The mechanism and kinetic parameters for the thermal decomposition of four functionalized addition-polymerized polynorbornenes were studied by dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses and by mass spectrometry. The dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses showed a first-order degradation reaction mechanism with an activation energy of 229.6 ± 12.5 kJ/mol. Based on the polymer structure, reference mass spectra for related molecules, and a cross-comparison of the mass spectra, the backbone, free-radical scission mechanism was found to occur by cleavage of the linkages between bicyclic rings and the production of volatile monomer and oligomers. The degradation of polynorbornene occurred via a depropagation and transfer reaction process. Initially, the depropagation pathway was preferred, but with increasing conversion, intra- and intermolecular hydrogen transfer reactions dominated.

The kinetics of the electron transfer reaction of NADH with 12-tungstocobaltate(III) has been studied over the range 5.07 ≤ 104[NADH] ≤ 15.22 mol dm-3, 7.0 ≤ pH ≤ 8.0 and 20 ≤ t ≤ 35oC in aqueous medium. The electron transfer reaction showed first-order dependence each in [NADH]Tand [12-tungstocobaltate(III)]T. The products of the reaction were found to be NAD+and 12-tungstocobaltate(II). The activation parameters ΔH#(kJ mol-1) and ΔS#(JK-1mol-1) of the electron transfer reactions were found to be 64.4±1.8 and -48.86±6.0. Negative value of ΔS#is an indicative of an ordered transition state for the electron transfer reaction.

Hydrogen Transfer Reactions

Homogeneous hydrogen transfer reactions of methacrolein (MAL) and isopropanol (IPA) to methallyl alcohol (MAA) were investigated in batch reactor (Conv.89%, Select 93.1%) and tubular reactor (Conv.88.1%, Select 95%) using aluminum isopropoxide (Al(OPri)3) as catalyst. Kinetic experiments on hydrogen transfer reactions and reaction order were investigated in batch reactor and tubular reactor. Response surface methodology (RAM) was applied to optimize the optimum reaction conditions of hydrogen transfer reaction. Purification process of MAA from product mixture after hydrogen transfer reaction was simulated with Aspen Plus software, theoretical stages, reflux ratio and feed stage of distillation tower were optimized. Density Functional Theory (DFT) was used to investigate viable reaction pathway and to probe the catalytic mechanism between reactants and catalyst, including dehydrogenation, coupling and hydrogenation reaction. Microscopic mechanisms of hydrogen transfer reaction from MAA to MAL were acquired in detail and could be easily extended to other series of hydrogen transfer reaction.

At temperatures of the order of 250 °C., popcorn polymer undergoes decomposition to soluble polymer. The reaction is catalyzed by peroxides present in the popcorn when the latter is formed. These peroxides may be removed by extracting the polymer with benzene. The kinetics of both the catalyzed and purely thermal solubilization reactions were investigated. The rates of both reactions are first order, the catalyzed degradation having a higher activation energy and a higher frequency factor. The rate of the thermal reaction decreases and its activation energy increases with increasing butadiene content of the polymer. A linear relation between the activation energy and the log of the frequency factor, for the decomposition of popcorn polymers of different butadiene contents, was observed. The results indicate that the rate of solubilization is determined by the activation energy of the bond scission process, and is independent of the degree of cross-linking of the polymer.

The kinetics of MgATP-induced electron transfer from the Fe protein (Ac2V) to the VFe protein (AclV) of the vanadium-containing nitrogenase from Azotobacter chroococcum were studied by stopped-flow spectrophotometry at 23 degrees C at pH 7.2. They are very similar to those of the molybdenum nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae [Thorneley (1975) Biochem. J. 145, 391-396]. Extrapolation of the dependence of kobs. on [MgATP] to infinite MgATP concentration gave k = 46 s-1 for the first-order electron-transfer reaction that occurs with the Ac2V MgATPAclV complex. MgATP binds with an apparent KD = 230 +/- 10 microM and MgADP acts as a competitive inhibitor with Ki = 30 +/- 5 microM. The Fe protein and VFe protein associate with k greater than or equal to 3 x 10(7) M-1.s-1. A comparison of the dependences of kobs. for electron transfer on protein concentrations for the vanadium nitrogenase from A. chroococcum with those for the molybdenum nitrogenase from K. pneumoniae [Lowe & Thorneley (1984) Biochem. J. 224, 895-901] indicates that the proteins of the vanadium nitrogenase system form a weaker electron-transfer complex.

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of benzylamine were studied by a flow method using toluene as a carrier gas. The decomposition produced NH 3 and dibenzyl in a molar ratio of 1:1, and small quantities of permanent gases consisting mainly of H 2 . Over a temperature range of 150° (650 to 800° C) the process was found to be a homogeneous gas reaction, following first-order kinetics, the rate constant being expressed by k = 6 x 10 12 exp (59,000/ RT ) sec. -1 . It was concluded, therefore, that the mechanism of the decomposition could be represented by the following equations: C 6 H 5 . CH 2 . NH 2 → C 6 H 5 . CH 2 • + NH 2 •, C 6 H 5 . CH 3 + NH 2 •→ C 6 H 5 . CH 2 • + NH 3 , 2C 6 H 5 . CH 2 •→ dibenzyl, and the experimentally determined activation energy of 59 ± 4 kcal./mole is equal to the dissociation energy of the C-N bond in benzylamine. Using the available thermochemical data we calculated on this basis the heat of formation of the NH 2 radical as 35.5 kcal./mole, in a fair agreement with the result obtained by the study of the pyrolysis of hydrazine. A review of the reactions of the NH 2 radicals is given.
