Gas-phase infrared spectrum of the protonated water dimer

The protonated water dimer is a prototypical system for the study of proton transfer in aqueous solution. We report infrared photodissociation spectra of cooled H+(H2O)2 [and D+(D2O2] ions, measured between 620 and 1900 wave numbers (cm-1). The experiment directly probes the shared proton region of the potential energy surface and reveals three strong bands below 1600 cm-1 and one at 1740 cm-1 (for H5O2+). From a comparison to multidimensional quantum calculations, the three lower energy bands were assigned to stretching and bending fundamentals involving the O...H+...O moiety, and the highest energy band was assigned to a terminal water bend. These results highlight the importance of intermode coupling in shared proton systems.     

Kinetic isotope effects for the reactions of muonic helium and muonium with H2

The neutral muonic helium atom may be regarded as the heaviest isotope of the hydrogen atom, with a mass of ~4.1 atomic mass units ((4.1)H), because the negative muon almost perfectly screens one proton charge. We report the reaction rate of (4.1)H with (1)H(2) to produce (4.1)H(1)H + (1)H at 295 to 500 kelvin. The experimental rate constants are compared with the predictions of accurate quantum-mechanical dynamics calculations carried out on an accurate Born-Huang potential energy surface and with previously measured rate constants of (0.11)H (where (0.11)H is shorthand for muonium). Kinetic isotope effects can be compared for the unprecedentedly large mass ratio of 36. The agreement with accurate quantum dynamics is quantitative at 500 kelvin, and variational transition-state theory is used to interpret the extremely low (large inverse) kinetic isotope effects in the 10(-4) to 10(-2) range.     

A new look at proton transfer dynamics along the hydrogen bonds in amides and peptides

Vibrational spectroscopy with inelastic neutron scattering can provide spectra that are more detailed and easier to interpret than optical spectra. The spectral intensity depends on energy transfer and kinetic momentum transfer, allowing determination of the potential function. Experiments reveal that the proton involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding in N-methylacetamide and polyglycine I vibrates almost independently. An ionic representation (N(delta-)...H(+)...O(delta-)) of the hydrogen bond is more realistic than the normally accepted covalent model (NH...O). For polyglycine I, the proton experiences a local, symmetric double-minimum potential arising from dynamic exchange between the amide-like (CONH) and imidol-like (HOCN) forms of the peptide unit.

运用密度泛函理论方法,在B3LYP/6-311++G**水平上对4-氨基-1,2,4-三唑阳离子(AT)和2,4,6-三硝基苯酚阴离子(PA)形成的氢键二聚体进行理论计算研究.计算得到4种稳定结构的氢键复合物及最稳定异构体D1的振动频率、电子吸收光谱与热力学性质.结果表明,氢键复合物中存在较强的N—H…O与C—H…O红移氢键.经过基组重叠误差和零点振动能校正后,D1的氢键相互作用能为-30.71kJ/mol.热力学计算显示,在298.15K和标准状态下,D1气态氢键复合物分子的形成过程是放热、熵减小的非自发过程,但在低温下能自发进行.D1分子的标准摩尔生成焓和标准摩尔生成自由能分别为98.7,474.4kJ/mol.     

离子液体[BMIM]Cl与H5PV2Mo10O40双效催化降解麦草碱木质素的研究

采用常规合成法制备了杂多酸H₅PV₂Mo₁₀O₄₀,并通过FT-IR、XRD、SEM对其进行表征。研究了[BMIM]Cl单催化与{H₅PV₂Mo₁₀O₄₀+[BMIM]Cl}双效催化体系中,反应时间、温度以及H₅PV₂Mo₁₀O₄₀用量对麦草碱木质素降解的影响,并初步探讨了木质素的降解机理。结果表明:H₅PV₂Mo₁₀O₄₀中P、V、Mo相对原子质量满足1:2:10关系,并具有典型的Keggin结构;木质素降解反应中,仅离子液体[BMIM]Cl降解木质素的最佳条件为140 ℃下反应3 h,降解后固体产物中总羟基由3.49 mol/kg增加到10.92 mol/kg,液体产物中有香草醛与丁香醛生成,分别占2.00%和2.15%;{H₅PV₂Mo₁₀O₄₀+[BMIM]Cl}双效催化体系中,最佳反应条件为加入20%的H₅PV₂Mo₁₀O₄₀ 120 ℃下反应6 h,降解后固体产物中总羟基由3.49 mol/kg增加到14.12 mol/kg,摩尔质量由7.691 kg/mol降为1.589 kg/mol;液体产物中无丁香醛生成,香草醛占6.97%。初步认为:当单独[BMIM]Cl催化木质素时,H+首先进攻木质素中β-O-4键上的氧原子,正电荷转移到β位,然后水分子中氧原子向带有正电荷的β位进攻,从而催化剂的H+被消除,最后实现了β-O-4键水解断裂,生成愈创木酚,进而侧链发生氧化生成香草醛与丁香醛;当添加H₅PV₂Mo₁₀O₄₀时,[PV₂Mo₁₀O₄₀]5-中的VO₂+由V(V)→V(IV),故使模型化合物得以单电子的氧化,使木质素脱甲氧基,由紫丁香基木质素转变成愈创木基木质素,液体产物中无丁香醛生成,且香草醛质量分数升高。      

First-principles theory for the H + H2O, D2O reactions

A full quantum dynamical study of the reactions of a hydrogen atom with water, on an accurate ab initio potential energy surface, is reported. The theoretical results are compared with available experimental data for the exchange and abstraction reactions in H + D2O and H + H2O. Clear agreement between theory and experiment is revealed for available thermal rate coefficients and the effects of vibrational excitation of the reactants. The excellent agreement between experiment and theory on integral cross sections for the exchange reaction is unprecedented beyond atom-diatom reactions. However, the experimental cross sections for abstraction are larger than the theoretical values by more than a factor of 10. Further experiments are required to resolve this.     

An Accurate Quantum Monte Carlo Calculation of the Barrier Height for the Reaction H + H2 rarr H2 + H

An improved quantum Monte Carlo method has been used to calculate the classical barrier height for the hydrogen exchange reaction H + H(2) --> H(2) + H with accuracies greater than previously attained. The method is exact in that, except for the easily estimated Monte Carlo statistical or sampling error, it requires no mathematical approximations or physical approximations beyond those of the Schr?dinger equation. The minimum in the barrier, occurring for the collinear nuclear configuration with the protons separated by 1.757 bohrs, was found to be 9.61 +/- 0.01 kilocalories per mole above H + H(2).     

Protonated Ozone: Experimental Detection of O3H+ and Evaluation of the Proton Affinity of Ozone

The elusive protonated ozone ion (O(3)H(+)) has been long postulated as a reactive intermediate but never experimentally observed. This ion has been detected here in mass spectrometric experiments with the use of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance. In these experiments, ozone (O(3)) was protonated by strong acids-for example, H(3)(+), KrH(+), XeH(+), and CH(5)(+). The hitherto experimentally unknown proton affinity of O(3) was evaluated by a "bracketing" technique and determined to be 148 -/+ 3 kilocalories mole(-1) at 298 kelvin, in excellent agreement with a value determined in a recent theoretical study of the O(3)/O(3)H(+) system, which was 148 kilocalories mole(-1) at zero temperature ( approximately 149.5 kilocalories mole(-1) at 298 kelvin).     

Theoretical studies of the energetics and dynamics of chemical reactions

Computational studies of basic chemical processes not only provide numbers for comparison with experiment or for use in modeling complex chemical phenomena such as combustion, but also provide insight into the fundamental factors that govern molecular structure and change which cannot be obtained from experiment alone. We summarize the results of three case studies, on HCO, OH + H(2), and O + C(2)H(2), which illustrate the range of problems that can be addressed by using modern theoretical techniques. In all cases, the potential energy surfaces were characterized by using ab initio electronic structure methods. Collisions between molecules leading to reaction or energy transer were described with quantum dynamical methods (HCO), classical trajectory techniques (HCO and OH + H(2)), and statistical methods (HCO, OH + H(2), and O + C(2)H(2)). We can anticipate dramatic increases in the scope of this work as new generations of computers are introduced and as new chemistry software is developed to exploit these computers.     

The "Ozone Deficit" Problem: O2(X, v ge 26) + O(3P) from 226-nm Ozone Photodissociation

Highly vibrationally excited O(2)(X(3)sigmag(-), v >/= 26) has been observed from the photodissociation of ozone (O(3)), and the quantum yield for this reaction has been determined for excitation at 226 nanometers. This observation may help to address the "ozone deficit" problem, or why the previously predicted stratospheric O(3) concentration is less than that observed. Recent kinetic studies have suggested that O(2)(X(3)sigmag(-), v >/= 26) can react rapidly with O(2) to form O(3) + O and have led to speculation that, if produced in the photodissociation of O(3), this species might be involved in resolving the discrepancy. The sequence O(3) + hv --> O(2)(X(3)sigmag(-), v >/= 26) + O; O(2)(X(3)sigmag(-), v >/= 26) + O(2) --> O(3) + O (where hv is a photon) would be an autocatalytic mechanism for production of odd oxygen. A two-dimensional atmospheric model has been used to evaluate the importance of this new mechanism. The new mechanism can completely account for the tropical O(3) deficit at an altitude of 43 kilometers, but it does not completely account for the deficit at higher altitudes. The mechanism also provides for isotopic fractionation and may contribute to an explanation for the anomalously high concentration of heavy O(3) in the stratosphere.     

Cytidylic acid "a" trihydrate: structure and conformation

Cytidylic acid "a" (cytidine 2'-monophosphate) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with two molecules of cytidine monophosphate (C(9)H(14)O(8)N(3)P) and six molecules of water in the unit cell. X-ray analysis of this crystal shows that in both molecules, the base is in the anti conformation, the ribose ring is C(2')-endo puckered, and the hydroxyl O(5') is gauche-gauche. The two molecules are linked by a short hydrogen bond through the phosphate oxygens.

用量子化学从头算方法对H2O和H2S与卤素分子(X—Y)形成的卤键O/S…X—Y进行了理论研究.计算结果表明,卤键的形成导致X—Y键长增大与伸缩振动频率红移;电子密度拓扑(AIM)分析表明,复合物中的卤键为闭壳层相互作用;自然键轨道(NBO)分析表明,卤键O/S…X—Y形成时,强的分子间超共轭n(O/S)→σ*(X—Y)引起的电荷转移是X—Y键伸缩振动频率红移的重要原因.     

Water-mediated proton hopping on an iron oxide surface

The diffusion of hydrogen atoms across solid oxide surfaces is often assumed to be accelerated by the presence of water molecules. Here we present a high-resolution, high-speed scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of the diffusion of H atoms on an FeO thin film. STM movies directly reveal a water-mediated hydrogen diffusion mechanism on the oxide surface at temperatures between 100 and 300 kelvin. Density functional theory calculations and isotope-exchange experiments confirm the STM observations, and a proton-transfer mechanism that proceeds via an H(3)O(+)-like transition state is revealed. This mechanism differs from that observed previously for rutile TiO(2)(110), where water dissociation is a key step in proton diffusion.

Biogenic methane, hydrogen escape, and the irreversible oxidation of early Earth

The low O2 content of the Archean atmosphere implies that methane should have been present at levels approximately 10(2) to 10(3) parts per million volume (ppmv) (compared with 1.7 ppmv today) given a plausible biogenic source. CH4 is favored as the greenhouse gas that countered the lower luminosity of the early Sun. But abundant CH4 implies that hydrogen escapes to space (upward arrow space) orders of magnitude faster than today. Such reductant loss oxidizes the Earth. Photosynthesis splits water into O2 and H, and methanogenesis transfers the H into CH4. Hydrogen escape after CH4 photolysis, therefore, causes a net gain of oxygen [CO2 + 2H2O --> CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + O2 + 4H(upward arrow space)]. Expected irreversible oxidation (approximately 10(12) to 10(13) moles oxygen per year) may help explain how Earth's surface environment became irreversibly oxidized.     

Addition radicals formed by hydroxyl radical bombardment of uracil

Direct addition of O-H radicals at room temperature to the carbon No.5 of the uracil ring has been proved by measurement of the proton hyperfine structure in the electron spin resonance of the resulting uracil + O-H radicals. Upon addition of the OH, the H originally bound to carbon No. 5 shifts to No. 6, thus forming a methylene group at carbon No. 6, with the two protons having equivalent coupling of 28 gauss. The spin density on carbon No. 5 is O.64. The radicals were produced when powdered samples of uracil were subjected to a low-velocity beam of O-H radicals coming from either hydrogen peroxide or water vapor under reduced pressure and subjected to an electric discharge.     

蔗糖和锌对水稻根系生长的调节(英文)

[目的]研究锌和蔗糖与水稻根系生长发育的关系。[方法]以水稻中花11号为试验材料,分析了不同浓度的锌、蔗糖、甘露醇、锌+蔗糖和锌+甘露醇处理条件下水稻根系生长、活性氧产生和根系质子分泌的变化。[结果]在1~3mmol/L范围内随着锌浓度的增加,水稻根系总长度、数量及活性氧的产生均增加,但质子分泌水平降低。除了株高外,初生根长、初生根侧根长/数、不定根长/数和不定根侧根长/数都不同程度的受到蔗糖浓度的影响,高浓度蔗糖诱导活性氧增加,无糖或高浓度蔗糖都导致根系质子分泌能力降低。但是,在相同浓度的蔗糖处理条件下锌诱导这些指标的变化与无锌处理的明显不同。5%蔗糖和5%甘露醇对根系生长的调节有显著差异,说明该调节作用是由蔗糖信号而非渗透势引起的。[结论]该研究表明蔗糖和锌对水稻根系的生长都具有重要的调节作用。     

Experimental and theoretical differential cross sections for a four-atom reaction: HD + OH → H₂O + D

Quantum dynamical theories have progressed to the stage in which state-to-state differential cross sections can now be routinely computed with high accuracy for three-atom systems since the first such calculation was carried out more than 30 years ago for the H + H(2) system. For reactions beyond three atoms, however, highly accurate quantum dynamical calculations of differential cross sections have not been feasible. We have recently developed a quantum wave packet method to compute full-dimensional differential cross sections for four-atom reactions. Here, we report benchmark calculations carried out for the prototypical HD + OH → H(2)O + D reaction on an accurate potential energy surface that yield differential cross sections in excellent agreement with those from a high-resolution, crossed-molecular beam experiment.     

Sequential proton transfer through water bridges in acid-base reactions

The proton transfer mechanism between aqueous Br?nsted acids and bases, forming an encounter pair, has been studied in real time with ultrafast infrared spectroscopy. The transient intermediacy of a hydrated proton, formed by ultrafast dissociation from an optically triggered photoacid proton donor ROH, is implicated by the appearance of an infrared absorption marker band before protonation of the base, B-. Thus, proton exchange between an acid and a base in aqueous solution is shown to proceed by a sequential, von Grotthuss-type, proton-hopping mechanism through water bridges. The spectra suggest a hydronium cation H3O+ structure for the intermediate, stabilized in the Eigen configuration in the ionic complex RO-...H3O+...B-.
