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.

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.

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.

Exceptionally Stable CH3NH3PbI3 Films in Moderate Humid Environmental Condition.

Project description:An unprecedentedly stable CH3NH3PbI3 film synthesized by a modified chemical vapor transport method is demonstrated. The results show that the crystal structure, light absorption, and device efficiency do not degrade after storing for 100 d in air with 40% relative humidity, while the conventional solution-processed perovskites are usually stable for less than 20 d in similar conditions.

Atomistic dynamics of elimination and nucleophilic substitution disentangled for the F- + CH3CH2Cl reaction.

Project description:Chemical reaction dynamics are studied to monitor and understand the concerted motion of several atoms while they rearrange from reactants to products. When the number of atoms involved increases, the number of pathways, transition states and product channels also increases and rapidly presents a challenge to experiment and theory. Here we disentangle the dynamics of the competition between bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) and base-induced elimination (E2) in the polyatomic reaction F- + CH3CH2Cl. We find quantitative agreement for the energy- and angle-differential reactive scattering cross-sections between ion-imaging experiments and quasi-classical trajectory simulations on a 21-dimensional potential energy hypersurface. The anti-E2 pathway is most important, but the SN2 pathway becomes more relevant as the collision energy is increased. In both cases the reaction is dominated by direct dynamics. Our study presents atomic-level dynamics of a major benchmark reaction in physical organic chemistry, thereby pushing the number of atoms for detailed reaction dynamics studies to a size that allows applications in many areas of complex chemical networks and environments.

Gas-phase kinetics of CH3CHO with OH radicals between 11.7 and 177.5 K.

Project description:Gas-phase reactions in the interstellar medium (ISM) are a source of molecules in this environment. The knowledge of the rate coefficient for neutral-neutral reactions as a function of temperature, k(T), is essential to improve astrochemical models. In this work, we have experimentally measured k(T) for the reaction between the OH radical and acetaldehyde, both present in many sources of the ISM. Laser techniques coupled to a CRESU system were used to perform the kinetic measurements. The obtained modified Arrhenius equation is k(T = 11.7-177.5 K) = (1.2 ± 0.2) × 10-11 (T/300 K)-(1.8±0.1) exp-{(28.7 ± 2.5)/T} cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The k(T) value of the title reaction has been measured for the first time below 60 K. No pressure dependence of k(T) was observed at ca. 21, 50, 64 and 106 K. Finally, a pure gas-phase model indicates that the title reaction could become the main CH3CO formation pathway in dark molecular clouds, assuming that CH3CO is the main reaction product at 10 K.

Silica-Supported PdGa Nanoparticles: Metal Synergy for Highly Active and Selective CO2-to-CH3OH Hydrogenation.

Project description:The direct conversion of CO2 to CH3OH represents an appealing strategy for the mitigation of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Here, we report that small, narrowly distributed alloyed PdGa nanoparticles, prepared via surface organometallic chemistry from silica-supported GaIII isolated sites, selectively catalyze the hydrogenation of CO2 to CH3OH. At 230 °C and 25 bar, high activity (22.3 molMeOH molPd -1 h-1) and selectivity for CH3OH/DME (81%) are observed, while the corresponding silica-supported Pd nanoparticles show low activity and selectivity. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), IR, NMR, and scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray provide evidence for alloying in the as-synthesized material. In situ XAS reveals that there is a dynamic dealloying/realloying process, through Ga redox, while operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy demonstrates that, while both methoxy and formate species are observed in reaction conditions, the relative concentrations are inversely proportional, as the chemical potential of the gas phase is modulated. High CH3OH selectivities, across a broad range of conversions, are observed, showing that CO formation is suppressed for this catalyst, in contrast to reported Pd catalysts.

Feshbach resonances in the F?+?H2O???HF?+?OH reaction.

Project description:Transiently trapped quantum states along the reaction coordinate in the transition-state region of a chemical reaction are normally called Feshbach resonances or dynamical resonances. Feshbach resonances trapped in the HF-OH interaction well have been discovered in an earlier photodetchment study of FH2O-; however, it is not clear whether these resonances are accessible by the F?+?H2O reaction. Here we report an accurate state-to-state quantum dynamics study of the F?+?H2O???HF?+?OH reaction on an accurate newly constructed potential energy surface. Pronounced oscillatory structures are observed in the total reaction probabilities, in particular at collision energies below 0.2?eV. Detailed analysis reveals that these oscillating structures originate from the Feshbach resonance states trapped in the hydrogen bond well on the HF(v'?=?2)-OH vibrationally adiabatic potentials, producing mainly HF(v'?=?1) product. Therefore, the resonances observed in the photodetchment study of FH2O- are accessible to the reaction.

Stereodynamical control of product branching in multi-channel barrierless hydrogen abstraction of CH3OH by F.

Project description:Hydrogen abstraction from methanol (CH3OH) by F atoms presents an ideal proving ground to investigate dynamics of multi-channel reactions, because two types of hydrogen can be abstracted from the methanol molecule leading to the HF + CH3O and HF + CH2OH products. Using the quasi-classical trajectory approach on a globally accurate potential energy surface based on high-level ab initio calculations, this work reports a comprehensive dynamical investigation of this multi-channel reaction, yielding measurable attributes including integral and differential cross sections, as well as branching ratios. It is shown that while complex-forming and direct mechanisms coexist at low collision energies, these barrierless reaction channels are dominated at high energies by the direct mechanism, in which the reaction is only possible for trajectories entering into the respective dynamical cones of acceptance. Perhaps more importantly, the non-statistical product branching is found to be dictated by unique stereodynamics in the entrance channels.
