Abstract
The unsaturated alcohol 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol (MBO331) is a typical biogenic volatile organic compound in the atmosphere. The mechanism and kinetics of the MBO331 degradation initiated by O3 molecules were investigated at the M06-2X/6-311+G(3df,2p)//M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) level. 4-Hydroxy-2-butanone (P1) is the main product. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation showed that P1 can form large clusters with SA within 20 ns. The total constant is 8.28 × 10−18 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 298 K and 1 atm, and the corresponding lifetime is 2.0 days. This work provides theoretical guidance for the degradation of MBO331 by O3 molecules and serves as a reference for future experimental studies.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics publishes experimental and theoretical papers on all aspects of chemical physics. In this journal, experiments are related to theory, and in turn theoretical papers are related to present or future experiments. Subjects covered include: spectroscopy and molecular structure, interacting systems, relaxation phenomena, biological systems, materials, fundamental problems in molecular reactivity, molecular quantum theory and statistical mechanics. Computational chemistry studies of routine character are not appropriate for this journal.
