The kinetics of the thermal insertion reaction of SnBr2 and SnCl2 with the metal–metal bonded dimer [π-C5H3Fe(CO)2]2 have been studied by following the change in the visible spectrum. The kinetic data are consistent with a two-stage mechanism involving the formation of a carbonyl-bridged intermediate followed by nucleophilic attack by the halides on this intermediate. The formation of the intermediate requires an activation enthalpy of 38.0 ± 1.0 kcal/mole, and an activation entropy of 45.5 + 1.5 cal mole−1 deg−1. The activation energy required to break the Fe—Fe bond is estimated to be about 32 kcal/mole.

The kinetics of the thermal insertion of SnCl2 and SnBr2 into the metal–metal bond of [π-C5H5NiCO]2 have been studied. On the basis of the kinetic data a bimolecular mechanism, involving direct attack of the tin(II) halide on the nickel dimer, has been proposed. The thermal insertion with tin(II) bromide was found to proceed with an activation enthalpy of 19.4 ± 0.2 kcal/mol and an activation entropy of −8.8 ± 0.4 cal deg−1 mol−1. For the thermal insertion with tin(II) chloride a ΔH≠ and ΔS≠ of 22.5 ± 0.2 kcal/mol and −4.0 ± 0.2 cal deg−1 mol−1, respectively, were observed.

The kinetics of the thermal insertion reaction of SnCl2 with the metal–metal bonded complex (π-C5H5)2Fe2(CO)3P(OC6H5)3 have been studied by following the change in the visible spectrum in THF over the temperature range 40.0 to 55.0 °C. The data are consistent with a two-stage mechanism involving the formation of an intermediate in which the iron–iron bond has been broken but the carbonyl bridges are left intact. From the activation enthalpy of 23.4 ± 0.5 kcal/mol for the formation of the intermediate it is concluded that the triphenyl phosphite has brought about a weakening of the iron–iron bond.

The kinetics of the thermal insertion reaction of SnCl2 with the metal–metal bonded complex [P(OC6H5)3Co(CO)3]2 have been studied by following the change in the visible spectrum in THF over the temperature range 35.0 to 55.0 °C. The activation enthalpy and entropy for the reaction are 24.7 ± 0.4 kcal/mol and 2.4 ± 1.3 cal mol−l deg−1 respectively. The data are consistent with a two-stage mechanism identical to that proposed for the corresponding reaction with [P(n-C4H9)3Co(CO)3]2 and from a comparison of the two reactions it is concluded that the cobalt–cobalt bond is slightly weakened when tributylphosphine is replaced by the better π-electron acceptor triphenylphosphite. The insertion products [LCo(CO)3]2SnCl2 are shown to undergo further reaction with [LCo(CO)3]2 to form [LCo(CO)3]3SnCl (L = CO, P(n-C4H9)3, P(OC6H5)3).

Abstract As a complement to earlier investigations, and in order to examine more closely the connection between the chemical kinetics and the changes with vulcanization time of the physical properties in the case of vulcanization reactions, we used thiuram vulcanizations as an example, and concerned ourselves with the dependence of stress values (moduli) at different degrees of elongation and different vulcanization temperatures. We found: 1. Stress values attain a limiting value, dependent on the degree of elongation, but independent of the vulcanization temperature at constant elongation. 2. The rise in stress values with the vulcanization time is characterized by an initial delay, which, however, is practically nonexistent at higher temperatures. 3. The kinetics of the increase in stress values with vulcanization time are both qualitatively and quantitatively in accord with the dependence of the reciprocal equilibrium swelling on the vulcanization time; both processes, after a retardation, go according to the first order law and at the same rate. 4. From the temperature dependence of the rate constants of reciprocal equilibrium swelling, as well as of the increase in stress, an activation energy of 22 kcal/mole can be calculated, in good agreement with the activation energy of dithiocarbamate formation in thiuram vulcanizations.

The alcoholysis of 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl-methylfluorophosphonate (soman) was examined with a series of alkoxides and in corresponding alcohols: methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 2-methoxyethanol and 2-ethoxyethanol. Soman reacts with the used alkoxides in a second order reaction, first order in each reactant. The kinetics of the reaction between 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl-methylfluorophosphonate and ethanol in the presence of diethylenetriamine was also examined. A third order reaction rate constant was calculated, first order in each reactant. The activation energy, frequency factor and activation entropy were determined on the basis of the kinetic data.

About 90% of the butanol uptake by the cockroach abdominal nerve cord washed out with half-times of a few seconds, in good agreement with an electrophysiological estimate, and the temperature sensitivity suggested an activation energy of 3 Kcal mole-1. The remaining activity washed out far more slowly, with a similar time course to that observed in a previous investigation which had not detected the fast fraction. Its size was similar to the non-volatile uptake, and was considerably affected by the butanol concentration and incubation period. It apparently consisted of butanol metabolites, which could be detected by chromatography.

Isobutene reacts readily with excess trifluoroacetic acid in ethylene dichloride solution at ordinary temperatures to give t-butyl trifluoroacetate. The rate of the reaction is given, within the range of the experiments, by the expression d[ester]/dt = k[acid]2[olefin], and the apparent activation energy is about 6 kcal/mole. The rate of addition is markedly dependent on the strength of the reacting acid and is drastically reduced in the presence of mildly basic materials, such as dioxane. The boron fluoride catalyzed addition of acetic acid to 2-butene can be considered to follow a similar rate law, i.e. d[ester]/dt = k[acid·BF3]2[olefin], but only if some assumptions are made about the position of the equilibrium [Formula: see text]since only the 1:1 complex is reactive.

ABSTRACTThe kinetics of deposition of SiO2 by the reaction of tetramethylsilane (TMS) with ozone (O3) has been studied over the temperature range 180 – 380° C and compared with available data for the same process using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). Both processes exhibit the same activation energy (17 kcal/mole) below 300 ° C which falls-off at higher temperatures due to transport limitations. Transition from first- to zero-order kinetics occurs with increasing concentrations of TMS and O3, which gives an overall O3/TMS consumption ratio of 10 at 258° C and5 at 325° C. TEOS is estimated to be 5 times more reactive than TMS above 300° C and over 10 times more reactive in the kinetically-limited regime below 300° C. Results suggest that O3-induced SiO2 deposition proceeds via surface reactions and is limited by heterogeneous decomposition of ozone.

Kinetics of the decomposition of CF3CF2Cl at 50 torr by a cw CO2 laser have been studied over a range of laser frequencies extending 36 cm−1 below an absorption band center at 980 cm−1. At constant translational temperature, the change in the rate constant with laser frequency is a factor of 100, comparable to the effect previously observed in CF2ClCF2Cl. Arrhenius plots show an activation energy of 86.2 kcal/mole, independent of frequency.

Abstract Vulcanization of natural rubber with sulfur was studied in presence of six sulfenamides, to determine the effect of the chemical constitution of the sulfenamide on sulfur decrease and on crosslinking. The results can be condensed as follows: (1) The kinetics of sulfur disappearance is in every respect qualitatively independent of the chemical constitution of the sulfenamide. (2) For the sulfenamides investigated, the smallest and largest rate constants for sulfur decrease differed only by a factor of two. (3) Greater differences are encountered in the induction times for sulfur decrease and for crosslinking. The latter are notably longer than those for sulfur disappearance. (4) The same activation energy, 23 kcal/mole, is derived from the temperature dependence of the induction times for all the sulfenamides. (5) The dissociation of sulfenamides in solution and their reaction with mercaptobenzothiazole were investigated further. The results provide the basis for a proposed reaction mechanism, which is presented in detail and can account for a number of the features typical of sulfenamide-accelerated vulcanization. (6) The drop in sulfur concentration goes at practically the same rate, if one introduces, instead of N, N-dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide, the corresponding ammonium mercaptide in equimolar concentration.
