Kinetics of hydroxyl radical reactions with formaldehyde and 1,3,5-trioxane between 290 and 600 K

Absolute rate constants are measured for the reactions: OH + CH₂O, over the temperature range 296–576 K and for OH + 1,3,5-trioxane over the range 292–597 K. The technique employed is laser photolysis of H₂O₂ or HNO₃ to produce OH, and laser-induced fluorescence to directly monitor the relative OH concentration. The results fit the following Arrhenius equations: k (CH₂O) = (1.66 ± 0.20) × 10^?11 exp[?(170 ± 80)/RT] cm³ s^?1 and k(1,3,5-trioxane) = (1.36 ± 0.20) × 10^?11 exp[?(460 ± 100)/RT] cm³ s^?1. The transition-state theory is employed to model the OH + CH₂O reaction and extrapolate into the combustion regime. The calculated result covering 300 to 2500 K can be represented by the equation: k(CH₂O) = 1.2 × 10^?18 T^2.46 exp(970/RT) cm³ s^?1. An estimate of 91 ± 2 kcal/mol is obtained for the first C?

Electron scattering differential cross sections for C2H2, C2H4, and C2H6 by gas phase electron diffraction - binding effects

Experimental differential cross sections for 40 keV electrons scattered by C₂H₂, C₂H₄ and C₂H₆ molecules were measured using the gas electron diffraction method in the range of the scattering variable s from s = 1 A^?1 to s = 30 A^?1. The differential cross sections for neon were also measured and compared with calculated differential cross sections to calibrate the diffractograph. Experimental differential cross sections show significant deviations with respect to theoretical differential cross sections calculated from the Debye-Ehrenfest model, mainly in the range of small scattering angles. The observed differences are connected to chemical binding effects. From the experimental data, an estimation of the binding energy was carried out. The deduced values: ?0.58 ± 0.20 au for C₂H₂, ?0.94 ± 0.30 au for C₂H₄ and ?1.23 ± 0.40 au for C₂H₆ are in agreement with those obtained by thermochemical methods.     

A laser flash photo lysis-resonance fluorescence kinetic study: Reaction of O(3P) with O3

The laser flash photolysis of ozone at ≈ 6000 Å has been used to generate a clean kinetic source of ground state atomic oxygen, O(³P). The decay of O(³P) due to reaction with O₃ was monitored via resonance fluorescence at 1300 Å, under static reaction cell conditions. Over the temperature range of 220–353°K, the bimolecular rate constant, k₁, could be expressed in Arrhenius form as: k₁ = (2.02 ± 0.19) × 10^?11 exp[-(4522 ± 210 kcal/mole)/RT]. Units are in cm³molec^?1 sec^-1. A comparison of the results from this work with other recent investigations, indicates that the reliability of k₁ is now probably as good as 10–15% over nearly 300 degrees.     

Kinetics of phenyl radical reactions with propane,n‐butane,n‐hexane,and n‐octane: Reactivity of C6H5 toward the secondary C?H bond of alkanes

The kinetics of C₆H₅ reactions with n‐C_nH_2n+2 (n = 3, 4, 6, 8) have been studied by the pulsed laser photolysis/mass spectrometric method using C₆H₅COCH₃ as the phenyl precursor at temperatures between 494 and 1051 K. The rate constants were determined by kinetic modeling of the absolute yields of C₆H₆ at each temperature. Another major product C₆H₅CH₃ formed by the recombination of C₆H₅ and CH₃ could also be quantitatively modeled using the known rate constant for the reaction. A weighted least‐squares analysis of the four sets of data gave k (C₃H₈) = (1.96 ± 0.15) × 10¹¹ exp[?(1938 ± 56)/T], and k (n‐C₄H₁₀) = (2.65 ± 0.23) × 10¹¹ exp[?(1950 ± 55)/T] k (n‐C₆H₁₄) = (4.56 ± 0.21) × 10¹¹ exp[?(1735 ± 55)/T], and k (n?C₈H₁₈) = (4.31 ± 0.39) × 10¹¹ exp[?(1415 ± 65)T] cm³ mol^?1 s^?1 for the temperature range studied. For the butane and hexane reactions, we have also applied the CRDS technique to extend our temperature range down to 297 K; the results obtained by the decay of C₆H₅ with CRDS agree fully with those determined by absolute product yield measurements with PLP/MS. Weighted least‐squares analyses of these two sets of data gave rise to k (n?C₄H₁₀) = (2.70 ± 0.15) × 10¹¹ exp[?(1880 ± 127)/T] and k (n?C₆H₁₄) = (4.81 ± 0.30) × 10¹¹ exp[?(1780 ± 133)/T] cm³ mol^?1 s^?1 for the temperature range 297‐‐1046 K. From the absolute rate constants for the two larger molecular reactions (C₆H₅ + n‐C₆H₁₄ and n‐C₈H₁₈), we derived the rate constant for H‐abstraction from a secondary C? H bond, k_s?CH = (4.19 ± 0.24) × 10¹⁰ exp[?(1770 ± 48)/T] cm³ mol^?1 s^?1. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 36: 49–56, 2004     

Dissociation rate measurements in SO2 + Ar mixtures behind incident shock waves

Dissociation rates of SO₂ in SO₂ + Ar mixtures at 6%, 11%, 15% and 20% of SO₂ were measured behind incident shock waves over a temperature range 4000–6000 K at initial pressures 1.0 to 2.5 Torr. The recorded laser schlieren signals exhibited two exponentials, the faster one due to vibrational relaxation and the slower one due to dissociation. The initial dissociation rate was calculated from the value of the density gradient at the point of intersection of the two exponentials. A least-squares analysis of the experimental data yielded the following empirical relations: k_SO2Ar = 3.34 × 10¹⁵ exp(?107.6 kcal mole^?1/RT) cm³/mole s, k_SO2SO2 = 5.02 × 10¹⁴ exp(?66.6 kcal mole^?1 kcal mole^?1/RT) cm³/mole s.
