Abstract: Quantum calculation methods like DFT, Ab-initio, and semiempirical have been used
to simulate the mechanism of Ozone depletion by HCFC-124 (1-Chloro-1,2,2,2-
tetrafluoroethane). Structural properties such as Geometry optimized and single point
calculation has been done to understand the configuration interaction singly excited state for
all chemical species of the suggested reactions and their transition states. Energetic properties
such as total energy, molecular orbital energies, zero point energy, energy gap has been
calculated with RHF/6-31G* and Beack88LYP/3-21G(d) methods . Potential energy surface
calculation has been determined to evaluate the responsible bond of first initiation cleavage
step of photolysis mechanism reaction.
They found C-Cl bond is the most responsible in the photolysis mechanism reactions which is
produced chlorine radical and other radicals by energy barrier value of 61.305 kCal mol-1 with
enthalpy of reaction equal to 78.419 kCal mol-1. The transition state examination of these reactions
indicated that chlorine radical is the most probable species than other radicals to depleted
ozone by HCFC-124. The depletion reaction is spontaneous and exothermic with enthalpy
change of reaction equal to -252.64kCal mol-1 and free energy equal to -291.376 kCal mol-1 .
Key words: HCFC-124, Ozone, Depletion, Photolysis mechanism, transition state, Calculation
methods, Simulation study.
Introduction
The earth’s atmosphere is protected from much of the sun’s UV-B and UV-C radiation
by a layer of ozone (O3
) in the stratosphere, which is strongly absorbed in the 230 to 290
nm region1
. Ozone is ubiquitous in the atmosphere but its mainly concentrated in the
stratosphere between 19 and 23 km above the surface of the earth2
. Majority of ozone in
the stratosphere layer is formed naturally by photolysis of oxygenic molecules under
UV-radiation3
. Human activities during the last century involving particularly a new
chemical compounds such as chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs), Halons (H), carbontetrachloride
(CTC) which leads to the destruction of earth’s protective stratospheric
ozone layer.4

CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) is a stable compound that is used extensively for air
conditioning and refrigeration, Propellants and solvents also for the production of foams.
chlorofluorocarbons is the main source of ozone depleting substances in the stratospheric
layer, also they contribute to global warming.5
The production of CFC will phase out in
beginning of 1995 under the Copenhagen amendment and the Montreal protocol6
. A new
chemical compounds have been identified to be a replacement to the CFC compound
such as HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) that’s have
the same physical-chemical properties to the CFC compound with less stratospheric ozone
depletion7
. HCFC-124 (1-Chloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane) is a replacement to CFC-114
one of the most practical CFC compound as refrigeration and fire extinguishing agents .
The HCFC-124 has a molecular weight equal to 136.48, and B.P equal to –12.1C°
, also
ozone depletion Potential relative to CFC-12 equal to 0.04 8.
In the present work quantum calculation methods have been used to estimate the
ozone depletion mechanism by HCFC-124, through determining the geometry optimized
of the parent compound and for the fragments that’s resulted from the photolysis reaction
also the transition state . The structural properties are important to understand the chemical
reactivity during the potential energy surface calculations. Theoretical calculations give
energetic parameters of short-lived reactive intermediate moieties. The calculation of
transition state structures is very sensitive to the level of theory and basis sets that’s be
used 9,10 .
Computational Details
Geometry optimizations were performed at the level of HF/RHF, and density functional
theory with an exchange potential Becke 88 and correlation potential LYP that’s proposed
by lee-yang-parr with 3-21G(d) basis sets. Then, harmonic vibration frequencies were
computed to prove that each of the optimized structures is a local minimum on its potential
surface11. Potential energy surface calculation performed by mapping reactants into
products to calculate the activation energy.12
Results and Discussion
HCFC-124 (1-Chloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane) is a polar compound possess one hydrogen
atom, the chemical structure represented in figure 1 . Energetic properties of HCFC-124
have been studied using different quantum calculation methods to estimate the chemical
reactivity. Table 1 shows the energetic properties of HCFC-124. The total energy calculation
by Abinitio method give a value of -583015.8, -585812.9kCal mol-1computed by 3-21G (d),
6-31G* basis set respectively, compared with recent theoretical studies the 6-31G* give
nearest value of total energy calculation13.
The physical properties of HCFC-124 as a display in figure 2,which is approved that
the electrostatic potential give a negative charge density appears on the fluorine atom
(red color) while the carbon atom appears with positive charge density, also the Homo
&Lumo calculation in 2&3 dimension has been computed. The total charge density gives
high density centered on the fluorine atom that connected to carbon atom number two.
