Previous theories of acetylene pyrolysis are reviewed in the light of recent work by Minkoff, Newitt, and Rutledge. It is shown that the relatively large rates observed at the beginning of the induction period do not agree with mechanisms involving the intervention of comparatively stable dimers. The required kinetic form is obtained, however, if a triplet diradical is produced on the surface in a bimolecular process, followed by gas phase polymerization, with some chain ending on the surface. The detailed mechanism closely resembles Flory's scheme for liquid phase vinyl polymerization. The shape of the radical is discussed, and it is suggested that the trans-configuration leads to polymerization, while the cis facilitates dehydrogenation.

AbstractWe present experimental results which suggest a new mechanism for the production of excited atoms and ions by electron bombardment of alkali-halides. Doppler shift measurements show that the electronically excited atoms have a thermal velocity distribution in equilibrium with the surface temperature. Measurements of the absolute yield of excited atoms, the distribution of population among the excited states, and the dependence of yield on incident electron current support a model in which excited atoms are produced by gas-phase collisions between desorbed ground-state atoms and secondary electrons. Similarly, gas-phase ionization of ground-state neutrals by secondary electrons accounts for a substantial portion of the positive ions produced by electron bombardment of alkali-halides.
