Computed high-temperature rate constants for hydrogen-atom transfers involving light atoms

, p. 385 - 391 (1966)
The procedure of Johnston and Parr for computing the potential energy and structure of a triatomic linear activated complex containing hydrogen as its central atom has been combined with the EyringPolanyi rate-constant expression to calculate rate constants at 1000° to 4000°K of gas-phase hydrogen-atom transfers for every possible reaction between the ground states of the atoms H, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Na, Cl, Br, I, and any of the diatomic hydrogen compounds of these elements. The relation between activated complex theory and collision theory for reactions of this sort is examined in detail. The usual form of activated complex theory breaks down for reactions of low activation energy and high temperature, and the conditions for this failure in terms of bending vibrational amplitude are given. For these cases rate constants are evaluated by hard-sphere collision theory. Although calculated activation energy and other parameters differ from one reaction to another, these differences become unimportant at very high temperature. Almost all calculated rate constants have a value within a factor of 4 of the single value 2X10 13cc/mole/sec at 2500°K.

Rate constants at room temperature (293 ± 2 K) and atmospheric pressure for the reaction of methyl n-propyl ether (MnPE), CH3OCH2CH2CH3, with OH and NO3 radicals and the Cl atom have been determined in a 100 L FEP-Teflon reaction chamber in conjunction with gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) as the detection technique. The obtained rate constants k (in units of cm3 molecule-1 s-1) are (9.91 ± 2.30) × 10-12, (1.67 ± 0.32) × 10-15, and (2.52 ± 0.14) × 10-10 for reactions with OH, NO3, and Cl, respectively. The products of these reactions were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and formation mechanisms are proposed for the observed reaction products. Atmospheric lifetimes of the studied ether, calculated from rate constants of the different reactions, reveal that the dominant loss process for MnPE is its reaction with OH, while in coastal areas and in the marine boundary layer, MnPE loss by Cl reaction is also important.
Mechanism of thermal decomposition of allyltrichlorosilane with formation of three labile intermediates: dichlorosilylene, allyl radical, and atomic chlorine

It is experimentally found that allyltrichlorosilane dissociates under vacuum pyrolysis (~10–2 Torr) at temperatures above 1100 K to form three labile intermediates: allyl radical, dichlorosilylene, and monoatomic chlorine. On the basis of experimental and theoretical data obtained, it is shown that the decomposition reaction proceeds in two steps. The first step is a typical reaction of homolytic decomposition to two radicals (C3H5 and SiCl3) at the weakest Si—C bond. Due to weakness of the Si—Cl bond in the SiCl3 radical, the energy of which is even somewhat lower than the dissociation energy of the Si—C bond in starting AllSiCl3, this radical undergoes further dissociation to SiCl2 and Cl, thus resulting in three intermediates of different classes of highly reactive species formed from AllSiCl3.
