Let's view chemical reaction figured on the scheme:
For accurate calculation of Arhenius factor and rate constants, it is necessary to consider internal rotation of four tops, specified on 2-methyl-2-nitrobutane . Two tops are nonsymmetric (top1, top2), two are symmetric (top3, top4), ChemRate programs suit, allow to consider the contribution of internal rotation of two types of tops.
Top1 -Potential enegry of internal rotation of
Top2 - Potential energy of internal rotation of
Top3 - Potential energy of internal rotation of Calculated values of preexponential factor for reaction on scheme, in view of only vibrational and external rotational partition functions: Lg(A)=12.82 1/c Calculated values of preexponential factor for reaction on scheme, in view of only internal rotation for top2, vibrational and external rotational partition functions: Lg(A)=13.40 1/c Calculated values of preexponential factor for reaction on scheme, in view of only internal rotation for top1, top2, top3, top4, vibrational and external rotational partition functions: Lg(A)=13.30 1/c Experimental value: Lg(A)=13.30 1/c * *
