The objective of this work is to perform a theoretical analysis of the antioxidant properties of a series of 8-hydroxyquinolines (8-HQs) to rationalize the available experimental results and to design new potent 8-HQ derivatives. The study was carried out in gas phase and in methanol at the DFT/B3LYP/ 6-311++G(d,p) computational level. The formation of stable ArO• radicals is discussed on the basis of different mechanisms, namely, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), single electron transfer followed by proton transfer (SET-PT), and single proton loss electron transfer (SPLET). The obtained results show that the HAT mechanism is, thermodynamically, more favoured in gas phase, whereas the SPLET pathway is more favoured in polar solvents. The calculated thermochemical descriptors allow classification of the antioxidant power of the studied compounds.

ABSTRACTWe have measured the steady state concentration of gas phase C2 in Ar/H2/CH4 and Ar/H2/C60 microwave plasmas used for the deposition of nanocrystalline diamond films. High sensitivity white light absorption spectroscopy is used to monitor the C2 density using the d 3 Π ← a3Π (0,0) vibrational band of C2 as chamber pressure, microwave power, substrate temperature and feed gas mixtures are varied in both chemistries. Understanding how these parameters influence the C2 density in the plasma volume provides insight into discharge mechanisms relevant to the deposition of nanocrystalline diamond.

Recent laboratory studies of droplet combustion indicate the potential for substantial gas phase particulate formation even with single component hydrocarbon fuels. Formation of large particles has been observed in the neighborhood of burning droplet arrays, particularly when the droplets are closely spaced. To provide insight into the potential for particulate formation during the combustion of fuel droplet sprays in gas turbine combustors, a mathematical framework is developed for examining the formation of soot nuclei in droplet combustion. A simplified model of the chemistry of fuel pyrolysis and nuclei formation is used and a series of calculations is made to explore the sensitivity of soot nuclei formation to conditions typical of gas turbine combustion systems.

Avobenzone (AB) is a widely used UVA filter known to undergo irreversible photodegradation. Here, we investigate the detailed pathways by which AB photodegrades by applying UV laser-interfaced mass spectrometry to protonated AB ions. Gas-phase infrared multiple-photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectra obtained with the free electron laser for infrared experiments, FELIX, (600-1800 cm-1) are also presented to confirm the geometric structures. The UV gas-phase absorption spectrum (2.5-5 eV) of protonated AB contains bands that correspond to selective excitation of either the enol or diketo forms, allowing us to probe the resulting, tautomer-dependent photochemistry. Numerous photofragments (i.e. photodegradants) are directly identified for the first time, with m/z 135 and 161 dominating, and m/z 146 and 177 also appearing prominently. Analysis of the production spectra of these photofragments reveals that that strong enol to keto photoisomerism is occurring, and that protonation significantly disrupts the stability of the enol (UVA active) tautomer. Close comparison of fragment ion yields with the TDDFT-calculated absorption spectra give detailed information on the location and identity of the dissociative excited state surfaces, and thus provide new insight into the photodegradation pathways of avobenzone, and photoisomerisation of the wider class of β-diketone containing molecules.<br>

<p>Carbohydrates are among the most complex class of biomolecules and even subtle variations in their structures are attributed to diverse biological function. Mass spectrometry has been essential for large scale glycomics and glycoproteomics studies, but the gas-phase structures and sometimes anomalous fragmentation properties of carbohydrates present longstanding challenges. Here we investigate the gas-phase properties of a panel of isomeric protonated disaccharides differing in their linkage configurations. Multiple conformations were evident for most of the structures based on their fragment ion abundances by tandem mass spectrometry, their ion mobilities in several gases, and their deuterium uptake kinetics by gas-phase hydrogen deuterium exchange. Most notably, we find that the properties of the Y-ion fragments are characteristically influenced by the precursor carbohydrate’s linkage configuration. This study reveals how protonated carbohydrate fragment ions can retain ‘linkage memory’ that provides structural insight into their intact precursor.</p>

Antioxidant activity of folic acid (FA) was investigated via two main antioxidant mechanisms: hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and single electron transfer (SET) at the DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. The characterizing thermochemical properties such as bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs), ionization energy (IE) and electron affinity (EA) were calculated in the gas phase. Analyses of HOMOs distribution shows that the postions which easily donate electrons to free radicals are essentially found at C ring, while the positions which easily accept electrons (LUMOs) from radicals are mainly situated at B ring. The lowest BDE values equal to 76.5 and 80.1 kcal/mol are obtained at C19-H and C9–H position, respectively. It is showed that FA represents a potential antioxidant via HAT mechanism. In addition, the IE and EA values calculated in the gas phase are equal to 5.45 eV and 1.87 eV, respectively. This result shows that FA has higher ability to donate electrons into free radicals, while the ability to receive electrons is quite weak. Finally, the HAT reaction between FA and reactive radical like HOO• was also calculated at the same level of theory. This provides more insight into its mechanism on free radicals scavenging.
