Abstract Understanding the mechanism of hydrazine oxidation reaction by OH radical accompanied by the rate constants of all possible pathways is important. They are key parameters to explain the fate of hydrazine in the atmosphere. To reach the mentioned parameters, higher-level calculations by using quantum chemical methods have been implemented comprehensively for reliable channels such as H-abstraction, SN2, and addition/elimination reactions. To estimate the barrier energies of H-abstraction channels accurately, large numbers of the CCSD(T)/X calculations (where X denotes the augmented Dunning and Pople double zeta or triple zeta basis sets) have been applied to the optimized geometries of the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ, MP2/maug-cc-pVTZ, and M062X/maug-cc-pVTZ levels. Contributions of excited states on the computed potential energy surface have been considered by the MR-MP2 (multi-reference) method in conjunction with the large augmented quadruple zeta, aug-cc-pVQZ, basis sets. The direct dynamic calculations have been carried out using the accurate energies of the CCSD(T) method and the partition functions of the second-order MØller-Plesset perturbation theory, and also by the validated M06-2X method with the aug-cc-pVTZ, and maug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. Finally, The VTST and TST theories have been used to calculate the temperature dependence of rate constants of the considered pathways. Also, the pressure-dependent rate constants of the barrierless pathways have been investigated by the strong collision master equation/RRKM theory.

The dependence of the bond angles in the molecules XH2 and YH3 (X = O, S, Se and Y = N, P, As ) and related iso electronic molecular ions upon the mass of the central atom is examined. Calculations of optimized geometries are carried out by using Hartree-Fock theory and double-zeta basis sets. The results are compared with experimental and accurate computational results in order to investigate the applicability of simple valence shell electron pair repulsion and valence bond rules for geometry prediction. Particular attention is given to the valence bond picture of the effect of the size of the central atom.

AbstractUnderstanding the mechanism of hydrazine oxidation reaction by OH radical along with the rate constants of all possible pathways leads to explain the fate of hydrazine in the atmosphere. In this article, the comprehensive mechanisms and kinetics of the hydrazine plus hydroxyl radical reaction have been investigated theoretically at different temperatures and pressures. To achieve the main goals, a series of high levels of quantum chemical calculations have been widely implemented in reliable channels of the H-abstraction, SN2, and addition/elimination reactions. The energy profile of all pathways accompanied by the molecular properties of the involved stationary points has been characterized at the MP2, M06-2X, and CCSD(T)/CBS levels. To estimate accurate barrier energies of the H-abstraction channels, large numbers of the CCSD (T) calculations in conjunction with various augmented basis sets have been implemented. The direct dynamic calculations have been carried out using the validated M06-2X/maug-cc-pVTZ level, and also by the CCSD(T) (energies) + MP2 (partition functions) level. The pressure-dependent rate constants of the barrierless pathways have been investigated by the strong collision approach. Therefore, the main behaviors of the N2H4 + OH reaction have been explored according to the influences of temperature and pressure on the computed rate coefficients within the well-behaved theoretical frameworks of the TST, VTST, and RRKM theories. It has been found that the H-abstraction mechanism (to form N2H3) is dominant relative to the SN2 reaction and OH-addition to the N center of N2H4 moiety (to form H2NOH + NH2). The computed high pressure limit rate constant of the main reaction pathway, k(298.15) = 7.31 × 10–11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, has an excellent agreement with the experimental value (k (298.15) = (6.50 ± 1.3) × 10–11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1) recommended by Vaghjiani. Also, the atmospheric lifetime of hydrazine degradation by OH radicals has been demonstrated to be 32.80 to 1161.11 h at the altitudes of 0–50 km. Finally, the disagreement in the calculated rate constants between the previous theoretical study and experimental results has been rectified.

The performance of the previously proposed double zeta valence quality plus polarization functions (DZP) and augmented DZP (ADZP) basis sets is tested at the Hartree–Fock, second-order Møller–Plesset, and density functional levels of theory for the electronic ground state of the second-row diatomic hydrides. Total energy, second-order correlation energy, dissociation energy, bond length, vibrational frequency, and dipole moment are calculated and compared with results obtained with popular basis sets reported in the literature. It is shown that the DZP and ADZP basis sets in general provides better accuracy for a similar number of basis functions.

The hydrogen-bonded interactions in the simple (HNZ)2 dimers, with Z = O and S, were investigated using quantum chemical calculations with the second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation (MP2), coupled-cluster with single, double (CCSD), and triple excitations (CCSD(T)) methods in conjunction with the 6-311++G(2d,2p), aug-cc-pVDZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. Six-membered cyclic structures were found to be stable complexes for the dimers (HNO)2, (HNS)2, and (HNO–HNS). The pair (HNS)2 has the largest complexation energy (–11 kJ/mol), and (HNO)2 the smallest one (–9 kJ/mol). A bond length contraction and a frequency blue shift of the N–H bond simultaneously occur upon hydrogen bond formation of the N–H···S type, which has rarely been observed before. The stronger the intramolecular hyperconjugation and the lower the polarization of the X–H bond involved as proton donor in the hydrogen bond, the more predominant is the formation of a blue-shifting hydrogen bond.

Hydrogen addition and abstraction reactions play an important role as surface reactions in the buildup of complex organic molecules in the dense interstellar medium. Addition reactions allow unsaturated bonds to be fully hydrogenated, while abstraction reactions recreate radicals that may undergo radical–radical recombination reactions. Previous experimental work has indicated that double and triple C–C bonds are easily hydrogenated, but aldehyde –C=O bonds are not. Here, we investigate a total of 29 reactions of the hydrogen atom with propynal, propargyl alcohol, propenal, allyl alcohol, and propanal by means of quantum chemical methods to quantify the reaction rate constants involved. First of all, our results are in good agreement with and can explain the observed experimental findings. The hydrogen addition to the aldehyde group, either on the C or O side, is indeed slow for all molecules considered. Abstraction of the H atom from the aldehyde group, on the other hand, is among the faster reactions. Furthermore, hydrogen addition to C–C double bonds is generally faster than to triple bonds. In both cases, addition on the terminal carbon atom that is not connected to other functional groups is easiest. Finally, we wish to stress that it is not possible to predict rate constants based solely on the type of reaction: the specific functional groups attached to a backbone play a crucial role and can lead to a spread of several orders of magnitude in the rate constant.
