Kinetics of the Thermal Cis-Trans Isomerization of Dideuteroethylene

Douglas, John E., Rabinovitch, B. S., Looney, F. S.·1955·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

The thermal cis-trans isomerization of trans-ethylene, d2 has been studied from 450° to 550°C over a pressure range of 0.9 cm to 31 cm Hg in two quartz reactors. The rate is pressure dependent over the entire pressure range. It is concluded that at 0.9 cm the reaction is a homogeneous, unimolecular reaction. A high pressure activation energy of 65 kcal and frequency factor of 1013 sec—1 are deduced. At higher pressures the reaction is sensitized by processes attendant on polymerization, which occurs as a side reaction with propylene as the principal product. The relation of this study to other work on substituted ethylenes is discussed briefly, as well as a few other topics pertinent to the results obtained.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
