Transients in Thermal Isomerization of Cyclobutene by the Variable Encounter Method. Vibrational Energy Transfer and Relaxation at Lower Temperatures.
Abstract
AN investigation of transients in cyclobutene vibrational relaxation by the VEM method has been made. Temperatures in the region 429 K to 778 K were used. Cyclobutene molecules isomerize to butadiene when transported above the critical threshold E sub 0. The collision efficiency of the wall increases with lowering of temperature, and strong collider behavior is obtained below 450 K. The data are described by a gaussian form of the collisional transition probability function. An exponential form of the probability function cannot fit all of the data. (Author)
