Abstract:
Binding energies of nitrosamine compounds, N-nitrosamine (NA), N-methyl-N-nitrososamine (NMA), N-ethyl-N-nitrososamine (NEA), N,N-dimethyl-N-nitrosoamine (NDMA), N-ethyl-N-methyl-N-nitrosoamine (NEMA) and N,N-diethyl-N-nitrosoamine (NDEA) on the H-ZSM-5 zeolite were obtained using the ONIOM(B3LYP/6-31G(d):AM1) approach. Based on amino and imino isomers of nitrosamines, there are two adsorption configurations on the H-ZSM-5 for NA (as NA_a and NA_i), NMA (as NMA_a and NMA_i) and NEA (as NEA_a and NEA_i). The relative binding energies of nitrosamines are in order: NA_a > NMA_a approximately NEA_a > NA_i > NMA_i approximately NEA_i > NEMA approximately NDEA > NDMA. The order of adsorption selectivity for nitrosamines of the H-ZSM-5 is NA_a approximately NA_i >> NMA_a approximately NEA_a > NDMA approximately NMA_i approximately NEMA > NDEA approximately NEA_i. The selective recognition of the NA by the H-ZSM-5 was obviously found.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
