Abstract
NH2SO3H can directly participate in H2SO4-(CH3)2NH-based cluster formation, and thereby substantially enhance the cluster formation rate. Herein, the reaction mechanisms and kinetics for the formation of NH2SO3H from the hydrolysis of HNSO2 without and with neutral (H2O, (H2O)2, and (H2O)3), basic (NH3 and CH3NH2), and acidic (HCOOH, H2SO4, H2SO4⋯H2O, and (H2SO4)2) catalysts were studied theoretically at the CCSD(T)-F12/cc-pVDZ-F12//M06-2X/6-311+G(2df,2pd) level. The calculated results showed that neutral, basic, and acidic catalysts decrease the energy barrier by over 18.1 kcal mol-1; meanwhile, the product formation of NH2SO3H was more strongly bonded to neutral, basic, and acidic catalysts than to the reactants HNSO2 and H2O. This reveals that the reported neutral, basic, and acidic catalysts promote the formation of NH2SO3H from the hydrolysis of HNSO2 both kinetically and thermodynamically. Kinetic calculations using the master equation showed that (H2O)2 (100% RH) dominate over the other catalysts within the range of 0-10 km altitudes and 230-320 K with its rate ratio larger by at least 2.98 times, whereas HCOOH (3.2 × 109 molecules cm-3) is the most favorable catalysts at 15 km altitude in the troposphere. Overall, the present results will provide a definitive example that neutral, basic, and acidic catalysts have important influences on atmospheric reactions.

Abstract
![]()
This work documents
the properties of a number of isomers of molecular
formula C2H5NO from the most stable, acetamide,
through 1,2-oxazetidine and including even higher energy species largely
of a dipolar nature. Only two of the isomers have been detected in
emissions from the interstellar medium (ISM); possible further candidates
are identified, and the likelihood of their being detectable is considered.
In general, hardly any of these compounds have been discussed in the
existing chemical literature, so this work represents an important
contribution extending the canon of chemical bonding which can contribute
to machine learning, providing a more exacting test of AI applications.
The presence in the ISM of acetamide, CH3C(O)NH2, is the subject of current debate with no clear and obvious paths
to its formation; it is shown that a 1,3-[H]-transfer from (E,Z)-ethanimidic acid, CH3C(OH)=NH, is
feasible in spite of an energy barrier of 130 kJ mol–1. It is speculated that imidic acid can itself be formed from abundant
precursors, H2O and CH3C≡N, in an acid-induced,
water addition, autocatalytic reaction on water–ice grains.

Abstract
CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations were performed on the addition of amines [i.e. ammonia (NH3), methyl amine (MA), and dimethyl amine (DMA)] to carbonyl sulfide (OCS), followed by transfer of the amine H-atom to either the S-atom or O-atom of OCS, assisted by a single water (H2O) or a formic acid (FA) molecule, leading to the formation of the corresponding carbamothioic S- or O acids. For the OCS + NH3 and OCS + MA reactions with or without the H2O or FA, very high barriers were observed, making these reactions unfeasible. Interestingly, the barrier heights for the OCS + DMA reaction, involving H-atom transfer to either the S-atom or O-atom of OCS and assisted by a FA, were found to be -4.2 kcal mol-1 and -3.9 kcal mol-1, respectively, relative to those of the separated reactants. The barrier height values suggest that FA lowers the reaction barriers by ∼28.4 kcal mol-1 and ∼35.9 kcal mol-1 compared to the OCS + DMA reaction without the catalyst. Rate coefficient calculations were performed on the OCS + DMA reaction both without a catalyst, and assisted by a H2O and a FA molecule using canonical variational transition state theory and small curvature tunneling at the temperatures between 200 and 300 K. The rate data show that the OCS + DMA + FA reaction proceeds through H-atom transfer to the S-atom of OCS, which was found to be ∼103-1011 and 103-1010 times faster than the OCS + DMA and OCS + DMA + H2O reactions, respectively, in the studied temperature range. For the same temperature range, the rate of the OCS + DMA + FA reaction was found to be ∼108-1016 and 103-1012 times faster than the OCS + DMA and OCS + DMA + H2O reactions in which H-atom transfer to the O-atom of OCS occurred. This suggests that the OCS + DMA reaction that is assisted by FA is more efficient than the H2O assisted reaction. In addition, the rate of the OCS + DMA + FA reaction was found to be ∼1010 times slower than the OCS + ˙OH reaction at 298 K. This clarifies that the OCS + DMA + FA reaction may be feasible for the atmospheric removal of OCS under night-time forest fire conditions when the OCS and DMA concentrations are high and the ˙OH concentration is low.

Abstract
Reaction of ammonia with N2O5, without and with the assistance of water, in the troposphere has been investigated by electronic structure and chemical kinetic calculations. The whole process has been compared against the hydrolysis reaction, uncatalyzed as well as water and ammonia catalyzed. A comparative study between hydrolysis and ammonolysis based on relative rates has been extensively carried out. The analysis reveals that ammonolysis has negligible practical atmospheric implication compared to hydrolysis. The former could have a significant contribution in tropospheric HNO3 formation only at 0 km altitude under two conditions: either on a local scale, where ammonia concentration could reach around a thousand times its global average value, or under very low humidity and at a lower temperature. Relative rate studies also suggest that the catalytic effect of both ammonia and water is negligibly small in determining the atmospheric fate of N2O5via gas phase hydrolysis and ammonolysis.

Abstract
The present work employs the CCSD(T)/CBS//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory to investigate the effect of a water monomer and dimer on the oxidation of carbon-monoxide by a Criegee intermediate (CH2OO). The present work suggests that in the presence of a water monomer the energy barrier of the title reaction reduced to ∼3.4 kcal mol-1 from the corresponding uncatalyzed barrier (∼12.4 kcal mol-1), whereas, in the presence of a water dimer it became as low as ∼-3.2 kcal mol-1. It has also been found that, in the presence of catalysts, additional channels become available from which the title reaction can proceed. The estimated values of rate constants suggest that within the temperature range of 210-320 K, the effective bimolecular rate constant for the water monomer catalyzed channel is 10 to 100 times lower than the bimolecular rate constant of the uncatalyzed channel, whereas in the case of the water dimer it is ∼5-10 times higher than that of the uncatalyzed channel.

Abstract
The reaction between CH2OO and 1Δg O2 has been investigated by means of high level quantum chemical and chemical kinetic calculations. Post-CCSD(T) corrections in terms of full triplets and partial quadratic excitations, along with core corrections have been employed to estimate the reaction energetics. The title reaction was found to be effectively barrierless with the transition state lying -22.85 kcal mol-1 below the isolated reactants. Rate coefficients under tropospheric conditions have been calculated using the master equation. The calculated rate coefficient was found to be marginally over the gas kinetic limit, implying that the reaction rate would be limited by the upper limit of bimolecular collision frequency. When compared against ˙OH and O3, 1O2 was found to compete efficiently with the two well known tropospheric oxidants.

Abstract
In the present work, the catalytic effect of ammonia and formic acid on the CH3O˙ + O2 reaction has been investigated employing the MN15L density functional. The investigations suggest that, in the presence of ammonia, the reaction can proceed through two different pathways, namely a single hydrogen atom transfer and a double hydrogen atom transfer path, but due to the high energy barrier associated with the double hydrogen atom transfer channel, it prefers the single hydrogen atom transfer channel. On the other hand, in the case of formic acid, only the single hydrogen atom transfer path is found to be feasible. Interestingly, it has been found that, in the presence of ammonia and formic acid, the reaction becomes a barrierless reaction. The calculated rate constant values at various temperatures indicate an anti-Arrhenius behavior for both the ammonia and formic acid catalyzed channels.

Abstract
Electronic structure calculations employing density functional theory have been used to study the effect of a single water molecule on the CH3O˙ + O2 → CH2O + HO2˙ reaction. The investigation suggests that in the presence of water the reaction barrier reduces from 3.01 kcal mol-1 to -1.86 kcal mol-1. Consequently, when we consider the bimolecular rate constants for the water catalyzed channel, they were found to be 104 to 105 times higher than that of the uncatalyzed reaction. Interestingly, the Arrhenius plot indicates a negative temperature dependency of the catalyzed channel (anti-Arrhenius behavior); as a result of this the domination of the catalyzed channel over the bare reaction increases with the lowering of the temperature. But the effective bimolecular rate constant values for the catalyzed channel were found to be approximately four orders of magnitude lower than that of the uncatalyzed one, which implies that the contribution of the catalyzed channels to the overall rate of the reaction is very small.

Abstract
Reaction of ammonia with SO3 as a potential source of sulfamic acid in the troposphere has been investigated by means of electronic structure and chemical kinetic calculations. Besides, the hydrolysis reaction, which is known to be a major atmospheric decay channel of SO3, has also been investigated. The catalytic effects of ammonia and water on both the reactions have been studied. Rate coefficients for all the studied reaction channels were calculated using the transition state theory employing pre-equilibrium approximation. Calculated rate coefficients for a number of catalyzed hydrolysis and ammonolysis processes were found to be much higher (by ∼105 to ∼109 times) than the gas kinetic limit at ambient temperature. With decrease in temperature because of negative temperature dependence of rate coefficients, that difference became even larger (up to ∼1016 times). Therefore, in order to remove the discrepancies, rate coefficients for all the studied reaction channels were calculated by means of the master equation. The results showed marked improvements, with only one channel showing a slightly higher rate coefficient above the gas kinetic limit. The rate coefficients for catalyzed channels obtained from the master equation also showed negative temperature dependence, albeit to a much smaller extent. The uncatalyzed ammonolysis reaction, similar to the corresponding hydrolysis, was found to be too slow to have any practical atmospheric implication. For both reactions, ammonia-catalyzed pathways have higher rate coefficients than water-catalyzed ones. Between hydrolysis and ammonolysis, the latter showed a higher rate coefficient. In spite of that, ammonolysis is expected to have negligible contribution in the tropospheric loss process of SO3 because of large difference in concentration values between water and ammonia in the troposphere.
