Computational Insights into Reaction Pathways for Chlorpyrifos and Chlorpyrifos-Methyl Toward Singlet Oxygen

Abstract

* We have proposed a detailed mechanism for the OH-initiated tropospheric decomposition of chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos-methyl.
* The direct reaction of these pesticides with singlet oxygen revealed an unprecedented pathway.
* The route for the reaction of chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos-methyl with oxygen called for a deeper understanding.
* Recently, singlet oxygen has been shown to play an important role in decomposition processes in the troposphere.

Olá, Prof. Josefredo. Obrigado pelo comentário! Cientes de tal correlação estática, confiamos, como uma primeira abordagem, na robustez do funcional duplo-híbrido PWPB95 para a correção das barreiras nas superfícies de energia livre (FES). Tal funcional possui o efeito de tratamento da correlação estática.
