Abstract

The propargyl (HC⋮ C CH2) radical is among the critical intermediates in hydrocarbon reaction systems pertinent to both the high temperatures of combustion systems and the low temperatures of planetary atmospheres. This work reports experimental results on the nature and the relative yields of the final products of the propargyl combination reaction, C3H3+ C3H3→ C6H6 (1). Propargyl radicals, for most experiments, were generated by the 248 ...
