Abstract:
The persistent free radical content in petroleum is of the order 1018 spins/g (1 μmol/g), with higher and lower values found depending on origin and in different distillation fractions. The field of persistent free radicals in petroleum was reviewed with the aim of addressing and explaining apparent inconsistencies between free radical persistence and reactivity. The macroscopic average free radical concentration in petroleum is persistent over geological time, but individual free radical species in petroleum are short-lived and reactive. The persistent free radical concentration in petroleum can be explained in terms of a dynamic reaction equilibrium of free radical dissociation and association that causes a finite number of species at any given time to be present as free radicals. Evidence to support this description are observed changes in free radical concentration related to change in Gibbs free energy when the bulk liquid properties are changed and responsiveness of free radical concentration to dynamic changes in temperature. Cage effects, solvent effects, steric protection, and radical stabilization affect free radical reaction rate but do not explain the persistent free radical concentration in petroleum. The difference between persistent free radicals in straight-run petroleum and converted petroleum is that straight-run petroleum is an equilibrated mixture, but converted petroleum is not at equilibrium and the free radical concentration can change over time. Based on the limited data available, free radicals in straight-run petroleum appear to be part of the compositional continuum proposed by Altgelt and Boduszynski. Persistent free radical species are partitioned during solvent classification of whole oil, with the asphaltenes (n-alkane insoluble) fraction having a higher concentration of persistent free radicals than maltenes (n-alkane soluble) fraction. Attempts to relate persistent free radical concentration to petroleum composition were inconclusive.

Abstract:
Free radicals imply that every atom, molecule, ion, group of atoms, or molecules with one or several non-paired electrons in outer orbital. Among these are: nitrogenoxide (NO?), superoxide-anion-radical (O2?-), hydroxyl radical (OH?), peroxyl radical (ROO?), alcoxyl radical (RO?) and hydroperoxyl radical (HO2?). However, reactive oxygen species also include components without non-paired electrons in outer orbital (so-called reactive non-radical agents), such as: singlet oxygen (1O2), peroxynitrite (ONOO-), hydrogen-peroxide (H2O2), hypochloric acid (eg. HOCl) and ozone (O3). High concentrations of free radicals lead to the development of oxidative stress which is a precondition for numerous pathological effects. However, low and moderate concentrations of these matter, which occur quite normally during cell metabolic activity, play multiple significant roles in many reactions. Some of these are: regulation of signal pathways within the cell and between cells, the role of chemoattractors and leukocyte activators, the role in phagocytosis, participation in maintaining, changes in the position and shape of the cell, assisting the cell during adaption and recovery from damage (e.g.caused by physical effort), the role in normal cell growth, programmed cell death (apoptosis) and cell ageing, in the synthesis of essential biological compounds and energy production, as well as the contribution to the regulation of the vascular tone, actually, tissue vascularization.

Abstract:
This study was conducted to investigate the levels of oxygen free radicals and related health factors in 201 female nursing students. The questionnaire was completed by the participants and their oxygen free radical levels were measured by urine test. In this study, an oxygen free radical analyzer was used to measure oxygen free radical levels. The oxygen free radical analyzer analyzes the amount of oxygen free radicals in the body by measuring urinary malondialdehyde (MDA). To determine factors associated with oxygen free radical levels, multiple regression tests were conducted. Of the participants, 89.6% exhibited normal levels of oxygen free radicals and 10.4% had elevated levels. In this study, the factors that affected oxygen free radical levels were eating habit (β = .20, p =. 003), fatigue (β = .20, p = .004), and detox necessity (β = .18, p = .006). In order to lower oxygen free radical levels of female nursing students, the areas of eating habit, fatigue, and detox must receive increased focus.

Abstract:
The derivation of kinetic equations for the oxidation processes by the free-radical nonbranched-chain mechanism is shown. This derivation is based on the proposed reaction scheme for the initiated addition of free radicals to the multiple bond of the molecular oxygen includes the addition reaction of the peroxyl free radical to the oxygen molecule to form the tetraoxyl free radical. This reaction competes with chain propagation reactions through a reactive free radical. The chain evolution stage in this scheme involves a few of free radicals, one of which – alkyl(or hydro)tetraoxyl – is relatively low-reactive and inhibits the chain process by shortening of the kinetic chain length. The rate equations (containing one to three parameters to be determined directly) are deduced using the quasi-steady-state treatment. These kinetic equations were used to describe the γ-induced nonbranched-chain processes of free-radical oxidation of liquid o-xylene at 373 K and hydrogen dissolved in water containing various amounts of oxygen at 296 K. The ratios of rate constants of competing reactions and rate constants of addition reactions to the molecular oxygen are defined. In these processes the oxygen with the increase of its concentration begins to act as an oxidation autoinhibitor (or an antioxidant), and the rate of peroxide formation as a function of the dissolved oxygen concentration has a maximum. It is shown that a maximum in these curves arises from the competition between hydrocarbon (or hydrogen) molecules and dioxygen for reacting with the emerging peroxyl 1:1 adduct radical. From the energetic standpoint possible nonchain pathways of the free-radical oxidation of hydrogen and the routes of ozone decay via the reaction with the hydroxyl free radical in the upper atmosphere (including the addition yielding the hydrotetraoxyl free radical, which can be an intermediate in the sequence of conversions of biologically hazardous UV radiation energy) were examined. The energetics of the key radical-molecule gas-phase reactions is considered.

Abstract:
Abundant evidence now is available that free radicals are produced in excess when myocardium is reperfused following an episode of ischemia and that free radicals can injure myocytes and endothelial cells. Free radicals may contribute to either reversible or irreversible manifestations of cell injury from ischemia and reperfusion. Several investigators have observed that postischemic contractile dysfunction (myocardial stunning) can be attenuated by a variety of anti-free radical therapies, and there seems to be general agreement that free radical injury contributes to stunning. Whether free radicals are an important cause of lethal myocyte injury (“lethal reperfusion injury”) remains controversial. Using similar interventions and animal models, both positive and negative results have been reported from a growing number of studies done to test the effect of anti-free radical therapies on infarct size. Proposed explanations include differences in: 1) dose of drug and onset or duration of treatment, 2) duration of occlusion or reperfusion, 3) methods of measuring infarct size or area at risk, and 4) failure of some studies to control for baseline variation in the major determinants of infarct size, e.g., collateral blood flow. At present, none of these explanations seems sufficient to resolve the question.

Abstract:
This thesis primarily details the application of high-level ab initio quantum chemistry techniques in order to understand aspects of free-radical mediated protein oxidation. Traditionally, product analysis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy are the primary means for elucidating the chemistry of protein oxidation. However, in experiments involving relatively small proteins reacting with a controlled radical-flux, a vast array of compounds can be produced, which are often difficult to analyse. Quantum chemical techniques on the other hand, can calculate the properties of any particular species directly, without suffering from the problems associated with experiment, such as side-reactions and chain processes. The results presented in this thesis are aimed at elucidating mechanistic details of protein oxidation, which might otherwise be difficult to probe experimentally. Chapter 1 gives an overview of the free-radical hypothesis of disease and ageing. Protein-derived radicals can undergo a variety of reactions, with the particular reaction that occurs depending on numerous aspects. Many types of reactions have been identified through radiolysis experiments of amino acids, and these are detailed in this chapter. In addition, the key reactive species are characterized and their different chemistries explained. Chapter 2 details the theoretical tools used throughout this thesis. Species with unpaired electrons (radicals) present unique problems for quantum chemistry to handle, thus an appropriate choice of theoretical technique is needed. The approach taken in this thesis is to use high-level compound methods, many of which have been directly formulated to give improved results for radical species, to provide benchmark quality results by which other less demanding techniques can be assessed. During the course of this study, it became apparent there was a void in the armoury of tools that could be used for the theoretical chemistry calculations. Chapter 3 details the formulation of a new tool in an attempt to fill this gap. Historically, the formulation of this new procedure came after much of the work in this thesis had been carried out. Thus, for the study of many of the reactions of this thesis the new method has not been used. However, it is most appropriate to place its formulation after summarizing the current status of techniques in common use today. Chapters 4 and 5 detail computations carried out on models of peptides containing backbone carbon- and nitrogen-centered radicals. A number of different theoretical techniques are used in these chapters, ranging from the highly accurate and computationally intensive to the less reliable and less demanding. The highly accurate techniques are used to gauge the accuracy of the other less demanding theoretical techniques so that the latter can be used with confidence in larger systems. Not only is the choice of theoretical technique important but also the judicious choice of model is essential. With this in mind, models are incrementally built until convergence of the particular property of interest is reached. Chapters 6 and 7 detail the calculations of β-scission reactions of alkoxyl radicals, which are a particular class of reaction known to occur on peptide backbones. Alkoxyl radicals are particularly difficult for theory to describe correctly. Therefore, Chapter 6 extensively assesses and then identifies the theoretical methods needed to portray them. Chapter 7 uses the techniques identified in the previous chapter in order to predict how the preference for a particular type of β-scission reaction changes.

The results indicate a decreased rate of addition by both diphenylphosphinyl and dimethoxyphosphinyl radicals to cyclic versus acyclic alkenes. In contrast to cyclic alkenes, both these phosphorus-centred radicals add readily to the triple bond of phenylacetylene. The stereochemistry of the addition of diphenyiphosphinyl and dimethoxyphosphinyl radicals and of the aminoxyl trap is discussed. The stereochemistry of the addition of benzoyloxyl radicals to a conformationally rigid alkene, trans-a2-octalin is reported. Attempts to examine the initiation mechanism in the free radical copolymerisation of styrene/maleic anhydride and of styrene/tetracyanoethylene utilising the aminoxyl radical trapping technique are described.

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the mechanisms involved in cellulosedegradation in general and Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) bleachingof pulp in particular. The thesis shows that the cellulosedegradation during high consistency ozone bleaching is explainedby free radical chain reactions.

By simulation, it has been shown that the number, weight andviscosity average of liner polymer chain length can be used tocalculate the number of random scissions in a linear polymer ofany molecular weight distribution, provided that there is acalibrated Mark-Houwink equation. A model describing partialdegradation of molecular weight distributions of linear polymersmeasured with viscometry was developed and verifiedexperimentally. The model predicts viscometric measurement ofchemical cellulose degradation by a rapidly reacting reagent tobe strongly dependent on cellulose accessibility.

The role of free radical reactions in cellulose degradationwas studied by varying the amount of ferrous ions and ozone addedto the cotton linters. The result was compared to the resultsobtained from cellulose of lower crystallinity (cellulose beads)by measuring average chain length. When a ferryl ion reacted withcotton linters in the presence of ozone, the very formation ofone glycosidic radical was more significant to degradation thanthe final step of forming one oxidised glycoside. The inefficientdegradation observed of the oxidation step is explainable by theamount of accessible glycosides being too small to influenceviscometry. The efficient degradation observed in associationwith the glycosidic radical formation is explained by initiationof free radical chain reactions that are propagated as long asthere is ozone in the system. As none of these phenomena werefound in the less crystalline cellulose, cellulose structureappears to be important for how free radical mediated cellulosedegradation develops.

The theory of free radical chain reactions coupled withdiffusion suggests a concentric expansion of the chain reactionsoutwards from the initial site of radical formation duringozonation of carbohydrates. This was confirmed by demonstratingfree radical chain reactions spreading from a spot of initiationoutwards during ozonation of a filter paper, using a pH-indicatorto monitor acid formation. Furthermore, the interior and exteriorof cellulose fibres doped with initiator were shown to bepermeated by small holes after ozonation.

Ethylene glycol was shown to improve the selectivity duringozone bleaching of oxygen bleached kraft pulp at pH 3. Optimalconditions were obtained at pH 3 for 25 wt% ethylene glycol. Theinfluence of ethylene glycol on selectivity is explained by aproportion of the free radical chain reactions being carried bythe ethylene glycol instead of the cellulose during ozonebleaching. The observations were summarised in the form of amodel where the observed degradations for pulp, bleached pulp andcotton fibres during both ozone bleaching and ethylene glycolassisted ozone bleaching were shown to agree with each other.

From g-irradiation of ozonised aqueous solutions of alcohol,the rate constant of superoxide formation from the peroxylradical of methanol was estimated to be 10 s-1. Rate constants of the reactions between ozone andalkylperoxyl radicals were determined to be around 104M-1s-1. The possibility of the reaction betweenalkylperoxyl radicals and ozone contributing significantly tofree radical chain reactions during ozonation of carbohydratesand alcohols could therefore be ruled out.

Abstract:
Geminate free radical recombination is an important testing ground for current theories of chemical reaction dynamics in liquids. The work described here deals with the recombination of phenyl thiyl radicals in liquid hydrocarbons. Photolysis of diphenyl disulfides using near-ultraviolet light generates thiyl radicals which are detected by picosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. We find that the rate and extent of cage recombination is controlled by solvent viscosity and by the dipole-dipole reorientation energy of a polar radical pair. In moderately viscous liquids such as decalin, for example, cage recombination occurs with a 50% yield and with a half-life of ~150 ps. The influence of both temperature and solvent composition on recombination can be explained by a simple hydrodynamic model of diffusion controlled reactions, using a radiation boundary condition that mimics the reorientation barrier. In polar liquids, cage escape is enhanced by solvation of the radical pair. Based on the interpretation of these experiments it appears that the use of chemical substituents to alter the dipole movement of the radical can be used to study the recombination dynamics in more detail.

Abstract:
Quantum chemical investigations of the action of hindered phenol radical stabilizers in lubricant degradation chemistry have been completed. We are currently developing the first mechanistic models of lubricant degradation with the aim of including the chemistry of additives such as radical stabilizers that are found in commercial lubricant formulations. A key component of development of these models is obtaining reliable estimates of the kinetic parameters for all reactions. Specifically, rate constants and structure-reactivity correlations for the interaction of hindered phenol radical stabilizers with small peroxy radicals have been sought using quantum chemistry and transition state theory. Accurate thermodynamic properties of hindered phenol radical stabilizers and structure-reactivity relationships have been obtained. Such relationships provide researchers the ability to quickly estimate reactivity of hindered phenol stabilizers using their thermodynamic properties and therefore may be useful in additive design.

Abstract:
The operative mechanism of the antioxidative action of 1,2,4-trihydroxythioxanthone (TX) is investigated in this contribution. Conclusions are made based on enthalpy values, as thermodynamical parameters. All calculations are done using the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. To imitate polar and non-polar environments, calculations are done in water and benzene as the medium. It is found that, among three possible radicals that TX can generate, the most stable is the one obtained by homolytic cleavage of the O-H group in position 4. It was found that HAT (Hydrogen Atom Transfer) is the most plausible mechanism for that purpose in benzene. On the other hand, the most favorable mechanism in water is SPLET (Sequential Proton Loss Electron Transfer). Here is estimated the capacity of TX to deactivate hydroxyl (HO●), hydroperoxyl (HOO●) and methylperoxyl radical (CH3OO●). It is found that TX can deactivate all three free radicals following HAT and SPLET reaction mechanisms competitively, in the polar and non-polar environment. SET-PT (Single-Electron Transfer followed by Proton Transfer) is the inoperative mechanism for radicals scavenging, in the polar and non-polar environment.
