Crossed Molecular Beam Study of the Reactions of Oxygen and Fluorine Atoms.
Abstract
Rapid developments in the study of oxygen reaction chemistry occurred as it is succeeded in obtaining an O(1D) beam source and commenced investigating the dynamics of several important reactions of O(3P) and O(1D). In the reaction of O(3P) with C6H6 and C6D6, two competing channels, one producing a stabilized addition complex and the other forming radical products C6H50 + H has been identified. Studies of the effects of collision energy and of deuteration were used to clarify the reaction mechanism. The reaction of O(3P) with another aromatic hydrocarbon toluene, results in competition between two substitution channels, loss of H atom and loss of CH3. In contrast to the 0 + C6H6 reaction, no stabilized oxygen-toluene adduct was observed.
