Unimolecular reaction of acetone oxide and its reaction with water in the atmosphere
Abstract
Criegee intermediates (i.e., carbonyl oxides with two radical sites) are known to be important atmospheric reagents; however, our knowledge of their reaction kinetics is still limited. Although experimental methods have been developed to directly measure the reaction rate constants of stabilized Criegee intermediates, the experimental results cover limited temperature ranges and do not completely agree well with one another. Here we investigate the unimolecular reaction of acetone oxide [(CH3)2COO] and its bimolecular reaction with H2O to obtain rate constants with quantitative accuracy comparable to experimental accuracy. We do this by using CCSDT(Q)/CBS//CCSD(T)-F12a/DZ-F12 benchmark results to select and validate exchange-correlation functionals, which are then used for direct dynamics calculations by variational transition state theory with small-curvature tunneling and torsional and high-frequency anharmonicity. We find that tunneling is very significant in the unimolecular reaction of (CH3)2COO and its bimolecular reaction with H2O. We show that the atmospheric lifetimes of (CH3)2COO depend on temperature and that the unimolecular reaction of (CH3)2COO is the dominant decay mode above 240 K, while the (CH3)2COO + SO2reaction can compete with the corresponding unimolecular reaction below 240 K when the SO2 concentration is 9 × 1010molecules per cubic centimeter. Here, we also find that experimental results maymore »

Not only does the present investigation provide insights into the decay of (CH3)2COO in the atmosphere, but it also provides an illustration of how to use theoretical methods to predict quantitative rate constants of medium-sized Criegee intermediates.},
