Abstract
The ionization potentials of ethyl, isopropyl, and propargyl radicals have been measured by electron impact on radicals produced by thermal decomposition of appropriate compounds. The values are:ethyl 8.78±0.05 ev., isopropyl 7.90±0.05 ev., and propargyl 8.25±0.08 ev. From the appearance potentials of these ions in various compounds, the following values of bond dissociation energies were obtained:[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] assuming no kinetic energy of the products.
