A comprehensive investigation of the roles of acidic, neutral and basic catalysts in isomerization of methoxy radical in the troposphere has been carried out by quantum chemical calculations at the MP2 and CCSD(T) levels of theory. The effect of basic catalysts, namely ammonia and an ammonia–water complex, on the isomerization process has been studied for the very first time. In terms of rate coefficients ammonia was found to be a better catalyst than a water monomer whereas the ammonia–water complex was found to be more efficient over a water dimer but marginally less efficient than formic acid. Based on the effective rate constants under various tropospheric conditions, it was found that at 0 km altitude water dimers and ammonia–water complexes could compete with acid catalysts but at higher altitudes the acid catalysts would dominate their neutral and basic counterparts by a long distance.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
