✦ Synopsis

The recombination of methyl radicals in low pressures of hydrogen, helium, and nitrogen to form ethane controls the concentrations observed for methyl and the photochemical synthesis of higher hydrocarbons above the Jovian planets. Few measured or theoretical rate constants are available to provide reliable model predictions. RRKM and master equation calculations are reported here, using three levels of transition state detail, to describe existing data and provide consistent and reliable expressions for this rate constant at 65-300 K and any pressure. This gives k 1 ¼ 3:59 Â 10 À10 T À:262 e À37=T cm 3 /molec/s and k 0 ðH 2 Þ ¼ 3:32 Â 10 À15 T À4:28 e À131=T cm 6 /molec 2 /s.

## Abstract Rate constants are calculated for CH~3~ (+ Ar) ⇄ CH~2~ + H (+ Ar) at the limiting low‐pressure, the limiting high‐pressure, as well as the intermediate fall‐off ranges. The results show that published experimental rate constants for methyl dissociation correspond to the fall‐off region
