Abstract
An investigation of the cadmium photosensitized reactions of ethane has been made. It is concluded that the primary process is a C–H bond split, probably by the reactionCd(3P1)+C2H6=CdH+C2H5.The products of the reaction are hydrogen, methane, propane, butane, and higher hydrocarbons. The methane probably largely results from methyl radicals produced by H+C2H5=2CH3,and the higher hydrocarbons from recombination reactions of radicals. Two experiments have also been made on the decomposition of propane and butane.
