## Abstract The overall rate constant for hydrogen‐atom addition to isobutene has been measured in the temperature range of 298–563 K in a flow discharge system coupled to a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Previously published results allow the determination of where the error limits are 95% confid

✦ Synopsis
The Arrhenius parameters for the title reaction have been measured in a very-low-pressure pyrolysis apparatus in the temperature range 644-722 K and are given by log kZ (A4-I. sec-I) = 9.68 -2.12/8, where 0 = 2.303RT in kcal/mol. Together with the published Arrhenius parameters for the reverse reaction from iodination studies, they result in a standard heat of formation of the t-butyl radical of 8.4 kcal/mol, accepting So(C4Hg-) = 72.2 e.u. a t 300 K from other kinetic data, and thus confirm the accepted value for AHY(t-C,Hy), a t variance with recent investigations which yielded significantly higher values. This value for AH?(t -C4Hy) results in a bond-dissociation energy (BDE) for isobutane of 92.7 kcal/mol.
