The primary decomposition of C3H8, CD3CH2CD3, CH3CD2CH3, and C3D8 was found equal to: 10, 8, 5.5, and 5%.The primary reactions were[Formula: see text]The ratio a/b was strongly affected by deuterium substitution. The numerical values of the ratio for the compounds in the order given above are: 1.2, 6.8, 0.2, 0.9. Elucidation of the underlying reasons for this surprisingly large isotope effect might throw new light on the excited mercury – paraffin interaction.

It is found that the primary decomposition involves the cleavage of a C—H bond. Both primary and secondary hydrogen atoms are lost. The relative rates of the two processes could not be determined accurately but are estimated to be approximately 1:1. It is found that at least 70% of the secondary reactions involves the interaction of hydrogen atom with a propyl radical. The main reaction is the re-formation of propane. An important disproportionation of hydrogen atoms with propyl radicals leading to propylene is shown to occur. The atomic cracking reaction H + C3H7 → C3H8* → C2H5 + CH3 is also observed. Using mixtures of C3H8 and C3D8 the relative cracking rate of n-propyl- to isopropyl-derived propane is determined to be equal to 5. This result is compared with theoretical predictions.

In a flow system and at very low pressures, the reactions of CS2, H2S, SO2, and CCl4, on pure and carburized tungsten ribbons, were studied at 1300–2000° K.In the decomposition of CS2, on pure tungsten, CS and S2 are found—in that of H2S, H2 and S2—in that of SO2, O2 and SO or S2, according to the temperature—CCl4 gives CCl2, Cl2, and Cl. H2, S2, and Cl2 molecules are probably formed by recombination on the walls of atoms produced on the ribbon. With carburized tungsten the formation of S2 and O2 is replaced by that of CS and CO. On the contrary, no decarburization occurs with chlorine.Ionization potentials of the different species are measured and the deduced bond dissociation energies are discussed.
