Gaseous chromium fluoride monocations CrFn+ (n = 1-4) can be prepared by sequential fluorine-atom transfer from nitrogen trifluoride, NF3, to chromium cation. In addition, formal F- anion transfer to CrFn+ (n = 2-4) to yield the corresponding neutral chromium fluorides CrFn+1 is observed. In conjunction with a re-evaluation of previous data, the present results provide a consistent picture of the thermochemistry of neutral and cationic chromium fluorides. The reactivity of the CrFn+ ions towards alkanes is investigated in a Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. While "bare" Cr+ does not react with alkanes, the chromium fluoride cations CrFn+ do; CrF3+ and CrF4+ are even capable of activating methane. With both increasing oxidation state of chromium and increasing chain lengths of the alkane, the branching ratio of the possible reaction pathways shifts from homolytic C-H and C-C bond activation to hydride- and methanide-ion transfer to yield carbocations, and finally electron transfer generating hydrocarbon radical cations.

Gas phase pyrolytic studies of vanillin, which is a promising model compound of lignin-derived bio-oil, were performed using the B3LYP/6-311+g(d,p) level of theory under the DFT framework. This theoretical study unravels and elucidates the competitive reaction pathways for the production of various products and their kinetics. The reaction kinetics are presented using both gas phase and solvation models.

An experimental study of the homogeneous gas phase oxidation of propane at 350 °C and subatmospheric pressure has been performed in order to identify and to measure the major primary products of the reaction. The experimental results have been interpreted by a chain radical mechanism, deduced from these results and from estimates of the rate constants for the elementary steps obtained by the methods of Thermochemical Kinetics. The proposed elementary steps are discussed and compared with the experimental observations. The results that we have obtained and their interpretation are compared with a similar detailed investigation performed on the oxidation of isobutane. As in the case of isobutane, two parallel reaction pathways appear, a dominant one leading to the conjugated alkene (propylene) and another one leading to the epoxide of this olefin (here propylene oxide). The oxidation of isobutane and that of propane appear to be quite similar, which corroborates the results that we have obtained. Key words: oxidation, kinetics, reaction mechanism, propane, thermochemical kinetics.
