Kinetics of nitric oxide desorption from carbonaceous surfaces

چکیده
We carried out a molecular modeling study of an important reaction in the combustion of nitrogen-containing chars, the evolution of nitric oxide, (CNO)!NO+(C*). Density functional theory at the B3LYP level was used to provide potential energy surface information and transition state theory was used to provide temperature dependant rate constants. Desorption of NO from nitrogen-containing carbonaceous surfaces is modeled from a pyridine-N-oxide model. The fitted Arrhenius expression for the NO desorption process is k(T) = 8.84 10 exp[ 42132 K/T] (s ). We found that the rate constants to release CO are slightly larger than rate constants to release NO from the carbonaceous surface. The NO desorption activation energy is 10 kcal/mol lower than that of the CO desorption. D 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Enantiospecific desorption of R- and S-propylene oxide from D- or L-lysine modified Cu(100) surfaces.
The enantiospecific desorption kinetics of R- and S-propylene oxide (PO) from a Cu(100) surface modified by enantiomerically pure D- or L-lysine have been studied using temperature programmed desorption. These experiments have used R- or S-PO as the chiral probe for study of enantiospecific adsorption on Cu(100) surfaces modified with D- or L-lysine. This chiral probe/modifier/Cu system manifes...

متن کاملThe effect of surface chemical functional groups on the adsorption and desorption of a polar molecule, acetone, from a model carbonaceous surface, graphite
The role of surface chemical heterogeneity in adsorption on a model carbonaceous surface (highly oriented pyrolitic graphite, HOPG) was investigated by temperature programmed desorption of acetone, a representative polar volatile organic compound. It was observed that oxygen-containing functional groups exist on air cleaved HOPG. The presence of surface functional groups reduces the binding ene...

The creation or preparation of surfaces with chiral structures offers opportunities for enantioselective heterogeneous chemical processing such as catalysis or adsorption. Although such heterogeneous processes may have advantages over their homogeneous counterparts, the development of enantioselective surfaces lags far behind developments in enantioselective homogeneous chemistry. One approach ...
