Abstract

AbstractThe photolysis of carbon tetrachloride in the presence of a number of organosilicon compounds has been investigated in the gas phase. The products obtained from the photolysis experiments were those expected from a chain reaction in which trichloromethyl radicals abstract hydrogen atoms from the organosilane. Arrhenius parameters for hydrogen atom transfer were determined relative to those for trichloromethyl radical combination. equation image The activation energies for the reaction of methyl, trifluoromethyl, and trichloromethyl radicals with organosilicon compounds are compared and the results rationalized in terms of polar effects.
