Hydrogen Migration

The 1,2-hydrogen migration of hydrogen peroxide has been investigated by abinitio methods and the Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate (IRC) has been constructed. An analysis of the evolution of the electron distribution along the reaction path has shown that the shifting hydrogen behaves as a proton. This transferring proton polarizes the O—O bond of the hydrogen peroxide that becomes broken at the transition state. If a water molecule is allowed to participate in the reaction, the energy barrier is noticeably lowered, this water molecule acting as a bifunctional catalyst. Keywords: 1,2-hydrogen migration, hydrogen peroxide, proton transfer, bifunctional catalyst, Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate.

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.
