Abstract

Experimental evidence is presented that the complex of bare Fe⊕ with gaseous 4,5-nonadiene does not undergo double-bond isomerization prior to unimolecular generation of C2H4 and C3H6. The study of deuterated isotopomers reveals that (1) oxidative addition of a carbon-hydrogen bond to the metal ion is not associated with the rate-limiting step; (2) while unimolecular detachment of ethylene is accompanied with an isotope effect kH/kD = 1.33 (loss of C2H4 versus C2H2D2), the analogous loss of propene is not subject to an isotope effect.
