Notes:
Hydrogen abstraction by 1-phenylethyl radicals (ṘH) from phenylmethyl-carbinol (HROH) and benzyl alcohol (H2R′OH) has been studied in the liquid phase at 120°C. 1-Phenylethyl radicals have been generated by thermal decomposition of azo-bis-1-phenyl ethane and the formation of ethylbenzene (RH2), acetophenone (RO), and 2,3-di-phenyl butane (R2H2) has been monitored during the reaction.In order to optimize the experimental conditions, a mechanism has been assumed for the various pathways of the disappearance of ṘH and by using estimated rate parameters a presimulation was performed.The relative rate constants obtained are: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{k_{\rm H} }}{{\sqrt {{\rm 2}k_t } }} = 1.4{\rm } \times {\rm }10^{ - 4} {\rm L}^{1/2} {\rm mol}^{ - 1/2} {\rm s}^{ - 1/2} } & {{\rm for}} & {{\rm HROH}} \\ \end{array} $$\end{document} and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{k_{\rm H} }}{{\sqrt {{\rm 2}k_t } }} = 1.0{\rm } \times {\rm }10^{ - 4} {\rm L}^{1/2} {\rm mol}^{ - 1/2} {\rm s}^{ - 1/2} } & {{\rm for}} & {{\rm H}_{\rm 2} {\rm R'OH}} \\ \end{array} $$\end{document} where kH refers to the hydrogen abstraction while kt is the combination rate coefficient of the radicals ṘH.
