Abstract

Abstract: The reactions of C1-with CH3Br and CD, Br have been studied as a function of ion- neutral average center-of-mass kinetic energy,(KE,), at several temperatures. The reactions are inefficient, proceeding at only a few percent of the collision rate. Both increasing temperature and increasing kinetic energy are found to decrease the rate constant as approximately or (KE,,) 4. s. The rate constants were found to be independent of pressure ...
