There are two possible reaction pathways for the degradation processes have been predicted: the hydrogen abstraction pathway and the hydroxyl addition elimination pathway. Additionally, the formation mechanism for a series of the products such as epoxide, naphthalene-1,8-dicarbaldehyde, dialdehydes, 1-acenaphthenone and nitroacenaphthylene are discussed in detail as well. From the analyses of the decomposition of OH-acenaphthylene adducts, it is found that the favorable reaction with O2/NO is to form the acenaphthenone rather than epoxide, and the most stable isomer is acenaphthenone react from the C1-site reaction. The advantage reaction pathway with NO2 is to form nitroacenaphthylene and nitroacenaphthylenol from C1-site, too.展开更多

The relations of these thermodynamic properties with the number and position of chlorine atoms were also explored, from which the relative stability of PCAC congeners was theoretically proposed according to the magnitude of the relative standard Gibbs free energy of formation (△r,fGθ). The results show that all PCAC isomers have planar geometric configuration. There exists intramolecular Cl···Cl weak interaction in some PCAC molecules. The change of △fHθ and fGθ of most stable PCAC isomers with increasing the number of chlorine atoms is different from that in the least stable PCAC congeners. The values of fHθ and fGθ for PCAC isomers with the same number of chlorine atoms show a strong dependence on the position of chlorine atoms and the relative stability of PCAC congeners has close relation with the intramolecular Cl···Cl nuclear repulsive interaction.展开更多
