Pyrolysis of benzene behind reflected shock waves☆

IR laser-induced metal ablation and dielectric breakdown in benzene

“…The detected C 2 , C and H species indicate that carbonization takes place primarily through agglomerization of small C n species [20][21][22] and not through transient polyaromatic hydrocarbons [23]. This view is supported by the formation of acetylene and diacetylene (identified through their respective diagnostic bands at 730 and 627 cm À1 ) which are typical side-products of pyrolysis [24,25] and carbonization [26] of benzene and which confirm that benzene is decomposed into transient C 2 and C 4 fragments.…”

The high temperature pyrolysis of 1,3‐butadiene: heat of formation and rate of dissociation of vinyl radical

“…This reaction is an overall process with a rate given by a LS study of benzene pyrolysils [471. The direct dissociation of ethylene through (15) and (16) is of little consequence under any conditions.…”

Decomposition of benzene in the RF plasma environment

“…Earlier works on C 6 H 6 destruction were mainly on pyrolysis, and were conducted over a wide range of temperatures and concentrations [1][2][3]. Bauer and Aten devised a chain mechanism for C 6 H 6 pyrolysis [4], involving initiation, chain propagation, companion and termination.…”

“…Two mechanisms have been proposed for the PAHs formation by additional rings: (1) H-abstraction-C 2 H 2 -addition (HACA) mechanism: including successive loss of ring hydrogen atoms and acetylene additions to the ring and ring closure reactions [16]. (2) Phenoxy mechanism: the phenoxy radical (C 6 H 5 O) is produced under oxidative conditions, and then undergoes ring contraction to create cyclopentadienyl radical (C 5 H 5 ) and CO. The self-reaction of cyclopentadienyl can produce naphthalene [17].…”
