The dissociation dynamics of the B̃ 2Σu+ state of N3 were investigated using fast radical beam photodissociation coupled with a new coincidence wedge-and-strip-anode particle detector. With this detector, detailed photofragment kinetic energy and angular distributions can be measured as a function of excitation energy. Calibration of the detector by studies of the predissociation of the O2 B 3Σu− state is discussed. Methods of extracting the center-of-mass kinetic energy and angular distributions are presented. The photodissociation results for N3 show that from the vibrationless level of the B̃ 2Σu+ state in N3, both spin-allowed [N3→N(2D)+N2(1Σg+)] and spin-forbidden [N3→N(4S)+N2(1Σg+)] dissociation processes occur. Bend excitation in the B̃ 2Σu+ state, however, enhances the spin-allowed dissociation process considerably. The kinetic energy distributions reveal partially resolved vibrational structure in the N2 fragment, and indicate substantial rotational excitation of the N2. This implies that bent geometries play a major role in the dissociation of the N3 B̃ state. Possible mechanisms for the spin-forbidden and spin-allowed dissociation channels are discussed.
Kinetics of One-Electron Oxidation of Thiols and Hydrogen Abstraction by Thiyl Radicals from .alpha.-Amino C-H Bonds
摘要:
One-electron oxidation of cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione by azide radical in alkaline solution (pH 10.5), where both the amino and the SH groups are deprotonated, has been investigated by pulse radiolysis. Reducing alpha-aminoalkyl radicals ((.)CR), which are formed via intramolecular rearrangement of thiyl radicals, were detected using methylviologen as oxidant in the kinetic analysis. The general scheme of the reactions is sketched. Thiyl radicals either equilibrate with RSSR(.-) in reaction 5, RS(.) + RS(-) = RSSR(.-), or undergo intramolecular transformation via equilibrium 6, RS(.) = (.)CR. At pH 10.5, equilibrium 6 is completely shifted to the right, resulting in alpha-aminoalkyl radical formation. The rate constants in the reaction scheme for cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione were measured. With the rate constants obtained, the decay kinetics of RSSR(.-) into (.)CR was simulated, and it agreed with that measured at 420 nm. At pH 10.5, the first-order rate constants for the transformation (k(6)) were determined to be 2.5 x 10(4), 1.8 x 10(5) and 2.2 x 10(5) s(-1) for cysteine, homocysteine, and glutathione, respectively. The rate constants for intermolecular hydrogen abstraction by thiyl radicals from alpha-amino C-H bonds of alanine and glycine were determined at the same pH to be 7.7 x 10(5) and 3.2 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), respectively. Thermodynamic estimation places the reduction potential E degrees(H2NC(CO2-)CH3)(.), H+/H2NCH(CO2-)CH3) at ca. 1.22 V, which implies a rather weak tertiary C-H bond in the anion of alpha-amino acids. Thus, an intramolecular hydrogen abstraction mechanism for the transformation of thiyl radical to alpha-amino carbon-centered radical is postulated. Molecular geometry plays an important part in deciding the transformation rates (k(6)) of different thiyl radicals.

on reaction of naphthazarin (5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) with the oxidising radicals OH˙, O˙–, N˙3, Br˙–2, SO˙–4, ĊH2CHO and ĊHCHO– have been determined by pulseradiolysis. Although all these oxidants give some semioxidised naphthazarin, other species such as adducts may also be formed. SO˙–4, O˙– and N˙3 in strong alkali appear to lead predominantly to semioxidised naphthazarin which exists in

Abstract The photodissociation of HN 3 adsorbed on Si(111)-7 × 7 at 308nm was investigated using HREELS and XPS. Species such as NH x , N 2 , and N 3 , were identified on the surface with comparable concentrations after the irradiation with 1 × 10 20 photons of a 10 L HN 3 dosed Si(111) surface. The N 3 species showed two stretching modes at 178 and 255 meV, while that of the N 2 appeared at 206 me
