Single pulse shock tube studies on the unimolecular decomposition of large unsaturated molecules: Trans-1-phenyl-1-pentene
- National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gatihersburg, MD (United States)
Decomposition kinetics represent an important component of combustion chemistry. A challenging aspect of this chemistry involves the building up, breakdown and rearrangements of large and unsaturated structures. In this paper experiments that lead to quantitative information on the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of these large unstable species will described. The aim is to provide a base of information upon which predictions can be made. Thus the concentration on single step thermal reactions. Previously, the methodology has been employed to determine unimolecular rate constants (at the high pressure limit) for the decomposition of a large variety of alkenes, alkynes and benzyl compounds. These have also led to a determination of the heat of formation of the large radicals that are formed.
