摘要:
AbstractThe total decomposition rates of the chemically activated alkanesn‐butane,n‐pentane, isopentane, and neohexane were measured using an internal comparison technique. Chemical activation was by the CH insertion reaction of excited singlet‐state methylene radicals. A total of ten rate constants ranging from 4.6 × 105to 2.3 × 107sec−1were measured for these alkanes at different excitation energies. These rates correlate via RRKM theory calculations with thermalA‐factors in the range of 1016.1to 1017.1sec−1for free rotoractivated complex models and in the range of 1016.4to 1017.8sec−1for vibrator‐activated complex models. It was found that high critical energies for decomposition, “tight” radical models, and activated complex models with free internal rotations were required to correlate the decomposition rates of these alkanes with estimated alkyl radical recombination rates. The correlation is just barely possible even for these favorable extremes, indicating that there may be a basic discrepancy between the recombination rate and decompositio
