A Priori Estimation of Rate Constants for Unimolecular Decomposition Reactions

Abstract

A priori theoretical predictions for the decomposition rate of the formyl and the methoxy radicals have been made by application of the Rice- Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus Theory. An Arrhenius rate coefficient expression is derived for the formyl radial decomposition, and a modified Arrhenius type rate coefficient expression that includes pressure dependence is derived for the methoxyl radical decomposition
