Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the thermal decomposition of 2-cyclopentenone during biomass pyrolysis, utilizing both experimental techniques and theoretical models.
- Gas-phase pyrolysis experiments were conducted at high temperatures, revealing various products like carbon monoxide and different hydrocarbons through FTIR spectroscopy.
- Five distinct decomposition pathways were identified, including multiple H atom migrations and C-C bond ruptures, leading to the formation of compounds such as acrolein, propane derivatives, and intermediates like cyclopropenone.
The 2-butyn-1-yl radical is an isomer of CH and is structurally similar to the propargyl radical, which is the simplest resonance-stabilized hydrocarbon radical. The CH radical is likely to be important to astrochemistry and combustion, similar to propargyl, yet little research has been done on its spectroscopic properties. In this work, seven vibrational bands of the 2-butyn-1-yl radical are reported.
