Reaction of deuterium atoms with ethane-mechanism of methane exchange
Journal Article
·
· Canadian Journal of Chemistry
The reaction of deuterium atoms with ethane has been studied at 25 deg C by the method of mercury (3P1) photosensitization. Methane formation takes place by the addition of deuterium atoms to methyl radicals in the presence of a third body. From the dependence of methane exchange on third-body concentration the lifetime of the excited methane molecule is estimated to be of the order of 10-9 sec. The lifetime of the excited ethane molecule formed by the addition of a deuterium atom to an ethyl radical is estimated to be considerably less than 10-9 sec.
