Abstract

2,4-Trimethylpentane has been photolysed at 123.6 and 147 nm at substrate pressures of 1-55 Torr, and conversions of 0.02-0.4%. Use of radical scavenging techniques show the existence of three molecular primary C₈H ₁₈ ? i-C₄H₈ + i-C₄H ₁₀ (i) ? CH₄ + C₇H₁₄ (ii) ? C₃H₆ + neo-C₅H₁₂ (iii) C ₈H₁₈ ? Me + C₇H₁₅ (iv) ? Bu^t + B^l (v) ? Prⁱ + neo-C ₅H₁₁ (vi) processes (i)-(iii). In addition to processes (i)-(iii), radical processes (iv)-(vi) also occur. Deactivation of the excited molecular and radical primary products is incomplete, and secondary fragmentation reactions occur.
