The cyclic polyether 18-crown-6 was used as solubilizer to obtain a solution of potassium chromate in chloroform. While perfectly steady in darkness, the solution decomposes under the action of light. The decomposition reaction was monitored by measuring the decrease in the absorbance of chromate ions, and the rate constants, the temperature coefficient of the rate constant, and the quantum yield were determined. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed.

We present time-dependent percent and quantum yield measurements of a photoredox-catalyzed coupling reaction between 1,4-dicyanobenzene and N-phenylpyrrolidine. We also use transient absorption spectroscopy to examine the kinetics within the reaction and use kinetic modeling to extract rate constants and predict how changes in rate constant will impact the quantum yield.

The rate constant of the unimolecular decomposition reaction of the CF3CCl2O radical was calculated by using the method proposed by Yao and Lin (YL method). Two important channels of decomposition occurring via C–C and C–Cl bond scission were investigated. The results show that C–Cl bond scission is the dominant channel during the decomposition of the CF3CCl2O radical. Especially, the reasonable anharmonic effect on the decomposition reaction was investigated. The results show that the harmonic rate constants are higher than those of the anharmonic case in both microcanonical and canonical systems. The anharmonic effect is more evident with increasing energy.


A study of the flash photolysis of chlorine monoxide and of its photosensitized decomposition by chlorine and bromine has yielded rate constants for the reactions Cl + Cl 2 O → Cl 2 + ClO, k 1 = 4.1 x 10 8 l mol -1 s -1 , Br + Cl 2 O → BrCl + ClO, k 9 = 6.1 x 10 8 l mol -1 s -1 , ClO + Cl 2 O → ClO 2 + Cl 2 , k 3 = 2.6 x 10 5 l mol -1 s -1 , ClO + Cl 2 O → Cl 2 + O 2 + Cl, k 4 = 6.5 x 10 5 l mol -1 s -1 , 2ClO → Cl 2 + O 2 , k 2 = 2.8 x 10 7 l mol -1 s -1 . The quantum yield for the decomposition of chlorine monoxide was measured in each of the three systems and is quantitatively accounted for by the reactions given. The CIO free radical has been flash photolysed and the production of vibrationally excited oxygen in the reaction O + CIO → Cl + O* 2 ( v" ≼ 14), k 11 = 7.5 x 10 9 l mol -1 s -1 demonstrated. The same reaction is responsible for the production of O* 2 in the flash photo­lysis of Cl 2 O with radiation below ~ 300 nm. The relaxation of O* 2 by chlorine atoms is exceptionally efficient, with a rate constant for v" = 12 in excess of 2 x 10 9 l mol -1 s -1 . The corresponding rate constant for relaxation by Cl 2 O is < 10 8 l mol -1 s -1 .

The growth rates, the mutation frequency rate constants of the terramycin-resistant cells, the burst size of the phage-producing cells, and the ratio of phage to cells all have a temperature coefficient of about 2 from 20 to 35° (µ = 9 x 103 calories), with a maximum at 40°. The mutation frequency rate constant (or time rate constant) of the phage-producing cells increases from 20 to 45° with a temperature coefficient of about 3 (µ = 2 to 3 x 104 cal.). The change in the values for the growth rate, mutation rate, and cell volume occurs in less than 1 hour, after the temperature is changed. The value for the burst size of phage-producing cells changes for 3 to 4 hours. Prolonged growth of megatherium 899 at 48 to 50° results in the production of C + S phage, in place of T. Returning the culture to 25° results in the production of small T phage.

A method for constructing curves is proposed that are linear in a wide region and from whose slopes it is possible to determine the rate constant, if a parameter, θ, is calculated numerically from a rapidly converging recurrent formula or from its explicit form. The values of rate constants and parameter θ thus simply found are compared with those found by an optimization algorithm on a computer; the deviations do not exceed ±10%.

The acceleration effect of p-toluidine on the electroreduction of Zn(II) on the mercury electrode surface in binary mixtures water-methanol and water-dimethylformamide is discussed. The obtained apparent and true forward rate constants of Zn(II) reduction indicate that the rate constant of the first electron transfer increases in the presence of p-toluidine. The acceleration effect may probably be accounted for by the concept of the formation on the mercury electrode an activated complex, presumably composed of p-toluidine and solvent molecules.

Ion/molecule reactions in mixtures of ethyl chloride with C1–C4 alkylamines were studied by ICR mass spectrometry. Ethyl cation transfer to C1–C4 alkylamines proceeds mainly through diethylchloronium ions with rate constants ~3 × 10−10cm3 s−1. In the case of s-butylamine the corresponding rate constant is 0.5 × 10−10 cm3 s−1. Key words: ICR mass spectrometry, ion/molecule reactions, ethylchloride, methylamine, ethylamine, propylamines, butylamines
