Pressure and Temperature Effects on Product Channels of the Propargyl (HC⋮CCH2) Combination Reaction and the Formation of the “First Ring”

Abstract: The propargyl (HC⋮CCH2) radical is among the critical intermediates in hydrocarbon reaction systems pertinent to both the high temperatures of combustion systems and the low temperatures of planetary atmospheres. This work reports experimental results on the nature and the relative yields of the final products of the propargyl combination reaction, C3H3 + C3H3 → C6H6 (1). Propargyl radicals, for most experiments, were generated by the 248 nm excimer laser photolysis of propargyl bromide. The 193 nm photolysis… Show more

“…When only 1,3-butadiene is present, a small signal appears at m/ z = 78 that has a very slow rise time that accounts for no more than 10% of the total when both reactants are present. This signal is likely due to the recombination of C 3 H 3 radicals (m/z = 39) that are formed by 1,3-butadiene photolysis, a process that has been observed before [53], or a reaction of C 3 H 3 with 1,3-butadiene. Nevertheless, it is clear that formation of C 6 H 6 (m/z = 78) is the predominant reaction channel in the C 2 H + 1,3-butadiene reaction.…”

“…Propargyl‐radical recombination (R351: C 3 H 3 + C 3 H 3 + M → l ‐C 6 H 6 + M) is relatively fast [e.g., Fahr and Nayak , 2000; Atkinson and Hudgens , 1999; Morter et al , 1994; Alkemade and Homann , 1989], but the reaction preferentially forms linear C 6 H 6 isomers at laboratory pressures and temperatures of 67 mbar and 295 K [ Fahr and Nayak , 2000]. However, a recent experimental study by Howe and Fahr [2003] demonstrates that the relative yields of different C 6 H 6 isomers exhibit significant pressure and temperature dependencies. Benzene was observed to form preferentially at low pressures.…”

“…They detected two linear C 6 H 6 (1,5 -hexadiyne and 1,2 -hexadiene -5yne) with yields of 60 and 25%, respectively and a third unidentified isomer. Howe and Fahr [2003] performed product studies at a pressure range of 27 mbar to 933 mbar and at a temperature range of 295 -623 K. The same two linear and three new cyclic C 6 H 6 isomers (dimethylenecyclobutene, fulvene and benzene) were identified. Benzene was a major product particularly at low pressure ($25%).…”
