| Abstract: | Photoelectron spectroscopy has been employed to study the thermal decomposition of phenylnitromethane in the gas phase. The results indicate at least two processes for the decomposition. Thus at low temperatures (< ca. 400°C) water and benzonitrile are produced, while at high temperatures (> ca. 400°C) water, nitric oxide and benzaldehyde are formed, together with a small amount of carbon monoxide. Possible pathways of reactions are discussed. The thermal decomposition of nitroethane has also been investigated. |
