Abstract:
An investigation of the Cd( 3 P 1 )-photosensitized isomerization of dideuteroethylene has been made over the temperature range 275–350 °C. Principal primary products in the reaction of trans-1,2-dideu-teroethylene are cis-1,2- and asym-1,1-dideuteroethylenes. Minor products are ethane, acetylene, and n-butane, in amounts which are about three orders of magnitude smaller than those of the isomers.Decomposition of ethylene into hydrogen and acetylene, which is the principal mode of reaction in the case of Hg( 3 P 1 ), was scarcely observed for the Cd( 3 P 1 )-photosensitized reaction.The two-excited-states mechanism previously proposed (1, 2) has been applied to explain hydrogen atom scrambling and cis–trans isomerization. It has been found necessary to modify the above mechanism to explain the results.
