Kinetic studies were made of the free radical photoinitiated addition of thiophenol to 1-octene and to styrene in the absence of oxygen. In addition to the usual attack, chain transfer, and termination steps, it is found that a reverse reaction accompanies the attack step, [Formula: see text] The rate constants for the thiophenol–styrene reaction were calculated to be [Formula: see text]kt = 2 × 107 liters.moles−1sec.−1. The over-all activation energies for the two reactions were found to be E (1-octene) = 1.2 kcal., E (styrene) = 2.4 kcal.; suggestions are submitted as to why these activation energies are so low. These reactions are compared with n-butyl mercaptan – olefin reactions.

The kinetics of liquid-phase isothermal esterification of POCl3 with 2-isopropylphenol and 4-isopropylphenol have been studied within the temperature intervals of 110 to 130 and 90 to 110 °C, respectively. The rate constants and activation energies of the individual steps of this three-step reaction have been calculated from the values measured. The reaction rates of the two isomers markedly differ: at 110 °C 4-isopropylphenol reacts faster by the factors of about 7 and 20 for k1 and k3, respectively. This finding can be utilized in preparation of mixed triaryl phosphates, since the alkylation mixture after reaction of phenol with propene contains an excess of 2-isopropylphenol over 4-isopropylphenol.

The kinetics of TBBPA degradation by ozonation in semi-batch reactor was studied. The reaction rate constants of TBBPA with O3 and •OH were measured by means of direct ozone attack and competition kinetics, and the values of which were 6.10 l/(mol•s), 4.8×109 l/(mol•s), respectively. Results of kinetic studies showed that TBBPA degradation by ozonation under the different conditions tested followed the pseudo-first-order. The values of apparent rate constant of TBBPA degradation increased with the increase of ozone dosage and pH, but decreased with the increase of initial TBBPA concentration.

The principal reaction of methyl-bis-β-chloroethylamine in methanol is dimerization, which results in one chlorine from each molecule becoming ionic, but this is accompanied by slight alcoholysis. The rate-controlling step is believed to be the first order formation of an ethylenimonium ion which reacts rapidly with one of its kind to form dimer. The rate expression as calculated from initial rate constants is k (initial) = 4.0 × 1013e−19600/RThr.−1.

Free radical polymerization kinetics of diallyl terephthalate (DAT) in solution was investigated with two different peroxide initiators: dicyclohexyl peroxydicarbonate (CHPC) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) in temperature range from 50°C to 110°C, where ortho-xylene was used as a solvent. Conversion points were measured using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurements. Previously developed kinetic model for bulk DAT polymerization, was extended to solution DAT polymerization. The ratio of solvent chain - transfer rate constants to propagation rate constants of the polymerization system were found between 1.25 10-4 to 1.68 10-4 for various reaction conditions. They were obtained using the calculated initial polymerization rates and the number average molecular weight measurements made by GPC. The effect of different solvent fractions and initiator concentrations on the diffusion limitations were investigated. Only two kinetic parameters, kpd0 and ktd0 were obtained by fitting the kinetic model onto measured conversions for various reaction conditions at 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8 solvent fractions. Thus obtained kpd0 and ktd0 kinetic parameters were extrapolated to zero solvent fractions and from obtained values of kinetic parameters the conversion points for bulk DAT polymerization were calculated and compared to measured conversion points.

The kinetics of the formation of Mn(III) hematoporphyrin in glacial acetic acid has been studied spectrophotometrically.On addition of Mn(II) to porphyrin in glacial acetic acid a species which appears to be the monocation immediately is formed and is then converted to Mn(III) hematoporphyrin at a rate suitable for kinetic studies.The rates of reaction were measured at 45, 50, and 55 °C and the activation energies were calculated.

The kinetics of reduction of indigocarmine-dye-oxidized Fe protein of nitrogenase from Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp2ox) by sodium dithionite in the presence and absence of MgADP were studied by stopped-flow spectrophotometry at 23 degrees C and at pH 7.4. Highly co-operative binding of 2MgADP (composite K greater than 4 × 10(10) M-2) to Kp2ox induced a rapid conformation change which caused the redox-active 4Fe-4S centre to be reduced by SO2-.(formed by the predissociation of dithionite ion) with k = 3 × 10(6) M-1.s-1. This rate constant is at least 30 times lower than that for the reduction of free Kp2ox (k greater than 10(8) M-1.s-1). Two mechanisms have been considered and limits obtained for the rate constants for MgADP binding/dissociation and a protein conformation change. Both mechanisms give rate constants (e.g. MgADP binding 3 × 10(5) less than k less than 3 × 10(6) M-1.s-1 and protein conformation change 6 × 10(2) less than k less than 6 × 10(3) s-1) that are similar to those reported for creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2). The kinetics also show that in the catalytic cycle of nitrogenase with sodium dithionite as reductant replacement of 2MgADP by 2MgATP occurs on reduced and not oxidized Kp2. Although the Kp2ox was reduced stoichiometrically by SO2-. and bound two equivalents of MgADP with complete conversion into the less-reactive conformation, it was only 45% active with respect to its ability to effect MgATP-dependent electron transfer to the MoFe protein.

The reaction of DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) with N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine, N-phenyl-2-naphthylamine, diphenylamine, and methylaniline has been studied and has been shown to be primarily a hydrogen abstraction process. Two moles DPPH react with 1–1.15 moles secondary amine to give 1.7–1.8 moles 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine and further products.The reaction between DPPH and N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine is first order with respect to each reactant. The reaction of DPPH with the other amines is retarded by the major product 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine and the kinetics of the over-all reaction are complex. However second-order rate constants and activation energies have been obtained using initial rates of reaction. Possible reaction mechanisms are discussed.

The liquid-phase esterification kinetics of phenol with POCl3 has been studied at isothermal conditions within the temperature interval from 90 to 110 °C. The esterification rate constants of the first, second, and third esterification steps and the activation energies of these steps have been calculated. The given system of competitive consecutive reactions can be described by a system of differential equations which has been solved by the Gauss-Newton optimization method of non-linear regression in the Marquardt modification. In the sequence of the first, second, and third step the esterification rate constants have been found to gradually decrease, whereas the activation energies uncrease in the same sequence.

The kinetics of oxidation of thiocyanate to sulphate by aqueous iodine in the pH range 9.2-12.5 have been studied using a spectrophotometric stopped flow technique. The reaction is general base-catalysed, having the rate law ��������������������� -d[I2]a/dt = ([SCN-][I3-]/[I-]2)Σ kB[B] where [I2]a is the total analytical concentration of iodine, [B] is the concentration of base, and where the summation is taken over all bases present. Rate constants, kB, and activation energies have been measured for the bases, OH-, PO43- and CO32-. ��� A mechanism involving the initial steps ����������������� I2+SCN- ↔ ISCN+I- �����������������(rapid equilibrium) ������������� ISCN+H2O+B → HOSCN+I- + HB+ �����������(rate determining) followed by rapid reactions of HOSCN with itself or with iodine is proposed.
