was also investigated. It was found that there was no effect on SF6 suggests that the dimethylsilaethene is formed initially in a vibrationally excited state: Me2SiCH2CH2CH2 + hv -Me2SiCH2v + CH2 = CH2. Laser pulsed photolysis experiments at 193 nm have been carried out to measure the absorption spectrum of Me2SiCH2, its absorption cross section, and the rate constant for Me2SCH2 combination: 2Me2SiCH2 -*• (Me2SiCH2)2. The values obtained are a (240 nm, base e) = (1.0 0.2) X 10~17 cm2 and k7 = (3.3 ± 0.8) X 10"11 cm3s"1. The kinetics of the pyrolysis of Me2SiCH2CH2CH2 have also been reexamined, yielding the following rate constant expressions: k\¡{s"1) = io15-46±0•13 exp(-(31043 ± 218)/7) and k_f kJ!2 / (crcy'l2 s"1/2) = 10"70±0'3 exp(-(7850 ± 300)/ ').From these results, the heat of formation, -bond energy, and entropy, of Me2SiCH2, have been deduced: *{g, 298 K
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.
