项目摘要

This project is being jointly funded by the Environmental Chemical Sciences (ECS) and the Chemical Theory, Modeling, and Computation (CTMC) Programs of the Chemistry Division, as well as the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). Professor Tolga Karsili of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and his students are using and developing state-of-the-art quantum chemical and dynamics methods to study the chemistry of Criegee intermediates (CI). CIs are formed by the reaction of ozone with volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere. Such reactions are an important source of hydroxyl radicals which break down pollutants and ‘clean’ the atmosphere. They are often referred to as atmospheric detergents and are important in increasing the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere. The project involves graduate and undergraduate students, as well as high-school students, including members of underrepresented groups. The students also have opportunities to travel to the group of the collaborator, Professor Hua Guo (University of New Mexico), to learn new techniques. The project focusses on the unimolecular decay of the thermalized and vibrationally and electronically excited CIs. CIs are formed with excess internal energy and thus may undergo further reactions, such as unimolecular decay or isomerization. Alternatively, the highly vibrationally excited CI may undergo vibrational energy relaxation through collisions with proximal molecules. The stabilized CIs can then undergo unimolecular decay, react with several trace atmospheric species or may undergo UV-excitation. Unimolecular decay of thermalized and highly vibrationally excited CI is a well-known source of hydroxyl radicals. Professor Karsili and his group are computationally studying the vibrationally and electronically excited quantum dynamics associated with the simplest CI, derived from the ozonolysis of ethene and then systematically comparing with CIs of increasing molecular complexity.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目由环境化学科学（EC）以及化学分部的化学理论，建模和计算（CTMC）以及刺激竞争性研究（EPSCOR）的既定计划共同资助。路易斯安那大学拉斐特大学及其学生正在使用并开发最先进的量子化学和动力学方法来研究Criegee Intermediates（CI）的化学方法。顺es是由臭氧与大气中挥发性有机化合物的反应形成的。这种反应是羟基自由基的重要来源，它们会分解污染物并“清洁”大气。它们通常称为大气检测器，对于增加大气的氧化能力很重要。该项目涉及研究生和本科生以及高中生，包括代表性不足的团体成员。这些学生还有机会前往合作者Whua Guo（新墨西哥大学）的合作者小组学习新技术。该项目的重点是热和虚拟和电子激发顺式的单分子衰减。 CI形成过多的内部能量，因此可能会发生进一步的反应，例如单分子衰减或异构化。或者，高度振动激发的CI可能会通过与近端分子的碰撞进行振动能量松弛。然后，稳定的顺式可以经历单分子衰减，与几种痕量大气物种反应，或者可能经历紫外线兴奋。热化和高度振动激发的CI的单分子衰减是众所周知的羟基自由基的来源。 Karsili教授和他的小组正在计算研究与最简单的CI相关的振动和电子激发量子动力学，这些动力学来自乙烯的臭氧解析，然后系统地与分子复杂性的增加的CI进行比较。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估了CR的支持，该奖项通过评估了CR的支持，并通过基金会的基础来评估了支持。
