With dimethyl mercury and dimethyl cadmium as sources of methyl radicals, values of k1/k21/2 for the reactions [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]have been calculated from 471 to 527 °C over the pressure range 0.3 to 16.2 cm. Extrapolation to the effective infinite pressure region, where it is assumed that E2 = 0, gives E1 = 9.3 kcal mole−1, log A1 = 10.8 (cc mole−1 s−1).

Using dimethylzinc, dimethylmercury, and trimethylbismuth as sources of methyl radicals, values of k1/k21/2[Formula: see text]have been calculated from 338 to 610 °C over the pressure range 4.5–204 mm. M is predominantly toluene. The observed pressure dependence of reaction [2] is in agreement with that found when M = benzene, but is somewhat greater, and the fall-off occurs at higher pressures, than for ethane dissociation. However, reasonable agreement is obtained if it is assumed that the efficiency of toluene as a third body in reaction [2] is about 1/10th that of ethane.Extrapolation to infinite pressure, where it is assumed that E2 = 0and A2 = 1013.34 cm3 mole−1 s−1, gives E1 = 8.0 ± 0.3 kcal mole−1 and A1 = 1011.07 cm3 mole−1 s−1.

A study of the reactions of trifluoromethyl radicals, produced by the photolysis of hexafluoroacetone, with propane, n-butane, and isobutane has been made. The rate constants of the hydrogen-abstraction reactions have been determined at temperatures between 27 °C and 119 °C and the activation energies found to be 6.5 ± 0.5, 5.1 ± 0.3, and 4.7 ± 0.3 kcal./mole respectively. These values are compared with those obtained for the reactions with methane and ethane, and with the corresponding reactions of methyl radicals.

The NaCaA-85 zeolite sample which works as an efficient adsorbent for CO2 at RT and in low pressure range was found and its specificity is nicely explained by the model composed of CO2 pinned by two types of Ca2+ ions through far-IR and DFT studies.

The pyrolysis of di-t-butyl peroxide has been reinvestigated and used as a source of methyl radicals to study the abstraction reaction between methyl radicals and formaldehyde. At low [HCHO]/[peroxide] ratios the system was simple enough for kinetic analysis, and a value of 6.6 kcal/mole was obtained for the activation energy. At higher [HCHO]/[peroxide] ratios the system became very complicated, possibly due to the increased importance of addition reactions.

Mixtures of ethylene and methane have been pyrolyzed in the temperature range 925–1023 K for the purpose of converting methane to higher hydrocarbons. Addition of methane to thermally-reacting ethylene increases the rate of formation of propylene but decreases the rates of formation of the other major products, ethane, acetylene, and butadiene. Hydrogen abstraction from methane is a major propagation reaction and causes a shift in the radical distribution from ethyl and vinyl radicals, the main radicals in the pyrolysis reactions of ethylene alone, to methyl radicals, which lead to the formation of propylene. At 1023 K with a pressure of ethylene of 6.5 Torr and of methane of 356 Torr, 1.5 mol of methane is converted to higher molecular weight products for every mole of ethylene reacted. The rate of conversion of methane in the homogeneous system is lower than in catalytic reactions but the product is entirely hydrocarbon and no methane is lost to carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. Key words: methane, ethylene, kinetics, pyrolysis, fuels.

A detailed kinetic study of oxidation of toluene and its derivatives by cobaltic acetate in 95 vol% acetic acid is reported. The reaction was found to be profoundly affected by a steric factor and rather insensitive to the C—H bond energy. The order of reactivities of various alkylbenzenes is quite reversal to that of hydrogen abstraction reactions. The reaction was of first-order with respect to toluene, of second-order with respect to cobaltic ion and of inverse first-order with respect to cobaltous ion. The oxidation by cobaltic ion seems to proceed via an initial reversible electron transfer from toluene to cobaltic ion, yielding [Formula: see text] which is oxidized into benzyl acetate by another cobaltic ion. The apparent activation energy for toluene was found to be 25.3 kcal mole−1, and the same activation energy was found for ethylbenzene, cumene, diphenylmethane, and triphenylmethane.
