The rate constants for the reactions of OH radicals with fully fluorinated alkenes containing different numbers of -CF(3) groups next to olefinic carbon, CF(2)═CF(2), CF(2)═CFCF(3), CF(3)CF═CFCF(3), and (CF(3))(2)C═CFC(2)F(5), were measured between 230 and 480 K using the flash photolysis resonance fluorescence technique to give the following expressions: k(C(2)F(4))(250-480 K) = 1.32 × 10(-12) × (T/298 K)(0.9) × exp(+600 K/T) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), k(C(3)F(6))(230-480 K) = 9.75 ×10(-14) × (T/298 K)(1.94) × exp(+922 K/T) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), k(trans-C(4)F(8))(230-370 K) = 7.50 × 10(-14) × (T/298 K)(1.68) × exp(+612 K/T) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), k(cis-C(4)F(8))(230-370 K) = 2.99 × 10(-14) × (T/298 K)(2.61) × exp(+760 K/T) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), and k(C(6)F(12))(250-480 K) = 2.17 × 10(-15) × (T/298 K)(3.90) × exp(+1044 K/T) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). The kinetics of the OH reaction in an industrial sample of octofluoro-2-propene (a mixture of the cis- and trans-isomers of CF(3)CF═CFCF(3)) was studied to determine the "effective" reaction rate constant for the typically industrial mixture: k()(230-480 K) = 7.89 × 10(-14) × (T/298 K)(1.71) × exp(+557 K/T) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1). On the basis of these results, the atmospheric lifetimes were estimated to be 1.2, 5.3, 21, 34, and 182 days for CF(2)═CF(2), CF(3)CF═CF(2), trans-CF(3)CF═CFCF(3), cis-CF(3)CF═CFCF(3), and (CF(3))(2)C═CFC(2)F(5), respectively. The general pattern of halolalkene reactivity toward OH is discussed.

Atmospheric reaction of CH=CHCHOCFCHF with OH radicals and Cl atoms, UV and IR absorption cross sections, and global warming potential.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

December 2024

In this work, the rate coefficients for OH radical, k(T), and Cl atom, k(T), reaction with allyl 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether, CH=CHCHOCFCHF, were studied as a function of temperature and pressure in a collaborative effort made between UCLM, Spain, and LAPKIN, Greece. OH rate coefficients were determined in UCLM, between 263 and 353 K and 50-600 Torr, using the absolute rate method of pulsed laser photolysis-laser-induced fluorescence technique, while Cl kinetics were studied in temperature (260-363 K) and pressure (34-721 Torr) ranges, using the relative rate method of the thermostated photochemical reactor equipped with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as the detection technique. In both OH and Cl reactions, a negative temperature dependence of the measured rate coefficients was observed, which is consistent with complex association reactions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the reactions between nitrogen dioxide (NO) with atomic oxygen (O) and atomic carbon (C) at low temperatures using a supersonic flow reactor.
  • The reactions were monitored using different detection methods, revealing that the rate of O + NO reactions increases significantly as temperature decreases, while C + NO reactions are studied for the first time.
  • Simulations suggest that while gas-phase NO abundances are low in dense interstellar clouds, higher levels of NO may be found on interstellar dust grains, indicating potential for detection in warmer areas.

The rate coefficients for the reactions for XO (XO, X = Cl, Br, I) + isoprene were calculated using the RRKM and ILT approach in master equation simulation (MESMER) in the temperature range of 200-400 K at 1 atm pressure. The thermochemical and energy parameters for ClO + isoprene were calculated using the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-31g(2df,p) theory. In the case of the BrO and IO radical reaction, all thermochemical parameters were calculated using CCSD(T)/AVDZ//M06-2X/AVDZ (AVDZ = aug-cc-pVDZ for C, H, and O atoms and aug-cc-pVDZ-pp for the Br atom with effective core potential (ECP) approximation) and CCSD(T)/AVDZ_ecp//M06-2X/AVDZ_ecp (AVDZ_ecp = aug-cc-pVDZ for C, H, and O atoms and Def2SVP for I atom with ECP), respectively.

Experimental Gas-Phase Removal of OH Radicals in the Presence of NHC(O)H over the 11.7-353 K Range: Implications in the Chemistry of the Interstellar Medium and the Earth's Atmosphere.

Formamide (NHC(O)H) has been observed both in the interstellar medium (ISM), being identified as a potential precursor of prebiotic molecules in space, and in the Earth's atmosphere. In these environments where temperature is very distinct, hydroxyl (OH) radicals may play an important role in the degradation of NHC(O)H. Thus, in this work, we report for the first time the experimental study of the temperature dependence of the gas-phase removal of OH in the presence of NHC(O)H over the 11.

Criegee intermediates, formed by alkene ozonolysis in the troposphere, can react with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The temperature-dependent kinetics of the reactions between the Criegee intermediate CHOO and three aliphatic aldehydes, RCHO where R = H, CH, and CH (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and propionaldehyde, respectively), have been studied using a laser flash-photolysis transient absorption spectroscopy technique. The experimental measurements are supported by calculations at various composite levels of theory that characterize stationary points on the reaction potential and free energy surfaces.
