Comments:
Paper gives low pressure rate expression as log(ko) = -33.7 + 5.827*log(T) ?.494*(log(T))2using fitted Lindemann expression with Fc=0.37Abstractor fit low pressure rate expression to extended Arrhenius form.
MgO was generated by 193 nm excimer laser photolysis of Mg(acac)2 magnesium acetyl acetonate in the presence of O3. The time decay of MgO was monitored by LIF pumping at 499.4 nm and detecting at >600 nm. O3 was monitored by absorption at 253.7 nm using a mercury lamp. Absolute uncertainties in rate constants were estimated at 30%. RRKM analysis was used to extrapolate to high and low pressure rate expressions. Reactions appeared to be only very slightly in fall-off, thus high pressure rate coefficients should be good, while low pressure rate parameters are less certain. Quantum DFT calculations B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) to calculated geometries, vibrational frequencies, and energies of reactants, products, and transition states and to determine reaction pathways.
