Chemical kinetic studies of the β-scission reaction class of hydroperoxyl alkyl hydroperoxyl radicals (•P(OOH)2) from normal-alkyl cyclohexanes are carried out systematically through high-level ab initio calculations. Geometry optimizations and frequency calculations for all species involved in the reactions are performed at the B3LYP/CBSB7 level of theory. Electronic single-point energy calculations are calculated at the CBS-QB3 level of theory. Rate constants for the reactions of β-scission, in the temperature range of 500–1500 K and the pressure range of 0.01–100 atm, are calculated using transition state theory (TST) and Rice-Ramsberger-Kassel-Marcus/Master-Equation (RRKM/ME) theory taking asymmetric Eckart tunneling corrections and the one-dimensional hindered rotor approximation into consideration. The rate rules are obtained by averaging the rate constants of the representative reactions of this class. These rate rules can greatly assist in constructing more accurate low-temperature combustion mechanisms for normal-alkyl cyclohexanes. Full article

The concerted elimination reaction class of peroxyl-hydroperoxyl alkyl radicals (•OOQOOH) plays a crucial role in the low-temperature combustion of normal-alkyl cyclohexanes. The generation of the relatively unreactive HO2 radicals in this reaction is one of the factors leading to the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior, which hinders the low-temperature oxidation of normal-alkyl cyclohexanes. In this study, 44 reactions are selected and divided into 4 different subclasses according to the nature of the carbon atom where the H atom is eliminated and the reaction center position. Utilizing the CBS-QB3 method, we compute the energy barriers for the concerted elimination reactions of peroxyl-hydroperoxyl alkyl radicals. Following this, we assess both the high-pressure limit and pressure-dependent rate constants for all reactions by applying TST and RRKM/ME theory. These calculations allow for the development of rate rules, which come to fruition through an averaging process involving the rate constants of representative reactions within each subclass. Our work provides accurate rate constants and rate rules for this reaction class, which can aid in constructing more accurate combustion mechanisms for normal-alkyl cyclohexanes. Full article

As a starting channel, the H-intermigration reaction of alkylperoxy radicals (ROO radicals) that yields hydroperoxyl alkyl radicals (QOOH radicals) determines the low-temperature chemistry of alkanes. In this work, this type of reaction was investigated for typical cyclic alkanes, which are important fuel components and soot precursors, using theoretical ab initio methods. First, all the molecular geometries and vibrational frequencies were computed using the density functional theory method and the single point energies were refined using the post-Hartree fork method (M062X/6-311G(d,p)//DLPNO-CCSD(T)/CBS). Then, high-pressure limit rate constants were evaluated with tight transition state theory, with which tunneling effects were considered using the Eckart model and low-frequency torsion modes were modeled as hindered rotors. Pressure-dependent rate constants were also calculated for typical reaction channels. Rate expressions in the Arrhenius form for 91 reactions are proposed. All reactions were categorized into seven reaction types and the rate rule for each reaction type was estimated with uncertainty factors of three to six. These rules can be potentially used in the development of low-temperature kinetic mechanisms for cycloalkanes. A comparison between different reaction types was also performed and the favorable channels are discussed. Full article

Honokiol is a natural bisphenol neolignan present in the bark of Magnolia officinalis, whose extracts have been employed in oriental medicine to treat several disorders, showing a variety of biological properties, including antitumor activity, potentially related to radical scavenging. Six bisphenol neolignans with structural motifs related to the natural bioactive honokiol were synthesized. Their chain-breaking antioxidant activity was evaluated in the presence of peroxyl (ROO•) and hydroperoxyl (HOO•) radicals by both experimental and computational methods. Depending on the number and position of the hydroxyl and alkyl groups present on the molecules, these derivatives are more or less effective than the reference natural compound. The rate constant of the reaction with ROO• radicals for compound 7 is two orders of magnitude greater than that of honokiol. Moreover, for compounds displaying quinonic oxidized forms, we demonstrate that the addition of 1,4 cyclohexadiene, able to generate HOO• radicals, restores their antioxidant activity, because of the reducing capability of the HOO• radicals. The antioxidant activity of the oxidized compounds in combination with 1,4-cyclohexadiene is, in some cases, greater than that found for the starting compounds towards the peroxyl radicals. This synergy can be applied to maximize the performances of these new bisphenol neolignans. Full article
