Photocatalytic Reduction of Nitroorganics over Illuminated Titanium Dioxide: Electron Transfer between Excited-State TiO2 and Nitroaromatics
摘要:
The present study investigates the steady-state photocatalytic reduction of methyl viologen and a suite of monosubstituted nitrobenzenes. Reduction was carried out in deoxygenated, illuminated aqueous slurries of titanium dioxide (Degussa P25) in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor, 2-propanol. Langmuir-Hinshelwood plots were obtained for the reduction of each compound and found to be linear, with an average correlation of 0.98 and with a standard deviation on the correlations of 0.02. The concentration independent rates for nitroaromatic reduction obtained from these plots were normalized against the rate of methyl viologen reduction, and the ratio was used to solve for the rate constant of nitroaromatic reduction, assuming a bimolecular model. The assumptions behind this procedure were tested by the use of the Marcus expression. Using the reorganization energy for the reaction as the fitting variable, it was possible to fit the measured rates to the predicted rates with a reorganization energy of 138 kJ/mol.

We report here a new method for the determination of electron capture (EC) rate constants that utilizes a pulsed electron beam mass spectrometer. The method is first tested by measurements of the known dissociative electron capture rate constants for several halogenated methanes that have been extensively studied by other techniques. The resonance electron capture (REC) rate constants of nitrobenzene (NB) and 23 substituted nitrobenzenes (SNB's) are then determined for the first time at 125 degrees C in 10 Torr of methane buffer gas. The SNB's studied here include several sets of closely related structural isomers whose electron affinities (EA's) have been previously determined. It is shown that the REC rate constants of these compounds bear little systematic relationship with the EA's of these compounds. The REC rate constants of the SNB's are also compared with other previously reported characteristics associated with the negative ionization of these compounds, including their entropies of negative ionization, the lifetimes against autodetachment of their initially formed molecular anions, and the rates of autodetachment from electronically excited states of their molecular anions.

Measurements of the equilibria (1): A−+B=A+B− with a pulsed electron high pressure mass spectrometer lead to ΔG01, ΔH01, and ΔS01. Equilibria involving SF6 as A and perfluoromethylcyclohexane C7F14 provide electron affinities E.A.(SF6)=1.05±0.1 eV and E.A.(C7F14)=1.06±0.15 eV. The kinetics of reactions (1) involving the above two compounds were studied. The rate constants kf for SF−6 +B=SF6+B− were found to increase with exothermicity of the reaction. The temperature dependence for kf was determined. B compounds leading to high exothermicities were associated with kf at the collision limit and essentially no temperature dependence. B of progressively lower electron affinity led to kf below the collision limit and negative temperature dependence, while B with the lowest E.A. but still leading to exothermic reaction produced lowest kf with positive temperature dependence. A model is provided explaining the above behavior. The known large change of geometry between SF−6 and SF6 introduces an internal barrier in the reaction coordinate for the reactions (1) involving SF6.
