(J. Chem. Phys. 119, 3063 (2003)). The peaks of the product angular distribution are found to be in both backward and forward directions for the two title reactions. The product rotational angular momentum is not only aligned, but also oriented along the negative direction of y-axis. These theoretical results are in good agreement with recent experimental findings for the two title reactions. The isotopic effect is also revealed and primarily attributed to the difference of the mass factor in the two title reactions.展开更多

Electronic structure calculations for all stationary points are obtained using a dual-level strategy. The geometry optimization is performed using the unrestricted second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation method and the single-point energy is computed us- ing the coupled-cluster singles and doubles augmented by a perturbative treatment of triple excitations method. Results indicate that the main reaction channel is C3Hs+O(^3p)→i- C3HT+OH. Based upon the ab initio data, thermal rate constants are calculated using the variational transition state theory method with the temperature ranging from 298 K to 1000 K. These calculated rate constants are in better agreement with experiments than those reported in previous theoretical studies, and the branching ratios of the reaction are also calculated in the present work. Furthermore, the isotope effects of the title reaction are calculated and discussed. The present work reveals the reaction mechanism of hydrogenabstraction from propane involving reaction channel competitions is helpful for the understanding of propane combustion.展开更多

This effect used to be called the "odd--even isotope effect" because the odd mass number isotopes behave differently from the even mass number isotopes. This mass-indepen- dent isotope fractionation driving force, which originates from the difference in the ground-state electronic energies caused by differences in nuclear size and shape, is cur- rently denoted as the nuclear field shift effect (NFSE). It is found that the NFSE can drive isotope fractionation of some heavy elements (e.g., Hg, T1, U) to an astonishing degree, far more than the magnitude caused by the con- ventional mass-dependent effect (MDE). For light ele- ments, the MDE is the dominant factor in isotope fractionation, while the NFSE is neglectable. Furthermore, the MDE and the NFSE both decrease as temperatures increase, though at different rates. The MDE decreases rapidly with a factor of 1/T2, while the NFSE decreases slowly with a factor of 1/T. As a result, even at high temperatures, the NFSE is still significant for many heavy element isotope systems. In this review paper, we begin with an introduction of the basic concept of the NSFE, including its history and recent progress, and follow with the potential implications of the inclusion of the NFSE into the kinetic isotope fractionation effect (KIE) and heavy isotope geochronology.展开更多

The desorption of high rank coalbed methane in Qinshui basin was periodic, and isotope fractionation effect also exists in the process. △δ^13C1 can be used to distinguish the stabilization of coalbed methane wells, associated with desorption rate, the individual well recoverable reserves can be calculated. Economically recoverable time can be predicted according to the logarithmic relationship between desorption gas content per ton and desorption time. The error between predicted result and numerical simulation result is only 1.5%.展开更多

We here present a study of hydrogen and its deuterated molecules dissociation on Pd surfaces based on a full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) constructed by using a simple second moment approximation reactive force field (SMA RFF). Although the descriptions of the adsorbate-substrate interaction contain only the dissociation reaction of H2/Pd(111) system, a good transferability of SMA potential energy surface (PES) is shown to investigate the hydrogen dissociation on Pd(100). Our simulation results show that, the dissociation probabilities of H2 and its deuterated molecules on Pd(111) and Pd(100) surfaces keep non-monotonous variations with respect to the incident energy Ei, which is in good agreement with the previous ab initio molecular dynamics. Furthermore, for the oriented molecules, the dissociation probabilities of the oriented H2 (D2 and T2) molecule have the same orientation dependence behavior as those oriented HD (HT and DT) molecules.展开更多

The CH4 emission and corresponding (δ13CH4emitted under various field managements (mulching, water regime, tillage, and nitrogen (N) fertilization) were simultaneously measured in three typical Chinese rice fields, a permanently flooded rice field in Ziyang City, Sichuan Province, Southwest China, a double-rice cropping field in Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province, Southeast China, and a rice-wheat rotation field in Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, East China, from 2010 to 2012. Results showed different seasonal variations of δ13CH4emitted among the three fields during the rice-growing season. The values of (δ13CH4emitted were negatively correlated with corresponding CH4 emissions in seasonal variation and mean, indicating the importance of CH4 production, oxidation, and transport associated with isotopic fractionation effects to the δ13CH4emitted. Seasonal variations of δ13CH4emltted were slightly impacted by mulching cultivation, tillage, and N application, but highly controlled by drainage. Meanwhile, tillage, N application, and especially mulching cultivation had important effects on seasonal mean CH4 emissions and corresponding δ13CH4emitted with low emissions accompanied by high values of δ13CH4emitted. Seasonal mean values of (δ13CH4emitted from the three fields were similar, mostly ranging from -60‰ to -50‰ which are well in agreement with previously published data. These demonstrated that seasonal variations of (δ13CH4emitted mainly depended on the changes in CH4 emission from rice fields and further indicated the important effects of methanogenic pathways, CH4 oxidation, and CH4 transport associated with isotope fractionation effects influenced by field managements on δ13CH4emitted.展开更多

This may produce biases in CO2 mole fraction measurements of a sample if its carbon isotopic composition deviates from that of the standard gases being used. To evaluate and compare the effects of carbon isotopic composition on NDIR and CRDS CO2 analyzers, we prepared three test sample air cylinders with varying carbon isotopic abundances and calibrated them against five standard cylinders with ambient carbon isotopic composition using CRDS and NDIR systems. We found that the CO2 mole fractions of the sample cylinders measured by G1301 (CRDS) were in good agreement with those measured by LoFlo (NDIR). The CO2 values measured by both instruments were higher than that of a CO2 isotope measured by G2201i (CRDS) analyzer for a test cylinder with depleted carbon isotopic composition δ^13C =-36.828%0, whereas no obvious difference was found for other two test cylinders with 3 δ^13C=-8.630‰ and δ^13C=-15.380‰, respectively. According to the theoretical and experimental results, we concluded that the total CO2 mole fractions of samples with depleted isotopic compositions can be corrected on the basis of their 12CO2 values calibrated by standard gases using LoFlo and G1301 if the fi13C and fi180 values are known.

This simulation investigation is focused on the effect of the formation of bonded excimer in stacked adenines on the mechanism of ultrafast decay. The simulation finds that the formation of the bond- ed excimer significantly lowers the energy gap between the LUMO and HOMO and consequently facilitates the deactivation of the electronically excited molecule. On the other hand, the formation of the chemical bond between two stacked adenines re- stricts the deformation vibration of the pyrimidine of the excited molecule due to the steric effect. This slows down the formation of the coupling between the HOMO and LUMO energy levels and therefore delays the deactivation process of the excited adenine molecule to the electronic ground state.展开更多
