要旨

We report velocity–flux contour maps for H–D abstraction in selected Cl + alkane reactions measured by means of crossed beam scattering combined with universal DC slice imaging. The studied hydrocarbons are propane and its two selectively deuterated isotopologues, namely 1,1,1,3,3,3-propane-d6 and 2,2-propane-d2, n-butane and isobutane (2-methyl-propane), with detection of the hydrocarbon radical product by 157 nm single photon ionization. Data are obtained at collision energies of 12–13 kcal mol−1 using a high-density atomic chlorine radical source combining Cl2 photolysis with ablation. All presented scattering distributions involving secondary and tertiary abstractions show distinct differences. Their comparisons allow for revisiting the dynamical picture of these reactions in terms of the nature of the abstraction sites, radical product energy disposal, and H vs. D abstraction. Results are discussed in the light of previous work and ab initio thermochemical calculations, along with proposals to future directions for investigation.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
