Mechanism of Nitric Oxide Oxidation Reaction (2NO + O2 → 2NO2) Revisited

Abstract: The reaction between molecular oxygen and two nitric oxide(II) molecules is studied with high-level ab initio wave function methods, including geometry optimizations with coupled cluster (CCSD(T,full)/cc-pCVTZ) and complete active space with second order perturbation theory levels (CASPT2/cc-pVDZ). The energy at the critical points was refined by calculations at the CCSD(T,full)/aug-cc-pCVTZ level. The controversies found in the previous theoretical studies are critically discussed and resolved. The best estim… Show more

“…Even qualitative estimation of energies was found to be correct . As a drawback, several examples had been reported where B3LYP and other density functionals resulted to qualitatively incorrect mechanistic prediction of even textbook reactions . In the present study, we verified that B3LYP/6‐31G(d) remains a reliable theory level by BSSE evaluation and inclusion of correlation effects not covered by the hybrid GGA approach.…”

However, this reaction is more complicated and less selective compared to the former two, in part because even in the absence of catalyst, NO can disproportionate-into NO xand NH 4 + products-and/or become oxidized-to NO x --by leftover O 2 in aqueous solution (Figure 4c, d). 75,76 Based on our results, we conclude that both NO 2and NO are competent intermediates in NO 3hydrogenation over Ni 2 P (Scheme 1b).…”

“…In order to simulate the experimental data, the kinetic parameters of R11 were revised in the present work. Some uncertainty exists towards R11 [42], for which most reliable value of activation energy determined up to date is -4.41 [±3.33] kJ/mol [43]. We have taken the pre-exponential factor recommended by Atkinson et al [43] and varied the activation energy in the uncertainty limits, taking the inferior limit, what makes an apparent activation energy of -7.74 kJ/mol (-1850 cal/mol), and which seems to be adequate in all the experimental conditions of this work to reproduce properly the N O/N O 2 concentrations.…”
