Radical Yield

Phenylamine has been oxidized by radiolytically generated hydroxyl and sulfate radicals, the ensuing intermediates and their reactions have been studied by pulse radiolysis and product analysis in the absence and presence of oxidants such as Fe(CN)63- and O2. Upon OH radical attack, hydroxycyclohexadienyl-type radicals are mainly formed while Η-abstraction reactions can be neglected. In the presence of Fe(CN)63- these radicals are for the most part oxidized to the corresponding tyrosines (80%), except for the ipso-OH-adduct radicals (≈ 20%). It is concluded that ˙OH-addition is almost random, but with a slight avoidance of the metaposition relative to the ortho-, para- and ipso-positions. Oxygen adds reversibly to the OH-adduct radicals (kf = 1.8 × 108 dm3 mol-1 s-1, kr = 5.4 × 104 s-1). In this case, tyrosine formation occurs by HO2˙-elimination. However, due to side reactions, tyrosine formation only reaches 52% of the OH radical yield. The tyrosine yield drops to 10% in the absence of an oxidant.Upon SO4˙⁻-attack, decarboxylation becomes a major process (33% of SO4˙⁻) alongside the production of tyrosines (43%). Here, with Fe(CN)63- as the oxidant the formation of p-Tyr (18.5%) and m-Tyr (16.5%) is preferred over o-Tyr formation (8.5%). It is believed that in analogy to other systems a radical cation is formed immediately upon SO4˙⁻-attack which either reacts with water under the formation of hydroxycyclohexadienyl-type (“OH-adduct”) radicals, or decarboxylates after intramolecular electron transfer. The radical cation can also arise indirectly through H+-catalysed water elimination from the ˙OH-adduct radicals. At pH 2 and a dose rate of 0.0046 Gy s-1 CO2 formation matches the OH radical yield when ˙OH is the attacking radical. Below pH 2, G(CO2) decreases with falling pH. This indicates the occurrence of another, unimolecular, pathway under these conditions competing effectively with decarboxylation. This appears to be a relatively slow deprotonation reaction of the carboxylprotonated phenylalanine radical cation which gives rise to the benzyl-type radical.

<p>Dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) are widely distributed in atmospheric aerosols and cloud droplets and are mainly formed by the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). For example, glutaric acid and adipic acid are two kinds of the DCAs that can be oxidized by hydroxyl radical (‧OH) reactions in the aqueous phase of aerosols and droplets. In the present study, the temperature- and pH-dependent rate constants of the aqueous OH radical reactions of the two DCAs were investigated by a laser flash photolysis-long path absorption setup using the competition kinetics method. Based on speciation calculations, the OH radical reaction rate constants of the fully protonated (H<sub>2</sub>A), deprotonated (HA<sup>-</sup>) and fully deprotonated (A<sup>2-</sup>) forms of the two DCAs were determined. The following Arrhenius expressions for the T-dependency of the OH radical reaction of glutaric acid, k(T, H<sub>2</sub>A) = (3.9 ± 0.1) × 10<sup>10</sup> × exp[(-1270 ± 200 K)/T], k(T, HA<sup>-</sup>) = (2.3 ± 0.1) × 10<sup>11</sup> × exp[(-1660 ± 190 K)/T], k(T, A<sup>2-</sup>) = (1.4 ± 0.1) × 10<sup>11</sup> × exp[(-1400 ± 170 K)/T] and adipic acid, k(T, H<sub>2</sub>A) = (7.5 ± 0.2) × 10<sup>10</sup> × exp[(-1210 ± 170 K)/T], k(T, HA<sup>-</sup>) = (9.5 ± 0.3) × 10<sup>10</sup> × exp[(-1200 ± 200 K)/T], k(T, A<sup>2-</sup>) = (8.7 ± 0.2) × 10<sup>10</sup> × exp[(-1100 ± 170 K)/T] (in unit of L mol<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>) were derived.</p><p>The energy barriers of the H-atom abstractions were simulated by the Density Functional Theory calculations run with the GAUSSIAN package using the M06-2X method and the basis set m062x/6-311++g(3df,2p). The results showed that the energy barriers were lower at the C<sub>β</sub>-atoms and are higher at the C<sub>α</sub>-atoms of the two DCAs, clearly suggesting that the H-atom abstractions occurred predominately at the C<sub>β</sub>-atoms. In addition, the ionizations can enhance the electrostatic effects of the carboxyl groups, significantly reducing the energy barriers, leading to the order of OH radical reactivity as  <  < . This study intends to better characterize the losing processes of glutaric acid and adipic acid in atmospheres.</p>
