The paper describes a pyrolytic method of investigating the kinetics of gaseous reactions in which toluene is used as a carrier gas. It is shown that the method is particularly suitable for the determination of bond dissociation energies. The scope of the method is illustrated by various examples. A list of bond dissociation energies obtained is given. The manner in which the experimental results obtained can be cross-checked, is indicated and illustrated by examples. The effects of various constitutional factors on the bond dissociation energies are discussed.

AbstractAnnealing of hydrogenated p-type silicon with a reverse bias applied to a Schottky diode allows us to precisely determine the dissociation frequency vA of shallow acceptor-hydrogen pairs (AH with A = B, Al, Ga, and In). The temperature dependent values of vA satisfy the relation vA = voAexp (-EA/kT), with voB = 2.8 . 1014 s-1, voAl = 3.1 . 1013 s-1, VoGa = 6.9 . 1013 s-1, and voIn = 8.4 · 1013 s-1. The dissociation energies EA depend only weakly on the acceptors: EB = (1.28±0.03)eV, EAl = (1.44±0.02) eV, EGa = (1.40±0.03) eV, and EIn = (1.42±0.05) eV. The dissociation frequency of BH pairs shifts to a lower value when H is replaced by the deuterium isotope.

Abstract We present adsorption processes of dinitrogen on size-selected silver cluster cations, Agn+ (n = 1–10), studied by kinetics measurement using an ion trap. The cluster ions showed sequential adsorption of N2 molecules when the ion trap was cooled down to 105 K, excluding n = 8 and 9 that were exceptionally inactive at this temperature. Termolecular rate coefficients of each adsorption step are determined by analyzing time-dependent changes in the reactant and product ion signals. The first-step rate coefficients were found to increase exponentially from n = 1 to 7 due to increased internal degrees of freedom at larger sizes, which are favorable for accommodating the adsorption energy in a free cluster. In contrast, the adsorption rate turned to decrease for n > 7 due to weaker binding of dinitrogen as revealed by density-functional-theory (DFT) calculation. Adsorption sites on Agn+ are further discussed on the basis of the maximum number of adsorbing N2 molecules observed in the experiment.
