The Thermal Decomposition of Tetrahydrofuran

Abstract

Vol. 68 nitro-4-methoxybromobenzene used) of slightly brownishyellow plates, m. p. 110-112°. A further recrystallization from alcohol after long boiling with charcoal gave pale yellow plates, m. p. 112-113°.

AACVD of Molybdenum Sulfide and Oxide Thin Films From Molybdenum(V)‐based Single‐source Precursors**

“…Deposition of thin films onto glass substrates was achieved in a range of temperatures (425–475 °C for 1 , 300–450 °C for 2 ) under a dynamic argon flow for 90 min. THF has been found to be an apt solvent for AACVD experiments, as its thermally promoted decomposition produces non‐reactive gaseous by‐products; the oxygen heteroatom within the solvent molecule forms CO that does not react with any sulfur‐borne intermediates at the reaction temperatures used. The thin films were analyzed by RS, SEM, and powder X‐ray diffractometry (p‐XRD).…”

A Kinetic Determination of the Dissociation Energy of the C—O Bond in Anisole

“…This, combined with the higher pressures of the static system, ensures that the rate constants for dissociation are truly first order. According to the simple mechanism given by [I]- [4], the yields of phenol and methane should be equal and the yield of methane or of phenol should equal the yield of dibenzyl. Some of the results, showing the stoichiometry, are given in Table 1.…”

An experimental and theoretical kinetic study of the reaction of OH radicals with tetrahydrofuran

“…While some studies [9,11,[17][18][19] have focused on the initial steps in the pyrolysis of THF, and while a number of experimental and modeling studies have aimed to understand the ignition and oxidation behavior of THF at high temperatures [12,[20][21][22][23][24] , so far no experimental or theoretical works have investigated hydrogen abstraction of THF by OH radicals ( R1 ).…”
