OBSERVED WATER FREQUENCIES (CM-"") ABSTRACT A vibrational analysis and ab initio studies of propiolic acid have been carried out in a two part study. In the first part, infrared matrix isolation spectra of propiolic acid isolated in solid argon, carbon monoxide, nitrogen and neon at 11-35K have been recorded in the range 4000 - 400 cm"^. Spectra were also recorded for the isotopically labeled O and H isotopomers isolated in argon and nitrogen matrices. Spectra have been interpreted using isotopic splitting patterns, correlations with spectra of related molecules, and MO normal coordinate analysis at the ab initio (6-31G* basis set) level and semi-emperical MINDO / 3 level using standard basis set. Computational studies using MINDO / 3 and GAUSSIAN 82 have been carried out to determine geometries, energies, dipole moments, rotational constants, vibrational frequencies, force constants, and one- electron properties. Comparisons have been made with experimental data to check the accuracy of computed molecular parameters. Various unimolecular decomposition channels have been investigated and possible bimolecular decomposition channels postulated. The computed structures and energies of various intermediates have been determined. The internal rotation (torsional) barrier for hydroxyl group relative to the C-0 bond has been determined at various levels and the conversion from the cis to trans conformer has been identified as a prerequisite for some decomposition channels.

Interstellar Ices and Radiation-induced Oxidations of Alcohols R. L. Hudson and M. H. Moore Astrochemistry Laboratory, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, 20771, USA; [email protected] Received 2017 May 2; revised 2018 March 8; accepted 2018 March 9; published 2018 April 18 Abstract Infrared spectra of ices containing alcohols that are known or potential interstellar molecules are examined before and after irradiation with 1 MeV protons at ∼20 K. The low-temperature oxidation (hydrogen loss) of six alcohols is followed, and conclusions are drawn based on the results. The formation of reaction products is discussed in terms of the literature on the radiation chemistry of alcohols and a systematic variation in their structures. The results from these new laboratory measurements are then applied to a recent study of propargyl alcohol. Connections are drawn between known interstellar molecules, and several new reaction products in interstellar ices are predicted. Key words: astrochemistry – infrared: ISM – ISM: molecules – molecular data – molecular processes 1.

    Accurate Enthalpies of Formation of Astromolecules: Energy, Stability and Abundance

    Accurate Enthalpies of Formation of Astromolecules: Energy, Stability and Abundance Emmanuel E. Etim and Elangannan Arunan* Inorganic and Physical Chemistry Department, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India-560012 *email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Accurate enthalpies of formation are reported for known and potential astromolecules using high level ab initio quantum chemical calculations. A total of 130 molecules comprising of 31 isomeric groups and 24 cyanide/isocyanide pairs with atoms ranging from 3 to 12 have been considered. The results show an interesting, surprisingly not well explored, relationship between energy, stability and abundance (ESA) existing among these molecules. Among the isomeric species, isomers with lower enthalpies of formation are more easily observed in the interstellar medium compared to their counterparts with higher enthalpies of formation. Available data in literature confirm the high abundance of the most stable isomer over other isomers in the different groups considered. Potential for interstellar hydrogen bonding accounts for the few exceptions observed. Thus, in general, it suffices to say that the interstellar abundances of related species are directly proportional to their stabilities. The immediate consequences of this relationship in addressing some of the whys and wherefores among astromolecules and in predicting some possible candidates for future astronomical observations are discussed. Our comprehensive results on 130 molecules indicate that the available experimental enthalpy

Porterfield, P. Bryan Changala, James H. Thorpe, and John F. Stanton Cite This: J. Phys. Chem. A 2020, 124, 5170−5181 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Using chirped and cavity microwave spectroscopies, automated double resonance, new high-speed fitting and deep learning algorithms, and large databases of computed structures, the discharge products of benzene alone, or in combination with molecular oxygen or nitrogen, have been exhaustively characterized between 6.5 and 26 GHz. In total, more than 3300 spectral features were observed; 89% of these, accounting for 97% of the total intensity, have now been assigned to 152 distinct chemical species and 60 of their variants (i.e., isotopic species and vibrationally excited states). Roughly 50 of the products are entirely new or poorly characterized at high resolution, including many heavier by mass than the precursor benzene. These findings provide direct evidence for a rich architecture of two- and three-dimensional carbon and indicate that benzene growth, particularly the formation of ring−chain molecules, occurs facilely under our experimental conditions. The present analysis also illustrates the utility of microwave spectroscopy as a precision tool for complex mixture analysis, irrespective of whether the rotational spectrum of a product species is known a priori or not. From this large quantity of data, for example, it is possible to determine with confidence the relative abundances of different product masses, but more importantly the relative abundances of different isomers with the same mass.

Bohlmann–Rahtz; continuous flow processing; ethynyl ketones; flow chemistry; Hantzsch dihydropyridine synthesis; heterocycles; microwave synthesis; multicomponent reactions; pyridine synthesis Abstract The Bohlmann–Rahtz pyridine synthesis and the Hantzsch dihydropyridine synthesis can be carried out in a microwave flow reactor or using a conductive heating flow platform for the continuous processing of material. In the Bohlmann–Rahtz reaction, the use of a Brønsted acid catalyst allows Michael addition and cyclodehydration to be carried out in a single step without isolation of intermediates to give the corresponding trisubstituted pyridine as a single regioisomer in good yield. Furthermore, 3-substituted propargyl aldehydes undergo Hantzsch dihydropyridine synthesis in preference to Bohlmann–Rahtz reaction in a very high yielding process that is readily transferred to continuous flow processing.
  • The Interactions and Reactions of Atoms and Molecules on the Surfaces of Model Interstellar Dust Grains

    The Interactions and Reactions of Atoms and Molecules on the Surfaces of Model Interstellar Dust Grains

    The Interactions and Reactions of Atoms and Molecules on the Surfaces of Model Interstellar Dust Grains A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Helen Jessica Kimber Department of Chemistry University College London 2016 -I, Helen Jessica Kimber, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed, i Abstract The elemental composition of the known universe comprises almost exclusively light atoms (~99.9% hydrogen and helium). However, to date, close to 200 different molecules have been detected in the interstellar medium (ISM) where their distribution is far from uniform. The vast majority of these molecules are contained within vast clouds of gas and dust referred to as interstellar clouds. Within these interstellar clouds, many of the molecules present are formed via gas-phase ion-neutral reactions. However, there are several molecules for which known gas-phase kinetics cannot account for observed gas-phase abundances. As a result, reactions occurring on the surface of interstellar dust grains are invoked to account for the observed abundances of some of these molecules. This thesis presents results of experimental investigations into the interaction and reactions of atoms and molecules on the surface of model interstellar dust grains. Chapters three and four present results for the reaction of (3P)O on molecular ices. Specifically, the reaction of (3P)O and propyne or acrylonitrile. After a one hour dosing period, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS), are used to identify (3P)O addition products.

Reagent, Aldrich, 25.810-5 Procedure This material was prepared by a modification of the Organic Synthesis procedure. See lead reference. To a 2 liter three neck flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer, and ice/salt bath was charged 120 g ((2.14 mole) redistilled propargyl alcohol and 240 ml of water. To this mixture was then added a cooled solution of 135 ml concentrated sulfuric acid in 150 ml of water. A "Y" tube was inserted in one neck of the flask and a pressure equalized dropping funnel was placed in one neck of the "Y" tube. The other neck of the "Y" tube lead to two traps, in series, which in turn were connected to a McLeod pressure gage and vacuum pump. The third neck of the flask was connected to a fine capillary which served as a nitrogen inlet. A cooled solution of 210 g chromium trioxide, 200 ml of water and 100 ml concentrated sulfuric acid was then added to the dropping funnel. One trap was cooled to ~ - 10° with an ice/salt mixture and the second trap was cooled with a dry ice/acetone bath to ~ -78°C. The exterior of the 2 liter flask was cooled to ~ - 10°C with ice/salt.

In the absence of collisions thiophosgene absorbs at all excitation frequencies. Measurements of the ground state depletion as a function of C0 2 laser frequency do not correlate at all with the conventional infrared absorption spectrum. At excitation frequencies coincident with the v 4 overtone, no population build-up is observed in excited states of the 2v 4 manifold.

Cyano thioformaldehyde presents a series of prominent a- and b-type lines, which are the strongest previously unassigned features in our Q-band line survey of TMC-1. Remarkably, HCSCN is four times more abundant than cyano formaldehyde (HCOCN). On the other hand, HCSCCH is five times less abundant than propynal (HCOCCH). Surprisingly, we find an abundance ratio HCSCCH/HCSCN of ∼ 0.25, in contrast with most other ethynyl-cyanide pairs of molecules for which the CCH-bearing species is more abundant than the CN-bearing one. We discuss the formation of these molecules in terms of neutral-neutral reactions of S atoms with CH2CCH and CH2CN radicals as well as of CCH and CN radicals with H2CS.
