THE MERCURY-SENSITIZED PRIMARY DECOMPOSITION OF DEUTERATED PROPANES: A MASS SPECTROMETRIC STUDY AT LOW PRESSURES: PART II
Keyword(s):
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.
