Quantum chemical investigation of formation of polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans from oxidation and pyrolysis of 2-chlorophenol.
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to obtain thermochemical parameters for formation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF) from the oxidation of… Expand

Computational study of the oxidation and decomposition of dibenzofuran under atmospheric conditions.
The atmospheric degradation of dibenzofuran (DF) initiated by OH addition has been studied by using density functional theory (B3LYP method). Site C1 in DF is predicted to be the favored site for OH… Expand
