Abstract:
The present work employs the CCSD(T)/CBS//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory to investigate the effect of a water monomer (WM) and dimer (WD) on the oxidation of nitrous acid (HONO) by the Criegee intermediate (CH2OO). The present work suggests that similar to an uncatalyzed path, a water catalyzed reaction can also proceed via two paths, i.e., the oxygen atom transfer (OAT) and the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) path. In addition, here also, the HAT path dominates over the OAT path. Besides, our study suggests that the rate of the water catalyzed reaction of the Criegee intermediate and HONO can be more than an order of magnitude higher than that of the corresponding uncatalyzed reaction.

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...

The formation of hydrates is a reversible reaction. Hydrate formation is influenced by steric and electronic factors accompanying the alkyl substituents on the carbonyl group: The rate of hydrate formation increases with a decrease in the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Hence,...
