Abstract
Abstract
In order to understand the atmospheric implication of the chlorinated hydrofluoroolefin (HFO), the geometrical structures and the IR absorption cross sections of the stereoisomers 1-chloro-3,3-difluoropropene were studied using the B3LYP/6-31G(3df) and M06-2X/6-31G(3df) methods in the gas phase. The cis-trans isomerization was assessed using the M06-2X/6-311++G(3df,p)//6-31+G(3df,p) method. The latter method was also employed for thermochemistry and the rate coefficients of the reactions of •OH with the cis- and trans-isomers in the temperature ranging from 200 to 400 K. The computational method CCSD/cc-pVTZ//M06-2X/6-31+G(3df,p) was used to benchmark the rate coefficients. It turns out that, the trans-isomer is more stable than cis-isomer and the trans- to cis-isomerization is thermodynamically unfavorable. The rate coefficient follows the Gaussian law with respect to the inverse of temperature. At the global temperature of stratosphere, the calculated rate coefficients served to estimate the atmospheric lifetime along with the photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP). This yielded lifetimes of 4.31 and 7.31 days and POCPs of 3.80 and 2.23 for the cis- and trans-isomer, respectively. The radiative forcing efficiencies gave 0.0082 and 0.0152 W m−2 ppb−1 for the cis- and trans-isomer, respectively. The global warming potential approached zero for both stereoisomers at 20, 100, and 500 years time horizons.

Theoretical investigation of the atmospheric implication for the reaction of •OH radical with CF 2C(CH 3)-CX 3, X = H, F. J Mol Graph Model 2021; 106:107905. [PMID: 33984816 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2021.107905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Revised: 02/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The atmospheric implication of the hydrofluoroolefines (HFO) CF2C(CH3)-CX3, X=(H,F), through the reactions with •OH radical were assessed using the M06-2X/6-311++G(df,p)//6-31+G(df,p) method. The rate coefficient was calculated over the temperature range 200-500 K, and was accurately expressed in non-Arrhenius form exp(a+bT-1+cT-2) cm3molecule-1s-1, where a, b, and c are real constants. This served to estimate the atmospheric lifetime along with the photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP), which yielded lifetimes of 0.39 and 3.53 days and POCPs of 51.00 and 3.57 for X = H and F, respectively. The radiative forcing efficiencies (RFEs) were also estimated at G96LYP/6-311G(df,p) along with the global warming potentials (GWPs). The results showed negligible impact towards global warming for the HFOs.

Abstract
The rate constant of the reactions of ˙OH radicals with glyphosate (GPS) and its hydrates (GPS(H2O)n=1–3) were evaluated using the dual method M06-2X/6-311++G(df,p)//6-31+G(df,p) over the temperature range of 200–400 K. The results served to estimate the atmospheric lifetime along with the photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP). The calculations yielded an atmospheric lifetime of 2.34 hours and a POCP of 24.7 for GPS. Upon addition of water molecules, there is an increase of lifetime and decrease of POCP for water monomer and water dimer. The POCP for water trimer is slightly above the gaseous GPS. However, the POCPs of GPS and its hydrates are comparable to that of alkanes. The GPS and its hydrates were found to be a potential reservoir of CO2. The acidification potential (AP) of GPS was found to be 0.189 and decreases upon addition of water molecules. This shows negligible contribution to rain acidification as the AP is less than that of SO2. The UV-vis spectra were attained using the M06-L/6-311++G(3df,3pd) method and cover the range 160–260 nm which fits well with experiment. The rate constant of the reactions of ˙OH radical with glyphosate (GPS) and its hydrates (GPS(H2O)n=1–3) were evaluated using the dual method M06-2X/6-311++G(df,p)//6-31+G(df,p) over the temperature range of 200–400 K.![]()

Abstract
A series of thermal decomposition experiments were conducted over a temperature range of 873-1073 K to evaluate the thermal stability of 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene (HFO-1336mzz(Z)) and the production of hydrogen fluoride (HF). According to the detected products and experimental phenomena, the thermal decomposition of HFO-1336mzz(Z) could be divided into three stages. Our experimental results showed that HF concentration gradually increased with the elevation of thermal decomposition temperature. In this present study, a total of seven chemical reaction pathways of HFO-1336mzz(Z) pyrolysis were proposed to explore the generated mechanism on products through density functional theory (DFT) with M06-2X/6-311++(d,p) level theory. The thermal decomposition mechanism of pure HFO-1336mzz(Z) was discussed and the possible formation pathways of HF and other main products were proposed.

Abstract
The accurate assessment of radiative forcing efficiency (RFE) of a greenhouse gas is based on the precise knowledge of its structure and infrared absorption spectrum. The present work investigates the UV-vis absorption spectra and IR absorption spectra that are used for the determination of RFE of the short-lived compounds, cis- and trans-CHCl═CHCF3 (CTFP). These investigations were carried out with six different density functional theory (DFT) methods B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, M06, M06-2X, TPSS0, and ωB97X-D associated to the basis set 6-31G(3df). Therefrom, the relative populations of the two states cis and trans for temperatures over the range 220-370 K at 1 atm and along the atmospheric altitude were assessed. It turns out that trans-CTFP is the abundant component between the two states. This review reveals that B3LYP and M06 reproduce well the experimental results of UV-vis spectra of trans-CTFP. As for cis-CTFP, EOM-CCSD is not well fitted by DFT methods. The cis- to trans-CTFP isomerization leads to the red shift for DFT methods and to the blue shift in regard to EOM-CCSD and experimental results. The IR absorption spectra are well fitted by B3LYP over the range 500-1600 cm-1 and TPSS0 over 1300-2000 cm-1 for both stereoisomers. Moreover, the root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) of frequencies from experimental data are lower for B3LYP and TPSS0 for both systems. The computed IR absorption band strengths over 500-2000 cm-1 for cis- and over 600-1800 cm-1 for trans-CTFP are consistent with the experiment. The relevant descriptor RFEs of the climate effect were calculated using a narrow band model for a constant vertical profile and then corrected with a lifetime factor for different computational methods. The computed values correlate well with the experimental results for both stereoisomers except M06-2X and TPSS0. It is worth noting that, for both systems, the intense radiative forcing spectra are located at frequencies ranging in 1000-1200 cm-1. The lower forcings of trans-CTFP lying in the atmospheric window region 800-1000 cm-1 are greater than those of cis-CTFP. Therefore, RFE(trans-CTFP) = 1.127 RFE(cis-CTFP).

Abstract
Decomposition of perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) is of great significance due to their global distribution, persistence and toxicity to organisms. In this study, the photodegradation of a series of PFCAs (∼C2C12) in water by a medium-pressure mercury lamp was experimentally and theoretically examined. We found that photolysis of PFCAs all follow pseudo-first-order kinetics with the rate constant (kapp) increasing with carbon chain lengths, except for trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) which cannot be degraded by the polychromatic irradiation. Product analysis showed that the PFCAs were mainly decomposed into shorter carbon chain length PFCAs in a stepwise manner, with the accumulation of TFA and fluoride ions as the end products. Moreover, a small amount of perfluoroolefins (CnF2n) was determined as gas-phase products. Wiberg bond order calculations confirmed the cleavage of the CC bond between carboxylic carbon and the adjacent carbon as the first reaction step, and density functional theory-based calculations revealed that kapp value is correlated with some molecular structural parameters. In the case of mixture irradiation, the evolution profiles of individual PFCAs were different from that in single-component systems, due to the dynamic balance between production and degradation. This work reveals the main molecular descriptors controlling the degradation rate of different PFCAs species, and improves the general understanding on the photodegradation mechanisms, which will provide useful information for future researches.

Abstract
Reaction of chlorine (Cl) radical with heterocyclic saturated ether, tetrahydrofuran has been studied. The detailed reactivity and mechanism of this reaction is analyzed using hybrid density functional theory (DFT), B3LYP and BB1K methods, and aug-cc-pVTZ basis set. To explore the mechanism of the reaction of tetrahydrofuran with Cl radical, four possible sites of hydrogen atom (H) abstraction pathways in tetrahydrofuran were analyzed. The barrier height and rate constants are calculated for the four H-abstraction channels. The BB1K calculated rate constant for α-axial H-abstraction is comparable with the experimentally determined rate constant. It reflects that α-axial H-abstraction is the main degradation pathway of tetrahydrofuran with Cl radical. DFT-based reactivity descriptors are also calculated and these values describe α-axial H-abstraction as the main reaction channel.
