“…The room temperature rate constants for 0 + allene and 0 + 1,3-butadiene have been shown (9) to fit adequately into the correlation of k0+,,,,,, vs. the ionization potential of the olefin. Also, the activation energies for reactions [IA] and [IB] are consistent with the correlation between activation energies for 0 + olefin reactions vs. ionization potential of the olefin (19). On the other hand, the pre-exponential factors for 0 + allene and 0 + 1,3-butadiene are somewhat larger (2-3 x lo-'') than those for most of the 0 + olefin reactions (1-1.5 x lo-'', except for tetramethylethylene, for which it is 2.1 x lo-'' cm3 molecule-' s-l) (17), reflecting, perhaps, the number of double bonds.…”
