Theoretical predictions are made for the pressure and temperature dependences of two reactions involved in methanol combustion: (A) CH3O → CH2O + H and (B) CH2OH → CH2O + H. The calculations are carried out by using RRKM theory with a Gorin model for the activated complexes, with fall-off effects being taken into account by using the master equation. Results for the high-pressure rate coefficients (s-1) are (A) 3×1014 exp(-108 kJ mol-1 /RT), (B) 7×1014 exp(-124 kJ mol-1 /RT) at 1000 K. For the low-pressure limiting rate coefficient (cm3 s-1) over the range 600- 1000 K (A) 8×10-9 exp(-90 kJ mol-1 /RT); (B) 2×10-8 exp(-108 kJ mol-1 /RT). At 1000 K, the pressure at which the fall-off rate coefficients are one-half of their limiting high-pressure values are 3x108 Pa for both reactions. Formulae for inclusion of these reactions (including fall- off effects) over the range 300-2000 K and 10-2-106 Pa in modelling complex kinetic schemes are presented.

AbstractStellar winds of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are responsible for the production of ∼85% of the gas molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM), and yet very few of the gas phase rate coefficients under the relevant conditions (10 – 3000 K) needed to model the rate of production and loss of these molecules in stellar winds have been experimentally measured. If measured at all, the value of the rate coefficient has often only been obtained at room temperature, with extrapolation to lower and higher temperatures using the Arrhenius equation. However, non-Arrhenius behavior has been observed often in the few measured rate coefficients at low temperatures. In previous reactions studied, theoretical simulations of the formation of long-lived pre-reaction complexes and quantum mechanical tunneling through the barrier to reaction have been utilized to fit these non-Arrhenius behaviours of rate coefficients.Reaction rate coefficients that were predicted to produce the largest change in the production/loss of Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) in stellar winds at low temperatures were selected from a sensitivity analysis. Here we present measurements of rate coefficients using a pulsed Laval nozzle apparatus with the Pump Laser Photolysis - Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLP-LIF) technique. Gas flow temperatures between 30 – 134 K have been produced by the University of Leeds apparatus through the controlled expansion of N2 or Ar gas through Laval nozzles of a range of Mach numbers between 2.49 and 4.25.Reactions of interest include those of OH, CN, and CH with volatile organic species, in particular formaldehyde, a molecule which has been detected in the ISM. Kinetics measurements of these reactions at low temperatures will be presented using the decay of the radical reagent. Since formaldehyde and the formal radical (HCO) are potential building blocks of COMs in the interstellar medium, low temperature reaction rate coefficients for their production and loss can help to predict the formation pathways of COMs observed in the interstellar medium.

Abstract. Rate coefficients, k, for the gas-phase reaction of the OH radical with (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol ((Z)-CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH2OH). (k1), 1-penten-3-ol (CH3CH2CH(OH)CH=CH2) (k2), (E)-2-penten-1-ol ((E)-CH3CH2CH=CHCH2OH) (k3), and (E)-2-hexen-1-ol ((E)-CH3CH2CH2CH=CHCH2OH) (k4), unsaturated alcohols that are emitted into the atmosphere following vegetation wounding, are reported. Rate coefficients were measured under pseudo-first-order conditions in OH over the temperature range 243–404 K at pressures between 20 and 100 Torr (He) using pulsed laser photolysis (PLP) to produce OH radicals and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) to monitor the OH temporal profile. The obtained rate coefficients were independent of pressure with negative temperature dependences that are well described by the Arrhenius expressions k1(T) = (1.3 ± 0.1) × 10−11 exp[(580 ± 10)/T]; k1(297K) = (1.06 ± 0.12) × 10−10 k2(T) = (6.8 ± 0.7) × 10−12 exp[(690 ± 20)/T]; k2(297K) = (7.12 ± 0.73) × 10−11 k3(T) = (6.8 ± 0.8) × 10−12 exp[(680 ± 20)/T]; k3(297K) = (6.76 ± 0.70) × 10−11 k4(T) = (5.4 ± 0.6) × 10−12 exp[(690 ± 20)/T]; k4(297K) = (6.15 ± 0.75) × 10−11 (in units of cm3 molecule−1 s−1). The quoted uncertainties are at the 2σ (95% confidence) level and include estimated systematic errors. The rate coefficients obtained in this study are compared with literature values where possible.

Ketones are emitted directly to the atmosphere, and their sources were discussed in detail in chapter I. In the U.K. acetone and butanone comprise about 7% and 5%, respectively, of the total anthropogenic emissions of oxygenated compounds, and 1.6% and 1.1%, respectively, of the total anthropogenic emissions of nonmethane volatile organic compounds. Ketone emissions from solvents (both industrial and personal) are substantial; emissions from both gasoline- and diesel-fueled vehicles also contribute. Ketones are also formed extensively in the atmosphere in the oxidation of other compounds. Acetone, for example is formed in the OH-initiated oxidation of propane, iso-butane, iso-pentane, and neopentane and from a number of higher hydrocarbons. It is also formed in the oxidation of terpenes. The distribution, sources, and sinks of acetone in the atmosphere have been analyzed by Simpson et al. (1994). Methyl vinyl ketone is an important first generation product in the OH-initiated oxidation of isoprene. In this chapter, we discuss the rate coefficients and the mechanisms of oxidation of ketones. The classes covered include alkanones, hydroxyketones, diketones, unsaturated ketones, ketenes, cyclic ketones, ketones derived from biogenic compounds, and halogen-substituted ketones. Photolysis is a major atmospheric process for many ketones, and will be discussed in chapter IX. The major bimolecular reactions removing ketones from the atmosphere are with OH. Although less important than the OH reactions, reactions with Cl have been studied quite extensively. Other than for unsaturated ketones, reactions with NO3 and O3 are unimportant in tropospheric chemistry and have been studied little. The carbonyl group deactivates the α-position with respect to reaction with OH, but activates the β-position, and possibly more distant sites as well. The net result is that the overall rate coefficient of an alkanone generally exceeds that of the equivalent alkane. The temperature dependences of the rate coefficients can be quite complex, with acetone and possibly butanone showing a minimum in the rate coefficient at ∼250 K, while the higher alkanones show negative temperature dependences across the more limited temperature ranges that have been investigated. The most likely explanation of this behavior is the formation of a pre-reaction, hydrogen-bonded complex.

cycloHexy1 chloride has been shown to decompose in the gas phase at 318-385 �C almost exclusively to cyclohexene and hydrogen chloride. With clean glass-walled reactors the reaction was largely heterogeneous, but after the walls were coated with a carbonaceous film a homogeneous first-order reaction was found to predominate. For initial pressures within the range 4-40 cm mercury the rate coefficients for the homogeneous reaction were expressible as������� k = 5.88 x 1013exp(-50,000 cal/RT) sec-1. There was some evidence for the rate coefficient becoming pressure-dependent below 5-10 mm initial pressure of reactant. The reaction exhibited no induction periods and the velocity was virtually unaffected by the addition of large amounts of propene or cyclohexene and traces of chlorine or bromine. The results were consistent with a unimolecular elimination of hydrogen chloride.

The variability in phosphorus concentrations and the decomposition rates of organic phosphorus were measured in five selected rivers through four surveys in July and November of 2012, and February and May of 2013. After collection the water samples were incubated for 20 days in a dark incubator and the change of forms of phosphorus such as particulate organic phosphorus (POP), dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) were analyzed. By fitting the changes to two types of models, the decomposition rates of organic phosphorus were determined. The mean total organic phosphorus (TOP) decomposition rate coefficients in the studied rivers was 0.039 day-1. The average POP decomposition rate coefficient (POP?DOP?DIP model) was 0.038 day-1 while the mean DOP decomposition rate coefficient was 0.251 day-1. The decomposition rate coefficients measured in this study might be applicable for modeling of river water quality.Int. J. Agril. Res. Innov. & Tech. 5 (2): 31-36, December, 2015

Abstract. Rate coefficients for the reaction of NO3 radicals with a series of aromatic aldehydes were measured in a 7300 liter simulation chamber at ambient temperature and pressure by relative and absolute methods. The rate coefficients for benzaldehyde (BA), ortho-tolualdehyde (O-TA), meta-tolualdehyde (M-TA), para-tolualdehyde (P-TA), 2,4-dimethyl benzaldehyde (2,4-DMBA), 2,5-dimethyl benzaldehyde (2,5-DMBA) and 3,5-dimethyl benzaldehyde (3,5-DMBA) were: k1 = 2.6 ± 0.3, k2 = 8.8 ± 0.8, k3 = 4.8 ± 0.5, k4 = 4.9 ± 0.5, k5 = 15.1 ± 1.4, k6 = 12.7 ± 1.2 and k7 = 6.2 ± 0.6, respectively, in the units of 10−15 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 298 ± 2 K. The rate coefficient k13 for the reaction of the NO3 radical with deuterated benzaldehyde (benzaldehyde-d1) was found to be half that of k1. The end product of the reaction with an excess of NOx was measured to be C6H5C(O)O2NO2. Theoretical calculations of aldehydic bond energies and reaction pathways indicate that NO3 radical reacts with aromatic aldehydes through the abstraction of aldehydic hydrogen atom. The atmospheric implications of the measured rate coefficients are briefly discussed.

Abstract In order to understand the atmospheric implication of the chlorinated hydrofluoroolefin (HFO), the geometrical structures and the IR absorption cross sections of the stereoisomers 1-chloro-3,3-difluoropropene were studied using the B3LYP/6-31G(3df) and M06-2X/6-31G(3df) methods in the gas phase. The cis-trans isomerization was assessed using the M06-2X/6-311++G(3df,p)//6-31+G(3df,p) method. The latter method was also employed for thermochemistry and the rate coefficients of the reactions of •OH with the cis- and trans-isomers in the temperature ranging from 200 to 400 K. The computational method CCSD/cc-pVTZ//M06-2X/6-31+G(3df,p) was used to benchmark the rate coefficients. It turns out that, the trans-isomer is more stable than cis-isomer and the trans- to cis-isomerization is thermodynamically unfavorable. The rate coefficient follows the Gaussian law with respect to the inverse of temperature. At the global temperature of stratosphere, the calculated rate coefficients served to estimate the atmospheric lifetime along with the photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP). This yielded lifetimes of 4.31 and 7.31 days and POCPs of 3.80 and 2.23 for the cis- and trans-isomer, respectively. The radiative forcing efficiencies gave 0.0082 and 0.0152 W m−2 ppb−1 for the cis- and trans-isomer, respectively. The global warming potential approached zero for both stereoisomers at 20, 100, and 500 years time horizons.

Abstract. We present a digital, freely available, searchable, and evaluated compilation of rate coefficients for the gas-phase reactions of organic compounds with OH, Cl, and NO3 radicals and with O3. Although other compilations of many of these data exist, many are out of date, most have limited scope, and all are difficult to search and to load completely into a digitized form. This compilation uses results of previous reviews, though many recommendations are updated to incorporate new or omitted data or address errors, and includes recommendations on many reactions that have not been reviewed previously. The database, which incorporates over 50 years of measurements, consists of a total of 2765 recommended bimolecular rate coefficients for the reactions of 1357 organic substances with OH, 709 with Cl, 310 with O3, and 389 with NO3, and is much larger than previous compilations. Many compound types are present in this database, including naturally occurring chemicals formed in or emitted to the atmosphere and anthropogenic compounds such as halocarbons and their degradation products. Recommendations are made for rate coefficients at 298 K and, where possible, the temperature dependences over the entire range of the available data. The primary motivation behind this project has been to provide a large and thoroughly evaluated training dataset for the development of structure–activity relationships (SARs), whose reliability depends fundamentally upon the availability of high-quality experimental data. However, there are other potential applications of this work, such as research related to atmospheric lifetimes and fates of organic compounds, or modelling gas-phase reactions of organics in various environments. This database is freely accessible at https://doi.org/10.25326/36 (McGillen et al., 2019).

The ion-molecule reactions of CH3F and CH2Cl2 were examined in the gas phase using a high-pressure mass spectrometer. The ionic products of CH3F were mainly CH2F+, C2H6F+, and CH4F+. In the CH2Cl2 system the main product was CHCl2+ together with smaller amounts of CH2Cl+, CH3Cl2+, and several condensation ions. The ionic reactivity of the two compounds was compared to that of other halomethanes. Rate coefficients and reaction cross sections for many primary reactant ions were measured as a function of the ion exit energy.
