Abstract
The thermal cis–trans isomerization of 1,2-dichloroethylene in a toluene carrier was found to follow first order kinetics at temperatures below 846 °K. Within the limits of detection, no decomposition was observed, but there was evidence of a surface contribution to the isomerization. The results, extrapolated to a surface to volume ratio of zero, give for the cis to trans conversion[Formula: see text]and for the reverse action[Formula: see text]It is concluded that previous investigations which did not use a radical scavenger most probably were observations of a mixture of radical chain, heterogeneous, and unimolecular contributions to the isomerization.
