Crossed-beam dc slice imaging of chlorine atom reactions with pentane isomers

摘要: We present the first in a series of detailed investigations reaction Cl atoms with hydrocarbons crossed beams. This study focuses on pentane isomers n-pentane, isopentane, and neopentane. These crossed-beam ion imaging experiments rely “universal” 157 nm probe pentyl radical product, dc sliced detection providing scattering distributions directly. The results for different target reactants were studied at two collision energies: ∼5 ∼9 kcal/mol. are quite similar all reactants, suggesting that nature abstraction site has surprisingly little influence dynamics. angular broad backscattered peak low energy sharp forward high energy. translational strongly coupled to show, scattered products, 80% both collision...
