Thermal rate constants for the hydrogen abstraction reactions of (E)-2-butenal by hydrogen atoms were calculated, for the first time, using the multipath canonical variational theory with small-curvature tunneling (MP-CVT/SCT).

Abstract Two primary processes were observed in the Hg-sensitized photolysis of Me 5 Si 2 H: (I) hydrogen abstraction from the Si-H bond with a quantum yield of 0(1) = 0.85, (V) Si-Si bond breaking with 0(V) = 0.04. The hydrogen atoms formed in (/) undergo an H atom abstraction reaction (k(3)), as well as substitution reactions at the Si centers resulting in the formation of dimethylsilane and trimethylsilyl radical (k(4)) or trimethylsilane and dimethylsilyl radical (k(5)). The following branching ratios have been determined:[xxx]The ratio of disproportionation (k(2)) to combination (k(1)) for the pentamethyldisilyl radical has been determined with MeOH as the scavenger for 1-methyl-l-trimethylsilylsilene, 0.046 < k(2)/A: C1) < 0.071. A mechanism with pertinent rate constants has been proposed which accounts for theresults.

Reactions of three protonated benzonitrile radical cations with ethylene are investigated. Product branching ratios and reaction kinetics, measured using ion-trap mass spectrometry, are reported and mechanisms are developed with support from quantum chemical calculations. Reactions proceed via pre-reactive van der Waals complexes with no energy barrier (above the reactant energy) and form radical addition and addition–elimination product ions. Rate coefficients are 4-dehydrobenzonitrilium: 1.72±0.01×10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, 3-dehydrobenzonitrilium: 1.85±0.01×10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, and 2-dehydrobenzonitrilium: 5.96±0.06×10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 (with±50% absolute uncertainty). A ring-closure mechanism involving the protonated nitrile substituent is proposed for the 2-dehydrobenzonitrilium case and suggests favourable formation of the protonated indenimine cation.

C2H5OH has been using as an alternative fuel for decades; HO2 also plays a pivotal role in the combustion. The kinetics and mechanism for the reaction between C2H5OH and HO2 radical has been investigated using the molecular parameters for the reactants, transition states and products predicted at the CCSD(T)//B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) level of theory. There are ten pair products have been found including C2H5O + H2O2 (PR1), CH3CHOH + H2O2 (PR2), CH2CH2OH + H2O2 (PR3), CH3CH2OOOH + H (PR4), C2H5 + HOOOH (PR5), CH3CH2OOH + OH (PR6), CH3CH(OH)OOH + H (PR7), HOCH2CH2OH + H (PR8), HOOCH3 + CH2OH (PR9), and CH3 + HOOCH2OH (PR10) in which the second and third ones are the major channels. The rate constants and branching ratios for all H-abstraction reactions have been calculated using the conventional transition state theory with asymmetric Eckart tunneling corrections for the temperature ranging from 298 to 2000 K.
