Theoretical investigation of benzo(a)pyrene formation
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are harmful chemicals emitted to the environment by incomplete combustion. As the aromatic structure grows, the carcinogenic effect increases, and thus, to understand their formation mechanisms is crucial. In this work, new reaction pathways leading to benzo(a)pyrene, a PAH with well-known carcinogenic effects, were explored by using DFT methods. Starting from chrysene or benzo(a)anthracene, three types of...
