Matrix Infrared Spectrum and Bonding in the Monobromomethyl Radical
摘要:
The simultaneous deposition of atomic beams of lithium (6Li or 7Li) with CH2BrX (X=F, Cl, Br, I) at high dilution in argon on a CsI cold window at 15°K produces infrared absorptions identified as the monobromomethyl radical and the corresponding lithium halide. The identity of the radical is confirmed by comparing the spectra of the reactions of CH2BrX (X=Br, I) with Na and K. The reactions of CHDBr2 and CD2Br2 with Li and Na support assignments to v2, the symmetric H–C–H valence angle bend, v3, the C–Br stretch, and v6, the out-of-plane hydrogen bend, of the monobromomethyl radical. Bromine isotopic splittings are observed for the first time in an argon matrix. The high C–Br stretching force constant (3.42 ± 0.02 mdyn/ Å) indicates considerable electronic stabilization in the CH2Br radical and suggests (p–p) π and some (p–d) π bonding between carbon and bromine. The large positive quartic term in the out-of-plane bending potential function is consistent with a planar radical.

The very high reactivity of aminoalkyl radicals toward the halogen abstraction reaction is reported for the first time. Reaction rate constants with CCl4 and CBr4 are close to the diffusion limit: they are about 4–5 orders of magnitude higher than those previously determined for typical alkyl radicals. A better understanding of this unusual behavior is obtained using molecular orbitals (MO) calculations

The photodissociationdynamics of chlorobromomethane (CBM) were investigated between 193 and 242 nm by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS). Translational energy distributions, anisotropy parameters, and Br:Br* branching ratios were determined at 193 and 235 nm to explore the non-adiabatic dynamics near the avoided crossing.

radical and solvent Br charge-transfercomplexes. Following irradiation of CH2Br2 at 255 nm, the iso-H2CBrBr isomer product rapidly converts back to the parent species, and transient absorption spectra reveal the bands of solvent-separated radical species, the CH2Br radical peaking at 235 nm, as well as the CH3CN·Br complex at 272 nm. The absorption of CH2Br exhibits minor solvatochromic shifts upon going
rotational spectrum of the bromomethyl radical in the gas phase has been observed. The radical was produced in a fast flow system by hydrogen abstraction of CH3Br by Cl or F atoms obtained from a 2450 MHz microwave discharge in Cl2 or in CF4, respectively. The rotational, quartic centrifugal distortion constants have been obtained as well as the electron spin–rotation interaction constants. The small

The kinetics of the reactions of CH2I, CH2Br, CH2Cl, and CHCl2 with HI were studied in a tubular reactor coupled to a photoionization mass spectrometer. Rate constants were measured as a function of temperature (typically between 294 and 552 K) to determine Arrhenius parameters. For these and other R + HI reactions studied to date (i.e., those involving alkyl radicals), a linear free energy relationship was discovered which correlates the large differences in reactivity among all these R + HI reactions with the inductive effect of the substituent atoms or groups on the central carbon atom.
