Effect of ammonia and water molecule on OH + CH₃OH reaction under tropospheric condition.

ABSTRACT: The rate coefficients for OH + CH₃OH and OH + CH₃OH (+ X) (X = NH₃, H₂O) reactions were calculated using microcanonical, and canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) between 200 and 400 K based on potential energy surface constructed using CCSD(T)//M06-2X/6-311++G(3df,3pd). The results show that OH + CH₃OH is dominated by the hydrogen atoms abstraction from CH₃ position in both free and ammonia/water catalyzed ones. This result is in consistent with previous experimental and theoretical studies. The calculated rate coefficient for the OH + CH₃OH (8.8 × 10^-13 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1), for OH + CH₃OH (+ NH₃) [1.9 × 10^-21 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1] and for OH + CH₃OH (+ H₂O) [8.1 × 10^-16 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1] at 300 K. The rate coefficient is at least 8 order magnitude [for OH + CH₃OH(+ NH₃) reaction] and 3 orders magnitude [OH + CH₃OH (+ H₂O)] are smaller than free OH + CH₃OH reaction. Our calculations predict that the catalytic effect of single ammonia and water molecule on OH + CH₃OH reaction has no effect under tropospheric conditions because the dominated ammonia and water-assisted reaction depends on ammonia and water concentration, respectively. As a result, the total effective reaction rate coefficients are smaller. The current study provides a comprehensive example of how basic and neutral catalysts effect the most important atmospheric prototype alcohol reactions.

Can a single ammonia and water molecule enhance the formation of methanimine under tropospheric conditions?: kinetics of •CH2NH2 + O2 (+NH3/H2O).

Project description:The aminomethyl (•CH2NH2) radical is generated from the photo-oxidation of methylamine in the troposphere and is an important precursor for new particle formation. The effect of ammonia and water on the gas-phase formation of methanimine (CH2NH) from the •CH2NH2 + O2 reaction is not known. Therefore, in this study, the potential energy surfaces for •CH2NH2 + O2 (+NH3/H2O) were constructed using ab initio//DFT, i.e., coupled-cluster theory (CCSD(T))//hybrid-density functional theory, i.e., M06-2X with the 6-311++G (3df, 3pd) basis set. The Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM)/master equation (ME) simulation with Eckart's asymmetric tunneling was used to calculate the rate coefficients and branching fractions relevant to the troposphere. The results show 40% formation of CH2NH at the low-pressure (<1 bar) and 100% formation of CH2NH2OO• at the high-pressure limit (HPL) condition. When an ammonia molecule is introduced into the reaction, there is a slight increase in the formation of CH2NH; however, when a water molecule is introduced into the reaction, the increase in the formation of CH2NH was from 40% to ∼80%. The calculated rate coefficient for •CH2NH2 + O2 (+NH3) [1.9 × 10-23 cm3 molecule-1 s-1] and for CH2NH2 + O2 (+H2O) [3.3 × 10-17 cm3 molecule-1 s-1] is at least twelve and six order magnitudes smaller than those for free •CH2NH2 + O2 (2 × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298 K) reactions, respectively. Our result is consistent with that of previous experimental and theoretical analysis and in good agreement with its isoelectronic analogous reaction. The work also provides a clear understanding of the formation of tropospheric carcinogenic compounds, i.e., hydrogen cyanide (HCN).

Low temperature reaction dynamics for CH3OH + OH collisions on a new full dimensional potential energy surface.

Project description:Is the rise of the rate constant measured in laval expansion experiments of OH with organic molecules at low temperatures due to the reaction between the reactants or due to the formation of complexes with the buffer gas? This question has importance for understanding the evolution of prebiotic molecules observed in different astrophysical objects. Among these molecules methanol is one of the most widely observed, and its reaction with OH has been studied by several groups showing a fast increase in the rate constant under 100 K. Transition state theory doesn't reproduce this behavior and here dynamical calculations are performed on a new full dimensional potential energy surface developed for this purpose. The calculated classical reactive cross sections show an increase at low collision energies due to a complex forming mechanism. However, the calculated rate constant at temperatures below 100 K remains lower than the observed one. Quantum effects are likely responsible for the measured behavior at low temperatures.

Uncovering an oxide ion substitution for the OH- + CH3F reaction.

Project description:Theoretical investigations on chemical reactions allow us to understand the dynamics of the possible pathways and identify new unexpected routes. Here, we develop a global analytical potential energy surface (PES) for the OH- + CH3F reaction in order to perform high-level dynamics simulations. Besides bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) and proton abstraction, our quasi-classical trajectory computations reveal a novel oxide ion substitution leading to the HF + CH3O- products. This exothermic reaction pathway occurs via the CH3OH⋯F- deep potential well of the SN2 product channel as a result of a proton abstraction from the hydroxyl group by the fluoride ion. The present detailed dynamics study of the OH- + CH3F reaction focusing on the surprising oxide ion substitution demonstrates how incomplete our knowledge is of fundamental chemical reactions.

Efficient and selective photocatalytic CH4 conversion to CH3OH with O2 by controlling overoxidation on TiO2.

Project description:The conversion of photocatalytic methane into methanol in high yield with selectivity remains a huge challenge due to unavoidable overoxidation. Here, the photocatalytic oxidation of CH4 into CH3OH by O2 is carried out on Ag-decorated facet-dominated TiO2. The {001}-dominated TiO2 shows a durable CH3OH yield of 4.8 mmol g-1 h-1 and a selectivity of approximately 80%, which represent much higher values than those reported in recent studies and are better than those obtained for {101}-dominated TiO2. Operando Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron spin resonance, and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques are used to comprehensively clarify the underlying mechanism. The straightforward generation of oxygen vacancies on {001} by photoinduced holes plays a key role in avoiding the formation of •CH3 and •OH, which are the main factors leading to overoxidation and are generally formed on the {101} facet. The generation of oxygen vacancies on {001} results in distinct intermediates and reaction pathways (oxygen vacancy → Ti-O2• → Ti-OO-Ti and Ti-(OO) → Ti-O• pairs), thus achieving high selectivity and yield for CH4 photooxidation into CH3OH.

Facile Synthesis of 3d Transition-Metal-Doped ?-Co(OH)2 Nanomaterials in Water-Methanol Mediated with Ammonia for Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Project description:Layered cobalt hydroxides are cost-efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the field of energy conversion. Herein, we developed a facile synthesis method of 3d transition-metal-doped ?-Co(OH)2 nanomaterials mediated with ammonia in water-methanol at room temperature. The doping of Cu2+ and Ni2+ leads to flower-like nanostructures similar to pure ?-Co(OH)2, whereas the doping of Fe2+ produces nanoparticles with more than 2 times larger surface area in comparison with the Cu2+- and Ni2+-doped nanoflowers. The obtained dispersion with the addition of Nafion can be used directly as an electrocatalyst for OER with excellent catalytic activity, especially that the overpotential of Fe2+ doped is as low as 290 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and the turnover frequency is improved by 3 times as compared with that of ?-Co(OH)2. Furthermore, the catalyst can be loaded onto foam nickel, which presents excellent durability with the current density unchanged under continuous chronoamperometry reaction for as long as 12 h and almost quantitative faradaic efficiency. The superior electrocatalytic properties combined with the simple synthesis without the tedious purification procedure is very promising for OER.

Product distribution and mechanism of the OH- initiated tropospheric degradation of three CFC replacement candidates: CH3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2, (CF3)2C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2 and (E/Z)-CF3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF.

Project description:The OH radical initiated photodegradation of 2-fluoropropene (CH3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2), 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(tri-fluoromethyl)propene ((CF3)2C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2) and (E/Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene ((E/Z)-CF3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF) has been investigated for the first time using a 1080 L quartz-glass environmental chamber at 298 ± 2 K and atmospheric pressure of synthetic air coupled with in situ FTIR spectroscopy to monitor reactants and products. The major products observed in the OH reaction were CH3C(O)F (98 ± 5)% together with HC(O)H (89 ± 7)% as a co-product, CF3C(O)F (103 ± 8)% together with HC(O)F (96 ± 7)% as a co-product and CF3C(O)CF3 (91 ± 8)% together with HC(O)H (98 ± 12)% as a co-product from the C1-C2 bond cleavage channel of the intermediate hydroxyalkoxy radical, formed by addition of OH to the terminal carbon of the double bond which is designated C1 of 2-fluoropropene, (E/Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene and 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(tri-fluoromethyl)propene, respectively. The present results are compared with previous studies for the reaction of OH with the separate isomers (E) and (Z) of 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene. In addition, atmospheric implications of the reactions studied are discussed.

The impact of water vapor on the OH reactivity toward CH3CHO at ultra-low temperatures (21.7-135.0 K): Experiments and theory.

Project description:The role of water vapor (H2O) and its hydrogen-bonded complexes in the gas-phase reactivity of organic compounds with hydroxyl (OH) radicals has been the subject of many recent studies. Contradictory effects have been reported at temperatures between 200 and 400 K. For the OH + acetaldehyde reaction, a slight catalytic effect of H2O was previously reported at temperatures between 60 and 118 K. In this work, we used Laval nozzle expansions to reinvestigate the impact of H2O on the OH-reactivity with acetaldehyde between 21.7 and 135.0 K. The results of this comprehensive study demonstrate that water, instead, slows down the reaction by factors of ∼3 (21.7 K) and ∼2 (36.2-89.5 K), and almost no effect of added H2O was observed at 135.0 K.

Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Kinetics of the CH3 + HBr → CH4 + Br Reaction and the Temperature Dependence of the Activation Energy of CH4 + Br → CH3 + HBr.

Project description:The rate coefficient of the reaction of CH3 with HBr was measured and calculated in the temperature range 225-960 K. The results of the measurements performed in a flow apparatus with mass spectrometric detection agree very well with the quasiclassical trajectory calculations performed on a previously developed potential energy surface. The experimental rate coefficients are described well with a double-exponential fit, k1(exp) = [1.44 × 10-12 exp(219/T) + 6.18 × 10-11 exp(-3730/T)] cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The individual rate coefficients below 500 K accord with the available experimental data as does the slightly negative activation energy in this temperature range, -1.82 kJ/mol. At higher temperatures, the activation energy was found to switch sign and it rises up to about an order of magnitude larger positive value than that below 500 K, and the rate coefficient is about 50% larger at 960 K than that around room temperature. The rate coefficients calculated with the quasiclassical trajectory method display the same tendencies and are within about 8% of the experimental data between 960 and 300 K and within 25% below that temperature. The significant variation of the magnitude of the activation energy can be reconciled with the tabulated heats of formation only if the activation energy of the reverse CH4 + Br reaction also significantly increases with the temperature.

The influence of a single water molecule on the reaction of BrO + HO2.

Project description:The influence of a single water molecule on the BrO + HO2 hydrogen extraction reaction has been explored by taking advantage of CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/6-311 + + G(d,p) method. The reaction in the absence of water have two distinct kinds of H-extraction channels to generate HOBr + O2 (1Δg) and HBr + O3, and the channel of generation of HOBr + O2 (1Δg) dominated the BrO + HO2 reaction. The rate coefficient of the most feasible channel for the BrO + HO2 reaction in the absence of water is estimated to be 1.44 × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298.15 K, which is consistent with the experiment. The introduction of water made the reaction more complex, but the products are unchanged. Four distinct channels, beginning with HO2…H2O with BrO, H2O…HO2 with BrO, BrO…H2O with HO2, H2O…BrO with HO2 are researched. The most feasible channels, stemming from H2O…HO2 with BrO, and BrO…H2O with HO2, are much slower than the reaction of BrO + HO2 without water, respectively. Thus, the existence of water molecule takes a negative catalytic role for BrO + HO2 reaction.

Quantum tunneling during interstellar surface-catalyzed formation of water: the reaction H + H2O2 ? H2O + OH.

Project description:The final step of the water formation network on interstellar grain surfaces starting from the H + O2 route is the reaction between H and H2O2. This reaction is known to have a high activation energy and therefore at low temperatures it can only proceed via tunneling. To date, however, no rate constants are available at temperatures below 200 K. In this work, we use instanton theory to compute rate constants for the title reaction with and without isotopic substitutions down to temperatures of 50 K. The calculations are based on density functional theory, with additional benchmarks for the activation energy using unrestricted single-reference and multireference coupled-cluster single-point energies. Gas-phase bimolecular rate constants are calculated and compared with available experimental data not only for H + H2O2 ? H2O + OH, but also for H + H2O2 ? H2 + HO2. We find a branching ratio where the title reaction is favored by at least two orders of magnitude at 114 K. In the interstellar medium this reaction predominantly occurs on water surfaces, which increases the probability that the two reactants meet. To mimic this, one, two, or three spectator H2O molecules are added to the system. Eley-Rideal bimolecular and Langmuir-Hinshelwood unimolecular rate constants are presented here. The kinetic isotope effects for the various cases are compared to experimental data as well as to expressions commonly used in astrochemical models. Both the rectangular barrier and the Eckart approximations lead to errors of about an order of magnitude. Finally, fits of the rate constants are provided as input for astrochemical models.
