Intense Emission

A predominantly blue “active nitrogen” afterglow was generated in pure flowing nitrogen or in air by using a dielectric discharge at pressures from 1 to 20 Torr. The afterglow contains triplet state molecules and vibrationally excited ground state molecules. These species are produced directly by electron impact without the formation and recombination of nitrogen atoms. The most intense emission is the N2 second positive band system. The N2 first positive and N2+ first negative systems are also observed. The spectral and electrical properties of this discharge are discussed in order to establish guidelines for the analytical use of the afterglow for chemiluminescence reactions. The metastatic nitrogen efficiently transfers its energy to atomic and molecular species which are introduced into the gas phase and these excited species emit characteristic radiation. The effects of electrothermal atomization of Zn and the introduction of gaseous species (e.g., NO) on the afterglow are described.

Excited Species

A detailed study has been made of the products of the reaction of hydrogen atoms with propylene. A discharge-flow system at 290±3 K was used. Total pressures in the range 4 to 16 Torr (550 to 2200 N m -2 ) of argon were used and the flow rates of hydrogen atoms and propylene ranged individually up to about 12 μ mol s -1 . As found by others the main products are methane, ethane, ethylene, propane and isobutane. Trivial amounts of 2,3-dimethylbutane, but no n-butane, were detected. A detailed mechanism accounting adequately for the reaction is proposed. It is confirmed that formation of the vibrationally excited species, i-C 3 H 7 *, is the predominant primary process. Novel processes which are shown to be important are H+i-C 3 H 7 * → CH 3 +C 2 H 5 and, C 3 H 8 * → CH 4 +C 2 H 4 . A number of rate constant ratios have been evaluated from the data and these allow calculation of absolute rate constants of some individual reactions. The agreement with previously reported values is, in most instances, good.

Excited Species

A detailed study has been made of the products of the reaction of hydrogen atoms with isobutene in a discharge flow reaction system at 290±3 K. Total pressures in the range 4 to 12 Torr (550 to 1650 N m -2 ) of argon were used and flow rates of hydrogen atoms and isobutene ranged individually up to about 10 μ mol s -1 . The main products were methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, isobutane and neopentane. A detailed mechanism accounting adequately for the observed product distributions and their dependence upon pressure and reactant mixture composition is proposed. The formation of the vibrationally excited species t-C 4 H 9 * is shown to be the predominant primary process. A number of rate constant ratios have been evaluated and absolute rate constants for some individual reactions have been estimated from the data. Some of the details of an earlier analogous study of the reaction of hydrogen atoms with propylene have been confirmed and some interesting correlations are indicated.
