Isotope Effect in Gas-Surface Vibrational Energy Transfer. Cyclopropane and Cyclopropane-d6 Isomerization by the VEM Technique.
Abstract
The study of varying molecular structure on the efficiency of vibrational energy transfer between molecules and a hot surface has been extended to the pair, cyclopropane/cyclopropane-d6. The latter is less efficient in energy loss, as corresponds to the greater vibrational eigenstate density. Conversely, the probability of energy up-transitions is enhanced; in thermal low pressure unimolecular reactions this corresponds to the inverse statistical weight secondary isotope effect. (Author)
