The phase-shift technique has been used to determine the temperature dependence of the reaction of ground state oxygen atoms with several aldehydes. Oxygen atoms were generated by modulated photosensitized decomposition of nitrous oxide and were monitored by the chemiluminescence from their reaction with nitric oxide. The Arrhenius expressions determined over the temperature interval 298–472 K are: k1 (acetaldehyde) = (7.21 ± 1.49) × 109 exp (−1960 ± 153/RT); k1(propionaldehyde) = (7.78 ± 0.75) × 109 exp (−1727 ± 66/RT); k1(butyralde-hyde) = (9.99 ± 0.56) × 109 exp (−1702 ± 40/RT); k1(isobutyraldehyde) = (7.92 ± 1.02) × 109 exp (−1445 ± 91/RT), where the units are ℓ mol−1 s−1 and cal mol−1. The indicated uncertainties are one standard deviation. After small corrections were made for the potential abstraction of alkyl hydrogens, the activation energies of aldehydic hydrogen abstraction were used to estimate the aldehydic C—H bond dissociation energies, D(RCO—H). The trend of slightly decreasing values of D(RCO—H) thus obtained for the sequence H2CO, CH3CHO, C2H5CHO, n-C3H7CHO, i-C3H7CHO was also indicated by the aldehydic C—H stretching frequencies.
