Proton transfer from 1,4-pentadiene to superoxide radical anion: a QTAIM analysis

<p>We studied the bis-allylic proton transfer<br />reaction from 1,4-pentadiene to superoxide<br />radical anion (O2<br />·־). Minima and<br />transition state geometries, as well as<br />thermochemical parameters were computed<br />at the B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,...

description <p>We studied the bis-allylic proton transfer<br />reaction from 1,4-pentadiene to superoxide<br />radical anion (O2<br />·־). Minima and<br />transition state geometries, as well as<br />thermochemical parameters were computed<br />at the B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,2p)<br />level of theory. The electronic wave<br />functions of reactants, intermediates,<br />and products were analyzed within the<br />framework of the Quantum Theory of<br />Atoms in Molecules. The results show<br />the formation of strongly hydrogen bonded<br />complexes between the 1,4-pentadien-<br />3-yl anion and the hydroperoxyl<br />radical as the reaction products. These<br />product complexes (PCs) are more stable<br />than the isolated reactants and much<br />more stable than the isolated products.<br />This reaction occurs via pre-reactive<br />complexes which are more stable than<br />the PCs and the transition states. This is<br />in agreement with the fact that the net<br />proton transfer reaction that leads to free<br />products is an endothermic and nonspontaneous<br />process.</p>
