Intense, hyperthermal source of organic radicals for matrix-isolation spectroscopy

Abstract: We have incorporated a pulsed, hyperthermal nozzle with a cryostat to study the matrix-isolated infrared spectroscopy of organic radicals. The radicals are produced by pyrolysis in a heated, narrow-bore (1-mm-diam) SiC tube and then expanded into the cryostat vacuum chamber. The combination of high nozzle temperature (up to 1800 K) and near-sonic flow velocities (on the order of 104 cm s−1) through the length of the 2 cm tube allows for high yield of radicals (approximately 1013 radicals pulse−1) and low resid… Show more

“…We have studied the thermal cracking of CH 3 CHO in a heated microtubular (µtubular) reactor, 19,20 a 1 mm i.d. x 2 cm long SiC tube that can be heated to temperatures up to 1700 K. A dilute sample of acetaldehyde is mixed with an inert carrier gas and passed through the heated SiC tube.…”

“…Another unexpected change involves the (spectroscopically also well founded) 16.8% increase of the C−C stretching force constant on ionization of the allyl radical. To explain that, it turns out to be judicious to consider the of f-diagonal element of the force constant matrix, which represents the interaction of the two C−C stretches.…”

“…800°C in the case of allyl iodide, and 950°C in the case of benzyl iodide. The yields of radicals were optimized with the help of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer as described by Zhang et al 16 The resulting molecular beam was trapped on a CsI plate held at 10 K in a closed-cycle cryostat. IR spectra were recorded by a Bomem DA3 interferometer at 0.5 cm −1 resolution.…”

“…The dosing nozzle for CH 2 Br production is the hyperthermal nozzle described elsewhere [11]. Briefly, this consists of a resistively heated 1 mm diameter SiC tube at the output of a Parker General Valve Series 9 pulsed solenoid valve (100 Hz frequency and about 1 ms pulse width).…”
