Subject halogen dependence

A theoretical analysis of some selected radical reactions is discussed in the following sections. Of particular interest are the reactions of highly reactive species, which have been recognized as components of the polluted atmosphere,4"6 8 such as 02, NOx, OH, NH2, alkyl radicals, and halogen atoms. The choice of reactions is, of course, subjective and depended on the author s own experience and research interests. 

Kinetics are slow and many hours are requited for a 95% conversion of the reactants. In the case of the subject compound, there is evidence that the reaction is autocatalytic but only when approximately 30% conversion to the product has occurred (19). Reaction kinetics are heavily dependent on the species of halogen ia the alkyl haHde and decrease ia the order I >Br >C1. Tetrabutylphosphonium chloride exhibits a high solubiHty ia a variety of solvents, for example, >80% ia water, >70% ia 2-propanol, and >50% ia toluene at 25°C. Its analogues show similar properties. One of the latest appHcations for this phosphonium salt is the manufacture of readily dyeable polyester yams (20,21). 

Aminoquinazolines have been the subject of considerable investigation and a large number of derivatives have been prepared as potential antimalarials. The secondary and tertiary amino compounds can be prepared from the corresponding chloroquinazolines and the required primary or secondary amines. The reaction depends on the reactivity of the halogen atom, e.g, the 4-chloro atom reacts more readily than the 2-chloro atom in quinazolines and also on the basic strength of the amine used (see 6a). The reaction is... 

Several theories have been proposed to explain the mechanisms involved in an AFID system (31). In general, thermal energy is required to atomize a particular alkali metal salt. The alkali metal atoms formed ionize and are subjected to an electric field. This produces a current proportional to the number of ions. The presence of halogen, phosphorus, and even nitrogen enhance the signal. The system is complex and does not lend itself to a complete theory as intricate surface phenomena are possible. In addition, there is speculation that photochemical processes occur and realization that combustion products formed in the flame can interact to form a multitude of species compound the difficulty. It has been proven that the process does depend on thermal energy and not strictly speaking on the products of combustion. For this reason many researchers prefer the term thermionic ionization. 

The temperature dependence of the alkyl halides was one of the first subjects to be studied using the ECD. These are the simplest to analyze because often there is only one temperature region when dissociative thermal electron attachment is exothermic. This means that the EDEA, the energy of dissociative electron attachment, is positive EDEA = a(X) - D(R —X). The alkyl bromides, iodides, and chlorides are among the few organic compounds that have positive EDEA. Like the homono-nuclear diatomic halogen ions, the ground-state anionic curves for these molecules are M(3), with positive values for all three Herschbach metrics—EDEA, Ea, and VEa. 

Certain aluminum alloys, in particular those with high mechanical strength, are sensitive to stress corrosion cracking in the presence of halogens. The sensitivity increases in the order CP < Br < P. It varies between different alloys and depends on the thermal treatment that the metal has been subjected to.
