A detailed kinetic study on the tautomerization reactions of barbituric acid (BA) at elevated temperatures from 270 K up to 1000 K was performed in this work. The B3LYP/6-311 + G(3df,2p) density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to evaluate the rate constants of transition states (TS) conversions of the tautomerization reactions. The connections from a given TS to the corresponding local minima of the reactant and product sides were confirmed by means of employing the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) method. Moreover, the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) approach was employed to analyze the molecular mechanisms of reactions. The effects of vibrational normal mode frequencies of the reactant and TS were investigated on the curvature of the corresponding Arrhenius plot in the presence and absence of the tunneling effect. For each tautomerization reaction, the investigated reaction was partitioned into three different stages and four zones. The obtained results were plotted along with the corresponding reaction coordinates for each reaction considering and comparing different factors in agreement with already affirmed concepts. As a consequence, details of performed kinetic study on the tautomerization reactions of BA were successfully provided in this work.
The kinetics of tautomerization reactions of thiobarbituric acid were thoroughly investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,2p) level of theory and elevated temperatures from 260 to 1000 K. The kinetic parameters were determined by employing canonical variational transition state theory (CVT). The quantum tunneling effect was included by centrifugal-dominant small-curvature semiclassical adiabatic ground-state approximation method. Intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) analysis was performed to certify a unique connection from an obtained transition state configuration to optimized structures of reactant and products. The reaction forces and reaction force constants were computed across the IRC of each reaction. Then, using extremums of reaction forces, each reaction was partitioned into three stages containing reactant, transition state, and product stages. The extent of reactions was followed along with three reaction stages. The dependence of kinetic parameters and curvature of Arrhenius plots on temperature were investigated and discussed in the framework of CVT. To further unveil the mechanism of the reactions, the quantum theory of atoms in molecules was employed. To do this aim, QTAIM descriptors on the bond critical point (BCP) of involved bonds including the density of electrons, Laplacian of the density of electrons, Lagrangian kinetic energy, potential energy, and energy density were computed and surveyed along with reaction extent through IRC.
Graphene oxide has a great potential as a suitable material for anodic sodium ion battery (NIBs) due to its unique behavior. The calculated reversible of lithium ion capacity of GO/ Li & Na / GO based anodic materials are widely improved comparing to the conventional graphite-based anodic materials. By this investigation GO sheets have been localized into the graphene as an item for enhancing electrochemical & Physical ratio. Moreover, the structure of GO/Li& Na/GO can be used for improving the capacities and electronics transport in the GO sheets-based NIBs. Therefore, these modifications of GO sheet and designing of GO/Li & Na/GO structures provide a strategy for increasing the performance of GO-based anode. GO/Li & Na/GO could also be accomplished into the free-standing anodes without any of binders or current's collectors, which will leads to increased energies densities of overall battery's designing.
