Rate constants for the abstraction of hydrogen from benzene, toluene, and cyclopentane by methyl and ethyl radicals have been measured relative to the corresponding abstraction reaction from ethylene. The method is based on the effect on the rates of formation of methane and ethane of the addition of small quantities of the reactants to the thermal chain reactions of ethylene in the temperature range 650–770 K. Taking the following values of the rate constants for the reference reactions (R = 8.314 J mol−1 K−1):[Formula: see text]the following rate constants were measured:[Formula: see text]The values of the activation energies are discussed in relation to the dissociation energies of the C—H bonds in the reactants.

Kinetic Calculations

The hydrogen abstraction reaction of CH 3 CH 2 C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 + OH has been studied theoretically by dual-level direct dynamics method. Six H-abstraction channels were found for this reaction. The required potential energy surface information for the kinetic calculations was obtained at the MCG3-MPWB//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The rate constants were calculated by the improved canonical variational transition-state theory with small-curvature tunneling correction (ICVT/SCT) approach in the temperature range of 200–2000 K. It is shown that the "methylene H-abstraction" from the alkoxy end of the ester CH 3 CH 2 C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 is the dominant channel at lower temperature (< 400 K), while the other channels from the acetyl end should be taken into account as the temperature increases and become the competitive ones at higher temperature. The calculated global rate constants are in good agreement with the experimental ones in the measured temperature range and exhibit a negative temperature dependence below 500 K. A four-parameter rate constant expression was fitted from the calculated kinetic data between 200–2000 K.

Hydrogen abstraction by CF3 radicals from CH3COOCH3 and CD3COOCH3 has been studied in the temperature range 78-242°, and data have been obtained for the reactions: CF3 + CH3COOCH3 → CF3H+[C3H5O2] �������������(3) CF3 + CH3COOCH3 → CF3H+CH2COOCH3������������ (4) CF3 + CD3COOCH3 → CF3D+CD2COOCH3������������ (6) CF3 + CD3COOCH3 → CF3H+CD3COOCH2������������ (7) The corresponding rate constants, based on the value of 1013.36 cm3 mol-1 S-1 for the recombination of CF3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1): logk3 = (11.52�0.05)-(35430�380)/19.145T ���� (3)logk4 = (11.19�0.07)-(34680�550)/19.145T ���� (4)logk6 = (11.34�0.06)-(46490�490)/19.145T ���� (6)logk7 = (11.26�0.05)-(36440�400)/19.145T ���� (7)At 400 K, 59% of abstraction occurs from the acetyl group, and 41 % from the methoxy group. The kinetic isotope effect at 400 K for attack on the acetyl group is 25, due mainly to a difference in activation energies.

Thermometer ions are widely used to calibrate the internal energy of the ions produced by electrospray ionization in mass spectrometry. Commonly used ions are benzylpyridinium ions with different substituents. More recently benzhydrylpyridinium ions were proposed for their lower bond dissociation energies. Direct dynamics simulations using M06-2X/6-31G(d), DFTB, and PM6-D3 are performed to characterize the activation energies of two representative systems; para-methyl-benzylpyridinium ion (p-Me-BnPy+) and methyl,methylbenzhydrylpyridinium ion (Me,Me-BhPy+). The theoretical bond dissociation energies match closely with the experiment. Simulation results are used to calculate rate constants for the two systems. These rate constants and their uncertainties are used to find the Arrhenius activation energies and RRK fitted threshold energies which give reasonable agreement with calculated bond dissociation energies at the same level of theory. There is only one fragmentation mechanism observed for both systems, which involves C-N bond dissociation via a loose transition state, to generate either benzylium or benzhydrylium ion and a neutral pyridine molecule. For p-Me-BnPy+ using DFTB and PM6-D3 the formation of tropylium ion, from rearrangement of benzylium ion, was observed but only at higher excitation energies and for longer simulation times. These observations suggest that there is no competition between reaction pathways that could affect the reliability of internal energy calibrations.

Cf3 Radical

Hydrogen abstraction from CF3COOCH3 and CH3COCH3 by CH3 radicals CF3 + CF3COOCH3 → CH4 + CF3COOCH2 (1) CF3 + CF3COOCH3 → CH4 + CH3COCH2 (3) has been studied in the temperature range 117-244�. The rate constants, based on the value of 1013.34 cm3 mol-1 s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1) : logk1 = (10.39 � 0.11)- (37680 � 880)/19.145T logk3 = (11.53 � 0.02)- (40590 � 170)/19.145T CF3COOCH3 is less susceptible to attack by CH3 radicals than by CF3 radicals by a factor of 2.8 at 400 K, due mainly to a difference in A factors, since the activation energies of the two reactions are almost identical. These results can be rationalized in terms of intermolecular polar repulsion between the CF3 radical and CF3COOCH3.

Polycrystalline intermetallics Hf2Ni, Hf2Co and Hf2Fe are investigated as the hydrogen absorbers in the temperature range 348 to 823 K, under the constant hydrogen pressure of 1 bar. The absorption process was carried out in typical volumetric apparatus and H/M mole ratios together with rate constants and activation energies for hydrogen absorption reaction were determined. Achieved hydrogen absorption capacities at 573 K are: 0.60, 0.90 and 1.48 and rate constants at 573 K are: 0.38?10-3, 0.55?10-3 and 4.72?10-3 s-1 for Hf2Ni, Hf2Co and Hf2Fe respectively. Determined activation energies are: for Hf2Ni, 38.44 kJ/mol, for Hf2Co, 19.62 kJ/mol and 2.74 kJ/mol for Hf2Fe. From the obtained experimental results, it was concluded that Hf2Fe has the best hydrogen absorption ability among the examined intermetallics.
