Abstract: The anionic production pathways involved in the reaction between hydroxide anion(OH-)and chlorofluoromethane(CH2ClF)were theoretically investigated.The optimized geometries of all the important species on the reaction potential energy surface were obtained at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)and B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,p)levels.Consequently,harmonic vibrational frequencies and zero point energies(ZPEs)were calculated.Based on the relative energies of all the species that were calculated at the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,3dp)level,the anionic production channels for the H+-abstraction and the bimolecular nucleophilic substitution(SN2)reaction processes are elaborated upon.According to the calculated barrier heights for the production pathways,the H+-abstraction channel is dominant,which agrees very well with previous experimental conclusions.In addition,non-typical anionic products are suggested to form during the SN2 reaction processes where the serious dynamic effect probably causes the SN2 reaction process to produce F-.

1 Introduction

The reactions of anions with neutral molecules play an important role in ionospheric chemistry,organic chemistry,combustion chemistry,and surface chemistry,1-3thus the corresponding investigations have drawn extensive attention since 1950s.Many experimental techniques have been developed to explore these reactions in gas phase between anions with organic and inorganic molecules,such as flowing afterglow,4flowdrift tube,5ion cyclotron resonance,6tandem mass spectrum,7selected ion flow tube(SIFT),8and crossed beam.9The reaction rates and the branching ratios have been measured subsequently.Based on the observed products,the reaction mechanisms have been speculated.However,due to the influence of secondary reactions involved in experiments and low sensitivity of detectors,different experimental methods have always revealed very different reaction rate coefficients and branching ratios,e.g.,the reported reaction rate coefficients and branching ratios are generally considered to be accurate to±20%.2,10In addition,the electron detachment processes have been often involved in the reaction of anions with molecules,and the corresponding neutral products could not been probed by all aforementioned experimental techniques.Therefore,to uncover the comprehensive reaction mechanisms,theoretical calculations are believed to be more powerful to describe the reaction processes,especially when the secondary reactions and electron detachment channels exist.

Chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs)are considered to be accountable for the depletion of ozone and greenhouse effect.11-13Chlorofluoromethane(CH2ClF)is a typical molecule of hydrochlorofluorocarbons(HCFCs),14,15which are formulated to be transitional replacements of the CFCs,used as refrigerants,solvents,blowing agents for plastic foam manufacture,and fire extinguishersunderthe MontrealProtocol.16However,since CH2ClF includes chlorine atom as well,which is potentially released to do harm to the environment,some reactions14,17-20including the reactions of CH2ClF with cations,anions,and OH radical have been investigated in both theoretical and experimental fields.Hydroxide anion(OH-),as a typical nucleophile and base,10,21has active chemical properties like the atomic oxygen radical anion in the gas phase,and it can sink hazardous substances in the air by reacting with them.In addition,the comprehensive investigation of OH-(H2O)nwith kinds of gas molecules has been thought to be able to provide a significant clue to liquid-phase reactions.22,23Therefore,it is meaningful to extensively study the OH-+CH2ClF reaction.

Mayhew et al.10have investigated the reaction of OH-with CH2ClF using the SIFT technique,and four potential thermodynamic production pathways have been probably involved as follows,

These four pathways are defined as(1)proton abstraction,(2)SN2 to produce Cl-,(3)SN2 to produce F-,(4)replacement of Cl atom channel,respectively.Among these four production pathways,the channels(1-3)are exothermic,while the channel(4)is endothermic by 47 kJ·mol-1.10In Mayhew et al.′s experiment,only anionic products of channel(1)and(2)were observed as CHClF-(molar ratio,90%)and Cl-(molar ratio,10%).No OCl-anion from channel(4)was observed,which agrees with thermochemical surmise.However,the measured branching ratios of anionic products of CHClF-and Cl-are on the contrary order to thermochemical results,and no F-anions were observed although the channel(3)is exothermic as well.Thus,the extensive theoretical calculations are expected to reveal the detailed reaction mechanism and anionic production channels involved,and more information can be provided to deeply understand the SN2 reaction pathway by comparing the channels(2)and(3).In addition,the theoretical calculations will also identify the neutral products,e.g.,H2+CHFO and/or HF+CH2O from channel(2),which cannot be revealed by the experiments yet.

In this work,the anionic production channels(1-3)involved in the title reaction will be investigated using quantum chemical calculations.Based on the calculated barrier heights for various production channels,the dominant production channel will be discussed,and thus the branching ratios observed in the previous experiments10will be explained.

2 Computational methods

All quantum chemical calculations were performed using the Gaussian 03 program package.24Geometries of all stationary points including reactants,intermediate complexes(IMs),transition states(TSs),and products on the potential energy surface(PES)were optimized at the B3LYP25,26/6-31+G(d,p)level.To consider the diffuse electron effects involved in the title reaction system,polarized and diffuse functions were expanded to the basis set,and the geometries were re-optimized at the B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,p)level to study the expansive basis set effects.Harmonic vibrational frequencies,ZPEs(scaled by a factor of 0.9857),27and thermal enthalpy corrections were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)level.Moreover,intrinsic reaction coordinate(IRC)28,29calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)level were performed to identify the corresponding reactant and product for every transition state.The Mulliken population analysis30was utilized to characterize the charge distributions for the intermediate complexes and anionic products.The single point energies of stationary points were calculated at the CCSD(T)31-33/6-311+G(3df,3dp)level with the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)optimized geometries,and subsequently the relative energies were obtained as well as reaction enthalpies.To compare with the experimental data,the reaction enthalpies at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ and G3MP2B334,35levels were also calculated to verify the reliability of the present calculated results at the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,3dp)level.

3 Results and discussion

The reaction enthalpies at 298.15 K of the production channels(1-3)were calculated at the G3MP2B3,CCSD(T)/aug-ccpVDZ,and CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,3dp)levels,respectively,and listed in Table 1,where all calculated enthalpies have already included the thermal correction at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)level.Although our previous calculations on the similar reaction systems,e.g.,O-+C2H4,36,37O-+C5H5N,38O-+CH3CN,39exhibited the most accurate relative energies obtained at the G3MP2B3 level,the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,3dp)level shows the best performance in the title reaction,and the maximum error is within 3 kJ·mol-1.The potential reason is due to the difference between the open-shell and close-shell systems.

As we expected,all final products of channels(1-3)could be produced through a typical multi-step reaction process as shown in the following schemes.

where the CH2FOH fragment could further dissociate to CHFO+H2or CH2O+HF.Fig.1 shows the optimized geometries of main reactants,products,IMs and TSs,where parameters in normal type were obtained at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)level and those in bold type were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,p)level.Briefly,all geometry parameters at both levels are consistent,and the differences of bond length and bond angles are less than 0.0032 nm and 1.6°.Therefore,the diffuse electron effect is not serious in the title reaction,although some molecular structures are very loose.Thus the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)geometries are used in the following sections unless otherwise noted.

The CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,3dp)relative energies at 0 K with ZPEs correction of all species involved in the title reaction are summarized in Table 2,where the imaginary frequencies of transition states calculated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)level are listed as well.Based on these relative energies,the potential energy profile of the title reaction is shown in Fig.2,where the anionic production pathways(1-3)are represented respectively.

On the entrance PES of the title reaction,a unique intermediate complex denoted by IM1 is formed rapidly with OH-approaching CH2ClF,due to the ion-induced dipole interaction.As shown in Fig.1,the bond length of active C―H bond is elongated from 0.1090 nm in the CH2ClF to 0.1157 nm in IM1,and the distance between approaching OH-and the active H atom is 0.1595 nm,even much shorter than a normal hydrogen bonding length,indicating that the ion-induced dipole interaction is very strong indeed.The energy of IM1 is 96.8 kJ·mol-1lower than those of reactants,thus it can further isomerize and dissociate to final products.As mentioned above,there are three anionic production channels(1-3)probably involved in the reaction,which will be described in the following processes,e.g.,H+-abstraction and SN2 reactions.

Table 1 Reaction enthalpies(in kJ·mol-1)of various production channels at 298.15 K

3.1 H+-abstraction reaction channel(1)

IM1 can isomerize to IM2 through TS1 with a very lower barrier.As shown in Fig.1,the structures of IM1,TS1,and IM2 are fairly similar,in which the structure of CHFCl moiety is almost kept and only the distances between O and active H atom,C and the H atom are changed dramatically.The distance of O and H atom is shortened from 0.1595 nm in IM1 to 0.1274 nm in TS1,followed by a decrease to 0.1036 nm in IM2,while the C―H bond length is elongated gradually from 0.1157 nm in IM1 to 0.1343 nm in TS1 and 0.1772 nm in IM2.Thus,the O―H bond is formed and the C―H bond is broken in this isomerization process.Meanwhile,the producing H―O―H angle decreases to 102.87°in IM2,implying a water molecule is formed actually in IM2.Obviously,IM2 is an ion-induced dipole complex of CHFCl-and H2O,and thus it can decompose to the final products,H2O and CHClF-,by collision-induced dissociation without barriers.The overall production pathway is exothermic by 23.2 kJ·mol-1.

The present IRC calculations confirm that TS1 is the isomerization barrier from IM1 to IM2 indeed.The minimum energy path at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)level along this process is shown in Fig.3,where the charge distributions are obtained by the Mulliken population analysis and represented as well.A typical electron transfer happens in this process,and the negative charge of OH-anion is almost completely transferred to the CHFCl moiety in the transition state region.As a result,the produced intermediate IM2 is a complex of CHFCl-and H2O indeed.

The similar phenomena were observed in the reaction of OH-with CH(4-n)Cln(n=1-4)by Borisovet al.40As they mentioned,the barrier heights of H+-abstraction decrease with the increasing ofn(n=1-4),and moreover,these barriers even vanish away when thenequals to 3 or over.Actually,this change tendency of barrier height is related to the acidity of protons on halogens and the alkalinity of OH-.With the increasing of the number of halogens,the protons become more and more acidic,and thus the H+-abstraction more probably proceeds.

3.2 SN2 reaction channel to produce Cl-(2)

The SN2 reaction pathway to produce Cl-also starts from IM1.As shown in Fig.2,this process passes a barrier and produces a complex on the exit PES.The overall reaction pathway is similar to the reaction of OH-with CH2F2.41

The transition state has the[HO…CH2F…Cl]-structure ofCssymmetry and is noted as TS2.As shown in Fig.1,the C―Cl bond length is elongated from 0.1849 nm in IM1 to 0.2053 nm in TS2,while the distance between C and O atoms is shortened to 0.2356 nm in TS2.Three atoms(O,C,and Cl)are nearly collinear.Therefore,this transition state looks very like a typical SN2 reaction transition state,which should connect to a collinear product-like complex of CH2FOH…Cl-structure on the exit PES.However,the forward IRC calculation indicates that an unexpected potential minimum CH2FOH…Cl-(denoted by IM3)will be formed.IM3 breaks the Cssymmetry of the SN2 reaction system and is not the traditional collinear SN2 product complex.As indicated in Fig.4,there is a special exitchannel stage along MEP,which is noted as CX1.The relative energy along MEP dramatically drops to CX1 on the first stage after TS2,and then decreases slowly.The structure of CX1 looks very like the expected collinear SN2 product complex(Cl-…CH2FOH),although it is not a real potential minimum.Actually,the dissociating Cl-will roam towards the CH2FOH moiety and abstract the proton of OH group,due to the strong ion-induced dipole interaction.Thus the collinear symmetry is broken and a hydrogen-bond between H and Cl atoms is formed to be 0.2010 nm in IM3.In addition,the negative charge of OH-anion is transferred to the Cl atom in the transition state region as shown in Fig.4.Thus the produced intermediate IM3 is a complex of Cl-and CH2FOH indeed.

The energy of TS2 is 32.2 kJ·mol-1higher than that of IM1,and the energy difference between TS2 and IM3 is 282.2 kJ·mol-1.Thus it is highly exothermic from IM1 to IM3,and IM3 is energetic enough to proceed subsequent decomposition and isomerization.As shown in Fig.2,IM3 can decompose easilyto Cl-and CH2FOH directly,and the overall reaction pathway of OH-+CH2FCl? Cl-+CH2FOH is exothermic by 252.8 kJ·mol-1.However,CH2FOH cannot exist stably,and further dissociations will take place to produce H2+CHFO and/or HF+CH2O.The corresponding TSs are denoted as TS3 and TS4,respectively.As shown in Table 1,the total energy of TS3 and Cl-is 101.2 kJ·mol-1higher than that of reactants,and thus this pathway to produce H2and CHFO is difficult to happen in experiment.On the contrary,although the channel to produce HF and CH2O also needs overcome a high barrier(TS4)of 185.6 kJ·mol-1,the energy of TS4+Cl-is still lower than that of reactants.Therefore HF and CH2O should be the real neutral products corresponding to Cl-observed in experiment.

Table 2 Total energies and relative energies at 0 K,enthalpies at 298.15 K of all species involved in the title reaction calculated at the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(3df,3dp)level with ZPEs correction and enthalpies correction,respectively

3.3 SN2 reaction channel to produce F-(3)

The other SN2 reaction process of the title reaction is expected to produce F-and CH2ClOHviaisomerization and decomposition of IM1.As shown in Fig.1,a transition state with the[HO…CH2Cl…F]-structure andCssymmetry is found and denoted as TS5.Obviously,TS5 is rather similar to TS2 which is a traditional SN2 transition state to produce F-,where the C―F bond length is elongated from 0.1396 nm in IM1 to 0.1758 nm in TS5,and the distance between C and O atoms is shortened to 0.2000 nm in TS5.To our surprise,the forward IRC calculation of TS5 points to an unexpected potential minimum IM5 instead of the SN2 reaction product F-…CH2ClOH.As shown in Fig.5,IM5 is nearly a three-body intermediate complex ofCl-…CH2O…HF,where the CH2O…HF moiety is very similar to IM4 and a much stronger hydrogen bond of 0.1480 nm exists between the HF and O atom.Thus,IM5 can subsequently dissociate to Cl-,CH2O and HF by collision without any barrier.

The detailed information of geometry and charge distributions in this process is exhibited in Fig.5.Along MEP,the initial reaction stage after TS5 undergoes a typical SN2 process and the relative energy quickly drops,and a SN2 product complex(F-…CH2ClOH)is formed(denoted as CX2 in Fig.5).However,because CX2 is not a real potential minimum,the energy drops forward slowly on the PES.Due to the strong ion-induced dipole interaction,the dissociating F-will roam towards the CH2ClOH moiety and abstract a proton of OH group.Thus,HF and formaldehyde(CH2O)are produced,and Cl-is repulsed far away.A strong hydrogen-bond between F and O connects the HF and CH2O molecules.A complex CX3 is noted in Fig.5 and represents this special stage on PES.As shown in Fig.5,the negative charge of OH-anion is transferred to the F atom initially in the region of TS5,while the electron is re-exchanged when the F-extracts a proton of OH group to produce HF and formaldehyde in the CX3 region.Thus IM5 replaces the expected SN2 reaction product and is finally produced along the MEP.

Here we should demonstrate that all mentioned MEPs related to TS2 and TS5 only reflect static reaction pathways,and dynamic effects probably exist prominently in the anion-molecule reaction42-46especially for the SN2 reaction channels,e.g.,the SN2 reaction products of F-+CH3O are confirmed to occur along the dynamic reaction pathway in the O-+CH3F reaction,although the static reaction process related to the corresponding SN2 transition state does point to other products of HF+CH2O-.Since geometries of the SN2 transition states and MEPs for the title reaction and O-+CH3F reaction are very similar,the SN2 reaction channel(3)to produce F-and CH2ClOH can also be expected to happen in a real experiment,as well as the Cl-+CH2O+HF production pathway.However,due to the much higher energy of TS5 than that of TS2,the branching ratio of anionic products from the SN2 channel(3)are minor indeed.Therefore,for both SN2 reaction processes(2)and(3),the dominant products should be Cl-,HF,and formaldehyde.

3.4 Comparisons with the previous experimental conclusions

Based on the calculated barrier heights and reaction enthalpies,the H+-abstraction(1),SN2 reaction channels(2)and(3)can take place and the Cl-and CHClF-anions are expected to produce,which is consistent with the observed anionic products in experiments.10In addition,all three anionic production channels pass the same initial intermediate complex IM1 on the entrance PES,and thus the branching ratios should mainly depend on the barrier heights of subsequent isomerization and decomposition processes.Since the transition state TS1 has the lowest relative energy compared with TS2 and TS5,the H+-abstraction channel(1)is dominant,which agrees well with the experimental conclusions.10

4 Conclusions

The anionic production pathways involved in the reaction of hydroxide anion(OH-)with chlorofluoromethane(CH2ClF)have been studied.The unique intermediate has been located on the entrance potential energy surface,which is a typical ion-induced dipole complex indeed.All anionic products are formed via the isomerization and decomposition of this intermediate.

Based on the calculated barrier heights and reaction enthalpies,the H+-abstraction and two SN2 reaction channels can take place,and thus the Cl-and CHClF-anions are expected to produce finally,which is consistent with the observed anionic products in experiments.Since the transition state of H+-abstraction process has the lowest barrier height compared with those of the SN2 reaction channels,the H+-abstraction channel is certainly dominant,which agrees well with the experimental conclusions.In addition,present calculation also shows that the major neutral molecule products corresponding to the SN2 channel to produce Cl-should be HF and formaldehyde.Moreover,the MEP revealed by IRC calculations of the SN2 channel of OH-attacking C―F bond of CH2FCl represents the static reaction pathway to produce Cl-instead of the SN2 reaction product F-,however the characteristics of MEP imply that probably the serious dynamic effect exists in the real reaction process.As a result,the dynamic SN2 reaction process to produce F-probably happens in experiment,and the further trajectory calculations are undergoing to confirm our prediction.
