Abstract
The photolysis of acetic acid (CH3COOD) vapor has been investigated in the temperature range from room temperature to 285 °C. Since CH3D formation is independent of temperature, it is certain that the primary process[Formula: see text]occurs to the extent of about 10%. The results are complex and suggest that three other primary processes may occur, viz.[Formula: see text]The abstraction reaction[Formula: see text]is of importance, and the results indicate that it has an activation energy of 10.2 kcal., and a steric factor of the order of 10−3.Keywords
