Temperature dependence of rate constants for reaction of oxygen atoms, O(3P), with allene and 1,3-butadiene

Abstract
Rate constants were determined for the reactions of O(3P) atoms with allene and with 1,3-butadiene by a phase shift technique in which oxygen atoms were generated by modulated mercury photosensitized decomposition of nitrous oxide and monitored by the chemiluminescence from their reaction with NO. Over the temperature interval 297–574 K, the Arrhenius equation for the O(3P) + allene reaction is k1A = (2.99 ± 0.41) × 10−11 exp [(−941 ± 54)/T] cm3 molecule−1 s−1, where the indicated uncertainties are 95% confidence limits. At 299 and 488 K, the rate constant for O(3P) + 1,3-butadiene is essentially the same, within 10%, with an average value of 2.07 × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1.
