Selected Ion Flow Tube Study of Ion鈥揗olecule Reactions of N+(3P) and Kr+ with C3 Hydrocarbons Propane, Propene, and Propyne
文摘
Reactions of 14N+(3P), 15N+(3P), and Kr+ with propane, propene, and propyne were studied using the selected ion flow tube, SIFT, technique. Thermal rate constants in all N+/C3 systems were k = (2 卤 0.4) 脳 10鈥? cm3 molecule鈥? s鈥?, close to the collisional rate constants. With propane and propene, only hydrocarbon ions were found among the products of reactions with N+; in propyne about 15% of the products were N-containing ions (C3H2N+, C2H4N+, C2H3N+, C2H2N+), and the rest were hydrocarbon ions. A comparison with product ions from electron transfer between Kr+ (of recombination energy similar to that for N+(3P)) and the C3 hydrocarbons and further analysis of the results led to an estimation of an approximate ratio of electron transfer vs hydride-ion transfer reactions leading to the hydrocarbon product ions: in propane the ratio was 2:1, in propene 3:1, and in propyne 5:1. A fraction of product ions resulted from reactions leading to the excited neutral product N*.
