Comments:
The A-factor given in the paper (1.41x1013 s-1) is one order of magnitude smaller than required to reproduce the reported rate constants, apparently due to a typographical error. The value listed here closely reproduces the actual rate data listed by the authors and our least squares analysis of their reported rate data.
Kinetics were determined by following pressure vs. time. Products were determined by GC product analysis.
Uncertainties are precision only and are at the 90% confidence level.
