Nm. Rubtsov et al., A long-lived intermediate product in the oxidation of monosilane and dichlorosilane at low pressures and 293 K, KINET CATAL, 41(5), 2000, pp. 585-588
An electron-vibration structure of the UV spectrum of a long-lived intermed
iate is detected during oxidation of SiH4 and SiH2Cl2. This product is comm
on to both reactions and exhibits the same promoting effect on them. It is
shown that the formation of this promoting compound in the course of a bran
ched chain reaction accounts for nonthermal flame propagation in reacting m
ixtures outside of the self-ignition region.
