The main focus of our work has been the formulation of reaction mechanisms appropriate to the particular pyrolytic reaction; toluene, acetylene, allene, ethylbenzene, pyridine and nitromethane. The experimental technique involves dynamic analysis of the reflected shock zone by time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry, construction of reactant and product profiles from the TOF mass spectral data, and computing model profiles from proposed mechanisms. 19 refs.
