Abstract
A kinetic investigation of the gas-phase isomerisation of hexamethyldisilane between 717 and 780 K with initial pressures of 10-125 mmHg is described, and discussed in relation to other work on the thermolysis of hexamethyldisilane. The isomerisation is a radical chain reaction of three halves order, with rate constants given by k/cm1/2 mol-1/2 s-1 = 1016.65 ± 0.70 exp[-(251±8)/RT] (activation energy in kJ mol-1).
