The H/D kinetic isotope effects and activation volumes have been measured for several hydrogen-transfer reactions using tetralin, dihydronaphthalenes, cyclohexa-1,4-diene, and cyclohexanol as donors.The isotope effects were found to exhibit different patterns for reactions of different mechanisms.They indicate whether hydrogen is in transit in the activated complex and show the number of atoms in transit (one or two).The KIE for the reaction of tetralin with quinones is consistent with concerted transfer of two hydrogens whereas the other reactions were found to be stepwise.The activation volumes lie within the range -23 to -33 mL/mol and do not seem to differetiate among bimolecular mechanisms.The relevance to previous studies of the KIE and ΔV(excit.) for coal hydrogenation reactions is discussed.
Evidence for Concerted Transfer of Hydrogen from Tetralin to Coal Based on Kinetic Isotope Effects

The H/D kinetic isotope effects for the reaction of subbituminous coal with tetralin-d12, tetralin-1,1,4,4-d4, and tetralin-2,2,3,3-d4 are respectively 3.7, 2.0, and 2.0.This pattern is consistent with concerted transfer of a pair of hydrogen atoms from the 1- and 2-positions.It does not result from exchange of hydrogen in unreacted tetralin and is difficult to explain as an anomalous secondary effect.The H/D kinetic isotope effects for 1,2-dihydronaphthalene-d10 and -1,1,3-d3 are 2.7 and 1.1.The latter appears to be a typical secondary effect.The rate determining step is thought to be transfer of a single hydrogen from the 2-position, probably as hydride ion.The activation volume for 1,2-dihydronaphthalene is -23mL mol.This result is consistent with the proposed mechanism or almost any other bimolecular mechanism.

In an effort to determine the products and mechanism of the truly homogeneous thermal dissociation of the aromatic hydrocarbon tetralin, we have examined the products formed from this compound upon energization by infrared multiphoton excitation and SiF4-
