title: Reactions of high translational energy hydrogen atoms with propane.
abstract: The reactions of translationally excited deuterium atoms with propane have been investigated by use of photochemically produced atoms of 157kJmol(-1) initial energy. The reaction mechanism was tested by comparing the results for the DBr scavenged system to those where Br(2) was used as radical scavenger. Values were obtained for the fraction of atoms undergoing "hot" reaction on collision with propane, and the relative cross sections for the interaction of deuterium atoms with propane and DBr. The effect of the initial energy of the "hot" atoms is discussed.
