Fall-off behaviour and kinetic isotope-effects in reactions of cyclic hydrocarbons

M. C. Lin  and  K. J. Laidler  

Abstract

The geometrical and structural isomerizations of cyclopropane and the decomposition of cyclobutane are considered from the standpoint of the RRKM theory. The fall-off curves depend critically on the high-pressure Arrhenius parameters; the use of the latest values leads to good agreement with experiment in most cases. Whether or not a biradical mechanism is assumed, there is little effect on the calculated fall-off curves. The treatments are applied to isotope effects as functions of pressure and temperature. The activation energy difference ED–EH varies with pressure in a complicated way, a conclusion that throws light on apparent discrepancies between the results of different workers.
