Direct Measurement of Radical-Catalyzed C₆H₆ Formation from Acetylene and Validation of Theoretical Rate Coefficients for C₂H₃+C₂H₂ and C₄H₅+C₂H₂ Reactions

Direct Measurement of Radical-Catalyzed C₆H₆ Formation from Acetylene and Validation of Theoretical Rate Coefficients for C₂H₃+C₂H₂ and C₄H₅+C₂H₂ Reactions

The addition of vinylic radicals to acetylene is an important step contributing to the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in combustion. The overall reaction 3C2H2 → C6H6 could result in large benzene yields, but without accurate rate parameters validated by experiment, the extent of arom...
