The laser flash photolysis resonance fluorescence technique was used to monitor atomic Cl kinetics. Loss of Cl following photolysis of CCl 4 and NaCl was used to determine k(Cl + C 6 H 6 ) ) 6.4 × 10 -12 exp(-18.1 kJ mol -1 /RT) cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 over 578-922 K and k(Cl + C 6 D 6 ) ) 6.2 × 10 -12 exp(-22.8 kJ mol -1 /RT) cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 over 635-922 K. Inclusion of literature data at room temperature leads to a recommendation of k(Cl + C 6 H 6 ) ) 6.1 × 10 -11 exp(-31.6 kJ mol -1 /RT) cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 for 296-922 K. Monitoring growth of Cl during the reaction of phenyl with HCl led to k(C 6 H 5 + HCl) ) 1.14 × 10 -12 exp(+5.2 kJ mol -1 /RT) cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 over 294-748 K, k(C 6 H 5 + DCl) ) 7.7 × 10 -13 exp(+4.9 kJ mol -1 /RT) cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 over 292-546 K, an approximate k(C 6 H 5 + C 6 H 5 I) ) 2 × 10 -11 cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 over 300-750 K, and an upper limit k(Cl + C 6 H 5 I) e 5.3 × 10 -12 exp(+2.8 kJ mol -1 /RT) cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 over 300-750 K. Confidence limits are discussed in the text. Third-law analysis of the equilibrium constant yields the bond dissociation enthalpy D 298 (C 6 H 5 -H) ) 472.1 ( 2.5 kJ mol -1 and thus the enthalpy of formation ∆ f H 298 (C 6 H 5 ) ) 337.0 ( 2.5 kJ mol -1 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
