ABSTRACT

Shock-tube experiments were conducted to determine rate-coefficient data of the H-atom abstraction reactions H + HMDSO (hexamethyldisiloxane) → H2 + HMDSO−H and H + TMDSO (tetramethyldisiloxane) → H2 + TMDSO−H. The experiments comprised a temperature range of 1109–1240 K and pressures between 1.2 and 1.5 bar. In all experiments, C2H5I was used as a precursor for H atoms. H-atom concentrations were measured with atomic resonance absorption spectrometry (ARAS) and rate-coefficient data were obtained from pseudo-first-order analysis of temporal H-atom concentration profiles. Experimental total rate-coefficients were well represented by the following Arrhenius equations: ktotal,HMDSO(T) = 10−9.49±0.36 exp(−32.4 ± 8.1 kJmol−1/RT) cm3molecule−1s−1 for H + HMDSO and ktotal,TMDSO(T) = 10−8.00±0.36 exp(−53.3 ± 7.9 kJ mol−1/RT) cm3molecule−1s−1 for H + TMDSO. Multiple reaction channels were explored by computations at G4//B3lyp-D3BJ level of theory.
