Chain carriers, and

Styrene—butadiene block copolymers are made with anionic chain carriers, and low molecular weight PS is made by a cationic mechanism (110). Analytical standards are available for PS prepared by all four mechanisms (see Initiators). [Pg.513]

In 1919 Christiansen (25), Herzfeld (26), and Polanyi (27) all suggested the same mechanism for this reaction. The key factor leading to their success was recognition that hydrogen atoms and bromine atoms could alternately serve as chain carriers and thus propagate the reaction. By using a steady-state approximation for the concentrations of these species, these individuals were able to derive rate expressions that were consistent with that observed experimentally. [Pg.92]

Here H, OH and 0 radicals are chain carriers, and the reaction of H radical with O2 is an example of chain branching in which the number of carriers is increased. The reaction of CO with OH radical converting CO to CO2 is a particularly exothermic reaction. [Pg.254]

The rate of a chain reaction is sensitive to the addition of any substance which reacts with the chain carriers, and hence acts as a chain breaker. The addition of NO sometimes markedly decreases the rate of a chain reaction. [Pg.158]

Another type of explosion is a thermal explosion. Instability in a reacting system can be produced if the energy of reaction is not transferred to the surroundings at a sufficient rate to prevent T from rising rapidly. A rise in T increases the reaction rate, which reinforces the rise in X. The resulting very rapid rise in reaction rate can cause an explosion. Most explosions that occur probably involve both chain-carrier and thermal instabilities. [Pg.162]

Consider now a pseudo-cationic polymerization in which the non-ionic chain-carrier can form a complex with the compound R. The algebra and resulting equations are the same as above, with the one difference that q now signifies the concentration of uncomplexed chain-carriers and w the concentration of those which are complexed with R. [Pg.160]

It is generally accepted that many olefin polymerisations proceed through carbenium ion chain-carriers, and in these reactions the propagation consists simply of the successive additions of a carbenium ion to the double-bond of the monomer. [Pg.444]

Several workers have attempted to use the common ion technique to depress [Pn+] and thus to achieve a monoeidic Pn+A system, as was done so successfully for anionic systems. However, because generally the solvents used for cationic polymerisations are much more polar, the KD of the chain-carriers and of the common-ion salts are considerably greater than in the anionic systems. Therefore the electro-chemical situation is likely to be complicated by triple ion formation and the effects of ionic strength on the KD and on the rate-constants, so that any results obtained by extrapolations to infinite ionic strength need to be scrutinised most carefully. [Pg.461]

It is probable that the CH3 radical is the most abundant chain carrier and therefore, neglecting steps (vii) and (viii), the equation may be written as... [Pg.73]

The oxidation mechanism for CO depends on the presence of hydrogen-containing components. In the absence of hydrogen donors, the oxygen atom is the only chain carrier, and CO is oxidized by reaction with O or 02,... [Pg.585]

The alkyl radical may also dissociate thermally to form an alkene and a smaller alkyl radical. The mechanism that is initiated by these reactions is chain propagating rather than chain branching and for this reason the overall oxidation rate of the fuel decreases. Also there is a change from OH to HO2 as the main chain carrier, and as we have seen, the HO2 radical is much less reactive than OH. The HO2 radical is formed both from alkyl + O2 hydrogen abstraction reactions such as (R69) and from recombination of hydrogen atoms with O2, H + O2 + M HO2 + M (R5). Under lean conditions any hydrogen atoms formed will primarily react with oxygen. At intermediate temperatures the reaction H + O2 O + OH (Rl) is still too slow to compete with (R5). [Pg.597]

Minute traces of formaldehyde are formed spontaneously from methane and oxygen. Cham carriers are formed by reaction of formaldehyde and oxygen. Formaldehyde is formed by reaction between chain carriers and methane. Formaldehyde is destroyed by reaction with chain carriers. [Pg.65]

The role of hydroperoxy at the second limit leads directly to an explanation for the occurrence of a third limit (13, 36). The hydroperoxy radical, which is predominantly destroyed at the vessel wall at the second limit, will, at higher pressures, undergo an increasing number of collisions in the gas phase before reaching the wall. Thus, Reaction 45 may predominate in the gas phase over Reaction 44. This will result in a pressure-dependent increase in the number of chain carriers and lead to the formation of another limit, as shown in Figure 3. It is experimentally difficult to distinguish between such a third limit and a thermal explosion limit. It would be necessary to distinguish between thermal conduction and diffusion effects. [Pg.99]

Reactions involving intermediates are classified as non-chain or chain. A chain reaction is a special type of complex reaction where the distinguishing feature is the presence of propagation steps. Here one step removes an intermediate or chain carrier to form a second intermediate, also a chain carrier. This second chain carrier reacts to regenerate the first chain carrier and the characteristic cycle of a chain is set up, and continues until all the reactant is used up (see Section 6.9). [Pg.186]

The intermediates are CH3O, CH and CH3OCH. The best way to identify a chain reaction is to look for a cycle of steps where intermediates are regenerated, and identify them. CH and CH3OCH are recycled in steps 2 and 3 and are therefore chain carriers, and steps 2 and 3 are propagation steps. The reaction is a chain. [Pg.211]

Note well here it would not be correct to use the long chains approximation here, even though the reaction has long chains. This is because there is the inhibition step, which removes and creates each of the chain carriers, and so the rates of the two propagation steps are not equal, as is demonstrated by Equation (6.90). It will be shown later that if initial rates were used, where there is very little inhibition, then the long chains approximation becomes valid (Section 6.10.3). [Pg.215]

R is formed in initiation, but as it is not involved in propagation it is not a chain carrier and will be removed in some subsequent reaction not associated with the chain. M is a third body whose significance will be explained below (Section 6.12.4). [Pg.222]

CH3CH2CHO —> CH3CH + CHO, which would fit in with the deductions above, leaving CHO as the non-chain carrier and possible source of the trace products. [Pg.397]

Autoxidation of aldehydes is analogous to that of hydrocarbons. Acylperoxy radicals are involved as principal chain carriers and peracids are the primary products in the following manner ... [Pg.281]

A radical process involving initiation of Cl atom as chain carrier and a ketene intermediate formed via R2CCOCl was suggested. The elimination of HC1 together with CO was also observed (equations 99 and 100). [Pg.1114]

The enhanced control achieved in many new systems could be explained by either entirely new mechanisms of polymerization or by the careful selection of polymerization conditions or both. To establish a mechanism of a polymerization, it is necessary to determine the structure of chain carriers and the polymerization products as well as analyze kinetics. Because the active species are present at very low concentrations, model studies help in the studies of their nature. [Pg.331]

This shows the expected dependence of the rate on (H2) and on light intensity for a reaction in which Cl is the slow chain carrier and chain termination is 2C1 + M —> M + CI2. However, we should expect to find a dependence on total pressure, and this is not observed. At higher temperatures, Potts and Rollcfson claim to observe a law of the form... [Pg.341]

So far we have taken for granted that initiation produces a chain carrier and that termination occurs by coupling of the chain carriers. Such behavior is the norm, but there are exceptions, owing to the ability of free radicals to transmit their... [Pg.274]

Here, X is any chain carrier, and S may but need not be a solvent molecule. [Pg.275]

The result given in equation (95) is easily shown to be independent of the special assumption introduced with regard to the order of the reaction causing removal of the chain carriers, and other forms for w, such as w,. = b(aX X ) and = b a — X also lead essentially to equation (93). [Pg.175]

In fact, the values of n,m, and p will depend on the initiation pathway prevailing in the system, the values of the equilibrium constants for the relevant interactions, the aggregation state of the ionic spedes (intermediates and chain carriers), and of course... [Pg.187]
