Rosaria Iesce*, F. Cermola, M. Rubino Dipartimento di Chimica Organica e Biochimica, Università di Napoli Federico II, Complesso Universitario Monte S. Angelo, via Cinthia 4, I-80126 – Napoli, Italy Abstract: Photooxygenation of non-aromatic heterocycles and cyclic compounds containing non-usual heteroatoms, namely silicon, germanium and tellurium has been reviewed. All three types of photooxygenation (Types I-III) can take place. Moreover the heteroatom can be frequently involved endorsing electron-transfer reactions which turn out to be the main pathways, even in singlet oxygen oxygenation. A vast collection of novel and unexpected products are often formed, sometimes in a stereocontrolled manner. 1.

It is a member of the chalcogen group in Oxygen, 8O the periodic table, a highly reactive nonmetal, and an oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most elements as well as with other compounds. After hydrogen and helium, oxygen is the third-most abundant element in the universe by mass. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a colorless and odorless diatomic gas with the formula O2. Diatomic oxygen gas constitutes 20.95% of the Earth's atmosphere. As compounds including oxides, the element makes up almost half of the Earth's crust.[2] Liquid oxygen boiling Dioxygen provides the energy released in combustion[3] and Oxygen aerobic cellular respiration,[4] and many major classes of Allotropes O2, O3 (ozone) organic molecules in living organisms contain oxygen atoms, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and fats, as do Appearance gas: colorless the major constituent inorganic compounds of animal shells, liquid and solid: pale teeth, and bone.

  • Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/MO Diagram 1
    Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/MO Diagram 1 Inorganic Chemistry/Chemical Bonding/MO Diagram A molecular orbital diagram or MO diagram for short is a qualitative descriptive tool explaining chemical bonding in molecules in terms of molecular orbital theory in general and the Linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbital method (LCAO method) in particular [1] [2] [3] . This tool is very well suited for simple diatomic molecules such as dihydrogen, dioxygen and carbon monoxide but becomes more complex when discussing polynuclear molecules such as methane. It explains why some molecules exist and not others, how strong bonds are, and what electronic transitions take place. Dihydrogen MO diagram The smallest molecule, hydrogen gas exists as dihydrogen (H-H) with a single covalent bond between two hydrogen atoms. As each hydrogen atom has a single 1s atomic orbital for its electron, the bond forms by overlap of these two atomic orbitals. In figure 1 the two atomic orbitals are depicted on the left and on the right. The vertical axis always represents the orbital energies. The atomic orbital energy correlates with electronegativity as a more electronegative atom holds an electron more tightly thus lowering its energy. MO treatment is only valid when the atomic orbitals have comparable energy; when they differ greatly the mode of bonding becomes ionic. Each orbital is singly occupied with the up and down arrows representing an electron. The two AO's can overlap in two ways depending on their phase relationship. The phase of an orbital is a direct consequence of the oscillating, wave-like properties of electrons.

Photochemical singlet oxygen generation (SOG) has received tremendous attention historically, both for its practical application as well as for the fundamental aspects of its reactivity. Applications of singlet oxygen in medicine, wastewater treatment, microbial disinfection, and syn- thetic chemistry are the direct results of active past research into this reaction. Such advancements were achieved through design factors focused predominantly on the photosensitizer (PS), whose photoactivity is relegated to self-regulated structure and energetics in ground and excited states. However, the relatively new supramolecular approach of dictating molecular structure through non-bonding interactions has allowed photochemists to render otherwise inactive or less effective 1 PSs as efficient O2 generators. This concise and first of its kind review aims to compile progress in SOG research achieved through supramolecular photochemistry in an effort to serve as a refer- ence for future research in this direction. The aim of this review is to highlight the value in the Citation: Kashyap, A.; Ramasamy, E.; supramolecular photochemistry approach to tapping the unexploited technological potential within Ramalingam, V.; Pattabiraman, M.

Dmitry Sharapa[a], Andreas Hirsch[b], Bernd Meyer[a],[c] and Timothy Clark*[a],[d] Abstract: Ab initio and density-functional theory calculations have been used to investigate the structure, electronic properties, spectra and reactivity of cubic C8, which is predicted to be aromatic by Hirsch’s rule. Although highly strained and with a small amount of diradical character, the carbon cube represents a surprisingly deep minimum and should therefore be observable as an isolated molecule. It is, however, very reactive, both with itself and triplet oxygen. Calculated infrared, Raman and UV/vis spectra are provided to aid identification of cubic C8 should it be synthesised. [a] Prof. T.

It has been proposed that this reaction takes place via proton transfer toward the distal His and hydride transfer toward the oxoferryl oxygen (H+/H- scheme) and some authors have related it to singlet oxygen generation. Here, we consider the possible reaction schemes and qualitatively analyze the electronic state of the species involved to show that the commonly used association of the H+/H- scheme with singlet oxygen production is not justified.

  • Deactivation of Redox Mediators in Lithium-Oxygen Batteries by Singlet Oxygen

Freunberger 2 & Yang-Kook Sun 1 Non-aqueous lithium-oxygen batteries cycle by forming lithium peroxide during discharge 1234567890():,; and oxidizing it during recharge. The significant problem of oxidizing the solid insulating lithium peroxide can greatly be facilitated by incorporating redox mediators that shuttle electron-holes between the porous substrate and lithium peroxide. Redox mediator stability is thus key for energy efficiency, reversibility, and cycle life. However, the gradual deactivation of redox mediators during repeated cycling has not conclusively been explained. Here, we show that organic redox mediators are predominantly decomposed by singlet oxygen that forms during cycling. Their reaction with superoxide, previously assumed to mainly trigger their degradation, peroxide, and dioxygen, is orders of magnitude slower in comparison. The reduced form of the mediator is markedly more reactive towards singlet oxygen than the oxidized form, from which we derive reaction mechanisms supported by density functional theory calculations. Redox mediators must thus be designed for stability against singlet oxygen. 1 Department of Energy Engineering, Hanyang University, Seoul 04763, Republic of Korea. 2 Institute for Chemistry and Technology of Materials, Graz University of Technology, Graz 8010, Austria. 3 Materials Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois 60439, USA. 4 Center for Energy Convergence Research, Green City Technology Institute, Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Seoul 02792, Republic of Korea.

    12014 J. Phys. Chem. A 2000, 104, 12014-12020 What Are the Reasons for the Kinetic Stability of a Mixture of H2 and O2? Michael Filatov,† Werner Reckien,‡ Sigrid D. Peyerimhoff,*,‡ and Sason Shaik*,† Department of Organic Chemistry and The Lise Meitner-MinerVa Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, Hebrew UniVersity, 91904 Jerusalem, Israel, and Institut fu¨r Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie der UniVersita¨t Bonn, Wegelerstrasse 12, 53115 Bonn, Germany ReceiVed: September 13, 2000 Calculations at the (14,10)CASSCF/6-31G** and the MR-(S)DCI/cc-pVTZ levels are employed to answer the title question by studying three possible modes of reaction between dioxygen and dihydrogen molecules at the ground triplet state and excited singlet state of O2. These reaction modes, which are analogous to well-established mechanisms for oxidants such as transition metal oxene cations and mono-oxygenase enzymes, are the following: (i) the concerted addition, (ii) the oxene-insertion, and (iii) the hydrogen abstraction followed by hydrogen rebound. The “rebound” mechanism is found to be the most preferable of the three mechanisms. However, the barrier of the H-abstraction step is substantial both for the triplet and the singlet states of O2, and the process is highly endothermic (>30 kcal/mol) and is unlikely to proceed at ambient conditions. The calculations revealed also that the lowest singlet state of O2 has very high barriers for reaction and therefore cannot mediate a facile oxidation of H2 in contrast to transition metal oxenide cation catalysts and mono- oxygenase enzymes. This fundamental difference is explained. 1. Introduction of oxidation.

Mayer and David G. Whitten) We describe here a surface-bound, oxide-based procedure for the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) (22), oxidizes the alkyl photooxidation of a family of aromatic hydrocarbons by a phosphate- aromatic substrate within 6 μs in 1:1 vol/vol H2O/MeCN to give a bearing flavin mononucleotide (FMN) photocatalyst on high surface dihydroflavin intermediate (FMNH2)(23).FMNH2 is sub- area metal-oxide films. sequently reoxidized to the ground state with oxygen as the ter- minal oxidant (17, 24, 25). A mechanism analogous to flavin | excited state | photooxidation | oxide surface | alkyl benzene methoxybenzyl alcohol oxidation by riboflavin tetraacetate in 1:1 vol/vol H2O/MeCN by Megerle et al. (18) is shown in Eqs. 2–4. n important element in synthetic organic chemistry has been In an alternate pathway, formation of an alkyl benzene radical in Athe development and application of organic excited states in the presence of oxygen has the capability to initiate radical chains, as solution, either by sensitization or electron transfer catalysis (1). the peroxyl radicals are very reactive with their corresponding alkyl Exploitation of organic excited states has evolved from the bench benzene form. As pointed out earlier, there is a possibility of scale to the photochemical reactor scale.
