The thermal decomposition of vinyl isopropyl ether in the presence of toluene has been studied in a flow system in the temperature range 447–521 °C. In this range, the data indicate a purely intramolecular decomposition into propylene and acetaldehyde, the activation energy for the reaction being in close agreement with that found for the decomposition of vinyl ethyl ether. At 570 °C. a minor free radical decomposition of the ether becomes apparent. Some qualitative studies of the decomposition of vinyl isobutyl ether are also reported.

It is of considerable interest to compare the velocities of homogeneous and heterogeneous gas reactions. In general homogeneous bimolecular reactions tend to become unimolecular in the presence of a catalyst, and the heat of activation falls to about one-half. This has been shown to be the case in the decomposition of nitrous oxide, hydrogen iodide, and ammonia. The question arises as to what is the effect of a catalyst on a homogeneous unimolecular reaction. The decomposition of gaseous diethyl ether was chosen for investigation on account of its simplicity; and an attempt has been made to compare the heterogeneous decomposition on the surface of platinum with that of the homogeneous reaction which has been investigated by Hinshelwood.

1-Ethoxyethyl chloride decomposes cleanly at 164-221� into vinyl ethyl ether and hydrogen chloride in a first-order manner with k1 = 1010.52exp(-30300/RT) sec-1 (1) The equilibrium of the system at 128-221� approached from either direction at various pressures is well represented by (Kp in atmospheres) 1.987 In Kp = 31.1 � 0.9-(16500�500)/T (2) and this leads to ΔH�f,298(g) = -71.9 kcal mole-1 for 1-ethoxyethyl chloride. Combination of (1) and (2) gives k2 = 108.7exp(-14700/RT) sec-1 ml mole-1 for the reverse reaction and rate measurements verify this. The reactions are molecular, and relative rates indicate a polar transition state.

The rates of decomposition of t-butyl ethyl ether have been measured in the range 433-484�. The reaction products are ethanol and isobutene, and the kinetic form is first order. The Arrhenius equation k1 = 1017.18exp(-59740/RT)sec-1 is followed. The reaction behaviour is consistent with a unimolecular mechanism for the decomposition.

Over the temperature range 377° to 448 °C, vinyl ethyl ether has been found to decompose by a first order reaction to give ethylene and acetaldehyde, at a rate given by[Formula: see text]The reaction is capable of sensitizing the decomposition of acetaldehyde and the polymerization of ethylene; this indicates that free radicals are produced during the decomposition of the ether.Nitric oxide exerts virtually no effect upon the rate of ether decomposition, although it does reduce the rates of pressure change of ether-acetaldehyde mixtures to those corresponding to ether decomposition alone.It is suggested that the decomposition of vinyl ethyl ether occurs essentially through a rearrangement mechanism, and that free radicals do not play an important part, owing possibly to the inhibiting character of this unsaturated ether.

In this form of electron microscopy, photoelectrons emitted from a metal by ultraviolet radiation are accelerated and imaged onto a fluorescent screen by conventional electron optics. image contrast is determined by spatial variations in the intensity of the photoemission. The dominant source of contrast is due to changes in the photoelectric work function, between surfaces of different crystalline orientation, or different chemical composition. Topographical variations produce a relatively weak contrast due to shadowing and edge effects.Since the photoelectrons originate from the surface layers (e.g. ∼5-10 nm for metals), photoelectron microscopy is surface sensitive. Thus to see the microstructure of a metal the thin layer (∼3 nm) of surface oxide must be removed, either by ion bombardment or by thermal decomposition in the vacuum of the microscope.
