Methyl vinyl ketone+OH and methacrolein+OH oxidation reactions: a master equation analysis of the pressure- and temperature-dependent rate constants.
2006
High-level electronic structure calculations and master equation analyses were carried out to obtain the pressure- and temperature-dependent rate constants of the methyl vinyl ketone+OH and methacrolein+OH reactions. The balance between the OH addition reactions at the high-pressure limit, the OH addition reactions in the fall-off region, and the pressure-independent hydrogen abstractions involved in these multiwell and multichannel systems, has been shown to be crucial to understand the pressure and temperature dependence of each global reaction. In particular, the fall-off region of the OH addition reactions contributes to the inverse temperature dependence of the rate constants in the Ar…
Enthalpies of formation of isoprene’s major oxidation byproducts
2005
Abstract The theoretical enthalpies of formation ( Δ f H 298 . 15 ∘ ) of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK, CH 2 CHC(O)CH 3 ), methacrolein (MACR, CH 2 C(CH 3 )CHO), and the radical products formed in their corresponding OH radical oxidations have been calculated with DFT (MPW1K/6-31+G(d,p)) and multilevel (MCCM-UT-CCSD(T)//MPW1K/6-31+G(d,p)) methods. The bond dissociation energies ( BDE , DH 298 . 15 0 ) of the H-atoms that can be abstracted from the MVK and MACR molecules, and the C–O forming bonds of the OH addition products are also calculated. The regioselectivity of the global reaction is discussed in terms of bond strength.
Theoretical study of the formation reaction of the methyl vinyl ketone: A conformational approach
2005
The formation reaction of both isomers of the methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) from the corresponding alkoxy radicals was investigated by means of theoretical methods based on quantum chemistry. Perturbative unrestricted Moller–Plesset (UMP2) and density functional methods B3LYP and BH and HLYP were used to obtain the stationary points on the potential energy surface. In addition to this, the interconversion reaction between both isomers of the MVK was studied, characterizing the corresponding transition state. A conformational study was done, and the energy and geometry of the stationary points located were analyzed by means of ab initio calculations. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum …
Pressure dependence in the methyl vinyl ketone + OH and methacrolein + OH oxidation reactions: an electronic structure study.
2005
High-level electronic structure calculations were carried out for the study of the reaction pathways in the OH-initiated oxidations of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and methacrolein (MACR). For the two conformers of MVK (called synperiplanar and antiperiplanar), the addition channels of OH to the terminal and central carbon atom of the double bond dominate the overall rate constant, whereas the abstraction of the methyl hydrogen atoms has no significant kinetic role. In the case of MACR, only the antiperiplanar conformer is important in its reactivity. In addition, the lower Gibbs free energy barrier for MACR corresponds to the aldehydic hydrogen abstraction reaction, which will be somewhat mor…
