An electron spin resonance study of the reactions of hydrogen atoms with halocarbons

Abstract
The absolute rate constants for the reaction of H atoms with methyl- and vinyl-halides have been determined using esr spectroscopy and a conventional gas flow system. The rate constants determined at 298 ± 2 K at a pressure of 0.55 Torr are methane, (1.7 ± 0.3) × 10−17; ethane, (2.3 ± 0.5) × 10−17; methylfluoride, (4 ± 3) × 10−15; methylchloride, (8 ± 2) × 10−16; methylbromide, (2.1 ± 0.6) × 10−14; vinylfluoride, (1.47 ± 0.02) × 10−13; vinylchloride, (1.66 ± 0.08) × 10−13; and vinylbromide (4.07 ± 0.73) × 10−13 in units of cm3 molecule−1 s−1.
