The low pressure mercury (3P1) photosensitized decomposition of hydrazine has been studied at 55 °C in a fast flow reactor coupled to a mass spectrometer. Direct evidence was obtained for the participation of N2H2, N2H3, NH2, and NH in the decomposition, and two primary decomposition modes were established[Formula: see text]

Reactions of F(2P) atoms generated by a 2.45 GHz discharge in dilute F2 + He mixtures have been studied mass spectrometrically with a beam inlet system from a fast flow reactor. F atom concentrations have been measured from the consumption of Cl2 in the simple and extremely rapid bimolecular reaction 1[Formula: see text]k1 was determined to be (1.1 ± 0.3) × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 300 °K.Rate measurements for the reaction 2, which forms CF3 radicals, are reported, over the range 301 to 667 °K,[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A less detailed survey of the rates at 298 °K of a series of reactions of F with H2, CH4, CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, and CHCl3, is also given; in these cases, the source of F was a discharge in CF4 + Ar, and [F] was measured by titration with ClNO.

The Hg 3P1 photosensitized decomposition of methanol at low pressures proceeds mainly by a dissociation into CH3O radicals and H atoms. No formation of CH2OH radicals is observed. A subsidiary reaction to form CH3 and OH may also be a primary step. Formation of CH2OH radicals at higher pressures is attributed to an abstraction reaction of CH3O with CH3OH.Two primary modes of dissociation are found to occur for dimethyl ether:[Formula: see text]The relative probabilities of occurrence at low pressures are ∼45% and ∼50%, respectively. The possibility that the second reaction proceeds by formation of an excited molecule is discussed.

The mercury photosensitized (Hg3P1) decomposition of olefins has been examined using a reactor coupled directly to a mass spectrometer. The primary split of ethylene has been shown to be predominantly molecular, and that of propylene mainly into an allyl radical and a hydrogen atom. With 1-butene the split is predominantly at a C–C bond giving allyl and methyl radicals, although a rupture of a C–H bond occurs as well. With 2-butene and isobutene a C–H bond is broken. It is concluded that the allyl and methallyl radicals produced have large cross sections for reaction with excited mercury atoms.
