  • Hidden Complexities in the Reaction of H2O2 and HNO Revealed by Ab Initio Quantum Chemical Cite This: Phys
    PCCP PAPER Hidden complexities in the reaction of H2O2 and HNO revealed by ab initio quantum chemical Cite this: Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2017, 19, 29549 investigations† Daniel Beckett, Marc Edelmann, Jonathan D. Raff and Krishnan Raghavachari* Nitroxyl (HNO) and hydrogen peroxide have both been implicated in a variety of reactions relevant to environmental and physiological processes and may contribute to a unique, unexplored, pathway for the production of nitrous acid (HONO) in soil. To investigate the potential for this reaction, we report an in-depth investigation of the reaction pathway of H2O2 and HNO forming HONO and water. We find the breaking of the peroxide bond and a coupled proton transfer in the first step leads to hydrogen nitryl (HNO2) and an endogenous water, with an extrapolated NEVPT2 (multireference perturbation theory) barrier of 29.3 kcal molÀ1. The first transition state is shown to possess diradical character linking the far peroxide oxygen to the bridging, reacting, peroxide oxygen. The energy of this first step, when calculated using hybrid density functional theory, is shown to depend heavily on the amount of Hartree–Fock exchange in the functional, with higher amounts leading to a higher barrier and more diradical character. Additionally, high amounts of spin contamination cause CCSD(T) to significantly overestimate the TS1 barrier with a value of 36.2 kcal molÀ1 when using the stable UHF wavefunction as the reference wavefunction. However, when using the restricted Hartree–Fock reference wavefunction, the TS1 CCSD(T) energy is lowered to yield a barrier of 31.2 kcal molÀ1, in much better agreement with the Received 29th August 2017, NEVPT2 result.

  • On the Distinction Between Nitroxyl and Nitric Oxide Using Nitronyl Nitroxides
    Published on Web 05/26/2010 On the Distinction between Nitroxyl and Nitric Oxide Using Nitronyl Nitroxides Uri Samuni,† Yuval Samuni,‡ and Sara Goldstein*,§ Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Queens College, City UniVersity of New York, Flushing, New York 11367, and Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dental Medicine, and Institute of Chemistry, The Accelerator Laboratory, The Hebrew UniVersity of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91904, Israel Received March 8, 2010; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A better understanding of the origins of NO and HNO and their activities and biological functions requires accurate methods for their detection and quantification. The unique reaction of NO with nitronyl nitroxides such as 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide (C-PTIO), which yields the corresponding imino nitroxides, is widely used for NO detection (mainly by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy) and for modulation of NO-induced physiological functions. The present study demonstrates that HNO readily reacts with nitronyl nitroxides, leading to the formation of the respective imino nitroxides and hydroxylamines via a complex mechanism. Through the use of the HNO donor Angeli’s salt (AS) with metmyoglobin as a competing agent, the rate constant for C-PTIO reduction by HNO has been determined to be (1.4 ( 0.2) × 105 M-1 s-1 at pH 7.0. This reaction yields the corresponding nitronyl • hydroxylamine C-PTIO-H and NO, which is trapped by C-PTIO to form NO2 and the corresponding imino • nitroxide, C-PTI. NO2 oxidizes the nitronyl and imino nitroxides to their respective oxoammonium cations, which decay mainly via comproportionation with the nitronyl and imino hydroxylamines.

  • Nitroxyl-Mediated Peroxide Modification of Polypropylene
    Nitroxyl-Mediated Peroxide Modification of Polypropylene by Benjamin Rhys Jones A thesis submitted to the Department of Chemical Engineering In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (May 2021) Copyright ©Benjamin Rhys Jones, 2021 Abstract The thermal stability of alkoxyamine derivatives of polypropylene (PP) is examined through studies of model hydrocarbon systems and atactic-PP substrates. Primary, secondary and tertiary alkoxyamines are integral to modern techniques for modifying the architecture of linear PP materials, and detailed knowledge of their stability at polymer processing temperatures is needed to further understand the underlying principles of nitroxyl-based formulations. GC analysis of alkoxyamines derived from 2,4-dimethylpentane + TEMPO show that the tertiary regioisomer is susceptible to disproportionation to alkene + HOTEMPO at temperatures as low as 140 oC. Extension of these thermolysis experiments to atactic PP-g-HOTEMPO mirrored the model compound results, with appreciable extents of nitroxyl generation observed over a 20 min timescale at 180 oC. This reaction extent is not expected to dramatically alter the performance of nitroxyl-based formulations that modify the structure and composition of PP homopolymers. The yield of H-atom abstraction by peroxide-derived alkoxy radicals is another fundamental reaction that underlies polyolefin modifications. Indirect measures based on analysis of peroxide byproducts are supplemented with a fluorescence spectroscopy method that quantifies polymer- bound alkoxyamines. H-atom transfer from high density polyethylene (HDPE) and poly(ethylene-co-propylene) (EPR) was gained by using napthoyloxy-TEMPO, whose fluorophore supports a highly sensitive analytical method. This technique is extended to studies of reactive HDPE/EPR blending to ascertain the extent of peroxide migration from one phase to the other during the compounding process.

  • Nitroxyl (Hno) and Carbonylnitrenes
    INVESTIGATION OF REACTIVE INTERMEDIATES: NITROXYL (HNO) AND CARBONYLNITRENES by Tyler A. Chavez A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland February 2016 © 2016 Tyler A. Chavez All rights reserved Abstract Membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) is a well-established method used to detect gases dissolved in solution through the use of a semipermeable hydrophobic membrane that allows the dissolved gases, but not the liquid phase, to enter a mass spectrometer. Interest in the unique biological activity of azanone (nitroxyl, HNO) has highlighted the need for new sensitive and direct detection methods. Recently, MIMS has been shown to be a viable method for HNO detection with nanomolar sensitivity under physiologically relevant conditions (Chapter 2). In addition, this technique has been used to explore potential biological pathways to HNO production (Chapter 3). Nitrenes are reactive intermediates containing neutral, monovalent nitrogen atoms. In contrast to alky- and arylnitrenes, carbonylnitrenes are typically ground state singlets. In joint synthesis, anion photoelectron spectroscopic, and computational work we studied the three nitrenes, benzoylnitrene, acetylnitrene, and trifluoroacetylnitrene, with the purpose of determining the singlet-triplet splitting (ΔEST = ES – ET) in each case (Chapter 7). Further, triplet ethoxycarbonylnitrene and triplet t-butyloxycarbonylnitrene have been observed following photolysis of sulfilimine precursors by time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy (Chapter 6). The observed growth kinetics of nitrene products suggest a contribution from both the triplet and singlet nitrene, with the contribution from the singlet becoming more prevalent in polar solvents.
