Usage

General Description

Ethene, also known as ethylene, is a colorless, flammable gas with a slightly sweet odor. It is the simplest alkene and is commonly used as a raw material in the production of various chemicals, including polyethylene plastic, ethylene oxide, and ethanol. Ethene is also utilized as a plant hormone, regulating the ripening of fruits, the opening of flowers, and the shedding of leaves. Industrially, ethene is produced through the cracking of hydrocarbons or as a byproduct of petroleum refining. It can also be synthesized through the dehydration of ethanol. Ethene is an important industrial chemical with a wide range of applications in various industries.

The vinyl radical investigated by infrared diode laser kinetic spectroscopy

A c-type band was observed at around 895 cm-1 by infrared diode laser kinetic spectroscopy combined with the excimer laser photolysis of vinyl halides at 193 nm and was assigned to the CH2 wagging mode of the vinyl radical.The band was found to consist of two component bands separated by 0.0541(11) cm-1.Both component bands showed clearly the statistical weight in an alternative way, that is, of one shows the weight 1:3 for even:odd Ka levels, the other exhibits 3:1, indicating that the radical is of C2υ effective symmetry, executing a double-minimum motion probably associated with the C-H in-plane rocking vibration.The upper states of the two bands were found to be perturbed weakly, possibly by a Coriolis interaction with the first overtone state of the C-H rocking mode.

193 nm photolysis of vinyl bromide: Nascent product distribution of the C2H3Br→C2H2 (vinylidene)+HBr channel

The internal energy content of fragment HBr and C2H2 following photolysis of the precursor, vinyl bromide, at 193 nm was determined using time-resolved Fourier transform spectroscopy (TR FTS). Data taken 1 μs after the laser photolys

Site-specific dissociation dynamics of ethylene at 157 nm: atomic and molecular hydrogen elimination

Photodissociation of five ethylene isotopomers at 157 nm was studied using a molecular beam apparatus. From this study, complete and interesting information on the site and isotope effects on the molecular hydrogen elimination processes from ethylene were also detected. Using the new improved experimental technique, dynamical differences between different microchannels of molecular hydrogen elimination processes from ethylene were also detected. Site and isotopic effects on the molecular hydrogen elimination processes were also clearly observed.
