Abstract
Photoionization mass spectrometry was used to study the thermodynamic properties of the acetyl radical and to determine bond energies in acetone and biacetyl. From measured appearance potentials of CH3CO+ and by the use of thermodynamic cycles, the following bond energies were determined: D0(CH3–CO)=0.49±0.03 eV, D0(CH3CO–CH3)=3.34±0.06 eV and D0(CH3CO–COCH3)=2.84±0.06 eV. D0(CH3CO–H) is calculated to be 3.69±0.06 eV. ΔHf°(CH3CO) is calculated to be —0.28±0.06 eV.Keywords
