Enthalpies of Formation of Dibenzo-p-dioxin and Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins Calculated by Density Functional Theory

Abstract: The enthalpies of formation for gaseous dibenzo-p-dioxin and 75 polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin congeners were calculated at the B3LYP density functional theory level using isodesmic reactions. Calculated values are compared with experimental data for dibenzo-p-dioxin, 1-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, 2-chlorodibenzo-pdioxin, and 2,3-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin as well as with previous results from group additivity estimations and theoretical calculations. The calculated enthalpy of formation of dibenzo-p-dioxin, -52.8… Show more

“…For approximate treatment of molecules with low-frequency internal rotations, Radom and co-workers , recommended to calculate the ZPE (zero-point energy) and thermal contribution to enthalpy associated with the frequencies below 260 cm –1 using a free rotor approximation. Even in the isodesmic reaction scheme, this procedure leads to the better agreement between the experimental and calculated enthalpies of formation when the reactants and products have different number of low-frequency modes, however, an error is usually minor when the reactants and products have similar internal rotations …”

“…As already noted, in the recent years the enthalpies of formation of different polychlorinated aromatic compounds were predicted from B3LYP calculations using isodesmic reactions [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. To estimate the f H • 298 values of PCDDs, the following reactions may be considered as the most appropriate:…”

“…The thermodynamic properties of chlorinated aromatic species are important in the kinetic modeling their formation during the processes of pyrolysis and oxidation. A large number of studies on the estimation of thermochemical properties of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans, naphthalenes, and biphenyls has been published last years (see [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], and references cited therein). In these works, the enthalpies of formation were calculated using the B3LYP total energies and isodesmic reactions.…”

“…Therefore, theoretical studies can be relevant for understanding the mechanisms of PCDD formation in combustion processes. Most of the theoretical studies have focused on the determination of thermodynamic properties, [4,35,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] while the remainder have analyzed the molecular geometry, [49][50][51] vibrational frequencies, [50] mechanisms of formation [35,[52][53][54][55] and decomposition, [56] and reactivity with OH radicals. [57] The mechanisms of formation of PCDDs involving anionic species have been studied less than those involving radicals and focusing only on the closure step of the central ring for PCDD formation.…”
