Conclusions A general computational approach to analysis of unimolecular kinetic data has been demonstrated. The approach utilizes RRKM theory and an efficient regression technique in determining limiting high-pressure Arrhenius parameters from data in the falloff. Much of the arbitrariness involved in prediction of Arrhenius parameters is eliminated in this procedure. Considering its advantages and the increasing availability of high-speed computers, the method should find preference infuture RRKM analysis of unimolecular kinetics. Arrhenius parameters for methyl isocyanide isomerization have been reevaluated and agree well with previously published values. Resulting RRKM predictions are shown to agree wellwith experimental data. The assumption of exponential distribution of collisionalenergy transfer appears to allow satisfactory pre-diction of experimental data in this application. The temperature dependence of average energytransferred in collisions appears to be weak, if present at all, although inaccuracies in the ex-perimental data preclude distinguishing its value. With the optimal experimental design technique presentedhere, it is demonstrated that more accurate parameter estimates should come from re-gression of data defining the curvature of the knee region of the falloff rather than data at the high-or low-pressure limits.Acknowledgment.
