The unimolecular dissociation of the C3H4 isomers allene and propyne has been examined using two complementary shock-tube techniques: laser schlieren (LS) and time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry. The LS experiments cover 1800−2500 K and 70−650 Torr, in 1, 2, and 4% propyne/Kr and 1 and 2% allene/Kr, whereas the TOF results extend from 1770 and 2081 K in 3% allene or propyne in Ne. The possible channels for unimolecular dissociation in the C3H4 system of isomers are considered in detail, using new density functional theory calculations of the barriers for insertion of several C3H2 into H2 to evaluate the possibility of H2 elimination as a dissociation route. The dominant path clearly remains CH fission, from either isomer, as suggested in earlier work, although some small amount of H2 elimination may be possible from allene. Rate constants for the CH fission of both allene and propyne were obtained by the usual model-assisted extrapolation of LS profiles to zero time using an extensive mechanism constr...
