D. Weldon et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE REACTIONS OF PHENYL RADICALS WITH 1,1-DIPHENYLETHYLENE, CARBON-TETRACHLORIDE, AND CYCLOHEXENE, Journal of organic chemistry, 61(24), 1996, pp. 8544-8546
The reaction of phenyl radicals with 1,1-diphenylethylene (DPE), carbo
n tetrachloride, and cyclohexene has been examined over a range of tem
peratures using laser flash photolysis techniques. The activation ener
gies are 0.71 +/- 0.04, 3.53 +/- 0.11 and 2.32 +/- 0.33 kcal/mol, and
the preexponential factors, expressed as log (A/M(-1)s(-1)), are 9.19
+/- 0.03, 8.96 +/- 0.09, and 9.02 +/- 0.26, for DPE, CCl4, and c-C6H10
, respectively. In particular the CCl4 data provide a much needed refe
rence for competitive studies.
