is generated, it can further isomerize to various intermediate states, which can give rise to different products, including PR4 (4,5,6-trihydro-1-amino phenyl + H2), PR5 (3,4,5,6-tetrahydro phenyl + NH3), PR6 (2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-1-imidogen phenyl + H2), PR9 (3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1-imidogen phenyl + H2), and PR10 (2,5,6-trihydro-1-amino phenyl + H2), of which the most stable product, PR5, was formed by the most favorable channel going through the two advantageous transition states T1/11 (-28.9 kcal/mol) and T11P5 (-21.5 kcal/mol). The calculated rate constants for the low-energy channel, 1.37 × 10-9 and 2.16 × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at T = 300, P = 1 Torr and T = 2000 K, P = 760 Torr, respectively, show that the title reaction is almost pressure- and temperature-dependent. The negative temperature-dependent rate coefficients can be expressed in the modified Arrhenius form of k 1 = 8.54 × 1013 T -7.20 exp (-7.07 kcal·mol-1/RT) and k 2 = 2.42 × 1015 T -7.61 exp (-7.75 kcal·mol-1/RT) at 1 and 10 Torr, respectively, and in the temperature range of 300-2000 K. The forward and reverse rate coefficients as well as the high-pressure equilibrium constants of the C6H5 + NH2 ↔ IS1 process were also predicted; their values revealed that its kinetics do not depend on pressure at low temperature but strongly depend on pressure at high temperature. Moreover, the predicted formation enthalpies of reactants and the enthalpy changes of some channels are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Project description:The present relative kinetic study reports on the experimentally determined gas-phase reaction rate coefficients of OH radicals with a series of seven cis-3-hexenyl esters. The experiments were carried out in the environmental simulation chamber made of quartz from the "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of Iasi (ESC-Q-UAIC), Romania, at a temperature of (298 ± 2) K and a total air pressure of (1000 ± 10) mbar. In situ long-path Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to monitor cis-3-hexenyl formate (Z3HF, (Z)-CH3CH2CH═CH(CH2)2OC(O)H), cis-3-hexenyl acetate (Z3HAc, (Z)-CH3CH2CH═CH(CH2)2OC(O)CH3), cis-3-hexenyl isobutyrate (Z3HiB, (Z)-CH3CH2CH═CH(CH2)2OC(O)CH(CH3)2), cis-3-hexenyl 3-methylbutanoate (Z3H3MeB, (Z)-CH3CH2CH═CH(CH2)2OC(O)CH2CH(CH3)2), cis-3-hexenyl hexanoate (Z3HH, (Z)-CH3CH2CH═CH(CH2)2OC(O)(CH2)4CH3), cis-3-hexenyl cis-3-hexenoate (Z3HZ3H, (Z,Z)-CH3CH2CH═CH(CH2)2OC(O)CH2CH═CHCH2CH3), cis-3-hexenyl benzoate (Z3HBz, (Z)-CH3CH2CH═CH(CH2)2OC(O)C6H5), and the reference compounds. The following reaction rate coefficients (in 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1) were obtained for the OH radical-initiated gas-phase oxidation of cis-3-hexenyl esters: (4.13 ± 0.45) for Z3HF, (4.19 ± 0.38) for Z3HAc, (4.84 ± 0.39) for Z3HiB, (5.39 ± 0.61) for Z3H3MeB, (7.00 ± 0.56) for Z3HH, (10.58 ± 1.40) for Z3HZ3H, and (3.41 ± 0.28) for Z3HBz. The results are discussed in terms of hexenyl ester reactivity and compared with the available literature data and structure-activity relationship (SAR) estimates. The atmospheric implications based on the average lifetimes of the investigated cis-3-hexenyl esters are discussed in the present study. The gas-phase rate coefficients for OH radical reactions are given herein for the first time for cis-3-hexenyl isobutyrate, cis-3-hexenyl 3-methylbutanoate, cis-3-hexenyl hexanoate cis-3-hexenyl cis-3-hexenoate, and cis-3-hexenyl benzoate. The newly determined gas-phase reaction rate coefficients provide new information for existing kinetic databases and contribute to the further development of SAR methodologies useful for predicting the reactivity of oxygenated volatile organic compounds.
