A study has been made of the pressure and temperature dependence of the rate of combination of propylene with silver tetrafluoroborate to produce AgBF4•2C3H6. Dependent upon the prior history of the salt, the reaction may proceed via predominantly diffusion control, predominantly kinetic control, or a combination of the two mechanisms. With both mechanisms, the adsorption of the olefin on the salt surface appears to exert a rate-controlling influence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
