Sulfonation of chlorobenzene and the selectivity relation ; Bromine addition to cyclohexene in dichloromethane ; Thorpe's synthesis of the caged acid, 4-methyltricyclo[1.1.0.0[superscript 2-4]] butane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid

Gurney, John A. 02 August 1962 (has links)
Aromatic sulfonation and some substitution reactions of chlorobenzene show deviations in the selectivity relation. A determination of chlorobenzene sulfonation provided the following rate ratio relative to benzene and partial rate factors: 1.0, [---] of 0.064 , mf 1.7 and pf 4. 2. Our work, Olah's nitration, Ferguson's bromination and Stock's chlorination define a new relation that can be express by adding an entropy term (A) to the selectivity relation. We determined the rate of bromine-cyclohexene addition in dichloro-methane at 0° to provide a basis for a systematic variation of solvents at low temperature. An unusual zero-order reaction was encountered. The reaction was light catalyzed and related to hydrogen bromide concentration. The reaction was independent of bromine, cyclohexene, hydroperoxide and oxygen concentration. The reaction order depended on a steady-state concentration of bromonium ion (Br+). We also observed a novel photo effect with mixtures of oxygen, nitrogen and air. The synthesis of Thorpe's caged triacid, 4-methyltricyclo[1.1.0.02-4] butane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid has never been repeated or verified. A key intermediate, 1,1,1-ethanetriacetic,was readily converted to 1,1,1-ethanetriacetyl bromide. This last compound could only be a-brominated in the presence of a trace of ether. This successful a-bromination represents an important breakthrough toward getting Thorpe's caged acid.

Internal pressure's role in the selectivity of the bromine radical

Hulvey, Glenn A. 10 June 2009 (has links)
The results of our studies demonstrate a link between selectivity in free radical brominations and the internal pressure of solvent. The study encompassed l8 solvents and/or mixtures over which the rate constant ratio for SH2 ring opening of cyclopropylbenzene (kC) vs hydrogen abstraction from toluene (kH) by bromine atom was found to vary by nearly a factor of twenty as a function of solvent. The observed rate constant ratios correlate with the cohesive energy density of the solvent, which is approximately equal to the internal pressure (kC/kH is found to increase with increasing solvent pressure) for the solvents used in this study. A similar competition pitting cyclopropylbenzene against p-chlorotoluene shows the same solvent effect. It is suggested that the observed variation in selectivity "with solvent pressure occurs because the volume of activation with kC is more negative than for kH by about 20 cm3/mol. / Master of Science

Bromine and chlorine chemistry in the Arctic boundary layer

Liao, Jin 14 November 2011 (has links)
Halogen chemistry plays an important role in spring time ozone and mercury depletion events (ODEs and MDEs) and may efficiently oxidize hydrocarbons such as the important greenhouse gas methane (CH4) in the polar marine boundary layer. This thesis presents a detailed study of bromine and chlorine chemistry in the Arctic boundary layer based on measurements of bromine and chlorine containing species using chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS). The capability of CIMS to accurately measure bromine oxide (BrO) was demonstrated. The first direct measurements of hypobromous acid (HOBr) were achieved. Conditions that likely favor bromine activation (e.g. high wind speeds) was presented. To advance the understanding of bromine recycling, a time dependent model was built to simulate the bromine speciation. Unexpected high levels of molecular chlorine (Cl2) were observed at Barrow, AK, which had a large impact on methane oxidation and could contribute to ozone loss and mercury oxidation at Barrow, AK. Moreover, BrO levels observed at Summit, Greenland did not explain the under prediction of hydroxyl radical (OH). However, the enhanced OH was found to be coincident with elevated reactive gaseous mercury (RGM). In addition, airborne BrO measurements were found to be generally consistent with airborne observations of soluble bromide based on the response factors of mist chamber to the bromine species and bromine chemical mechanisms.

A temperature and pressure dependent kinetics study of the gas-phase reactions of bromine (2P3/2) and chlorine (2PJ) atoms with methylvinyl ketone

Huskey, Dow T. 10 July 2008 (has links)
A laser flash photolysis resonance fluorescence (LFP-RF) technique has been employed to study the kinetics of the reactions of methylvinyl ketone (MVK) with atomic bromine (Br) and atomic chlorine (Cl) as a function of temperature (203 755 K) and pressure (12 600 Torr) in nitrogen bath gas. The results of this study are also compared to published kinetics studies for similar reactions. Over the temperature range 200 K < T < 250 K for the reaction of Br with MVK, measured rate coefficients were pressure dependent suggesting the formation of an adduct. The adduct undergoes dissociation on the time scale of the experiments (< 0.1 s) and establishes an equilibrium between Br, MVK, and MVK Br. At temperatures above 298 K no reaction of Br with MVK was observed. Similarly, over the temperature range 405 K < T < 510 K, the reaction of Cl with MVK shows similar kinetics to that of Br and MVK suggesting an equilibrium is established. Equilibrium constants for adduct dissociation and formation are determined for the forward and reverse rate coefficients in both reactions. Second and third-law analyses are carried out to obtain information about the thermochemistry of the equilibrium reactions for Br with MVK and Cl with MVK. Adduct bond strengths of Br and Cl reactions with MVK are reported and compared to reactions with other unsaturated species. Ab initio calculations for these reactions are also presented in this study. Excellent agreement is observed between theory and experiment. Additionally, a reaction of Cl with MVK was observed over the temperature ranges 600 K < T < 760 K and 210 K < T < 365 K. At the lower temperatures, measured rate coefficients are also pressure dependent, however, the adduct remained stable. At the highest temperatures, the measured rate coefficients were pressure independent, suggesting hydrogen abstraction as the dominant reaction pathway. Energetics obtained from ab initio calculations suggest that only abstraction of the methyl hydrogen is likely to occur at a measurable rate in the temperature range investigated.

Atmospheric bromine monoxide: multi-platform observations and model calculations / Télédétection et modélisation du monoxyde de brome dans l'atmosphère

Theys, Nicolas 22 January 2010 (has links)
Bromine compounds play an important role as catalyst of the ozone destruction in both the stratosphere and troposphere. While the impact of bromine species on the chemistry of the stratosphere is known to a large extend, a number of uncertainties remain regarding the sources and sinks of atmospheric bromine as well as the chemistry and impact of bromine species on the troposphere. <p>This work describes remote-sensing observations of bromine monoxide (BrO) derived from scattered sunlight spectra in the ultraviolet region measured by ground-based multi-axis and satellite nadir viewing instruments (GOME and GOME-2). The method of differential optical absorption spectroscopy is used to retrieve the columnar concentration of BrO along the effective light path through the atmosphere. New algorithms to derive vertical columns of BrO resolved into their stratospheric and tropospheric contributions are developed and described. For the ground-based geometry a way was found to determine independently the stratospheric and tropospheric BrO columns from the diurnal variation of the BrO measurements. For the satellite observations, the contribution of the stratospheric BrO to the measured column is estimated using an innovative stratospheric BrO climatology. This climatology is based on a state-of-the-art stratospheric chemical transport model, and explicitly accounts for the impact of atmospheric dynamics and photochemistry on the stratospheric BrO distribution. As for the tropospheric fraction of the measured total BrO column, it is derived using a residual technique accounting for the effects of clouds and surface reflectivity. <p>Supported by an extensive set of correlative data, the results presented here allow to study properly the spatial and temporal evolution of atmospheric BrO at the global scale and enable to better assess the significance of BrO in the polar planetary boundary layer and free-troposphere as well as the contribution from very short-lived brominated sources gases to the stratospheric bromine budget. We also report on the first satellite detection of BrO in a volcanic plume, using GOME-2 measurements.<p><p><p><p>Les composés bromés jouent un rôle important dans la stratosphère et la troposphère en tant que catalyseurs de la destruction d’ozone. Bien que l’impact des espèces bromées sur la chimie de la stratosphère soit largement compris, il reste de nombreuses incertitudes en ce qui concerne les sources et les pertes de brome dans l’atmosphère ainsi qu’à propos de la chimie et de l’impact des espèces bromées sur la troposphère.<p>Le travail présenté dans ce manuscrit porte sur la télédétection du monoxyde de brome (BrO) à partir de spectres du rayonnement solaire diffusé, mesurés dans l’ultraviolet à partir d’instruments au sol de type multi-axis et satellitaires à visée nadir (GOME et GOME-2). La méthode de spectroscopie d’absorption optique différentielle est utilisée pour inverser la colonne intégrée de BrO le long du chemin optique effectif dans l’atmosphère. Nous avons développé de nouveaux algorithmes afin de dériver les colonnes verticales de BrO résolues en leurs contributions stratosphérique et troposphérique. Pour la géométrie d’observation au sol, un moyen a été trouvé pour déterminer indépendamment les colonnes de BrO stratosphérique et troposphérique, et cela à partir de la variation diurne des mesures de BrO. Pour les observations satellitaires, la contribution de la stratosphère à la colonne mesurée de BrO est estimée à partir d’une climatologie innovante de BrO stratosphérique. Cette climatologie est basée sur un modèle de pointe de la chimie et du transport de la stratosphère; par ailleurs, elle tient compte explicitement de l’impact de la dynamique atmosphérique et de la photochimie sur la distribution du BrO dans la stratosphère. La fraction troposphérique de la colonne totale mesurée de BrO est quant à elle dérivée à partir d’une technique résiduelle tenant compte des effets des nuages et de la réflectivité de la surface. <p>Soutenus par un vaste jeu de données corrélatives, les résultats présentés dans ce travail permettent d’étudier de manière appropriée l’évolution spatiale et temporelle du BrO atmosphérique à l’échelle globale. Ces résultats permettent également de mieux estimer l’importance du BrO dans la couche limite planétaire polaire et dans la troposphère libre ainsi que la contribution des précurseurs bromés à temps de vie court sur le budget de brome dans la stratosphère. Nous présentons également la première détection satellitaire de BrO dans un panache volcanique, à l’aide de mesures effectuées avec l’instrument GOME-2. <p> / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Desenvolvimento de procedimentos analíticos para a determinação de não-metais via moléculas diatômicas por espectrometria de absorção molecular de alta resolução com fonte contínua / Development of analytical procedures for the determination of non-metals via diatomic molecules by high-resolution continuum source molecular absorption spectrometry

Nakadi, Flávio Venâncio 21 July 2015 (has links)
A espectrometria de absorção atômica (AAS) é consolidada como uma técnica robusta, cujas aplicações estendem-se a diversos analitos e matrizes. Sua limitação encontra-se na região do UV distante (~ 190 nm), por isso ela permaneceu exclusiva à determinação de metais durante vários anos: não-metais geralmente absorvem na região de UV de vácuo. Com o advento da AAS de alta resolução com fonte contínua, houve a implementação de uma terceira dimensão (comprimento de onda) nas análises: a visualização da região espectral da linha analítica. Esta nova característica permitiu um maior número de informações espectrais, principalmente em relação às bandas estruturadas de moléculas diatômicas, o que resultou na determinação de absorção molecular (HR CS MAS). Destarte, o objetivo deste trabalho foi a elaboração de novos procedimentos analíticos para determinação de não-metais por HR CS MAS, especificadamente Br, Cl e S, com atomizador de forno de grafite. O bromo foi avaliado via CaBr em componentes plásticos de amostras eletrônicas, extraído por extração Soxhlet com tolueno, e obteve limites de detecção (LD) e quantificação (LQ) de 4,3 e 14 ng de Br, respectivamente, com Pd como modificador químico. Duas matrizes foram estudadas para a quantificação de enxofre via CS: carvão e diesel. O carvão foi injetado em HR CS MAS como uma suspensão com Triton X-100 0,04 % m v-1, e (NH4)2SO4 foi empregado como padrão de enxofre. Os LD e LQ obtidos para o método foram 0,01 e 0,05 % m m-1, respectivamente. Para o diesel, dois métodos foram estudados: (i) emulsão alcoólica com etanol 50 % v v-1, a qual apresentou LD de 0,12 g kg-1 e LQ de 0,40 g kg-1, adequados para determinação de altos teores de S em diesel; e (ii) injeção direta de diesel no sistema de HR CS MAS, cujos LD e LQ foram 3 e 9 mg kg-1, respectivamente. Ambos empregaram nanopartículas de Pd como modificador químico, das quais a análise direta de diesel obteve melhores resultados. Finalmente, um novo conceito foi investigado em HR CS MAS: o deslocamento isotópico em moléculas diatômicas. Os estados vibracionais e rotacionais presentes na transição eletrônica observada em HR CS MAS confere esta propriedade. As moléculas de AlCl e CaBr, cujos isótopos de interesse foram 35Cl e 37Cl, e 79Br e 81Br, respectivamente, foram estudadas. Os deslocamentos isotópicos observados foram de 15,6 pm para AlCl e 41,6 pm para CaBr nos comprimentos de onda selecionados, suficientes para implementação de calibração por diluição isotópica, a qual apresentou LDs de 2,5 e 64 ng, respectivamente. Amostras de água natural e mineral foram empregadas para o Cl, enquanto o Br foi determinado em amostras de PVC e folhas de tomate, as quais foram introduzidas diretamente como sólidos. A diluição isotópica corrigiu adequadamente as interferências espectrais acarretadas pelas matrizes de ambos os analitos. / Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) is a robust analytical technique whose applications extend to many different analytes and matrices. Its limitation lies on the far UV region (~ 190 nm) and therefore it remained exclusive for metal determination as non-metals typically absorb within the vacuum-UV region. With the invention of the High-Resolution Continuum Source AAS (HR CS AAS), the AAS analysis has been upgraded and a new dimension (wavelength) was added: the visualization of the analytical lines vicinity. This new feature allowed improved spectral information, mainly related to the structured bands of diatomic molecules, giving rise to the HR CS Molecular Absorption Spectrometry (MAS). The goal of this thesis was the evaluation of new analytical procedures for non-metals determination by HR CS MAS, specifically Br, Cl, and S, using graphite furnace as the atomizer. Bromine in plastic electronic components was evaluated as CaBr after Soxhlet extraction with toluene. This method had limits of detection (LD) and quantification (LQ) of 4.3 and 14 -ng, respectively, using Pd as chemical modifier. Sulfur determination via CS molecule employed two distinct matrices: coal and diesel. Coal samples were prepared as a slurry with Triton X-100 0.04% m v1 for injection in the HR CS MAS and the external calibration employed was (NH4)2SO4as sulfur standard. The method LD and LQ were 0.01% m m1 and 0.05% m m1, respectively. Two methods were studied for diesel samples: (i) alcoholic emulsion with ethanol 50% v v1, with an LD of 0.12 g kg1 and an LQ of 0.40 g kg1, suitable for sulfur high concentration determination in diesel; and (ii) direct diesel injection in the HR CS MAS system, whose LD and LQ were 3 mg kg-1and 9 mg kg-1, respectively. Both methods employed Pd nanoparticles as chemical modifier, with better results for direct diesel analysis. Ultimately, a new concept was investigated in HR CS MAS: the isotopic shift of diatomic molecules. An absorption profile consisted of multiple peaks was due to vibrational and rotational energy couplings within the electronic transition observed by HR CS MAS, which provided the isotopic shift. This effect was detected on AlCl and CaBr molecules, whose target isotopes were, respectively, 35Cl &37Cl and 79Br &81Br. The observed isotopic shifts were 15.6 pm (AlCl) and 41.6 pm (CaBr) at the selected wavelengths, appropriate for isotopic dilution calibration, which featured LDs of 2.5 ng and 64 ng, respectively. Natural and mineral water samples were evaluated for Cl determination; and Br was found in PVC and tomato leaves samples, both introduced as solid samples in HR CS GFMAS. Isotopic dilution adequately corrected the spectral interferences derived from the matrices of both analytes.
