Sažetak

A theoretical, gradient-corrected Hartree-Fock-density functional theory (HF-DFT) approach was applied to the determination of the bond dissociation energy (BDE) for the photodegradation
processes of the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide in the gas phase and in aqueous medium. According to the results of these calculations, the phenoxy C−O homolytic BDE value was found to be approximately two times lower than the corresponding C−Cl (2) and C−Cl (4) BDE ones, in both gas phase and under continuous solvation by water. An experimental study of the 2,4-D photodegradation reaction kinetics and photoproducts was also performed in water. At lower concentration, the formation of
only two photoproducts (2-Cl- and 4-Cl-phenoxyacetic acid) was observed, whereas at higher concentration, three photoproducts were formed, with 2,4-dichlorophenol as the third one. These photoproducts appeared competitively within about 40–80 min, and were eventually photodecomposed. The experimental
data are in good agreement with the results of our HF-DFT calculations.
