Formation and Evolution of H2C3O+• Radical Cations: A Computational and Matrix Isolation Study
J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2022, 144, 18, 8115–8128
DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c00295

Abstrct
The family of isomeric H2C3O+• radical cations is of great interest for physical organic chemistry and chemistry occurring in extraterrestrial media. In this work, we have experimentally examined a unique synthetic route to the generation of H2C3O+• from the C2H2···CO intermolecular complex and also considered the relative stability and monomolecular transformations of the H2C3O+• isomers through high-level ab initio calculations. The structures, energetics, harmonic frequencies, hyperfine coupling constants, and isomerization pathways for several of the most important H2C3O+• isomers were calculated at the UCCSD(T) level of theory. The complementary FTIR and EPR studies in argon matrices at 5 K have demonstrated that the ionized C2H2···CO complex transforms into the E-HCCHCO+• isomer, and this latter species is supposed to be the key intermediate in further chemical transformations, providing a remarkable piece of evidence for kinetic control in low-temperature chemistry. Photolysis of this species at λ = 410–465 nm results in its transformation to the thermodynamically most stable H2CCCO+• isomer. Possible implications of the results and potentiality of the proposed synthetic strategy to the preparation of highly reactive organic radical cations are discussed.

Assembling of Metal-Polymer Nanocomposites in Irradiated Solutions of 1-Vinyl-1,2,4-triazole and Au(III) Ions: Features of Polymerization and Nanoparticles Formation
Polymers 2022, 14(21), 4601; DOI: 10.3390/polym14214601

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) stabilized with poly(1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole) (PVT) have been synthesized via a one-pot manner in irradiated solutions of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole (VT) and Au(III) ions. The transmission electron microscopy examinations have shown that the sizes of nanoparticles formed range from 1 to 11 nm and are affected by the ratio of VT to gold ions. To study the kinetics peculiarities of the VT polymerization and assembling of AuNPs, UV-Vis spectroscopy was used. The analysis of the data obtained reveals that an inhibition period, influenced by Au(III) concentration, is followed by the polymerization of a monomer. Importantly, the absorbed doses, corresponding to the onset of rapid polymerization, correlate with the doses at which the accelerated formation of AuNPs begins. The kinetics aspects, which could lead to such an effect, are discussed.

Direct evidence for formation of acetimidic acid and acetamide under irradiation of isolated acetonitrile-water complexes at cryogenic temperatures
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, stac3067, DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac3067

Abstract
In this work we report the first direct evidence for formation of the key simplest molecule with the peptide bond (acetamide) under radiation-induced transformations occurring in the CH3CN∙∙∙H2O complex isolated in an argon matrix at 6 K. The 1:1 CH3CN∙∙∙H2O intermolecular complex was obtained by deposition of CH3CN/H2O/Ar mixtures and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The irradiation of the icy matrix with X-rays results first in formation of acetimidic acid, which is transformed to acetamide at higher absorbed doses. In addition, the products of acetonitrile oxidation (hydroxyacetonitrile and acetonitrile N-oxide) have been detected, which probably originate from the reactions of “hot” radiation-induced oxygen atoms. The formation of acetamide was confirmed by deuterium isotopic substitution in acetonitrile. We believe that the observed transformation may be of basic importance for understanding the radiation-induced synthesis of prebiotic molecules in occurring in cold space media.

Direct evidence for a single-step radiation-induced assembling of benzene ring from acetylene trimer at cryogenic temperatures
Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2021, 183,109417.
DOI: 10.1016/j.radphyschem.2021.109417

Abstract
The discovery of carbon-rich species, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and fullerenes, in the space environment is among the most intriguing findings in molecular astrophysics and astrochemistry of the recent decades. The mechanism of their formation remains unclear and the one of the key issues is related to making “first ring”, i.e., formation of benzene from simple small molecules abundant in the outer space. Different routes involving C2, C3 and C4 hydrocarbons are considered in literature. Here we report the first direct evidence for a single-step radiation-induced formation of benzene from pre-existing isolated acetylene trimer occurring in frozen inert environment at very low temperature (6 K). The finding is based on the correlation between trimer decay and build-up of benzene as monitored by FTIR spectroscopy. This concerted pathway may be applicable to acetylene aggregates trapped in the bulky ices or in the grain pores and it emphasizes the importance of concept of molecular organization in the chemical history of the Universe.

Spectroscopy and radiation-induced chemistry of an atmospherically relevant CH2F2…H2O complex: Evidence for the formation of CF2…H2O complex as revealed by FTIR matrix isolation and ab initio study
Chemosphere, 291, 132967, 2022
DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132967

Abstract
Difluoromethane is considered among the environment friendly alternatives to the ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons. Due to its chemical inertness and lack of UV absorption above 200 nm, this compound can easily come to the upper layers forming complexes with widely abundant atmospheric components, such as water. The radiation-induced degradation of this compound and its complexes may be significant for reliable prediction of its long-term evolution in the environment as well as for development of new ways for its removal. In this work we have studied the vibrational spectroscopic properties and mechanisms of the radiation-induced decay of the CH2F2⋯H2O under the action of X-rays using matrix isolation FTIR spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. The IR spectrum of the complex in an argon matrix was characterized for the first time and assigned to a hydrogen-bonded structure with a binding energy of 11.1 kJ/mol (2.65 kcal/mol) (CCSD(T)/CBS level of theory). Complexation with water leads to a certain suppression of the efficiency of the radiation-induced decomposition of difluoromethane. The obtained results provide evidence for the radiation-induced formation of previously unreported CF2⋯H2O complex (in addition to other oxygen containing molecules, such as COF2 and CO). As demonstrated by calculations, the new difluorocarbene complex reveals a hydrogen bond and it is characterized by a binding energy of 5.73 kJ/mol (1.37 kcal/mol) (CCSD(T)/CBS level of theory).

Direct evidence for a radiation-induced synthesis of acetonitrile and isoacetonitrile from a 1 : 1 CH4⋯HCN complex at cryogenic temperatures: is it a missing link between inorganic and prebiotic astrochemistry?

Abstract
Nitriles are important constituents of extraterrestrial media. Nitriles are supposed to play a crucial role in prebiotic chemistry occurring in the interstellar medium. In this work, we have investigated the low-temperature radiation-induced transformations of a 1 : 1 CH4⋯HCN complex as a plausible precursor of the simplest nitriles using the matrix isolation approach with FTIR spectroscopic detection. The parent complexes isolated in a noble gas (Ng) matrix were obtained by deposition of the CH4/HCN/Ng gaseous mixture and characterized by comparison of experimental complexation-induced shifts of the HCN fundamentals with the results of the ab initio calculations. It was found that the X-ray irradiation of low-temperature matrices containing the isolated 1 : 1 CH4⋯HCN complex resulted in the formation of acetonitrile (CH3CN) and isoacetonitrile (CH3NC) and it appears to be the first experimental evidence for the formation of C2 nitriles (acetonitrile and isoacetonitrile) from such a “building block”. Additionally, a 1 : 1 CH4⋯HNC complex was tentatively assigned to the irradiated Ar and Kr matrices. It is demonstrated that the matrix has a strong effect on the CH3CN/CH3NC yield ratio, which dramatically increases in the row Ar < Kr < Xe. Also, the efficiency of the radiation-induced formation of the CH4⋯HNC complex was shown to decrease from Ar to Kr. It is believed that the proposed pathway for acetonitrile formation may be a significant step in the radiation-induced evolution leading to complex organic molecules and biomolecules under astrochemical conditions. Furthermore, the obtained results provide a prominent example of the impact of very weak intermolecular interactions on the radiation-induced transformations in cold media.

MATRIX ISOLATION IN LABORATORY ASTROCHEMISTRY: STATE-OF-THE-ART, IMPLICATIONS AND PERSPECTIVE
RUSS CHEM REV, 90, 2021. DOI: 10.1070/RCR4995

Abstract
Recent progress in observational astronomy and astrophysics has stimulated the intensive laboratory studies aimed at elucidation of the mechanisms of evolution of molecular matter in interstellar space and various space objects. One of the most intriguing and rapidly developing areas of these studies is the so-called “cold astrochemistry” devoted to the complex processes occurring in astrophysical ices. In this context, the matrix isolation technique (known for decades) is a very useful approach for both interpretings the results of astrophysical observations and verifying possible mechanisms of key astrochemical processes. This review outlines the most important results of recent studies using matrix isolation technique, which contribute to the solution of the problems of “cold astrochemistry” in two main aspects: (i) spectroscopy of astrochemical important molecules, ions and radicals stabilized in cryogenic matrices; (ii) experimental modeling of mechanisms of radiation-induced and “in dark” chemical reactions occurring in “cold” space environments (interstellar, cometary and planetary ices). In the first aspect, special attention is paid to new spectroscopic data obtained using various methods (electronic and vibrational absorption spectroscopy, electronic paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy). In the second aspect, we consider the chemical effects resulting from both direct excitation of isolated molecules and the transfer of energy initially absorbed by the medium. Special attention is paid to recent studies of spectroscopic characteristics and radiation-induced evolution of matrix-isolated weak intermolecular complexes, which can be considered as “building blocks” for the cold synthesis of complex molecules in the absence of diffusion mobility. In addition, we consider the use of matrix isolation for the studies of low-temperature chemical reactions “in dark” involving atoms and highly reactive intermediates, which can occur in cold space environments. In the final part, we briefly discuss the applicability of the results of matrix isolation experiments for interpretation of the mechanisms in molecular ices and highlight the prospects of this field. The review can also be useful for the specialists in various aspects of chemistry and chemical physics (radiation chemistry, photochemistry, molecular spectroscopy, low-temperature chemistry). The bibliography includes 379 references.

C2H2∙∙∙СO complex and its radiation-induced transformations: a building block for cold synthetic astrochemistry
MN RAS 2021 stab1820. DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab1820

Abstract
In this work we have examined the radiation-induced synthetic chemistry occurring in an astrochemically important C2H2–CO system at the molecular level using a matrix isolation approach. The 1:1 C2H2∙∙∙CO intermolecular complex of linear structure was obtained in the solid low-temperature (5 K) noble gas matrices by deposition of the C2H2/CO/Ng (Ng = Ar, Kr, Xe) gaseous mixtures and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It was found that the X-ray radiolysis of the C2H2∙∙∙CO complex resulted in formation of C3O (tricarbon monoxide), HCCCHO (propynal), c-H2C3O (cyclopropenone), H2CCCO (propadienone), and HC3O (oxoprorynyl radical). This means that the studied complex may be considered as the simplest building block (or minimal size of intermolecular reactor) for cold astrochemistry occurring in mixed interstellar ices. Remarkably, the discovered transformations of the complex actually represent synthetic routes leading to various C3 species, whereas the acetylenic C–H bond cleavage yielding ethynyl radical appears to be a minor process. Prolonged irradiation results in dehydrogenation, while the C3 skeleton is retained. The interpretation of the C2H2∙∙∙CO radiolysis mechanism (possible reactions pathways) is provided based on the analysis of kinetic curves and matrix effect. Astrochemical implications of the results are discussed.

Radiation-induced synthesis of formic acid in the H2O–CO system: A matrix isolation study
Chem. Phys. Lett. 2020 753, 137540. DOI: 10.1016/j.cplett.2020.137540

Abstract
X-radiolysis of the noble-gas matrices containing both H2O and CO was investigated at 5 K using infrared spectroscopy. It was found that formic acid molecule (HCOOH) could be produced from the matrix-isolated H2O⋯CO complexes, either directly as a result of irradiation or upon the subsequent annealing activating the trans-HOCO + H reaction. The former way was observed in Kr, while the latter one in Xe matrix. Matrix-specific behavior and possible astrochemical implications are discussed.

Controlled radiation-chemical synthesis of metal polymer nanocomposites in the films of interpolyelectrolyte complexes: Principles, prospects and implications
Rad. Phys. Chem. 2020 169, 108076. DOI: 10.1016/j.radphyschem.2018.11.030

Abstract
The radiation-chemical synthesis of metal nanoparticles embedded into polymer matrices is an effective tool for preparation of the composite materials with very useful functional properties. This paper presents a review of an original approach to a single-step production of such materials via the radiation-induced reduction of the interpolyelectrolyte complex (IPEC) films containing metal ions under heterogeneous conditions, including the most recent results, and analysis of the prospects of this approach and its implications. First, the properties of IPECs as precursors for nanocomposites are briefly considered. Particular impact is given to the mechanistic aspects and principles of control of the nanoparticle formation and assembling at different stages. A common procedure of the radiation-chemical synthesis of metal polymer nanocomposites in the IPEC matrices implies irradiation of swollen films in an aqueous – organic environment. The kinetics of ion reduction and formation of nanoparticles was monitored by EPR and optical spectroscopy, whereas the obtained nanocomposites were characterized by TEM and diffraction methods. Using IPEC matrices allows us to reveal different stages of formation of metal nanostructures over a wide range of absorbed doses. Furthermore, it is possible to manipulate the processes of nucleation and growth of nanoparticles using both physical and chemical factors. Different kinds of radiation (e-beams, γ- and X-rays) were used in the experiments. It was shown that the penetration depth, dose rate and total absorbed dose had strong effect on the effect on nanoparticle size and their spatial distribution. The most striking feature were found for the processes induced by X-ray radiation. Detailed studies of this particular case revealed a very interesting effect described as radiation-chemical contrast, which is manifested by local intensification of the radiation-induced processes in the vicinity of existing nanoparticles. In addition to metal nanoparticles of different transition and noble metals, it was possible to obtain the bimetallic nanostructures within the IPEC matrix. Such nanocomposites may be potentially used as optical and magnetic materials, sensors, bactericide and fungicide products. The possibility of variation of nanoparticle size and specific properties of the IPEC films is crucially important for particular applications.

Reactions of radiation-induced electrons with carbon dioxide in inert cryogenic films: matrix tuning of the excess electron interactions in solids
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2020 22, 14155. DOI: 10.1039/D0CP01578D

Abstract
A single-electron reduction of carbon dioxide is supposed to be an important basic step in various processes, ranging from interstellar chemistry to photocatalytic transformations. In this work, we report an FTIR spectroscopic study on the reactions of carbon dioxide (12CO2 and 13CO2) with the radiation-induced excess electrons in deposited cryogenic matrices with different physical characteristics (Ne, N2, Ar, Xe) occurring at 6 K. The reaction was monitored by the observation of carbon dioxide radical anions. It was found that attachment of excess electrons to CO2 occurred in neon and nitrogen matrices, but not in argon and xenon. In the case of nitrogen, the formation of matrix-related cationic species (N4+˙ and NNCO+˙) was also observed. Since the CO2 molecules have a negative intrinsic electron affinity, it was suggested that the electron attachment to CO2 is controlled by the energy of excess electrons in the solid matrix, which is determined by the value of the corresponding conduction band bottom energy (V0). The implications of the obtained results are discussed.

Carbene-insertion noble gas compounds: FKrCF and FXeCF
Chem. Phys. Lett. 2020 744, 137211. DOI: 10.1016/j.cplett.2020.137211

Abstract
FKrCF and FXeCF were synthetized in solid krypton and xenon matrices at cryogenic temperatures. These molecules representing a new class of noble-gas compounds are formed as a result of reaction between mobile F atoms and trapped CF fragment in solid Kr and Xe, which occur after X-ray radiolysis of CH2F2 in the corresponding matrices. The assignment was based on comparison with previously published computational data (Chopra et al., Chem. Phys., 2017, 494, 20) and the results of additional quantum chemical calculations. New molecules were found to be sensitive to near-IR, visible and UV light.

Radiation-induced chemistry in the C2H2–H2O system at cryogenic temperatures: a matrix isolation study
MN RAS 2020 491, 4, 5140-5150. DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz3228


Abstract
Investigations of the low-temperature radiation-induced transformations in the C2H2–H2O system are relevant to the chemistry occurring in interstellar and cometary ices. In this work, we applied a matrix isolation technique to study the radiation-driven evolution of this system at molecular level in order to get new mechanistic insight. The 1:1 C2H2⋅ ⋅ ⋅H2O complexes were prepared in various solid noble-gas matrices (Ar, Kr, Xe) and these icy matrices were subjected to X-ray irradiation at 5 K. Decomposition of initial complex and formation of products were monitored by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It was found that complexation with H2O resulted in significant enhancement of the radiolytic decay of C2H2 molecules and provided new channels for its radiation-induced transformations. Ketene (both isolated H2CCO and in the form of H2CCO–H2 pair), ketenyl radical (HCCO), carbon monoxide (CO), and methane (CH4) were observed as main products of the C2H2⋅ ⋅ ⋅H2O radiolysis. In addition, vinyl alcohol (CH2CHOH) was detected in an Ar matrix. The mechanistic interpretation (reaction routes leading to formation of these products) is discussed on the basis of consideration of kinetic dependences and matrix effects. Conversion of C2H2⋅ ⋅ ⋅H2O to CH4 is a prominent example of water-mediated cleavage of the C≡C triple bond, which may occur under prolonged irradiation in rigid media. Possible astrochemical implications of the obtained results are highlighted.

Hafnium Oxide as a Nanoradiosensitizer under X-ray Irradiation of Aqueous Organic Systems: A Model Study Using the Spin-Trapping Technique and Monte Carlo Simulations
J. Phys. Chem. C, 123, 45, 27375–27384, 2019
DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpcc.9b08387

Abstract
The development of the physicochemical basis for applications of nanoradiosensitizers for targeted treatment of tumors is one of the crucial issues of modern radiotherapy. Ceramic nanoparticles (NPs) composed of heavy metal oxides are considered as prospective sensitizers, particularly for X-ray treatment. This study reports a novel approach for experimental simulations of the radiosensitizing effect of NPs in biomimetic systems based on the quantification of radicals produced from organic components in concentrated aqueous organic solutions using the spin-trapping technique with electron paramagnetic resonance detection. This approach was first applied to X-ray irradiation (45 kVp) of aqueous methanol solutions systems containing different concentrations of hafnium oxide nanoparticles with an average diameter of ca. 84 nm (up to 1.8 wp). It was found that the amount of radicals produced from methanol at the same exposition time increased linearly with the increasing content of HfO2 NPs. The effect can be reasonably explained by the physical enhancement mechanism associated with efficient transfer of absorbed energy from the NPs to aqueous organic medium. The Monte Carlo simulations were applied to calculate the absorbed dose in the studied systems as a function of NP concentration. The experimental enhancement factor in the formation of radicals (0.71 wp–1) was found to be slightly lower than the calculated coefficient of the absorbed dose enhancement (0.80 wp–1), which can be explained by partial self-absorption of generated secondary electrons inside rather bulky HfO2 nanoparticles. The proposed model approach may provide a rational ground for comparative studies of different nanoradiosensitizers and the optimization of the NP size, photon energy, and other factors.

Formation and interconversion of CCN and CNC radicals resulting from the radiation-induced decomposition of acetonitrile in solid noble gas matrices
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 21, 13014-13021, 2019
DOI: 10.1039/C8CP07896C

Abstract
Acetonitrile and the species resulting from its dehydrogenation play an important role in the radiation-induced evolution of organic matter in the space environment. In this work, we report on FTIR spectroscopic studies of the degradation of isolated CH3CN and CD3CN molecules induced by prolonged X-ray irradiation in solid noble gas matrices at 5 K. The principal products observed at high conversion degree of the parent acetonitrile molecules (70–90%) are CCN and CNC radicals, which result from prompt or two-step dehydrogenation of the corresponding precursors, H2CN and CH2NC radicals, respectively. CHCN and CHNC were also found as products of dehydrogenation at high absorbed doses, whereas the fragmentation products (CH3, CN, HCN, and HNC) were detected only in minor amounts over the whole dose range studied. CCN and CNC are produced in nearly equal amounts at high absorbed doses. Selective isomerization of CCN to CNC was observed under the illumination with visible light (460–470 nm), while subsequent action of the UV light (254 nm) induced reverse transformation leading to a photostationary state with the relative population of CNC/CCN being ca. 0.7. The astrochemical implications of the obtained results are discussed in connection with the recent discovery of CCN in extraterrestrial objects.

Conformational Switching of HOCO Radical: Selective Vibrational Excitation and Hydrogen-Atom Tunneling
J. Am. Chem. Soc., 139, 28, 9551–9557, 2017
DOI: 10.1021/jacs.7b02605

Abstract
Conformers of carboxyl radical (HOCO) have been studied by IR spectroscopy in argon and nitrogen matrices. In an argon matrix, only the lower-energy conformer trans-HOCO is observed, whereas both cis and trans conformers are found for deuterated carboxyl radical DOCO. In a nitrogen matrix, both conformers of HOCO and DOCO isotopologues can be prepared, indicating strong stabilization of the higher-energy cis conformer by a nitrogen matrix. Selective vibrational excitation promotes the trans-to-cis and cis-to-trans conversions of DOCO in an argon matrix and HOCO and DOCO in a nitrogen matrix, which is the first conformational photoswitching of an open-shell species. In a nitrogen matrix, the cis-to-trans and trans-to-cis conversions of HOCO is also found upon broadband IR light of the spectrometer, and the ratio of the quantum yields of these processes is about 3.3. The photoswitching peculiarities are in agreement with the available theoretical energy barriers. The higher-energy cis conformer decays to the lower-energy trans conformer via hydrogen-atom tunneling through the torsional barrier, which is also a unique observation for an open-shell species. The tunneling mechanism of the cis-to-trans switching is supported by the low-temperature limit of the reaction rate and by the H/D kinetic isotope effect. Our results suggest a large difference in the H/D kinetic isotope effects in nitrogen and argon matrices (∼5 and >100, respectively). The stabilizing effect on cis-DOCO by a nitrogen matrix (by 2 orders of magnitude versus an argon matrix) is much smaller than that on cis-HOCO (estimated to be >104).

Communication: A hydrogen-bonded difluorocarbene complex: Ab initio and matrix isolation study
J. Chem. Phys. 147, 131102, 2017
DOI: 10.1063/1.4999772

Abstract
Structure and spectroscopic features of the CF2⋯HF complexes were studied by ab initio calculations at the CCSD(T) level and matrix isolation FTIR spectroscopy. The calculations predict three stable structures. The most energetically favorable structure corresponds to hydrogen bonding of HF to the lone pair of the C atom (the interaction energy of 3.58 kcal/mol), whereas two less stable structures are the H⋯F bonded complexes (the interaction energies of 0.30 and 0.24 kcal/mol). The former species was unambiguously characterized by the absorptions in the FTIR spectra observed after X-ray irradiation of fluoroform in a xenon matrix at 5 K. The corresponding features appear at 3471 (H–F stretching), 1270 (C–F symmetric stretching, shoulder), 1175 (antisymmetric C–F stretching), and 630 (libration) cm−1, in agreement with the computational predictions. To our knowledge, it is the first hydrogen-bonded complex of dihalocarbene. Possible weaker manifestations of the H⋯F bonded complexes were also found in the C–F stretching region; however, their assignment is tentative. The H⋯C bonded complex is protected from reaction yielding a fluoroform molecule by a remarkably high energy barrier (23.85 kcal/mol), so it may be involved in various chemical reactions.
