✦ Synopsis


The homogeneous exchange reaction between tetradeutero methane and ammonia was studied behind reflected shocks in a single-pulse shock tube over the temperature range of 1300-1800°K. The rate of production of CD3H at the early stages of the reaction in mixtures ranging between 1-4.5y0 NH3 and l--4.3yO CD4 in argon is given by d[CDaHJ/ dt = k b [CDa]o[NH,]o, where ka = 8 X 10'6 exp (-65.3 X lO3/RT) cm3/mole.sec. This activation energy is considerably lower than the one that may be expected on the basis of a pure free radical mechanism. It is rationalized by CtDs impurities in the methane. No clear answer can be obtained regarding the role of a four-center intermediate in this reaction.
