Abstract
A kinetic investigation of the gas-phase isomerisation of hexamethyldisilane between 717 and 780 K with initial pressures of 10–125 mmHg is described, and discussed in relation to other work on the thermolysis of hexamethyldisilane. The isomerisation is a radical chain reaction of three halves order, with rate constants given by k/cm mol–½ s–1= 1016.65 ± 0.70 exp[–(251 ± 8)/RT](activation energy in kJ mol–1).Keywords
