Abstract

The reactions of the CH radical with several unsaturated hydrocarbons C2H2 (acetylene), C2H4 (ethylene), C3H4 (methyl-acetylene and allene), C3H6 (propene) and C4H8 (trans-butene) were studied at room temperature, in a low-pressure fast-flow reactor. CH(X2Π, v = 0) radicals were obtained from the reaction of CHBr3 with potassium atoms. The overall rate constants at 300 K are CH + C2H2: (3.6 ± 0.6) × 10−10, CH + C2H4: (3.1 ± 0.6) × 10−10, CH + C3H4 (methyl-acetylene): (3.4 ± 0.6) × 10−10, CH + C3H4 (allene): (3.6 ± 0.6) × 10−10, CH + C3H6 (propene): (4.2 ± 0.8) × 10−10 and CH + C4H8 (trans-butene): (4.0 ± 0.80) × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 (errors are cited at the level of ±1σ). Absolute atomic hydrogen production was determined by vacuum ultra-violet (VUV) resonance fluorescence, H production from the CH + CH4 reaction being used as a reference. Observed H branching ratios for these CH reactions were: C2H2: 0.90 ± 0.08, C2H4: 0.94 ± 0.08, C3H4 (methyl-acetylene): 0.98 ± 0.08, C3H4 (allene): 0.97 ± 0.08, C3H6 (propene): 0.78 ± 0.10, C4H8 (trans-butene): 0.69 ± 0.12 (errors are cited at the level of ±1σ). A compilation of the available kinetic data on these reactions has been made in order to propose rate coefficients for each possible channel of the different reactions for astrochemical models.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
