A systematic computational investigation of hydrogen abstraction by OH from the full series of fluorinated ethyl methyl ethers (EME) containing at least one H and one F, C2HnX5-nOCHmX3-m (n=0–5, m=0–3; and n=m=0 not allowed), including 147 reactants and 469 transition states, has been carried out, employing the MP2/6-31G(d) level of theory. Results for optimized geometries, including evidence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in transition states, and barrier heights are presented. Trends pertaining to the number of fluorines substituted, key bond lengths, barrier heights, and key bond angles were found with good correlations and were investigated. An increase in the number of F increases the barrier height of the reaction. An increase in some parameters such as C–H length of TS, relative change in C–H from reactants to TS, ∠COC of reactants, ∠HOH in the TS, and relative change in ∠HOH between TS and free water bond angle also correlates with increased barrier height. An increase in other parameters like C–H length in the reactants and hydrogen bonding can decrease the barrier height.

Theoretical investigations have been performed on the kinetics of bimolecular hydrogen-abstraction reactions of 1,3,5-trioxane and 1,4-dioxane cyclic ethers with OH radicals. Hydrogen abstraction from both axial and equatorial positions of 1,3,5-trioxane and 1,4-dioxane was considered. Optimization of the structures, and the calculation of energies, vibrational frequencies and moments of inertia for all the stationary points including reactants, hydrogen-bonded complexes, transition states and products were carried out using density functional theory at the M06-2X level together with the MG3S basis set. Single-point energy calculations on the optimized points were obtained at the CBS-QB3 level. The calculations show that the title reactions proceed through relatively strong hydrogen-bonded complexes due to the hydrogen bonding between the OH radicals and the oxygen atoms of the cyclic ethers. A two-transition state model (an inner tight transition state and an outer loose transition state) was employed to compute the hydrogen-abstraction rate coefficients. The rate coefficients were also computed using conventional transition state theory considering a tight transition state for the purpose of comparison. It was found that when the reactions proceed via inner transition states with relative energies higher than the reactants, the computed rate coefficients are underestimated by conventional transition state theory.

The surface reactivity of carbonaceous nanoparticles is revealed from the barrier height and reaction enthalpy of hydrogen abstraction reaction by H radicals computed at the M06-2X/6–311g(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. Small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) clusters are selected as the model system of carbonaceous nanoparticles. The PAHs considered are naphthalene, pyrene, coronene, ovalene and circumcoronene. Cluster sizes range from dimer to tetramer with a parallel or crossed configuration. All results show similar values as that of monomers, but naphthalene dimers with a crossed configuration yield a lower barrier height and reaction enthalpy by ∼2 kcal/mol. A minor size dependence is noticed in the series of naphthalene clusters where a larger cluster exhibits a smaller barrier height. Larger homogeneous PAH clusters in a size range of 1.1–1.9 nm are later generated to mimic nascent soot surface. It is found that the barrier height decreases with the increase in particle size, and the averaged values are ∼2 kcal/mol lower than that of monomers. More importantly, a larger particle shows a wider spread in barrier heights, and low barrier heights are seen in the surface shallow regions (e.g., surface pockets). The lowest barrier height of ∼8.5 kcal/mol is observed at a C-H site locating in a surface pocket. A set of model systems are built to reveal the underlying mechanism of reduction in barrier height. It is shown that the reduction is caused by local interactions between the neighboring atoms and the local curvature. Further analysis on the average localized ionization potential shows that larger particles have higher reactivity, further supporting our findings from the barrier height of hydrogen abstraction reactions. Therefore, it is concluded that the surface reactivity depends on the particle size and the most reactive sites always locate at the surface pockets.

This review outlines methods to investigate the structure of natural products with emphasis on intramolecular hydrogen bonding, tautomerism and ionic structures using NMR techniques. The focus is on 1H chemical shifts, isotope effects on chemical shifts and diffusion ordered spectroscopy. In addition, density functional theory calculations are performed to support NMR results. The review demonstrates how hydrogen bonding may lead to specific structures and how chemical equilibria, as well as tautomeric equilibria and ionic structures, can be detected. All these features are important for biological activity and a prerequisite for correct docking experiments and future use as drugs.
