Abstract:
Absolute Rate Theory calculations of the rate constants for addition of Cl atoms to ethylene and to the variously chlorinated ethylenes have been made, together with Marcus‐Rice theory calculations of the decomposition rate constants for loss of CI atoms from the resulting energized chloroethyl radicals. Agreement with literature data is almost within experimental error, except for dissociation of C 2 Cl 5 ; it is suggested that in this case the reported rate may be low. The calculational models for the radicals were ethane‐like, with hindered rotation about the C‐C bond. Ethylene‐like activated complexes have been assumed; the entering (or leaving) CI atom is very loosely bonded to one of the C atoms of the ethylene; alternatively, a Gorin complex, in which the CI is associated with the entire ethylene molecule which retains its original overall rotations, was also considered.
