Abstract

Unimolecular rate data from systems such as very‐low‐pressure pyrolysis (steady‐state flow) and static experiments where gas‐gas collisions compete with gas‐wall collisions must be interpreted in terms of reactant inhomogeneity arising from finite diffusion rates, rather than using the usual assumption of a well‐stirred reactor. An integrodifferential equation describing this process is derived, and a numerical variational solution applicable to weak gas‐gas collisions is presented. This gives a powerful method for obtaining collisional energy transfer probabilities from such experiments. Previously reported data (on cyclobutane and cycloheptatriene reactions) are reinterpreted to give conventional values for average energy transfer, replacing the anomalously low collisional efficiencies proposed previously.

A readily applicable empirical formula is obtained for the collisional efficiency for energy transfer between a highly vibrationally excited reactant and a seasoned (usually quartz) wall, in terms of the molecular weight, potential well depth and dipole moment of the reactant.

The kinetics of the unimolecular decomposition of phenyl acetate into phenol and ketene, reaction (1): has been studied under very low-pressure conditions between 950 and 1120 K. In this range alternative processes such as the Fries rearrangement to o-hydroxyacetophenone or bond fission into phenox

The unimolecularity of the thermal dehydrogenation of cyclopentene has been confirmed using the technique of very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP). Application of RRKM theory shows that the experimental unirnolecular rate constants obtained over the temperature range of 942O-1152OK are consistent with

The pyrolysis of ethyl acetate has been studied by the very low-pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) technique. The results obtained agree well with the previously determined high-pressure Arrhenius parameters where log k, = 12.6 -48.0/8. The rate constants given by these parameters have also been shown to be

## Abstract The thermal decomposition of __t__‐butylmethyl ether has been studied using the VLPP technique. The recommended Arrhenius parameters for the molecular elimination, reaction (1), are __A__(800°K) = 10^1 3, 9^ sec^−1^ and __E__~a~ (800°K) = 59.0 ± 1.0 kcal/mole. No radical reactions occur

## Abstract A very low‐pressure pyrolysis (VLPP) apparatus has been constructed and shown to yield kinetic data consistent with other VLPP systems. The technique has been applied to the pyrolysis of cyclobutyl cyanide over the temperature range of 833–1203°K. The reaction was found to proceed via a
