Untangling the Energetics and Dynamics of Boron Monoxide Radical Reactions (11BO; X2Sigma+)

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA618316 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The objectives of this project are to experimentally explore the energetics, dynamics, and potential energy surfaces PESs of elementary reactions of ground state boron monoxide radicals 11BO X2 with key C2 to C6 unsaturated hydrocarbons under single collision conditions utilizing a crossed molecular beams machine. Here, we present data on the reactions of the crossed beam reactions of the boronyl radical with unsaturated C3 to C6 hydrocarbons and identify previously unobserved organo boronyl molecules relevant to the combustion of boron-doped fuel.
