TLDR
In this article, specific rate constants for unimolecular bond fission reactions of substituted aromatic hydrocarbons were measured directly using excimer laser excitation at 193 nm followed by internal conversion.Abstract:
Specific rate constants for unimolecular bond fission reactions of substituted aromatic hydrocarbons were measured directly using excimer laser excitation at 193 nm followed by internal conversion. For methyl substituted benzenes C —H bond cleavage is the dominant process while C —C bond fission in the side chain is most important for α-methyl substituted toluenes. Calibration of statistial adiabatic channel modell (SACM) calculation with these experimental results allows for prediction of thermal decomposition rate constants which are difficult to measure directly.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, a priori predictions of the capture rate for C{sub 6}H{sub 5} + CH{sub 3} and for C {sub 7,H{ sub 7} + H are obtained from direct variable reaction coordinate TST simulations.

Kenichi Tonokura,Mitsuo Koshi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the electronic absorption spectrum of the benzyl radical (C6H5CH2•) has been measured in the region of the vibrationally mixed 12A2−22B1 excited states near 450 nm by cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) in 20 Torr of argon or nitrogen diluents at 298 K.

Specific Rate Constants of Unimolecular Processes II. Adiabatic Channel Model
M. Quack,Jürgen Troe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a statistical adiabatic channel model is proposed to calculate the rate of unimolecular processes by means of a simple interpolation procedure, where the coupling between the various vibrational-rotational motions is taken into account.

Theory of thermal unimolecular reactions at high pressures
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified version of a statistical adiabatic channel model for unimolecular simple bond fission and the reverse radical association reactions is presented, and the pattern of threshold energies for individual channels is analyzed and expressed empirically.
