How Long Can You Make an Oxygen Chain?

Abstract: This paper reports theoretical gas-phase structures and energetics using G2(MP2) theory for saturated oxygen chains of the general formula HO n H. Structural trends are discussed using a simple hyperconjugation model which is capable of giving a qualitative explanation for trends in bond lengths and dihedral angles. Bond dissociation energies (BDEs) are calculated for chains of increasing length, giving 49.9, 33.9, and 17.8 kcal/mol for H2O2, H2O3, and H2O4, respectively. From an analysis of the radical stabil… Show more

“…The spectrum of the HO • 4 radical is similar to that of ozone, but the molar absorption coefficient ε(HO • 4 ) λmax of the former is almost two times larger [68]. The assumption about the cyclic structure of the HO • 4 radical can stem from the fact that its mean lifetime in water at 294 K, which is (3.6±0.4)×10 −5 s (as estimated [59] using the Gaussian-98 program confirmed that the cyclic structure of HO • 4 [73] is energetically more favorable than the helical structure [69] (the difference in energy is 4.8-7.3 kJ mol −1 , depending on the computational method and the basis set). 10 For example, with the MP2(full)/6-31G(d) method, the difference between the full energies of the cyclic and acyclic HO • 4 conformers with their zero-point energies (ZPE) values taken into account (which reduces the energy difference by 1.1 kJ mol −1 ) is −5.1 kJ mol −1 and the entropy of the acyclic-to-cyclic HO • 4 transition is ΔS • 298 =−1.6 kJ mol −1 K −1 .…”

“…The oxygen concentration attained in the liquid may be below the thermodynamically equilibrium oxygen concentration because of diffusion limitations hampering the establishment of the gas-liquid saturated solution equilibrium under given experimental conditions (for example, when the gas is bubbled through the liquid) or because the Henry law is violated for the given gasliquid system under real conditions. 4 radical with a helical structure were carried out using the G2(MP2) method [69]. The stabilization energies of HO • 2 , HO • 4 , and HO • 3 were calculated in the same work to be 64.5 ± 0.1, 69.5 ± 0.8, and 88.5 ± 0.8 kJ mol −1 , respectively.…”
