Kinetic and Product Studies of the Thermal Decomposition of Dimethylsilane in a Single-Pulse Shock Tube and in a Stirred Flow Reactor

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100275a011

Kinetic and product studies of the pyrolyses of dimethylsilane in a single-pulse shock tube (1135-1290 K) and in a stirred flow reactor (890-1000 K ) are reported.The shock-induced reaction is accelerated by free-radical and silylene chains which cannot be quenched by trapping agents.The mechanisms of the pyrolyses in various temperature ranges are discussed and modeling results for the stirred flow and shock tube reactions are shown to be in reasonable agreement with experimental observations.Mechanisms for the decomposition of dimethylsilylene to ethylene and acetylene via silacyclopropane and silacyclopropene intermediates, respectively, are proposed.Arrhenius parameters for molecular elimination of methane from dimethylsilane are deduced (log k_CH4=14.8-73.000/2.3RT), establishing an activation energy for CH3SiH insertion into the (C-H) bond of methane of E<*>24.5 kcal (pressure standard state).
