Abstract
The five-membered cyclic esters, or γ-lactones, are promising candidates as biofuel additives and green solvent components. A comprehensive study of thermochemical and kinetic properties of γ-butyrolactone (GBL), γ-valerolactone (GVL), γ-caprolactone (GCL), and γ-heptalactone (GHL) has been conducted. The entropy, , specific heat, , enthalpy function, , and the enthalphy of formation at 298.15 K, , as well as the adiabatic ionization potential and single bond dissociation energies are reported. Bimolecular rate constants for the abstraction of H-atom by H• and CH are presented on a per abstractable hydrogen basis; abstraction at the tertiary carbon site is consistently favored, while abstraction by CH lags behind H•. Addition reactions of H• and CH have high barriers and favor addition to the C-center.
期刊介绍:
As the leading archival journal devoted exclusively to chemical kinetics, the International Journal of Chemical Kinetics publishes original research in gas phase, condensed phase, and polymer reaction kinetics, as well as biochemical and surface kinetics. The Journal seeks to be the primary archive for careful experimental measurements of reaction kinetics, in both simple and complex systems. The Journal also presents new developments in applied theoretical kinetics and publishes large kinetic models, and the algorithms and estimates used in these models. These include methods for handling the large reaction networks important in biochemistry, catalysis, and free radical chemistry. In addition, the Journal explores such topics as the quantitative relationships between molecular structure and chemical reactivity, organic/inorganic chemistry and reaction mechanisms, and the reactive chemistry at interfaces.
