The addition of dimethylarsine to hexafluorobutyne-2 follows second order kinetics with activation energy, 6.09 ± 0.20 kcal/mole, and activation entropy, −48 ± 1 e.u. The product distribution of the competitive reaction of dimethylarsenic deuteride and diethylarsine with the acetylene shows that the addition mainly involves an intermolecular proton transfer. The mechanism of the addition is discussed.

Kinetics of BrO decomposition was studied between 293 and 673 °K using the technique of kinetic spectroscopy. At 293 °K the reaction rate is second order with respect to BrO and is independent of [Br2], [O2], and total pressure of diluent gas. The activation energy for decomposition obtained from rate measurements between 293 and 450 °K is 0.65 ± 0.05 kcal/mole. Above 450 °K this activation energy appears to increase to 4.5 kcal/mole. It is shown that, although kinetically the ClO and BrO decompositions are similar, the mechanism for BrO decomposition below 450 °K is much simpler than that of ClO. The reaction proceeds, most likely, via one step: 2 BrO → 2 Br + O2, with Br2O2 being an activated complex, which has either linear or staggered configuration. ClO and BrO decomposition is compared with [Formula: see text] reaction.

The sulfur–sulfur bond of α-disulfones is attacked by hydroxide ion in alcohol to yield sulfinate and sulfonate ion by a second-order reaction, first order in each of the reactants. With aromatic disulfones the ρ value of the Hammett equation is 0.2. The Arrhenius activation energy of the reaction of p-tolyl disulfone is 7.95 kcal/mole.

The formation of nitrogen monomers by the reaction of Ru(NH3)5(H2O)2+ and cis-Ru(NH3)4(H2O)22+ with N2 has been shown to be first order in N2 and second order overall. The formation of bridging N2 dimers by the reaction of the ruthenium(II) pentaammine and tetraammine with the monomers has been shown to be second order overall.The reactions were studied in a H2SO4–K2SO4 electrolyte pH 3.3, μ = 0.30. The ruthenium(II) species were prepared by controlled potential reduction of known ruthenium(III) species at −0.50 V at a Hg cathode. The reactions of the reduced species with N2 or the monomers were followed spectrophotometrically.The second order rate constant at 25 °C and the activation energy for the substrate Ru(NH3)5(H2O)2+ with the respective nucleophiles are: N2, 8.0 × 10−2 M−1 s−1, 22.0 ± 0.1 kcal/mole; Ru(NH3)5N22+, 3.6 × 10−2 M−1 s−1, 19.9 ± 0.5 kcal/mole; Ru(NH3)4(H2O)N22+, 2.7 × 10−2 M−1 s−1, 20.4 ± 0.8 kcal/mole. For the substrate cis-Ru(NH3)4(H2O)22+ the values are: N2, 1.0 × 10−1 M−1 s−1, 20.4 ± 0.2 kcal/mole; Ru(NH3)5N22+, 6.8 × 10−2 M−1 s−1, 18.2 ± 0.1 kcal/mole; Ru(NH3)4(H2O)N22+, 7.2 × 10−2 M −1 s−1, 17.1 ± 0.2 kcal/mole.

The substitution of thiocyanate ion into the cis-chlorodimethylsulphoxidobisethylenediaminecobalt(III) ion, cis-(Coen2(DMSO)Cl)2+, has been studied in the solvents dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and NN-dimethylformamide (DMF). In DMSO the reaction shows second-order characteristics which are accounted for by an ion-pair dissociative mechanism (SNIIP). The activation energy is 30.1 kcal mole-1. In DMF the entry is first-order, the rate determining step being solvolysis to the intermediate cis-(Coen2(DMF)Cl)2+ which has been isolated as the nitrate. In high thiocyanate concentrations the rate shows some thiocyanate dependence due to the competition of ion-paired thiocyanate with the DMF solvent for coordination following the DMSO dissociation. The activation energy for this substitution is 17.5 kcal mole-1.

Degradation of SAN 6706 [4-chloro-5-(dimethylamino)-2-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone] and SAN 9789 [4-chloro-5-(methylamino)-2-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)-3 (2H)-pyridazinone] was studied in a sandy loam soil at temperatures of 5, 20, and 35 C. After 210 days of incubation 10, 80, and 97% of SAN 6706 had been dissipated from soil at 5, 20, and 35 C., respectively. SAN 6706 was converted to SAN 9789 and a demethylated metabolite in the soil. SAN 9789 was converted to the demethylated metabolite. It was difficult to differentiate between first and second-order kinetics in the degradation of these compounds. SAN 6706, at 20 and 35 C, had a half life of 50 and 9 days respectively, and an Arrhenius activation energy of 15.8 Kcal/mole. SAN 9789, at 20 and 35 C, had a half life of 270 and 70 days, respectively, and an activation energy of 11.8 Kcal/mole. The degradation of SAN 6706 was inhibited by a chloroform treatment, and microbiological degradation is suggested.

Abstract In this work, the kinetics of the thermal vulcanization of Perbunan were studied with and without additives. The following results were obtained : 1. The pure thermal vulcanization of Perbunan is a very slow process which obeys a second order rate law. A limiting value of the crosslinking (reciprocal limit of equilibrium swelling) is reached, which limit is independent of the temperature. The activation energy is 23.3 kcal/mole. 2. The thermal vulcanization can be inhibited by hydroquinone but not by benzoquinone. 3. The thermal vulcanization of Perbunan can be considerably accelerated by MBTS, and other materials, and the reaction also follows a second order course. The activation starts suddenly after the expiration of an induction period, which decreases with increase in temperature. The activation energy is about 27 kcal/mole. 4. In a thermal vulcanization accelerated with MBTS, a portion of the MBTS is changed over into MBT ; the amount changed is independent of temperature. Perbunan takes up MBTS in the form of molecular fragments, in stable combination. 5. The reduction in MBTS (which falls to zero) and the increase in MBT follow a first order reaction and have the same activation energy which is also identical with the energy of activation of the accelerated crosslinking. The formation of MBT is the slower of the two reactions. 6. The rate constants for the decrease in MBTS and for the increase in MBT are independent of the starting amount of MBTS, and hence we consider that this is a unimolecular process (homolysis). 7. The rate constant for the second order crosslinking reaction increases with the square root of the initial benzothiazolyl disulfide content. 8. It is indicated that the above data must be explained, with the aid of experience in the realm of polymerization kinetics. The investigations are being continued.

The kinetics of the thermal insertion reaction of SnBr2 and SnCl2 with the metal–metal bonded dimer [π-C5H3Fe(CO)2]2 have been studied by following the change in the visible spectrum. The kinetic data are consistent with a two-stage mechanism involving the formation of a carbonyl-bridged intermediate followed by nucleophilic attack by the halides on this intermediate. The formation of the intermediate requires an activation enthalpy of 38.0 ± 1.0 kcal/mole, and an activation entropy of 45.5 + 1.5 cal mole−1 deg−1. The activation energy required to break the Fe—Fe bond is estimated to be about 32 kcal/mole.

Desorption spectra have been obtained for successively increasing amounts of nitrogen adsorbed on three polycrystalline tungsten wires at room temperature. Two β phases were desorbed, β1 with first-order kinetics and an activation energy of 73 kcal/mole and β2with second-order kinetics and an activation energy of 75 kcal/mole. Surface impurities such as carbon or thorium reduced the size of the β1 phase. Mass spectrometric evidence showed that the small α phase was adsorbed as molecules, and the β1 and β2 phases were adsorbed as atoms.

Abstract As a complement to earlier investigations, and in order to examine more closely the connection between the chemical kinetics and the changes with vulcanization time of the physical properties in the case of vulcanization reactions, we used thiuram vulcanizations as an example, and concerned ourselves with the dependence of stress values (moduli) at different degrees of elongation and different vulcanization temperatures. We found: 1. Stress values attain a limiting value, dependent on the degree of elongation, but independent of the vulcanization temperature at constant elongation. 2. The rise in stress values with the vulcanization time is characterized by an initial delay, which, however, is practically nonexistent at higher temperatures. 3. The kinetics of the increase in stress values with vulcanization time are both qualitatively and quantitatively in accord with the dependence of the reciprocal equilibrium swelling on the vulcanization time; both processes, after a retardation, go according to the first order law and at the same rate. 4. From the temperature dependence of the rate constants of reciprocal equilibrium swelling, as well as of the increase in stress, an activation energy of 22 kcal/mole can be calculated, in good agreement with the activation energy of dithiocarbamate formation in thiuram vulcanizations.


Mixtures of methane and oxygen behave in a reproducible manner at temperatures of 440 to 520°C and initial pressures of 100 to 350 mm when reacting in Pyrex vessels freshly cleaned with hydrofluoric acid. The apparent order of the reaction ranged from 2∙3 to 2∙6 and the overall activation energy from 29 to 41 kcal/mole. Analyses of the products formed have been made, together with measurements of pressure change. Formaldehyde is formed from the commencement of the reaction including the induction period, but its concentra­tion reaches a maximum near the stage where the pressure rise is a maximum, and then falls off. Hydrogen peroxide is also formed, less rapidly in the earliest stage, but its rate of formation overtakes that of formaldehyde and it reaches an even higher concentration. No other peroxides were detected, nor was methanol found. Hydrogen was present in the gaseous products. These observations are not in full accord with some of the conclusions derived from earlier investigations.
