Rate constants and reaction mechanisms of oxygen atoms with ethylene, propylene, and isobutylene

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    Absolute values were measured of the rate constants for the reactions between oxygen atoms and ethylene, propylene, and isobutylene at various temperatures.

  2. 2.

    Determinations were made of the activation energies for the reactions between oxygen atoms and ethylene, propylene, and isobutylene, which are equal respectively to 1350, 3000, 2550 cal/M.

  3. 3.

    The principal direction of the reaction between oxygen atoms and unsaturated hydrocarbons is rupture of the C=C double bond to form carbonyl compounds (predominately formaldehyde).
