Rate coefficients for the O+C/sub 2/H/sub 6/ reaction have been measured using the high-temperature photochemistry (HTP) technique. Strong non-Arrhenius behavior is observed. The data are well fitted by the empirical expression k(T) = 1.9 x 10/sup -31/ T/sup 6.5/ exp(-138 K/T) cm/sup 3/ molecule/sup -1/ s/sup -1/. Confidence limits are discussed in the text. The results are consistent with calculations based on transition state theory and tunneling through an Eckart barrier.
