Parent disappearance and fragment formation yields are measured in the UV multiphoton excitation ... more Parent disappearance and fragment formation yields are measured in the UV multiphoton excitation of cycloheptatriene, toluene, and ethylbenzene. The dependence on laser fluence and bath gas pressure is recorded. The results are interpreted in terms of a competition between the absorption of one or two photons, unimolecular reactions, and collisional deactivation of the parent molecules. The yields of the products CHâ and benzyl decrease at high laser fluences, probably because of secondary spontaneous fragmentations of these highly excited primary fragments.

A,, private communication. The collisional energy transfer between excited SO2 and Ar has been simulated by classical trajectory calculations. The influences of the intramolecular and intermolecular potentials, of temperature, and of excitation of SO2 on vibrational and rotational energy transfer are demonstrated. Average energies transferred and collisional transition probabilities are reported.

The temperature and pressure dependence of the reaction CH + H2if and only ifCH3if and only ifCH2 + H

CH radicals have been generated using multiphoton laser flash photolysis of CHBr3 at 248 nm and detected by saturated laser-induced fluorescence near 430 nm. At low pressures the reaction leads to CH2(3B)and H, while at high pressures CH3 radicals are produced. S-shaped transition curves have been constructed to describe the pressure dependence of the rate constant. The high-pressure limiting rate constant for the recombination to CH3 has been evaluated to be k1,∞=2.0×10-10(T/300 K)0,15 cm3molecule-1 s-1. Using experimental low-pressure data from the literature, the rate constant for the second channel could be separated and has been analyzed in terms of SACM theory. A simple kinetic model has been applied to describe the overall rate constant k1 in an extended temperature and pressure range. Related rate constants for the reaction of CH2(3B) with H and the unimolecular two-channel dissociation of CH3 have also been analyzed.

At... more High pressure experiments on the OH + NO2 reaction are presented for 3 different temperatures. At 300 K, experiments in He (p = 2-500 bar) as well as in Ar (p = 2-4 bar) were performed. The rate constants obtained in Ar agree well with values which have been reported earlier by our group (Forster, R.; Frost, M.; Fulle, D.; Hamann, H. F.; Hippler, H.; Schlepegrell, A.; Troe, J. J. Chem. Phys. 1995, 103, 2949. Fulle, D.; Hamann, H. F.; Hippler, H.; Troe, J. J. Chem. Phys. 1998, 108, 5391). In contrast, the rate coefficients determined in He were found to be 15-25% lower than the values given in our earlier publications. Additionally, results for He as bath gas at elevated temperatures (T = 400 K, p = 3-150 bar; T = 600 K, p = 3-150 bar) are reported. The results obtained at elevated pressures are found to be in good agreement with existing literature data. The observed falloff behavior is analyzed in terms of the Troe formalism taking into account two reaction channels: one yielding HNO3 and one yielding HOONO. It is found that the extracted parameters are in agreement with rate constants for vibrational relaxation and isotopic scrambling as well as with experimentally determined branching ratios. Based on our analysis we determine falloff parameters to calculate the rate constant for atmospheric conditions.

The pyrolysis of propene, initiated by methyl radicals, has been studied in the temperature range... more The pyrolysis of propene, initiated by methyl radicals, has been studied in the temperature range 750-1000 K and at a pressure of 0.13 bar in a quasi-wall-free reactor using laser heating by fast vibrational-translational (V-T) energy transfer. This is a convenient method to study homogeneous high-temperature kinetics since the reactor walls remain cold. The radial temperature distribution in the reactor has been investigated by four different methods: a stationary heat balance, optical absorption, pressure rise, and the temperature dependence of the rate of an isomerization reaction. Methyl radicals were produced via the fast thermal dissociation of di-tert-butyl-peroxide and the products were analysed using GC-MS. The main products of the overall reaction of the model system propene and methyl (C3H6 + CH3) were isopentane (iso-C5H12) and but-1-ene (1-C4H8), whereas allene (C3H4), trans-but-2-ene (trans-2-C4H8) and cis-but-2-ene (cis-2-C4H8) were minor components, all showing a strong dependence on temperature. The product distribution and the temperature dependence were analysed by a kinetic model of 61 species and 166 reactions developed for the high-temperature oxidation of butane and the low-temperature oxidation of n-pentane and isopentane. It was necessary to include a few missing reactions and to adjust some rate constants to make the modeling agree with the experimental investigations. This extended mechanism has to be evaluated further in forthcoming experiments.
