Comparison of hydride, hydrogen atom, and proton-coupled electron transfer reactions.
A comparison of hydride, hydrogen atom, and proton-coupled electron transfer reactions is presented. Herein, hydride and hydrogen atom transfer refer to reactions in which the electrons and protons transfer between the same donor and acceptor, while proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) refers to reactions in which the electrons and protons transfer between different centers. Within these def...
متن کاملConcerted hydrogen-atom abstraction in photosynthetic water oxidation.
Photosystem II evolves oxygen by using water in the unlikely role of a reductant. The absorption of sunlight by chlorophyll produces highly oxidizing equivalents that are filled with electrons stripped from water. This proton-coupled redox chemistry occurs at the oxygen-evolving complex, which contains a tetramanganese cluster, a redox-active tyrosine amino acid hydrogen-bonded to a histidine a...
متن کاملAtmospheric formation of the NO3 radical from gas-phase reaction of HNO3 acid with the NH2 radical: proton-coupled electron-transfer versus hydrogen atom transfer mechanisms.
The gas-phase reaction of nitric acid with the amidogen radical under atmospheric conditions has been investigated using quantum mechanical (QCISD and CCSD(T)) and DFT (B3LYP, BH&HLYP, M05, M05-2X, and M06-2X) calculations with the 6-311+G(2df,2p), aug-cc-pVTZ, aug-cc-pVQZ and extrapolation to the CBS basis sets. The reaction begins with the barrierless formation of a hydrogen-bonded complex, w...
متن کاملSolvent Dependence on the Intramolecular Excited-State Proton or Hydrogen Atom Transfer in Hypocrellin
Hypocrellin and its analog, hypericin (Figure 1), are naturally occurring quinones that have been used for centuries as folk medicines in the orient and the occident and that have attracted much interest because of their light-induced toxicity toward the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).1The structural similarities of hypocrellin and hypericin would seem to suggest that hypocrellin exhibits e...
متن کاملDependence of Vibronic Coupling on Molecular Geometry and Environment: Bridging Hydrogen Atom Transfer and Electron–Proton Transfer
The rate constants for typical concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions depend on the vibronic coupling between the diabatic reactant and product states. The form of the vibronic coupling is different for electronically adiabatic and nonadiabatic reactions, which are associated with hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and electron-proton transfer (EPT) mechanisms, respectively. Most...
