✦ Synopsis
The gas-phase dehydrogenation of cyclopentene to cyclopentadiene catalyzed by iodine in. the range 178-283'C has been found to obey a rate law consistent with the slow rate-determining step, I + c-C5Hs --t HI + c-C5H, , log [ka/(l moleL1 sec-')I = 10.25 * 0.08 -(12.26 f 0.18)/0, where 0 = 2.303RT in kcal/mole. Surface effects are not important. This value of E, leads to a value of DHgge o/ = 82.3 f 1 kcal/mole and AH,,,,(o) = 38.4 f 1 kcal/mole. From difference in bond strengths in the alkane and the alkene, the allylic resonance stabilization in the cyclopentenyl radical is 12.6 f 1 .O kcal/mole, in excellent agreement with the value for the butenyl radical.
Arrhenius parameters for the other steps in the mechanism are evaluated. T h e low value of A, (compared with A, for cyclopentane) suggests a "tighter" transition state 4 "1 for H-atom abstraction from alkenes than from alkanes.

## Abstract The reaction of H radical with C~2~H~5~CN has been studied using various quantum chemistry methods. The geometries were optimized at the B3LYP/6‐311+G(d,p) and B3LYP/6‐311++G(2d,2p) levels. The single‐point energies were calculated using G3 and BMC‐CCSD methods based on B3LYP/6‐311++G(2
The title reaction has been investigated in the temperature range of 490-573 K. Initial reactant pressures were varied in the range of 0.2-5.2 torr (12) and 2-20 torr (C&,SiH3). The rate of iodine consumption, monitored spectrophotometrically, was found to obey both by initial rate and integrated e
