Reversible Photoinitiated Isomerization Reaction of BrOBr to BrBrO: A Combined Matrix Isolation and ab Initio Study
摘要:
The reversible photoinitiated isomerization reaction of BrOBr to BrBrO was measured in solid argon matrixes and calculated by multiconfigurational quasidegenerate perturbation theory (MCQDPT). The calculated vertical excitation energies are in good agreement with the experimentally observed excitation wavelengths. While the isomerization from BrOBr to BrBrO appears to be quantitative, some product loss is observed during the back reaction. The calculated excitation energies and oscillator strengths for transitions from the ground to excited states offer a detailed explanation of this behavior.
Bromineoxides have been generated by passing a mixture of Br(2)/O(2)/Ar through a microwave discharge. The products were stabilized at 6.5 K in an excess amount of argon. Infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze the species formed; experiments with enriched (18)O(2) and abinitio calculations were carried out to assist in the assignment of the spectra. Besides the known species BrO, OBrO, and BrBrO
Photolysis of argon samples containing Cl2, Br2, O3 with 800-360 nm irradiation produced new absorptions at 940.9-932.7 and 818.9-817.5 cm−1, which were assigned to the new BrClO and ClBrO species. Formation of these species proceeds through photodissociation of BrCl: O3 and ClBr: O3 complexes. Photolysis of ClBrO molecules above 400 nm produced BrCl species.
含Cl 2,Br 2,O 3的氩气样品在800-360 nm照射下发生光解,在940.9-932.7和818.9-817.5 cm -1处产生新的吸收,这些吸收被指定为新的BrClO和ClBrO种类。这些物质的形成通过BrCl:O 3和ClBr:O 3络合物的光解而进行。ClBrO分子在400 nm以上的光解产生BrCl物质。
