Infrared detection of HO2 and HO3 radicals in water ice.

چکیده
Infrared spectroscopy has been used to detect HO(2) and HO(3) radicals in H(2)O + O(2) ice mixtures irradiated with 0.8 MeV protons. In these experiments, HO(2) was formed by the addition of an H atom to O(2) and HO(3) was formed by a similar addition of H to O(3). The band positions observed for HO(2) and HO(3) in H(2)O-ice are 1142 and 1259 cm(-1), respectively, and these assignments were confirmed with (18)O(2). HO(2) and HO(3) were also observed in irradiated H(2)O + O(3) ice mixtures, as well as in irradiated H(2)O(2) ice. The astronomical relevance of these laboratory measurements is discussed.

Hydrogen isotope effects and mechanism of aqueous ozone and peroxone decompositions.
Hydrogen peroxide exalts the reactivity of aqueous ozone by reasons that remain obscure. Should H2O2 enhance free radical production, as it is generally believed, a chain mechanism propagated by (.OH/.O2-) species would account for O3 decomposition rates in neat H2O, HR-O3, and in peroxone (O3 + H2O2) solutions, HPR-O3. We found, however, that: (1) the radical mechanism correctly predicts HR-O3...
متن کاملMultiple heme oxygenase family members contribute to the biosynthesis of the phytochrome chromophore in Arabidopsis.
The oxidative cleavage of heme by heme oxygenases (HOs) to form biliverdin IXalpha (BV) is the committed step in the biosynthesis of the phytochrome (phy) chromophore and thus essential for proper photomorphogenesis in plants. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) contains four possible HO genes (HY1, HO2-4). Genetic analysis of the HY1 locus showed previously that it is the major source of BV wit...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of hydroperoxyl radical using flow injection analysis with chemiluminescence detection.
The hydroperoxyl radical (HO2) is one of the most abundant free radicals in the atmosphere, where it participates in a series of photochemical reactions that determine the fate of natural and anthropogenic emissions. In addition, HO2 is found in droplets and surface water as a result of photochemical formation and gas-phase scavenging. We describe a quantitative method for determining trace con...
متن کاملThe hydrogen peroxyde radical, HO2 – a potential tracer of interstellar molecular oxygen
Methane/oxygen ice mixtures are irradiated in an ultra-high vacuum chamber at 10 K with 9.0 MeV α-particles to investigate the role of suprathermal oxygen atoms in the formation of oxygen-containing hydrocarbon molecules and to elucidate the formation of the hydrogen peroxyde radical, HO2, as a tracer for hitherto unobserved interstellar molecular oxygen, O2. Computer simulations calculate the ...
متن کاملExploration of the potential energy surfaces, prediction of atmospheric concentrations, and prediction of vibrational spectra for the HO2...(H2O)n (n = 1-2) hydrogen bonded complexes.
The hydroperoxy radical (HO2) plays a critical role in Earth's atmospheric chemistry as a component of many important reactions. The self-reaction of hydroperoxy radicals in the gas phase is strongly affected by the presence of water vapor. In this work, we explore the potential energy surfaces of hydroperoxy radicals hydrogen bonded to one or two water molecules, and predict atmospheric concen...
