Abstract

Using a spectroscopic complex designed for studying the kinetics of chemical reactions, the rate constant for the gas-phase reaction between a Lewis base and a Lewis acid—CH3OH + BCl3 → CH3OBCl2 + HCl—at at room temperature and pressures of 1.5–27.9 Torr has been derived for the first time. The complex comprises a reactor embedded in the optical system of a commercial AF-3 Fourier transform IR spectrometer capable of recording the spectra of reactants during the process. The reaction mechanism has been analyzed.
