The gas phase reaction between the CN radical and acetonitrile CH3CN was investigated experimentally with a CRESU apparatus and a slow flow reactor as well as theoretically to explore the temperature and pressure dependence of its rate coefficient from 354 K down to 23 K.

AbstractStellar winds of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are responsible for the production of ∼85% of the gas molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM), and yet very few of the gas phase rate coefficients under the relevant conditions (10 – 3000 K) needed to model the rate of production and loss of these molecules in stellar winds have been experimentally measured. If measured at all, the value of the rate coefficient has often only been obtained at room temperature, with extrapolation to lower and higher temperatures using the Arrhenius equation. However, non-Arrhenius behavior has been observed often in the few measured rate coefficients at low temperatures. In previous reactions studied, theoretical simulations of the formation of long-lived pre-reaction complexes and quantum mechanical tunneling through the barrier to reaction have been utilized to fit these non-Arrhenius behaviours of rate coefficients.Reaction rate coefficients that were predicted to produce the largest change in the production/loss of Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) in stellar winds at low temperatures were selected from a sensitivity analysis. Here we present measurements of rate coefficients using a pulsed Laval nozzle apparatus with the Pump Laser Photolysis - Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLP-LIF) technique. Gas flow temperatures between 30 – 134 K have been produced by the University of Leeds apparatus through the controlled expansion of N2 or Ar gas through Laval nozzles of a range of Mach numbers between 2.49 and 4.25.Reactions of interest include those of OH, CN, and CH with volatile organic species, in particular formaldehyde, a molecule which has been detected in the ISM. Kinetics measurements of these reactions at low temperatures will be presented using the decay of the radical reagent. Since formaldehyde and the formal radical (HCO) are potential building blocks of COMs in the interstellar medium, low temperature reaction rate coefficients for their production and loss can help to predict the formation pathways of COMs observed in the interstellar medium.

AbstractThe gas-phase reaction of O(3P) atoms with benzene was investigated in a flow system in the pressure range of 50–100mbar and a temperature of 295 ± 2K with a focus on the product formation. O2 concentrations in the carrier gas were in the range of (7.7–84) × 1014 molecule cm−3. The primary stable products detected were phenol, benzene oxide/oxepin and a not identified compound with the probable composition C5H6O. The yields of phenol and benzene oxide/oxepin were 0.12 ± 0.02 and 0.26 ± 0.06, respectively, being not affected by the experimental conditions. For benzene oxide/oxepin, a rapid consecutive reaction with O(3P) atoms was observed with a rate coefficient of k(295K) = (1.1 ± 0.1) × 10−10cm3 molecule−1s−1 measured at a pressure of 100mbar. A substance with the formula C6H6O2 (likely oxepin 4,5-epoxide or oxepin 2,3-epoxide), the isomers of muconaldehyde, as well as formic acid, acrolein and trans-butenedial were identified as products of the reaction of O(3P) atoms with benzene oxide/oxepin.
