Abstract
Over the past decades, dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) has been researched for many uses in combustion for various purpose such as fuel, binder, etc. The formation of five-membered rings in the combustion is of great interest due to the high reactivity and toxicity of compounds that lead these moieties [1]. The cyclopentadienyl radical is one of the most abundant radical present in high-temperature gaseous environment such as flame. It is considered as a starting point of reaction pathways leading to the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to its multiple reaction sites and its ability of self-recombination [2]. Qualitatively, there is a large agreement that the chemistry of cyclopentadienyl radical plays a significant role in the formation of naphthalene and phenanthrene [3]. The kinetics of the reaction between two cyclopentadienyl radical has been the subject of several investigations since it was proposed by Melius et al. [4] that it can be one of the major production pathways for naphthalene [2].
