The reactivity of the cluster family [Ru-3(CO)(12-x)(L)x] (in which L = PMe3, PMe2Ph, PPh3 and PCy3, x = 1 - 3) towards hydrogen is described. When x=2, three isomers of [Ru-3(H)(mu-H)(CO)(9)(L)(2)] are formed, which differ in the arrangement of their equa ...
The gasification reaction of fir charcoal with CO2 was studied by isothermal thermogravimetric analysis under kinetic control. The derived reaction rate (r = dX/dt) as a function of the converted carbon mass (X) was compared with random pore model predicti ...
This article presents recent work investigating the unimolecular dissociation rates of quantum state-selected molecules. Such studies provide the most stringent test for quantitative models of unimolecular reactions and their assumptions. After briefly rev ...
We report state resolved sticking coefficients for highly vibrationally excited CH4 on Ni(100) at well-defined kinetic energies in the range of 12-72 kJ/mol. Incident methane molecules are prepared by pulsed laser radiation in single rovibrational levels o ...
Solid epoxy resins are produced at Vantico SA by catalyzed reactions of a low-mol. wt. liq. resin (RBL) with bisphenol A (BPA). These reactions lead to solid epoxy resins, which are used in surface coatings or adhesives. The chain lengthening step (advance ...
The aim of this series of two publications is to characterise important radical reactions of organic molecules in atmospheric water phases, such as cloud, fog, and rain droplets, or on wetted aerosols. In this first study the reactions occurring in a mixed ...
This thesis deals with a laboratory study of heterogeneous reactions involving bromine and chlorine containing reservoir species on alkali salt substrates which are relevant to the marine boundary layer, and on ice substrates which are relevant to the lowe ...
Using the technique of double-resonance overtone photofragment spectroscopy (DROPS), we have measured rotationally resolved vibrational overtone transitions to the previously unobserved 5v(1), 6v(1), and 7v(1) levels of gas-phase trans-nitrous acid (HONO) ...
We use infrared-visible double resonance overtone excitation to prepare HOCl molecules in single, well-characterized rotational levels of high OH stretching states just above the dissociation threshold on the ground potential energy surface. Combined with ...
With a view toward laser isotope separation of Si, we have studied infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) of room temperature trichlorosilane, SiHCl3. Over the wavelength range investigated, multiphoton dissociation of the room temperature species exhib ...
