Abstract
The reactions of CH3CH2NCH3 amino radicals in the presence of NO, NO2 and O2 were investigated by quantum chemistry methods. It was found that CH3CH2N(CH3)NO, CH3CH2N(CH3)NO2 and CH3CH2N(CH3)ONO can be formed dominantly when CH3CH2NCH3 reacts with NO and NO2, while CH3CH=NCH3 and CH3CH2N=CH2 will be feasible when CH3CH2NCH3 is in the presence of oxygen. Time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculation shows that CH3CH2N(CH3)NO and CH3CH2N(CH3)ONO can photolyze under the sunlight, while CH3CH2N(CH3)NO2 cannot undergo photolysis in the daytime. Comparisons among the reactions of (CH3)2N, (CH3CH2)2N and CH3CH2NCH3 with NO, NO2 and O2 indicate that the asymmetric substituted alkyl groups will play a notable role in the formation of stable products.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (JASTP) is an international journal concerned with the inter-disciplinary science of the Earth''s atmospheric and space environment, especially the highly varied and highly variable physical phenomena that occur in this natural laboratory and the processes that couple them.
The journal covers the physical processes operating in the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, the Sun, interplanetary medium, and heliosphere. Phenomena occurring in other "spheres", solar influences on climate, and supporting laboratory measurements are also considered. The journal deals especially with the coupling between the different regions.
Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other energetic events on the Sun create interesting and important perturbations in the near-Earth space environment. The physics of such "space weather" is central to the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics and the journal welcomes papers that lead in the direction of a predictive understanding of the coupled system. Regarding the upper atmosphere, the subjects of aeronomy, geomagnetism and geoelectricity, auroral phenomena, radio wave propagation, and plasma instabilities, are examples within the broad field of solar-terrestrial physics which emphasise the energy exchange between the solar wind, the magnetospheric and ionospheric plasmas, and the neutral gas. In the lower atmosphere, topics covered range from mesoscale to global scale dynamics, to atmospheric electricity, lightning and its effects, and to anthropogenic changes.
