The absolute rate constants for the reactions of (CH3)2N radicals with NO and NO2 were determined in the gas phase and at room temperature by using the very low pressure reactor (VLPR) technique.The rates were k(CH3)2N + NO = (8.53 +/- 1.42) x 1E-14 Cm3 molecule-1s-1 and k(CH3)2N + NO2 = (9.08 +/- 1.36) x 1E-13 cm3 molecule-1s-1.The reaction with NO2 proceeds via two competitive pathways: the recombination patway (CH3)2N + NO2 -> (CH3)2NNO2, with a rate constant k2a = (3.18 +/- 0.48) x 1E-13 cm3molecule-1s-1, and the oxidation patway (CH3)2N + NO2 -> (CH3)2NONO* -> (CH3)2NO + NO, with a rate constant k2b = (6.36 +/- 0.74) x 1E-13 cm3molecule-1s-1.The oxidation pathway is ca. 2.2 times faster than the recombination one, and the ratio k2a/k2b = 0.45 +/- 0.15.Conventional transition state theory analysis indicates that the involved transition states are loose, with the NN or bond lengths equal to ca. 2.5 Angstroem.

Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy has been used to examine the deprotonation energetics of the methylsilyl cation, CH3SiD2+, to yield silaethylene and methylsilylene proton affinities of 205 +/- 3 and 215 +/- 4 kcal/mol, respectively.These values combined with the known heat of formation of methylsilyl cation, yield ΔHof 298(CH2SiH2) = 43 +/- 3 kcal/mol and ΔHof 298(CH3SiH) = 53 +/- 4 kcal/mol.These results are corroborated by ab initio generalized valence bond-configuration interaction calculations which indicate that silaethylene is more stable than methylsilylene by 11.6 kcal/mol, in excellent agreement with the experimental difference (10 +/- 3 kcal/mol).The adiabatic ionization potential of methylsilylene is calculated to be 8.22 eV, which is lower than the value of 8.85 eV determined for silaethyene using photoelectron spectroscopy.
Hydrogen Abstraction from Amines: Formation of Aminyl vs. α-Aminoalkyl Radicals

A series of electron paramagnetic experiments were carried out which showed that dialkylaminyl radicals do not readily attack dialkylamines to form α-aminoalkyl radicals.These results disprove earlier conclusions that such processes were the major pathways for formation of α-aminoalkyl radicals in free radical reactions involving dialkylamines.By contrast, tert-butoxyl radicals were found to efficiently abstract hydrogen from amines.Rate constants for C-H and N-H abstraction by tert-butoxyl were respectively 6.5 x 107 and 1.1 x 107 for Me2NH, 6.6 x 107 and 1.0 x 107 for Et2NH, 1.3 x 107 and 3 x 106 for n-PrNH2, 7 x 106 and 3 x 106 for n-BuNH2, and 3.3 x 106 for t-BuNH2 (units M-1 s-1).
