Muons in Chemistry: Remarkable H Atom Isotopic Mass Effects
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The study of chemical reaction rates or “chemical kinetics” is fundamental to the study of chemistry itself and is intimately connected as well to life’s biochemical and biological processes. Most chemical reactions proceed by a complex mechanism that involves a series of elementary steps and it is often the role of chemical kinetics studies to identify these steps, with one typically expected to be rate determining.

متن کاملDetermination of isotopic ratio of boron in boric acid using laser mass spectrometry.
A reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (RTOFMS) with a laser ablation ion source was used to determine the isotopic ratio of 10B/11B present in boric acid solutions, using graphite as the matrix. The atom % 10B values obtained were within +/-1% of the actual ones. The determination of the boron isotopic ratio using this method is, in comparison to other methods, faster, less expensive an...
متن کاملPotential energy surfaces and quasiclassical trajectory study of the O + H2(+)→ OH(+) + H, OH + H(+) proton and hydrogen atom transfer reactions and isotopic variants (D2(+), HD(+)).
The rate constants (k; T: 200-900 K) and cross-sections (σ; Ecol: 0.010-0.50 eV) of the O + H2(+)→ OH(+) + H (1), OH + H(+) (2) reactions, which occur on the ground (1(2)A'') and first excited (1(2)A') potential energy surfaces (PESs), respectively, were investigated for the first time, considering also the rate constants for D2(+) and HD(+). Ab initio multireference configuration interaction c...
متن کاملExtensive H-atom abstraction from benzoate by OH-radicals at the air-water interface.
Much is known about OH-radical chemistry in the gas-phase and bulk water. Important atmospheric and biological processes, however, involve little investigated OH-radical reactions at aqueous interfaces with hydrophobic media. Here, we report the online mass-specific identification of the products and intermediates generated on the surface of aqueous (H2O, D2O) benzoate-h5 and -d5 microjets by ∼...
متن کاملMemory effects in compound-specific D/H analysis by gas chromatography/pyrolysis/isotope-ratio mass spectrometry.
Compound-specific analyses of lipid D/H ratios often encounter ranges of 300 per thousand or more, and experiments using D-enriched water to study fractionations often extend the range up to 1000 per thousand. Here we show that for such large dynamic ranges in D/H ratio, isotopic "memory" between adjacent peaks can be significant. Memory effects have not been previously reported for GC/P/IRMS s...
