Abstract:
:Chlorothiophenols (CTPs) are known to be key and direct precursors of polychlorinated thianthrene/dibenzothiophenes (PCTA/DTs). Self/cross-coupling of the chlorothiophenoxy radicals (CTPRs), sulfydryl-substituted phenyl radicals and thiophenoxyl diradicals evolving from CTPs are initial and important steps for PCTA/DT formation. In this study, quantum chemical calculations were carried out to investigate the homogenous gas-phase formation of PCTA/DTs from self/cross-coupling of 2,4-dichlorothiophenoxy radical (R1), 2-sulfydryl-3,5-dichlorophenyl radical (R2) and 3,5-dichlorothiophenoxyl diradical (DR) at the MPWB1K/6-311+G(3df,2p)//MPWB1K/6-31+G(d,p) level. The rate constants of crucial elementary steps were deduced over 600-1200 K, using canonical variational transition state theory with a small curvature tunneling contribution. For the formation of PCTAs, the S•/σ-C• condensation with both thiophenolic sulfur in one radical and ortho carbon in the other radical bonded to single electron is the most efficient sulfur-carbon coupling mode, and the ranking of the PCTA formation potential is DR + DR > R2 + DR > R1 + DR > R1 + R2 > R1 + R1. For the formation of PCDTs, the σ-C•/σ-C• coupling with both ortho carbon in the two radicals bonded to single electron is the energetically favored carbon-carbon coupling mode, and the ranking of the PCDT formation potential is: R2 + DR > R2 + R2 > R1 + DR > R1 + R2 > R1 + R1. The PCTA/DTs could be produced from R1, R2 and DR much more readily than PCDD/DFs from corresponding oxygen substituted radicals.
