ChE 553 Lecture 19 Mechanisms Continued
Today • More complex reactions • When does the method fall
More Complex Reactions • Same process works • Need additional reactions • Need additional and - Betas • Need additional rules
Additional Rules: • The most important initiation reaction will be the reaction which breaks the weakest bond in the reactants (5.66) • During propagation reactions if everything else is equal, it is usually easier to transfer atoms than to transfer molecular ligands (5.67) • Should include the reverse of the initiation reactions to avoid explosions
Next: Need A Catalytic Cycle Lets start with a CH3• Radical Possible cycle
Is This Feasible? ConsiderCH3•+CH3COHCH4+CH3CO• Hf CH3COH = -40.8 CH4 = -17.9 CH3• = +35.1 CH3CO = -2.9 Kcal Hf = -17.9–2.9–35.1+40.8= -15.1 Ea = 12+0.3x(-15.1)=7.5kcal/mole
Complete The Catalytic Cycle (Regenerate The Methyl Group) Feasible for
Next Consider Other Reactions (5.71) • Hf=CH3OH=-40.8 • CH4=-17.9 • CH3=35.1 • CH2COH=~10Kca • H=10+17.9-(-40.8)-35.1=-2.2 Ea=12+0.3+(-2.2)=11.3kcal/mole Important for T>11.3/0.07=162K
Other Possible Reactions (5.72)
Next: The Formyl (HCO) Radical Produced In Still Need To Consider The Initiation Procedure should continue for H atoms H2CO
Reactions With High Barriers Example: (High barrier)
Association Reactions + X + X
Could CH3NCCH3CN Go By An Initiation/Propagation Mechanism? Middle step has very high barrier Simple rearrangement has lower barriers
Lindemann Mechanism Methyl isocyanide + X excited methyl-isocyanide + X excited isocyanide methylcyanide
Summary Of General Rules For Radical Reactions Temperatures above 700 K (More reactions happen)
Next: Reactions Of Ions • Gas phase reactions and reactions on metals generally go by radicals • Reactions in solution often go via ions • Ions more stable than radicals
Reactions Of Ions Still Follow Initiation Propagation Mechanism • Form ion • Ion reacts • Ions recombine Not necessary cycles since ion concentrations high
Key Features Of Ion Reactions • High concentrations of reactive species do not need cycles. • Ions have lower pauli repulsions: leads to additional reactivity
Example: CH3CH2OHH2C=CH2+H2O H+ Initiation: Propagation: Termination:
Ions Have Unusual Bonding: Changes Reactivity Example: Also can get intermolecular bonding
