Zavitsas, Nikita Matsunaga, and Donald W. Rogers* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Long Island UniVersity, UniVersity Plaza, Brooklyn, New York 11201 ReceiVed: February 7, 2008; ReVised Manuscript ReceiVed: March 4, 2008 Standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K of unstrained alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alkylbenzenes can be expressed as a simple sum in which each term consists of the number of hydrogen atoms n of one of eight different types (n1-n8) multiplied by an associated coefficient (c1-c8) derived from the known enthalpy of formation of a typical molecule. Alkylbenzenes require one additive constant for each benzene ring, accounting for a possible ninth term in the sum. Terms are not needed to account for repulsive or attractive 1,3 interactions, hyperconjugation, or for protobranching, rendering them irrelevant. Conjugated eneynes and diynes show thermodynamic stabilizations much smaller than that observed for 1,3-butadiene, bringing into question the usual explanation for the thermodynamic stabilization of conjugated multiple bonds (p orbital overlap, π electron delocalization, etc.). ° ) - + - + - Introduction ∆f H (alkane) ( 3.345)n1 ( 2.490)n2 ( 1.590)n3 Certainly, there is no paucity of additive methods that 3 ° ) reproduce or predict the enthalpies of formation at 298 K, ∆fH , ∑ cini (1) of unstrained hydrocarbons to acceptable accuracy, generally t)1 within experimental error.

  • Benchmarking and Application of Density Functional Methods In
    BENCHMARKING AND APPLICATION OF DENSITY FUNCTIONAL METHODS IN COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY by BRIAN N. PAPAS (Under Direction the of Henry F. Schaefer III) ABSTRACT Density Functional methods were applied to systems of chemical interest. First, the effects of integration grid quadrature choice upon energy precision were documented. This was done through application of DFT theory as implemented in five standard computational chemistry programs to a subset of the G2/97 test set of molecules. Subsequently, the neutral hydrogen-loss radicals of naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene, and pentacene and their anions where characterized using five standard DFT treatments. The global and local electron affinities were computed for the twelve radicals. The results for the 1- naphthalenyl and 2-naphthalenyl radicals were compared to experiment, and it was found that B3LYP appears to be the most reliable functional for this type of system. For the larger systems the predicted site specific adiabatic electron affinities of the radicals are 1.51 eV (1-anthracenyl), 1.46 eV (2-anthracenyl), 1.68 eV (9-anthracenyl); 1.61 eV (1-tetracenyl), 1.56 eV (2-tetracenyl), 1.82 eV (12-tetracenyl); 1.93 eV (14-pentacenyl), 2.01 eV (13-pentacenyl), 1.68 eV (1-pentacenyl), and 1.63 eV (2-pentacenyl). The global minimum for each radical does not have the same hydrogen removed as the global minimum for the analogous anion. With this in mind, the global (or most preferred site) adiabatic electron affinities are 1.37 eV (naphthalenyl), 1.64 eV (anthracenyl), 1.81 eV (tetracenyl), and 1.97 eV (pentacenyl). In later work, ten (scandium through zinc) homonuclear transition metal trimers were studied using one DFT 2 functional.

  • Trend Analysis for Atmospheric Hydrocarbon Partitioning Using Continuous Thermodynamics
    AUGUST 2005 HARSTAD 2977 Trend Analysis for Atmospheric Hydrocarbon Partitioning Using Continuous Thermodynamics K. HARSTAD Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California (Manuscript received 22 April 2004, in final form 31 January 2005) ABSTRACT The partitioning of atmospheric hydrocarbons into vapor and condensed phases when the species count is large is considered using the formalism of continuous thermodynamics. The vapor saturation pressures and condensate species distribution are parameterized using the species normal boiling temperatures. Qualitative trends in activity coefficient values and phase equilibrium behavior that are relevant to the outer planets and Titan are discussed in terms of a much simplified perspective on these aspects of partitioning. The trends found are generally consistent with those from other published atmospheric model results. 1. Introduction with particular emphasis on extraterrestrial bodies Hydrocarbons (and possibly derivative, i.e., oxidized without oxidizing environments. These models are in species) are commonly present in small amounts in general, very complex, involving partly the kinetics of a planetary atmospheres (e.g., Earth, the outer planets, large number of chemical reactions as well as turbulent Titan), and may attain a relatively wide range of carbon diffusion of chemical species in the atmosphere (Do- number.

  • Incomplete Draft Documentation of The
    INCOMPLETE DRAFT DOCUMENTATION OF THE SAPRC-16 MECHANISM GENERATION SYSTEM Interim Report to California Air Resources Board Contract No. 11-761 William P. L. Carter May 25, 2019 College of Engineering Center for Environmental Research and Technology (CE-CERT) University of California, Riverside, California 92521 SUMMARY This document gives a description of the automated chemical mechanism generation system that is used to derive gas-phase atmospheric reaction mechanisms for reactive organic compounds for use in atmospheric chemical models. In particular, this system is used to derive the SAPRC-16 that is being developed. The system, called MechGen uses a computer program to derive fully explicit mechanisms for the reactions of many types of emitted organic compounds and their oxidation products when they react in the atmosphere in the presence of oxides of nitrogen and other pollutants, and then uses the results to derive lumped mechanisms suitable for use in atmospheric models. This report gives an overview of system, describes the procedures used to generate detailed explicit mechanisms, and the procedures used to derive lumped reactions for the SAPRC-16 chemical mechanism for atmospheric modeling. The scientific basis for the generation of the detailed mechanisms, including the assumptions, approximations, and assignments or estimations of the rate constants or branching ratios involved, are described in a separate document (Carter, 2019a). The system runs on a programming platform originally developed for text-based and is accessible by anyone over the internet using a web-based interface, with a telnet login being used to program and manage the system and input assignments. The web-based interface can be used to generate complete mechanisms for selected compounds or to examine individual reactions to see documentation output concerning how individual reactions and rate constants are derived.

Rev. 2012, 112, 1681–1709. de Meijere, A. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1979, 18, 809–886. General Strategies for Cyclopropanation: Introduction • via carbenoids "MCH2X" H HH H H H • via carbenes generated by decomposition of diazo compounds H H H H H H RCHN2 • Cyclopropanes are stable but highly strained compounds (ring strain ~29 kcal/mol). R • via Michael addition and ring closure • C–C bond angles = 60º (vs 109.5º for normal Csp3–Csp3 bonds). • Substituents on cyclopropanes are eclipsed. H–C–H angle is ~120º. As a result, the C–H bonds RCH–LG have higher s character compared to normal sp3 bonds. EWG EWG EWG LG R • Because of their inherent strain, the reactivity of cyclopropanes is more closely analogous to that of alkenes than that of alkanes.
