Abstract
Ibuprofen (IBU), a widely used antipyretic and analgesic, has been frequently detected in various natural water systems. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are effective ways to remove pollutants from water. The degradation of IBU under UV/H2O2 conditions in the presence of various kinds of natural dissolved matter was investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The eco-toxicological properties were predicted based on a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model. The calculated results showed that two H-abstraction reactions occurring at the side chain are predominant pathways in the initial reaction. H2O, NH3, CH3OH, C2H5OH, HCOOH and CH3COOH can catalyze the H transfer in the degradation process through decreasing the energy barriers and the catalysis effects follow the order of NH3 > alcohols > acids > H2O. The catalysis effects differ under acid or alkaline conditions. The overall rate coefficient of the reaction of IBU with ˙OH is calculated to be 5.04 × 109 M-1 s-1 at 298 K. IBU has harmful effects on aquatic organisms and human beings and the degradation process cannot significantly reduce its toxicity. Among all products, 2-(4-formylphenyl)propanoic acid, which is more toxic than IBU, is the most toxic with acute and chronic toxicity, developmental toxicity, mutagenicity, genotoxic carcinogenicity and irritation/corrosivity to skin. The findings in this work provide new insights into the degradation of IBU and can help to assess its environmental risks.

Abstract
To understand the atmospheric chemistry of hydrofluoroethers, we have studied the oxidation of a highly fluorinated compound n-C2F5CF(OCH3)CF(CF3)2 (HFE-7300) by OH/Cl oxidants. Here, we have employed M06-2X functional along with a 6-31 + G(d,p) basis set to obtain the optimized structures, various forms of energies, and different modes of frequencies for all species. We have characterized energies of all species on the potential energy surface, and it indicates that H-abstraction from n-C2F5CF(OCH3)CF(CF3)2 by Cl atom is kinetically more dominant than the H-abstraction reaction initiated by OH radical. In contrast, the calculated energy change (ΔrH°298 and ΔrG°298) results govern that OH-initiated H-abstraction reaction is highly exothermic and spontaneous compared to the Cl-initiated H-abstraction reaction. Rate constants are estimated using transition state theory as well as canonical variation transition state theory at the temperature range 200-1000 K and 1 atm pressure. The calculated rate constants of the H-abstraction channels are found to be in good agreement with the reported experimental rate constant at 298 K. Moreover, we have estimated the atmospheric lifetimes of HFE-7300 for the reaction with OH radical and Cl atom and are found to be 1.75 and 153.93 years, respectively. Additionally, the global warming potentials for HFE-7300 molecule are also estimated for 20-, 100-, and 500-year time horizons. Further, subsequent aerial oxidation of product radical (n-C2F5CF(OCH2)CF(CF3)2) in the presence of NO radical is performed, and it produced alkoxy radical via formation of peroxy radical. This alkoxy radical undergoes unimolecular decompositions via two different ways and formed n-C2F5CF(OCHO)CF(CF3)2 and n-C2F5CF(OH) CF(CF3)2 products.

Abstract
Theoretical investigations were carried out on the gas-phase reactions of CF3C(O)OCH2CH3, ethyl trifluoroacetate (ETFA) with Cl atoms by means of modern density functional theory methods. The optimized geometries, frequencies and minimum energy path were obtained with the hybrid density functional model MPWB1K using the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. The single point energy calculations were refined further using the G2(MP2) method. Two conformers relatively close in energy were identified for ETFA; both are likely to be important in the temperature range of our study. The existence of transition states on the corresponding potential energy surface was ascertained by performing intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations. The rate constant at 298 K calculated theoretically using canonical transition state theory was found to be in good agreement with experimentally measured values. Our calculations suggest that H abstraction from the -CH2 group is kinetically and thermodynamically more favorable than abstraction from the -CH3 group. The atmospheric lifetime of ETFA with Cl atoms was determined to be 1.98 years. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first determination of the rate coefficients for the gas-phase reaction of chlorine atoms in ETFA.

Abstract
A theoretical study on the mechanism of the thermal decomposition of CF(3)C(O)OCH(2)O radical is presented for the first time. Geometry optimization and frequency calculations were performed at the MPWB1K/6-31 + G(d, p) level of theory and energetic information further refined by calculating the energy of the species using G2(MP2) theory. Three plausible decomposition pathways including α-ester rearrangement, reaction with O(2) and thermal decomposition (C-O bond scission) were considered in detail. Our results reveal that reaction with O(2) is the dominant path for the decomposition of CF(3)C(O)OCH(2)O radical in the atmosphere, involving the lowest energy barrier, which is in accord with experimental findings. Our theoretical results also suggest that α-ester rearrangement leading to the formation of trifluoroacetic acid TFA makes a negligible contribution to decomposition of the title alkoxy radical. The thermal rate constants for the above decomposition pathways were evaluated using canonical transition state theory (CTST) at 298 K.

Abstract
A theoretical study on the mechanism and kinetics of the gas phase reactions of CF3CHFCF2OCH2CF3 (HFE-449mec-f) with the OH radicals and Cl atom have been performed using meta-hybrid modern density functional M06-2X using 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. Two conformers have been identified for CF3CHFCF2OCH2CF3 and the most stable one is considered for detailed study. Reaction profiles for OH-initiated hydrogen abstraction are modeled including the formation of pre-reactive and post-reactive complexes at entrance and exit channels. Our calculations reveal that hydrogen abstraction from the CH2 group is thermodynamically and kinetically more facile than that from the CHF group. Using group-balanced isodesmic reactions, the standard enthalpies of formation for HFE-449mecf and radicals generated by hydrogen abstraction, are also reported. The calculated bond dissociation energies for CH bonds are in good agreement with experimental results. The rate constants of the two reactions are determined for the first time in a wide temperature range of 250-450K. The calculated rate constant values are found to be 9.10×10(-15) and 4.77×10(-17)cm(3)molecule(-1)s(-1) for reactions with OH radicals and Cl atom, respectively. At 298K, the total calculated rate coefficient for reactions with OH radical is in good agreement with the experimental results. The atmospheric life time of HFE-449mec-f is estimated to be 0.287 years.
