Vv. Dudorov, MACROSCOPIC MECHANISMS OF MONOMOLECULAR THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF CHROMIUM BIS-ARENE COMPOUNDS, Journal of applied chemistry of the USSR, 65(11), 1992, pp. 1977-1982
Three macroscopic mechanisms of thermal decomposition of chromium bis-
arene compounds were established in the kinetic region: homogeneous, h
omogeneous-heterogeneous, and heterogeneous, confirmed by the agreemen
t of the calculated and published empirical kinetic parameters. The pr
iority of any mechanism is determined by a set of external and interna
l parameters of the system included in the theoretical equation for th
e overall macroscopic rate constant of thermal decomposition, consisti
ng of three independent terms corresponding to each mechanism.
