Abstract
The photolysis of azoethane at λ 3660 Å has been reinvestigated. The quantum yield of nitrogen formation was found to be dependent on the azoethane pressure and the temperature, indicating collisional deactivation of excited azoethane molecules.The results confirm the mechanism proposed by Ausloos and Steacie (1). For the activation energy of the addition reaction C2H5 + C2H5N2C2H5 a value of 6.0 ± 0.3 kcal./mole has been obtained, assuming a negligible activation energy for the combination reaction of two ethyl radicals.
