Comments:
The subsequent reactions with C4H6 are allowed to proceed for 20 ís while the expansion traverses a short ceramic reaction tube or slit channel. Primary products are observed by quenching secondary processes as molecular collisions cease outside the tube. The major photochemical products C6H6 and C8H6 are detected in a linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer using both vacuum ultraviolet photoionization and resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI). R2PI spectra of the C6H6 and C8H6 products unambiguously identify them as benzene and phenylacetylene, respectively. Based on deuterium substitution experiments, a mechanism for these ring-forming reactions is proposed. The potential importance of these reactions for forming aromatics in sooting flames and planetary atmospheres is discussed
