1) Defined Endpoint: Rate constant for the atmospheric, gas-phase reaction between photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and organic chemicals at 25 °C.
2) Unambiguous algorithm: The molecule is separated into distinct fragments. The reaction rate constant for hydroxyl radicals are the summation of the following mechanisms:
Hydrogen Abstraction = 2.2097 E-12 cm³/molecule-sec
Reaction with N, S and -OH = 0.2800 E-12 cm³/molecule-sec
Addition to Triple Bonds = 0.0000 E-12 cm³/molecule-sec
Addition to Olefinic Bonds = 0.0000 E-12 cm³/molecule-sec
**Addition to Aromatic Rings = 38.3681 E-12 cm³/molecule-sec
Addition to Fused Rings = 0.0000 E-12 cm³/molecule-sec
** Designates Estimation(s) Using ASSUMED Value(s)
As depending on the structure of the substance, OH-radicals generally react by one or more of the above mentioned pathways, the result of 40.9 E-12 cm³/molecule-sec for each mechanism indicate that these mechanisms are not relevant for the substance of interest. An "assumed value" is applied, showing that a structure fragment that has not been assigned a numeric value by the developer of the estimation methods used by AOPWIN or derived explicitly from experimental values.
OH Addition to Aromatic Rings Calculation:
Es+ = sipso+(-CL) + sp+(-CL) + sm+(-CL) + sp+(-CL) + sm+(-C(=O)- **) + sp+(-C(=O)- **) + = 1.336
Es+ = sp+(-CL) + sipso+(-CL) + sp+(-CL) + sm+(-CL) + sp+(-C(=O)- **) + sm+(-C(=O)- **) + = 1.336
Es+ = sm+(-CL) + sp+(-CL) + sipso+(-CL) + sp+(-CL) + sm+(-C(=O)- **) + sp+(-C(=O)- **) + = 1.336
Es+ = sp+(-CL) + sm+(-CL) + sp+(-CL) + sipso+(-CL) + sp+(-C(=O)- **) + sm+(-C(=O)- **) + = 1.336
Es+ = sm+(-CL) + sp+(-CL) + sm+(-CL) + sp+(-CL) + sipso+(-C(=O)- **) + sp+(-C(=O)- **) + = 1.336
Es+ = sp+(-CL) + sm+(-CL) + sp+(-CL) + sm+(-CL) + sp+(-C(=O)- **) + sipso+(-C(=O)- **) + = 1.336
Most negative Es+ = 1.336
Log Kar = -11.71 - 1.34(Es+) cm³/molecule-sec
Ring #1 Kar = 0.0316 E-12 cm³/molecule-sec
TOTAL Kar = 0.0316 E-12 cm³/molecule-sec
Note: The bimolecular rate constant karom is expressed as Kar by the program.
The single results for OH addition shows that for the fragment –C(=O)- an assumed value of 0.75 is applied. This value is found in the list of all fragment and reaction values, provided by the program.
3) Applicability domain:
Currently there is no universally accepted definition of model domain.
Due to the fragment-based approach of AOPWIN, estimation is adequate as the fragments present in the molecule are available in the list of all fragment and reaction values provided by the program.
4) Statistical characteristics:
The correlation includes 667 compounds; most experimental values containing a "less than" sign (<) were excluded.
correlation coefficient (r²) 0.963; standard deviation (sd in log units) 0.218; absolute mean error (me) 0.127
5) Mechanistic interpretation:
The reaction values and fragments for the reaction with OH-radicals used as descriptors reflect the most important mechanisms of indirect phototransformation processes possible in the troposphere.
Adequacy of prediction:
The estimation rules applied for the substance appears appropriate.
The predicted result for 6.6`-Di-tert.-butyl-2.2`-methylenedi-p-cresol can be considered reliable yielding a useful result for further assessment.
