The conversion of peroxynitrite （ONOO-） to nitrate （NO3-） mediated by peroxynitrous acid （ONOOH） has been investigated at the CCSD/6-311G（d）//B3LYP/6-31 1＋G（d,p） level.

Two kinds of pathways for the title reaction were found. The results show that the energy barrier of isomerization through pathway 1 is around 25 kcal/mol in the gas phase. This value is significantly lower than that of isomerization without any catalysts. Thus, it indicates that ONOOH definitely makes the conversion from ONOO- to NO3- feasible. Although pathway 2 does not decrease the energy barrier of this isomerization, peroxynitric acid （O2NOOH） was obtained; moreover, this is a new pathway for this formation. In view of the results that peroxynitrate anion can decompose into nitrite and dioxygen, we conclude that our results are consistent with the experimental observation that nitrate, nitrite, and dioxygen are the main final products of the decay of peroxynitrite around pH 7.展开更多

The potential energy surfaces （PES） along the O-N and O-O bonds have been scanned at CCSD（T）/aug-cc-pVDZ level, respectively. The calculated results show that on the O-N PES, the O3-N4 bond length of the loose transition state is 2.82A^° and the corresponding energy barrier is 25.6 kcal/mol, while on the O-O PES, the loose transition state with of O2-O3 bond length of 2.35A^° has the energy barrier of 37.4 kcal/mol. Thus the primary reaction path for peroxynitric acid is the dissociation into HO2 and NO2.展开更多

The calculated results indicate that the solvent effect has significant influence on the electric dipole transition moments between the ground and excited electronic state and Raman polarizabilities. The theoretical Raman spectra agree well with the experimental results. From the experimental depolarization ratio, we can conclude that peroxynitric acid is not a plane molecule. We also find that the hydrogen bond can enhance IR intensity of hydroxyl group by several times.展开更多

Based on the calculated potential energy surface, five reaction channels, H20＋NO2＋O2, HOOH＋NO3, NO2＋HO3H, HO2＋HONO2 and HO2＋HOONO, were examined in detail. The major reaction channel is PNA＋OH→M1→TS1→H2O＋NO2＋O2. Taking a pre-equilibrium approximation and using the CBS-QB3 energies, the theoretical rate constant of this channel was calculated as 1.13×10-12 cm^3/（molecule s） at 300 K, in agreement with the experimental result. Comparison between reactions of HOONO2＋OH and HONO2＋OH was carried out. For HOR＋OH reactions, the total rate constants increase from R=NO2 to R=ONO2, which is consistent with experimental measurements.展开更多
