Absolute rate constants for the reaction of O(/sup 3/P) with ethylene, propylene, and propylene-d6 were determined over the temperature range 258--861 K using a laser photolysis-chemiluminescence technique. The following empirical expressions are the best fits to the data: k/sub ethylene/ = 2.12 x 10/sup -13/T/sup -63/e/sup -1370//sup ///sup R//sup T/, k/sub propylene/ = 3.40 x 10/sup -19/T/sup 2.56/e/sup 1130/RT/, and k/sub propylene-d/6 = 3.40 x 10/sup -19/ T/sup 2.53/ e/sup 1210/R/T cm/sup 3/ molecule/sup -1/ s/sup -1/. A simple transition state theory model is shown to provide a reasonable explanation for non-Arrhenius temperature behavior.
