摘要
Radical-radical reactions contribute to molecular weight growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), but their role is not well understood. The phenyl (Ph, C6H5) + cyclopentadienyl (C5H5) reaction has not been studied but can serve as a surrogate reaction for many reactions of larger aryl-a radicals with resonance-stabilized ir-radicals. The adducts of these reactions easily lose an H atom to produce a new ir-radical. Through a combination of dilute flash pyrolysis experiments, theory, and simulation, we find that for the title reaction, substantial Ph -C5H4 + H is formed, dominantly by a well-skipping pathway, at conditions around 30 Torr and 1400 K. This radical is thermally stable at moderate temper-atures but decomposes at higher temperatures following ring opening of the 5-member ring. Products corresponding to the loss of H, C2H2, and C3H3 are observed experimentally. Calculation of the C11H9 potential energy surface affirms that these are expected decomposition products and reveals multiple possible pathways. (c) 2022 The Combustion Institute.
