Abstract:

The hydrogen abstraction reaction by OH radical from CH2BrCH2Br (R1) and CH₃CHBr2 (R2) is investigated theoretically by semi-classical transition state theory. The stationary points for both reactions are located by using ωB97X-D and KMLYP density functional methods along with cc-pVTZ basis. Single-point energy calculations are performed at the QCISD(T) and CCSD(T) levels of theory with different basis sets. The results show that the activation energies are very sensitive to effects of electron correlation and basis set. In order to correct basis set effects on the calculated energetic, a correction factor (CF) is determined from the energy difference between the MP2/cc-pVTZ and MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ levels. xij vibrational anharmonicity coefficients, needed for semi-classical transition state theory, are calculated at the KMLYP/cc-pVTZ level of theory. Thermal rate coefficients are computed over the temperature range from 200 to 3000 K and they are shown to be in accordance with available experimental data. The computed rate constants for the reactions R1 and R2 are fitted to the equation k(T)=A T^n exp[-E(T+T_0 )/(T^2+ T_0^2 ) ].

Reaction class transition state theory: Hydrogen abstraction reactions by hydrogen atoms as test cases

We present a new method called Reaction Class Transition State Theory ~RC-TST! for estimating thermal rate constants of a large number of reactions in a class. This method is based on the transition state theory framework within the reaction class approach. Thermal rate constants of a given reaction in a class relative to those of its principal reaction can be efficiently predicted from only it...

Degradation of 1,2-dibromoethane by Mycobacterium sp. strain GP1.

The newly isolated bacterial strain GP1 can utilize 1, 2-dibromoethane as the sole carbon and energy source. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the organism was identified as a member of the subgroup which contains the fast-growing mycobacteria. The first step in 1,2-dibromoethane metabolism is catalyzed by a hydrolytic haloalkane dehalogenase. The resulting 2-bromoethanol is rapi...
