The gas-phase radical-radical reaction $O(^3P)$ + $C_2H_5$ (ethyl) ${\rightarrow}$ $H(^2S)$ + $CH_3CHO$(acetaldehyde) was investigated by applying a combination of vacuum-ultraviolet laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy in a crossed beam configuration and ab initio calculations. The two radical reactants $O(^3P)$ and $C_2H_5$ were respectively produced by photolysis of $NO_2$ and supersonic flash pyrolysis of the synthesized precursor azoethane. Doppler profile analysis of the nascent H-atom products in the Lyman-${\alpha}$ region revealed that the average translational energy of the products and the average fraction of the total available energy released as translational energy were $5.01{\pm}0.72kcalmol^{-1}$ and 6.1%, respectively. The empirical data combined with CBS-QB3 level ab initio theory and statistical calculations demonstrated that the title exchange reaction is a major channel and proceeds via an addition-elimination mechanism through the formation of a short-lived, dynamical addition complex on the doublet potential energy surface. On the basis of systematic comparison with several exchange reactions of hydrocarbon radicals, the observed small kinetic energy release can be explained in terms of the loose transition state with a product-like geometry and a small reverse activation barrier along the reaction coordinate.

The OH($X^2{\Pi},\;{\nu}$"=0, 1) internal state distributions from the reaction of electronically ground state oxygen atoms with HSi$Cl_3$ were measured using laser-induced fluorescence. The ground-state O$(^3P_J)$ atoms with kinetic energies above the reaction barrier were produced by photolysis of N$O_2$ at 355 nm. The OH product revealed strong vibrational population inversion, P(${\nu}$"=1)/P(${\nu}$"=0) = 4.0 ${\pm}$ 0.6, and rotational distributions in both vibrational states exhibit substantial rotational excitations to the limit of total available energy. However, no preferential populations in either of the two $\Lambda$ doublet states were observed from the micropopulations, which supports a mechanism involving a direct abstraction of hydrogen by the atomic oxygen. It was also found that the collision energy between O and HSi$Cl_3$ is effectively coupled into the excitation of the internal degrees of freedom of the OH product ($$ = 0.62, and $<\;f_{rot}>$ = 0.20). The dynamics appear consistent with expectations for the kinematically constrained reaction which supports the reaction type, heavy + light-heavy $\rightarrow$ heavy-light + heavy (H + LH′ $\rightarrow$ HL + H′). The dynamics of oxygen atom collision with HSi$Cl_3$ are discussed in comparison to those with Si$H_4$.

유기용매인 2-propanol, 2-pentanol 또는 benzene에 triethylamine을 혼합시켜 phenanthrenequinone을 포화시킨 용액에 Excimer laser(XeCl)를 쪼인 광환원반응에서 생성된 음이온 라디칼의 초미세 분리상수 전자스핀 공명분광법과 시간분애 전자스핀 공명분광법을 이용하여 얻었다. 그 결과 초미세분리상수 A$_{H1}$과 A$_{H2}$는 2-propanol에서 1.662, 0.378, 2-pentanol에서 1.602, 0.361 G이었고, benzene에서는 A$_{H1}$은 1.518이었다. 이와같이 혼합용매의 극성이 감소함에 따라 초미세 분리상수는 감소하였고, 비극성인 벤젠 혼합용매하에서는 자기적 등가양성자에 의한 작은 초미세분리(A$_{H2}$)는 측정할 수 없었다. 특히 2-pentanol과 triethylamine과의 3:1 혼합용매하에서 trietylamine radical(TEA${\cdot}$)이 0.15~0.30${\mu}s$ 시간범위의 시간분해 전자스핀공명 스펙트럼에서 phenanthrenequinone 음이온 라디칼과 함께 측정되었다. 이와같은 용매효과의 시간분해 전자스핀공명 스펙트럼의 측정 결과로부터 불안정한 짧은 수명의 반응중간체인 스핀편극된 phenanthrenequinone 음이온 라디칼(*PQ${\cdot}^-$)의 존재를 알 수 있었고, 각 혼합용매에서 초미세분리상수를 얻었다
