Tp. Dougherty et Ej. Heilweil, TRANSIENT INFRARED-SPECTROSCOPY OF (ETA(5)-C-5-H-5)CO(CO)(2) PHOTOPRODUCT REACTIONS IN HYDROCARBON SOLUTIONS, The Journal of chemical physics, 100(5), 1994, pp. 4006-4009
Ultrafast photochemistry of CpCo(CO)(2) in n-hexane, 1-hexene, and sol
vent mixtures (298 K) are reported. Multichannel infrared spectra (0.4
ps, 4 cm(-1) resolution) identify the vibrational cooling of CpCo(CO)
(n-hexane) and CpCo(CO)(1-hexene). The conversion rate of transient n-
hexane species to stable l-hexene product for 0.2-2.0 mol/liter 1-hexe
ne/n-hexane solutions (k = 1.4 +/- 0.2 X 10(10) M(-1) s(-1)) was deter
mined.
