Abstract
Rate constants for the lowβpressure unimolecular decomposition of ONBr and ONCl in an argon bath have been determined at temperatures in the vicinity of 1000Β°K. Both molecules exhibit the usual depression of the observed activation energy below the bond dissociation energy. The Arrhenius expressions obtained are (units of cc mole^β1^ sec^β1^):
Treatment of the data by the classical RRK theory yields s β 2.7 Β± 1 for ONCl and 3.0 Β± 0.6 for ONBr. Coupling the shock tube results for ONCl with lowerβtemperature data from Ashmore and Burnett [3], one obtains s β 2.5 Β± 0.5 and Ξ» βοΈ 1. If it is assumed that s is also 2.5 for ONBr, then one finds the surprising (but tentative) result that Ξ»~ONClο£ΏAr/Ξ»ONBrο£ΏAr~ βοΈ 3 to 4.
