Notes:
The shock-initiated decomposition of tetramethylgermane (1078-1242 K) has been found to involve successive elimination of methyl radicals with the rate constant k1 for the first step given by \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \log k_{\rm 1} {\rm}(s^{- 1}) = {\rm}(17.00 \pm 0.35) - (77.0 \pm 1.9)\theta {\rm kcal/mol} $$\end{document} In the presence of excess toluene the products were CH4 (major), C2H4, and C2H6. Results relevant to the reaction of methyl radicals with toluene compared to methyl radical recombination are discussed.
