TL;DR: It is proposed that the mechanism of the reaction involves the joining of short, homologous sites on the two strands followed by a fast, reversible zippering reaction with forward rate constant kt, which explains the temperature and the GC dependence.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on the aqueous reduction of CO2 to hydrocarbons at copper electrodes is provided in this article, covering the literature since the first report of the reaction in 1985.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple relation is given which relates the mass spectrometric data to the specific rate of the same reaction under thermal conditions, with excellent agreement with experiment, for simpler molecules.
Abstract: Ion‐molecule reactions of the sort observed as secondary reactions in mass spectrometers have been treated by the methods of the modern kinetic theory; that is, the rate of reaction is expressed in terms of the velocity distribution functions of the reactants and the cross section for the reaction. The cross section, which is calculated by means of the properties of the classical collision orbits, is found to have an inverse square root dependence on energy. The ion distribution function, which is far from Maxwellian, is found by means of an explicit solution of the Boltzmann equation. A simple relation is given which relates the mass spectrometric data to the specific rate of the same reaction under thermal conditions. For the simpler molecules, this rate may be calculated completely a priori, with excellent agreement with experiment.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the reaction rate under given reaction conditions shows a maximum as a function of dissociative adsorption energy of the key reactant, and that for most conditions this maximum is in the same range of reaction energies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a differential rate equation for silica-water reactions from 0-300°C based on stoichiometry and activities of the reactants in the reaction SiO2(s) + 2H2O(l) = H4SiO4(aq) ( ∂a H 4 SiO 4 ∂t ) P.T.
