The kinetics and mechanism of reactions between gas-phase ozone and surface-bound C60 have been investigated by monitoring the changes to in situ reflection-absorption infrared spectra within a well-characterized film of C60 during exposure to a controlled flux of pure ozone. These ultrahigh vacuum studies provide direct infrared spectroscopic evidence for the formation and decomposition of a primary ozonide of C60. The spectral assignments of this highly unstable intermediate have been verified using electronic structure calculations. Theory and experiment revealed that C60 is oxidized nearly exclusively via addition of ozone across the double bond that links two 6-carbon containing rings of the molecule. Following spectral characterization, the initial probability for ozone to react with the surface was found to be 5.8 ± 0.2 × 10-4. Once formed, the ozonide quickly thermally decomposed to a variety of carbonylcontaining products.

Since their discovery in 1985,1 fullerenes have been explored for and implemented in a diverse array of practical applications including new organometallics,2,

medicine,7-9 and in the field of surface science.10, 11 Today, the most common fullerene, C60, is produced by the metric ton,12 which has sparked concerns over the possible impact the molecule may have on the environment. Once C60 enters the environment, this large polycyclic aromatic molecule likely reacts efficiently with highly oxidizing atmospheric gases such as O3, OH, and NOx compounds. However, there is currently little known about the reaction kinetics and mechanisms of C60 with these gas-phase molecules. Therefore, we have explored the initial reaction channels involved in the oxidation of surface-bound C60 by gas-phase O3. In contrast to experiments at the gas-surface interface, condensed-phase reactions between C60 and ozone have been explored by a number of groups. For example, recent research indicates that ozone readily oxidizes C60 in various solvents, including water.13-30 In 2000, Heymann et al. detected and isolated an unstable intermediate as a result of the ozonation of C60/toluene solutions. These researchers employed liquid chromatographic methods to help identify the intermediate as C60O3, the primary ozonide (PO) of C60.26 However, definitive spectroscopic characterization of the PO has yet to be reported. Similar to C60, the PO of alkenes and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is known to be extremely short-lived. The short lifetime of the PO under most experimental conditions has precluded its direct spectroscopic detection at ambient temperatures. Therefore, several studies of the reaction between ozone and alkenes have been conducted in matrix isolation type experiments at low temperatures.31-33 These studies have proven helpful in providing infrared spectroscopic characterization of the PO for a variety of unsaturated organic molecules.31-33 Far fewer studies of the reaction between gas-phase ozone and solid or vaporous C60 have been conducted.34, 35 Most relevant to the study described below, Cataldo et al.36 explored the oxidation of solid powder C60 with gas-phase ozone. They reported the observation of a stable reaction product, which they identified to be the primary ozonide of C60. In addition, these studies proposed that the rate of PO formation followed first-order kinetics characterized by a rate constant of k = 2.0 x 10-4 s-1.36

In this Letter, we present the results of an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) surface science study into the reaction between a well-controlled flux of pure O3 and surface-bound C60. By tracking the formation of new bonds on the surface with vibrational spectroscopy during ozone exposure, we have determined the rate of emergence of the PO of C60. In addition, with the aid of electronic structure calculations, we have characterized the infrared spectrum of this short-lived intermediate at the gas-surface interface, which has provided detailed insight into the dynamics that govern the initial stages of the reaction. The surface samples were created in vacuum by vapor deposition of C60 from a temperature-controlled Knudsen cell onto a clean polycrystalline Au surface. The Au substrate served as the support for the C60 molecules as well as a reflective mirror to facilitate reflectionabsorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). Prior to these experiments, a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was employed to directly measure the coverage of C60 on the surface during film formation. For the study reported below, the film thickness was 50 nm, which, according to previous work,37 corresponds to approximately 40 ML of fullerenes above the underlying gold substrate. The QCM measurements showed that, under our experimental conditions and range of surface coverages, the RAIRS absorbance for the fullerene films was directly proportional to the surface concentration. Therefore, the changes in intensity of the main C60 modes during ozone exposure were used to reveal the extent of oxidation and track the kinetics of the reaction. Once the Au surface was coated with a thin film of fullerene molecules, the sample was transferred directly into the main UHV chamber (base pressure of < 10-9 Torr) without exposure to atmosphere. In the UHV system, pure ozone was dosed directly onto the sample via a capillary array doser coupled to an ozone storage and purification system.38, 39 The concentration of ozone was periodically measured using an in-line UV-Vis spectrometer. In addition, the relative flux of ozone into the chamber was continually monitored with a quadrupole mass spectrometer tuned to the parent ion for O3 (m/z = 48). The final flux of ozone on the surface was estimated by measuring the UV absorbance of the O3 gas source at 254 nm immediately prior to entering the capillary array doser. This absorbance was converted to a concentration using Beers Law, and the flux through the doser was determined from a calculation based on the physical dimensions

of the doser and the kinetic theory of gases. The calculated value for flux correlated well with the pressure rise in the vacuum chamber during O3 exposure to a clean, Au surface. The reaction between C60 and ozone was monitored in situ with RAIRS. RAIRS was enabled by a Bruker IFS 66v/S spectrometer, which was coupled to the UHV chamber via a set of KBr windows on either side of the sample in a highly glancing configuration. The IR radiation was detected via a liquid nitrogen cooled mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) detector. Each individual spectrum shown in this report represents the average of 100 scans with 2 cm-1 resolution. A clean Au surface was used as a background, unless otherwise indicated. Figure 1 A shows the infrared spectrum of the as-prepared C60 surface sample. Two of the four IR-active modes for C60 appear in the spectrum, at 1182 and 1428 cm-1.40 The other two IR-active modes, at 577 and 527 cm-1,40 are outside the detection range of the MCT detector (4000-750 cm-1). The smaller peaks present in this spectrum are due to combination,

isotopes, higher-order IR, and Raman modes of the C60 layer adjacent to the gold surface that become IR active due to disruption of the molecular symmetry of the adsorbate.40 Following initial characterization, the C60-covered Au surface was exposed to a continuous source of ozone and changes to the film were tracked with RAIRS. Figure 1 B displays a subset of the difference spectra recorded continuously during exposure. For the difference spectra, the spectrum of the original C60 sample (Figure 1 A) served as the background such that negative peaks represent modes that decreased in intensity and positive features correspond to surface species that emerged during reaction. The difference spectra clearly show that the intensities of the major fullerene peaks at 1182 and 1428 cm-1 were reduced immediately upon exposure to ozone. As these peaks decreased in intensity, several new modes appeared. The spectrum recorded following 400 L (1 L = 1 Langmuir = 10-6 Torr · s) of exposure, labeled c in Figure 1 B, shows the emergence of six new modes that developed in the low-wavenumber region of the spectrum. The intensity of these new modes reached a maximum at this stage in the experiment before the peaks returned to baseline after 4 × 104 L of exposure. As these lowwavenumber modes decreased, they were replaced by the final products, which appear to be a multi-component surface-bound carbonyl species.

Figure 1. C60 film on polycrystalline Au surface. IR active C60 modes shown at 1182 and 1428 cm-1. (A) Initial C60 spectrum, before ozone exposure. (B) Difference spectra recorded during the ozone exposure of the C60 surface in UHV. The amount of ozone exposed to the surface is indicated in Langmuir. Spectrum b shows the simultaneous decrease of the main C60 modes at 1182 and 1428 cm-1, and the appearance of the six new modes in the lowwavenumber region. After approximately 400 L of ozone exposure, the six new modes have reached maximum intensity and begin to decrease, until they disappear entirely following 4 × 104 L of exposure.

It should be noted that the extent of reaction appeared to be restricted to the top-most layers of the C60 film. That is, we found the rate of reaction and the final IR intensity for the product peaks to be insensitive to overall film thickness and the majority of the C60 molecules were unaffected by the ozone. For the experiment highlighted in Fig. 1, the main IR peaks for the fullerene molecules decreased by only 20% following extensive ozone exposure. Furthermore, the IR modes for the fullerene molecules immediately adjacent to the Au surface were unaffected by ozone exposure, which indicates that the underlying Au surface likely does not contribute to the observed surface chemistry. These observations are consistent with the work of Cataldo et al., which showed that only the outer-most layer of a solid C60 sample was oxidized during extensive ozonolysis.36 The broad carbonyl feature that emerged in the IR spectra (see spectra d-f in Figure 1 B) may be due to the highly oxidized and cross-linked species known as ozopolymer, which likely contains several different types of carboxy-functionalized products.19,20,36,41 Characterization of these complex infrared features has yet to be accomplished, but is the subject of on-going research in our group. For the present study, we focus on the intermediate species characterized by a transient, but intense, peak at 977 cm-1 and accompanied by at least five additional infrared bands.

We hypothesize that the infrared transient at 977 cm-1, along with the five additional modes, is due to the formation of the primary ozonide of C60. The Criegee mechanism for ozonolysis of olefins suggests that O3 first adds across a double bond to form the PO.42, 43 The PO is well documented to be highly unstable and thermally decomposes to form a diradical and, eventually, carbonyl species. In fact, direct detection of the PO for any ozone-surface reaction has proven to be difficult due to the short-lived nature of this intermediate, and consequently little precedence exists in the literature for definitive assignment of the vibrational spectra in Figure 1 B. In order to aid in the assignment of the IR spectral features measured in this work, we have performed electronic structure calculations of the two symmetry-inequivalent primary ozonides resulting from addition of ozone to a bond shared between two hexagons (6-6) or between a hexagon and a pentagon (6-5) in C60. The calculated harmonic frequencies were computed after full geometry optimization of the PO of C60 (Cs symmetry) at the B3LYP/6-31G* level, and were scaled by the recommended factor of 0.96.44 A subset of additional calculations at the M06/6-31G* level provided results consistent with the ones reported here at the B3LYP/631G* level. All calculations were conducted with the Gaussian09 suite of programs. Figure 2 displays spectrum c from Figure 1 B, the time during the measurements at which the intermediate species reached maximum intensity, along with the calculated harmonic vibrational frequencies for the primary ozonide of C60 corresponding to the addition of O3 to a 66 bond in C60 (Figure 2 A) and to the addition of O3 to a 6-5 bond in C60 (Figure 2 B). The remarkable agreement between the theoretically calculated vibrational spectrum for the PO of C60 on a 6-6 bond and the experimental IR spectrum (typical differences are within 20 cm-1) verifies that these modes are, in fact, due to the formation of the PO intermediate.

Figure 2. The experimental spectrum displayed in both graphs, A and B, is the difference spectrum (c) from Figure 1 B. In graph A, the spectrum is overlaid with the calculated vibrational frequencies of the PO resulting from ozone addition to a 6-6 bond. Graph B compares the spectrum with the calculated vibrational frequencies of a PO formed through ozone addition across a 6-5 bond.

Comparison of the experimental spectrum to the calculations performed on the PO resulting from the addition of O3 to a 6-5 bond in C60 (Figure 2 B) does not produce the level of agreement found for the addition to a 6-6 bond (Figure 2 A). This result, together with the fact that the calculated barrier for O3 addition to a 6-5 bond is 4.3 kcal/mol, but the addition to a 6-6 bond is barrierless (the transition-state energy is actually below the reagents’ asymptote for the 6-6 addition), clearly indicates that the experimental spectra are dominated by the PO formed at a 6-6 bond. Our calculated barriers are in agreement with the minimum-energy-pathway calculations of Sabirov et al.45 Because the C60 film is continuously exposed to ozone in these studies and the addition of ozone to the 6-6 bonds is an energetically barrierless process, it is likely that multiple molecules add to a single C60. Calculations carried out for all possible isomers that result from the addition of two ozone molecules to different 6-6 bonds provide IR spectra that are remarkably similar to those of the single-PO spectrum shown in Fig. 2 A; therefore, the calculations provide no direct insight into the number of POs that form on a single C60 molecule. Additional studies, perhaps involving more detailed molecular dynamics simulations, will be required to fully elucidate the extent of oxidation on any particular fullerene surface molecule.

In addition to characterizing the IR spectrum of the PO, we have studied rate of formation of this intermediate to determine the initial reaction probability for ozone impinging on the fullerene-covered surface. Figure 3 displays a plot of the change in absorbance for the main C60 mode as a function of time, along with the increase in the intensity of the most intense mode associated with the PO of C60 (977 cm-1). As highlighted in this figure, the observed rate constants for the time evolution of these two modes are identical within our experimental uncertainty, which indicates that the formation of the intermediate is the first step toward the overall decomposition of the C60 molecules and

subsequent creation of a complex array of carbonyl-containing functional groups. The initial reaction probability, γ0, which is simply the ratio of reactive collisions to total collisions, can be extracted from the rate constant for the formation of the PO according to:46

γ0 =

# of "reactive"collisions kobs = # of total collisions Aprod ΦO3

(1),

where Aprod is the surface area occupied by the intermediate product, the PO, and ΦO3 is the flux of ozone. A non-linear least squares analysis of the data in Fig. 3 provides the observed rate constant (kobs in Eqn. 1), which was used to determine an initial reaction probability of γ0 = 5.8 ± 0.2 x 10-4. The value for γ0 reported here is surprisingly similar to the rate at which ozone reacts in interfacial encounters with other unsaturated organics,47-54 despite the fact that the current study is among the few to explore this reaction in the absence of background gases and on highly characterized clean surfaces. Notably, Thornberry and Abbatt55 utilized a coated flow tube, coupled with a chemical ionization mass spectrometer, to measure the reaction probabilities for

ozone with oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. The values for γo in their work were 8.0 x 10-4, 1.3 x 10-3, and 1.8 x 10-3 for the three acids, respectively.55 These values are within a factor of three of the experimentally determined probability for ozone reacting with surface-bound fullerene molecules. Perhaps slightly more relevant to the current study, are the recent UHVbased experiments reported by Fiegland and co-workers,49 and Lu et al.,47 which show that the reactivity of ozone with a well-organized alkene-terminated self-assembled monolayer is much lower than that for reactions with the disordered acid films employed in the work of Abbatt et al.54 These differences may be due to the steric constraints present in an organized monolayer that limit the ability of the ozone molecule to reach a favorable configuration for addition to the double bond. Similar constraints may play a somewhat less important role in the chemistry of ozone on fullerene films reported here. Overall, there are many competing factors that play significant roles in determining the rate and initial reaction probability of the ozone-fullerene reaction, including the energetics of PO formation on the surface of the highly polycyclic aromatic molecules, the steric and structural aspects of PO formation on a surface of closely-packed fullerene molecules, and the possible structural changes to the surface that continually alter the dynamics of the initial O3surface collision. Subsequent theoretical and experimental studies will be used to help elucidate the most important contributions to the reaction rate in this complex system. These studies will lead to a better understanding of the oxidation chemistry of C60 and other carbonaceous nanomaterials that may ultimately affect their overall hydrophobicity and environmental transport.
