Thermochemistrydata of reaction enthalpies and Gibbs free energies for four different stable structures of the Criegeeintermediates (singlet CH2OO ①1 A1 in C2v, triplet CH2OO ②3B1 in C2v, singlet CH2OO ③1A’ in Cs and triplet CH2OO ④ in C1 symmetry) involved in some of the gas-phase reactions were calculated at the standard Gaussian-2 [G2(MP2) and G2] and a modified G2, G2(fu1)[10],levels of theory. Relative energies among those Criegees and formic acid were compared. Chemical reactions incltlde the formation of Criegees, re-arrangement from Criegee to formic acid, dissociations (producing CH2(3B1)+O2, CH2(1A1)+O2, CO2+H2, CO2+2H, CO+H2O, OH+HCO) andthe reactions between Criegee and NO/H2O. Standard equilibrium constants for some reactions were investigated and may be obtained for all of the rest reactions involved in this study by the standard Gibbs free energies. It is shown that the formation of Criegee①-④ by ethylene and ozone, the re-arrangement from any Criegee to formic acid, the dissociation in producing CO2+O2and CO+H2O and the reactions between any Criegee and NO/H2O are all favourable thermodynamicaly. The dissociation in forming CO2+2H and OH+HCO is less favourable. While the dissociation in forming carbene (either in 3B1 or 1A1 state) is not allowed by values. Standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K for the four Criegees were predicted at the G2(ful) level of theory. Each value is the average value from ten of the above reactions and they are -4.3, 74.8,98.9 and 244.6 kJ mol-1 at the G2(ful) level for Criegee ① to Criegee ④, respectively. In addition, tile standard enthalpy of formation at 298 K for HOCH2OOH is further predicted to be -315.6 kJ mol-1 at the G2(MP2) level.展开更多

文摘The formation of oligomeric hydrogen peroxide triggered by Criegee intermediate maybe contributes significantly to the formation and growth of secondary organic aerosol(SOA).However,to date,the reactivity of C2 Criegee intermediates(CH_(3)CHOO)in areas contaminated with acidic gas remains poorly understood.Herein,high-level quantum chemical calculations and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics(BOMD)simulations are used to explore the reaction of CH_(3)CHOO and H_(2)SO_(4)both in the gas phase and at the airwater interface.In the gas phase,the addition reaction of CH_(3)CHOO with H_(2)SO_(4)to generate CH_(3)HC(OOH)OSO_(3)H(HPES)is near-barrierless,regardless of the presence of water molecules.BOMD simulations showthat the reaction at the air-water interface is even faster than that in the gas phase.Further calculations reveal that the HPES has a tendency to aggregate with sulfuric acids,ammonias,and water molecules to form stable clusters,meanwhile the oligomerization reaction of CH_(3)CHOO with HPES in the gas phase is both thermochemically and kinetically favored.Also,it is noted that the interfacial HPES−ion can attract H_(2)SO_(4),NH_(3),(COOH)_(2)and HNO_(3)for particle formation from the gas phase to the water surface.Thus,the results of this work not only elucidate the high atmospheric reactivity of C2 Criegee intermediates in polluted regions,but also deepen our understanding of the formation process of atmospheric SOA induced by Criegee intermediates.
文摘Criegee intermediate is believed to play an important role in the atmospheric chemistry.Because of its short life and the difficulty in experimental study, we carried out ah initio calculations on the thermochemistry of the Criegee involving reactions in this study. Thermochemistrydata of reaction enthalpies and Gibbs free energies for four different stable structures of the Criegeeintermediates (singlet CH2OO ①1 A1 in C2v, triplet CH2OO ②3B1 in C2v, singlet CH2OO ③1A’ in Cs and triplet CH2OO ④ in C1 symmetry) involved in some of the gas-phase reactions were calculated at the standard Gaussian-2 [G2(MP2) and G2] and a modified G2, G2(fu1)[10],levels of theory. Relative energies among those Criegees and formic acid were compared. Chemical reactions incltlde the formation of Criegees, re-arrangement from Criegee to formic acid, dissociations (producing CH2(3B1)+O2, CH2(1A1)+O2, CO2+H2, CO2+2H, CO+H2O, OH+HCO) andthe reactions between Criegee and NO/H2O. Standard equilibrium constants for some reactions were investigated and may be obtained for all of the rest reactions involved in this study by the standard Gibbs free energies. It is shown that the formation of Criegee①-④ by ethylene and ozone, the re-arrangement from any Criegee to formic acid, the dissociation in producing CO2+O2and CO+H2O and the reactions between any Criegee and NO/H2O are all favourable thermodynamicaly. The dissociation in forming CO2+2H and OH+HCO is less favourable. While the dissociation in forming carbene (either in 3B1 or 1A1 state) is not allowed by values. Standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K for the four Criegees were predicted at the G2(ful) level of theory. Each value is the average value from ten of the above reactions and they are -4.3, 74.8,98.9 and 244.6 kJ mol-1 at the G2(ful) level for Criegee ① to Criegee ④, respectively. In addition, tile standard enthalpy of formation at 298 K for HOCH2OOH is further predicted to be -315.6 kJ mol-1 at the G2(MP2) level.

文摘The reaction mechanism and kinetics of the simplest Criegee intermediate CH_(2)OO reaction with hydroperoxymethyl formate(HPMF)was investigated at high-level quantum chemistry calculations.HPMF has two reactive functional groups,-C(O)OH and-OOH.The calculated results of thermodynamic data and rate constants indicated that the insertion reactions of CH_(2) OO with-OOH group of HPMF were more favorable than the reactions of CH_(2)OO with-C(O)OH group.The calculated overall rate constant was 2.33×10^(−13) cm^(3)/(moleculesec)at 298 K and the rate constants decreased as the temperature increased from 200 to 480 K.In addition,we also proved the polymerization reaction mechanism between CH_(2)OO and-OOH of HPMF.This theoretical study interpreted the previous experimental results,and supplied the structures of the intermediate products that couldn’t be detected during the experiment.

文摘Given the high abundance of water in the atmosphere,the reaction of Criegee intermediates(CIs)with(H_(2)O)_(2) is considered to be the predominant removal pathway for CIs.However,recent experimental findings reported that the reactions of CIs with organic acids and carbonyls are faster than expected.At the same time,the interface behavior between CIs and carbonyls has not been reported so far.Here,the gas-phase and air-water interface behavior between Criegee intermediates and HCHO were explored by adopting high-level quantum chemical calculations and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics(BOMD)simulations.Quantum chemical calculations evidence that the gas-phase reactions of CIs+HCHO are submerged energy or low energy barriers processes.The rate ratios speculate that the HCHO could be not only a significant tropospheric scavenger of CIs,but also an inhibitor in the oxidizing ability of CIs on SO_(x) in dry and highly polluted areas with abundant HCHO concentration.The reactions of CH_(2)OO with HCHO at the droplet’s surface follow a loop structure mechanism to produce i)SOZ(■),ii)BHMP(HOCH_(2)OOCH_(2)OH),and iii)HMHP(HOCH_(2)OOH).Considering the harsh reaction conditions between CIs and HCHO at the interface(i.e.,the two molecules must be sufficiently close to each other),the hydration of CIs is still their main atmospheric loss pathway.These results could help us get a better interpretation of the underlying CIs-aldehydes chemical processes in the global polluted urban atmospheres.

文摘Methyl vinyl ketone oxide,an unsaturated four-carbon Criegee intermediate produced from the ozonolysis of isoprene has been recognized to play a key role in determining the tropospheric OH concentration.It exists in four configurations(anti-anti,anti-syn,synanti,and syn-syn)due to two different substituents of saturated methyl and unsaturated vinyl groups.In this study,we have carried out the electronic structure calculation at the multi-configurational CASSCF and multi-state MS-CASPT2 levels,as well as the trajectory surface-hopping nonadiabatic dynamics simulation at the CASSCF level to reveal the different fates of syn/anti configurations in photochemical process.Our results show that the dominant channel for the S1-state decay is a ring closure,isomerization to dioxirane,during which,the syn(C-O)configuration with an intramolecular hydrogen bond shows slower nonadiabatic photoisomerization.More importantly,it has been found for the first time in photochemistry of Criegee intermediate that the cooperation of two heavy groups(methyl and vinyl)leads to an evident pyramidalization of C3 atom in methyl-vinyl Criegee intermediate,which then results in two structurally-independent minimal-energy crossing points(CIs)towards the syn(C-O)and anti(C-O)sides,respectively.The preference of surface hopping for a certain CI is responsible for the different dynamics of each configuration.

文摘Criegee intermediates are of signi cance in the atmospheric chemistry.In this work,the rovibrational spectra of the simplest deuterated Criegee intermediate,CD2OO,were studied by a vibrational self-consistent eld/virtual con guration interaction(VSCF/VCI)method based on a nine-dimensional accurate potential energy surface and dipole surface for its ground electronic state.The calculated fundamental vibrational frequencies and rotational constants are in excellent agreement with the available experimental results.These data are useful for further spectroscopic studies of CD2OO.Especially,the rotational constants for excited vibrational levels are essential for experimental spectral assignments.However,the infrared intensities from di erent resources,including the current computation,the experiment,and previous calculations at the NEVPT2 and B3LYP levels,deviate signi cantly.

文摘Atmospheric oxidation processes are of central importance in atmospheric climate models.It is often considered that volatile organic molecules are mainly removed by hydroxyl radical;however,the kinetics of some reactions of hydroxyl radical with volatile organic molecules are slow.Here we report rate constants for rapid reactions of formyl fluoride with Criegee intermediates.These rate constants are calculated by dual-level multistructural canonical variational transition state theory with small-curvature tunneling(DL-MS-CVT/SCT).The treatment contains beyond-CCSD(T)electronic structure calculations for transition state theory,and it employs validated density functional input for multistructural canonical variational transition state theory with small-curvature tunneling and for variable-reaction-coordinate variational transition state theory.We find that the M11-L density functional has higher accuracy than CCSD(T)/CBS for the HC(O)F+CH2OO and HC(O)F+anti-CH_(3)CHOO reactions.We find significant negative temperature dependence in the ratios of the rate constants for HC(O)F+CH2OO/anti-CH_(3)CHOO to the rate constant for HC(O)F+OH.We also find that different Criegee intermediates have different rate-determining-steps in their reactions with formyl fluoride,and we find that the dominant gas-phase removal mechanism for HC(O)F in the atmosphere is the reaction with CH2OO and/or anti-CH_(3)CHOO Criegee intermediates.

文摘Cavity ring-down spectroscopy(CRDS)was utilized in combination with chemical titration with sulfur dioxide(SO_2)to quantify stabilized Criegee intermediates(s CIs)produced at low pressures(4–20 Torr)in ozonolysis reactions of cis-2-butene,2-methyl-2-butene,cyclopentene,and cyclohexene.The yield of stabilized s CI,acetaldehyde oxide(CH_3CHOO),from cis-2-butene ozonolysis decreased with decreasing pressure and reached to 0.05±0.04 at the zero-pressure limit.The nonsymmetric alkene 2-methyl-2-butene produced two stabilized s CIs,CH_3CHOO and acetone oxide((CH_3)_2COO),and their total yield decreased with decreasing pressure and reached 0.01±0.03 at the zero-pressure limit.For cyclopentene and cyclohexene,the s CI yields were essentially constant near zero,as expected of endocyclic alkenes.The nascent yields of s CI of various alkenes are compared.
