Determination of the rate constants for reactions of gaseous substrates with adsorbed O− radical anions

We consider the possibility of determining the rate constants for reactions of gaseous substrates with O^– radical anions adsorbed on catalysts from the loss of the substrate from the gas phase. We consider two reaction pathways, including attack on O^– by the substrate from the gas phase and from the surface of the contact catalyst, under conditions of equilibrium distribution of the substrate between the phases.L.
