Clear Distinction

A theoretical study of H abstraction reactions from benzo[a]pyrene and chrysene shows differences in kinetic effectiveness of various radicals and a clear distinction between zigzag and armchair edges.

Ph Conditions

The thermodynamic stability of twenty-nine Fe(III) complexes with various deprotonated forms of lipoic (LA) and dihydrolipoic (DHLA) acids, with coordination numbers 4, 5 and 6, is studied at the M06(SMD)/6-31++G(d,p) level of theory in water under physiological pH conditions at 298.15 K. Even though the complexes with LA- are more stable than those with DHLA−, the most thermodynamically stable Fe(III) complexes involve DHLA2−. The twenty-four exergonic complexes are used to evaluate the secondary antioxidant activity of DHLA and LA relative to the Fe(III)/Fe(II) reduction by O2•− and ascorbate. Rate constants for the single-electron transfer (SET) reactions are calculated. The thermodynamic stability of the Fe(III) complexes does not fully correlate with the rate constant of their SET reactions, but more exergonic complexes usually exhibit smaller SET rate constants. Some Cu(II) complexes and their reduction to Cu(I) are also studied at the same level of theory for comparison. The Fe(III) complexes appear to be more stable than their Cu(II) counterparts. Relative to the Fe(III)/Fe(II) reduction with ascorbate, DHLA can fully inhibit the formation of •OH radicals, but not by reaction with O2•−. Relative to the Cu(II)/Cu(I) reduction with ascorbate, the effects of DHLA are moderate/high, and with O2•− they are minor. LA has minor to negligible inhibition effects in all the cases considered.

Dynamics Method

A dual-level direct dynamics method is employed to study the reaction mechanism of (CH3)2NNH2 (unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine) with the oxygen (O) atom. The geometries and frequencies of all the stationary points are optimized at the MPW1K/6-311G (d, p) level, and the energy profiles are further refined by the interpolated single-point energies (ISPE) method at the BMC-CCSD level of theory. The rate constants of the O atom with (CH3)2NNH2 are evaluated over a wide temperature range of 200–2000 K by using the canonical variational transition-state theory (CVT) with the small curvature tunneling correction (SCT). The agreement between the theoretical and experimental rate constants is good around room temperature. The channels of H abstraction from the -NH2 position favor temperatures below 1200 K. With increasing temperature, contributions from other channels should be taken into account. The reactivity of N2H4, CH3NHNH2, and (CH3)2NNH2 toward atomic O is compared to explore the methylation effect.
