Direct determination of parameters of activation of the unimolecular reaction of glutaraldehyde diperoxide by gas chromatography

Abstract

Gas phase thermolysis reaction of glutaraldehyde acid diperoxide (3,6-dibutanoic -1,2,4,5-tetroxane,DPAG) was performed in an injection chamber of a gas chromatograph as a constant time thermal flow reactor, has been applied to obtain activation parameters.(H=13.07  0.7 Kcal mol-1; S=-40,28  0.4calmol-1 K-1; G=35.07  0.7 Kcal mol-1) in the 453 – 553 K temperature range.
