Abstract
Thermal electrons attach reversibly to CO2 in supercritical ethane. The equilibrium constants range from 40 to 2 × 104 m-1 for pressures from 50 to 220 bar at 33 and 37 °C. The attachment rate increases and the detachment rate decreases as the pressure increases. The lifetime of CO2- is between 20 and 100 ns in the high-pressure range. The reaction volume changes more than an order of magnitude, from −20.0 to −0.5 L/mol over the pressure and temperature ranges studied. The activation volume is approximately 50% of the reaction volume. Electrostriction volumes of the CO2- ion, calculated by a compressible continuum model, account for the main part of the observed reaction volumes. The calculation shows that the high-density region around each CO2- extends to 1 nm.

Richard A. Holroyd and Jack M. Preses, Masaru Nishikawa, Kengo ItohThe Journal of Physical Chemistry B2007 111 (24), 6684-6689The attachment of electrons to pyrazine occurs reversibly over a wide range of pressures at and above room temperature in supercritical xenon. The rate constant for attachment increases with pressure at low pressures, passes through a maximum, and levels ...

Kenji Takahashi, Sadashi Sawamura, Nada M. Dimitrijevic, David M. Bartels, and Charles D. JonahThe Journal of Physical Chemistry A2002 106 (1), 108-114Transient absorption spectra following ionization of supercritical CO2 have been investigated using the pulse radiolysis technique. Absorption spectra measured from 400 to 800 nm suggest that at least two transient species absorb. We have previously ...
