Reactivity patterns for hydrogen abstraction in alkanes sensitized by Hg(3P0)
Abstract
The relative reactivities of primary, secondary and tertiary C—H bonds in the Hg(3P0) sensitized hydrogen abstraction from alkanes have been calculated by an approach based on the theory of radiationless transitions. Isotopic effects and the temperature dependence of decomposition rate constants have also been evaluated. Theoretical results were found to be in satisfactory agreement with experiment.
