The Difference

Yields of hydrogen formed in the 60Co γ-radiolyses of pure polycrystalline samples of HBr and HCl at 77 °K decrease with increasing dose in the range 0 to 1 × 1018 eV per g. The true initial yields are G(H2)solidHClat77°K = 6.3 ± 0.2 and G(H2)solidHBrat77°K = 12.3 ± 0.3. Within experimental error these are the same as the respective liquid-phase yields at −79 °C. For doses in excess of 2 × 1018 eV per g the dose dependence is no longer significant and the yields tend toward plateau values of 3.2 ± 0.1 and 10.3 ± 0.1 for HCl and HBr respectively. The dose dependence of the hydrogen yields is attributed to the scavenging of a reactive intermediate by the halogen atoms and molecules which accumulate in the solid matrix as the dose increases.In independent experiments with an apparatus of the Klein–Scheer type it was shown that hydrogen atoms react readily with films of HBr at 77 °K. There is, however, no evidence of a significant reaction with HCl at this temperature. The difference in behavior of the two hydrogen halides may be explained by their different activation energies for reaction with hydrogen atoms. The results of the γ-radiolyses are discussed in the light of these experiments and it is suggested that the dose dependence may be a result of the scavenging of an ionic intermediate rather than a thermal hydrogen atom.

Hydrogen with ultrahigh density confined in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and first principles molecular dynamics simulations (MDSs). Hydrogen atoms injected in to the cages of the SWCNTs via atomic collisions gradually form solid H2 molecular lattice with a characteristic of spiral multi-strands structure. The concentration of H2 confined in the SWCNTs can be as high as ~ 1.77×1023H2 /cm3, and the pressure between the H2 lattice and the wall of the SWCNT can be as high as ~ 77 GPa. When the system was heated to temperature higher than 700K, a solid-liquid phase transition was observed. When temperature rose to 1000K, a few H2 molecules dissociated forming a mixed liquid of H atoms, H2 molecules, and hydrogen trimers. Electron states near the Fermi level were appeared, which were attributed to the H atoms and the trimers. The electronic properties of the quasi-one-dimensional hydrogen confined in the SWNTs were thus substantially changed.

Ethyl Radicals

The ratio of the rate constants for disproportionation and combination for ethyl radicals, kd/kc[Formula: see text]has been measured over the temperature range 298–173 K in the gas phase. Ethyl radicals were produced by direct photolysis of ethylene followed by addition of hydrogen atoms to ethylene. At low temperatures the only important reactions of the radicals were combination and disproportionation. The ratio kd/kc was obtained from measurements of the rates of formation of ethane, butane, and butene. No change in the ratio kd/kc was observed over the temperature range studied, leading to the conclusion that Ed − Ec = 0, within the experimental error. The significance of this result is discussed in relation to other measurements in both gas and liquid phase and to the nature of the transition state for this reaction.

It is suggested that the diffuse interstellar lines are produced in the interstellar gas by molecules consisting of a few hydrogen atoms and one other atom, such as CH4+ or NH4. Diffuseness of the lines is assumed to result from predissociation of these molecules.
