Variational Transition State

Barrierless unimolecular association reactions are prominent in atmospheric and combustion mechanisms but are challenging for both experiment and kinetics theory. A key datum for understanding the pressure dependence of association and dissociation reactions is the high-pressure limit, but this is often available experimentally only by extrapolation. Here we calculate the high-pressure limit for the addition of a chlorine atom to acetylene molecule (Cl + C2H2→C2H2Cl). This reaction has outer and inner transition states in series; the outer transition state is barrierless, and it is necessary to use different theoretical frameworks to treat the two kinds of transition state. Here we study the reaction in the high-pressure limit using multifaceted variable-reaction-coordinate variational transition-state theory (VRC-VTST) at the outer transition state and reaction-path variational transition state theory (RP-VTST) at the inner turning point; then we combine the results with the canonical unified statistical (CUS) theory. The calculations are based on a density functional validated against the W3X-L method, which is based on coupled cluster theory with single, double, and triple excitations and a quasiperturbative treatment of connected quadruple excitations [CCSDT(Q)], and the computed rate constants are in good agreement with some of the experimental results. The chlorovinyl (C2H2Cl) adduct has two isomers that are equilibrium structures of a double-well C≡C–H bending potential. Two procedures are used to calculate the vibrational partition function of chlorovinyl; one treats the two isomers separately and the other solves the anharmonic energy levels of the double well. We use these results to calculate the standard-state free energy and equilibrium constant of the reaction.

Semiempirical AM1 and PM3 (gaseous phase) and AM1-COSMO, PM3-COSMO and PM3-AQ (liquid phase) methods were used to examine the structure, as well as the thermodynamic and physicochemical features (dipole moments and LUMO and HOMO energies), of tautomeric forms of neutral, mono- and di-protonated acridin-9-amine. The energy gaps between possible tautomers are only insignificantly influenced by the medium and reveal the coexistence of neutral and diprotonated entities in two forms, and the monoprotonated entity in one form. Entropy and thermal energy, which can be evaluated only for gaseous systems on the basis of statistical mechanics, both increase with temperature and affect equilibria between tautomers. The mechanism of bimolecular tautomerization of neutral acridin-9-amine was examinated by the PM3 and PM3-AQ methods. The inclusion of entropy changes accompanying tautomerization in the gaseous phase enabled high-pressure-limit rate constants for well-defined steps of the process at the RRKM and transition state level of theory to be predicted. Thermodynamic and kinetic considerations indicate that neutral acridin-9-amine should coexist in amino and imino tautomeric forms, and that both these entities can convert into each other at moderate temperatures.
