Abstract
The dissociation reactions giving rise to the H atoms from methylcarbene and ethyl radical have been studied on the ab initio and MINDO/3 methodical level. On the basis of the transition state theory, the temperature dependence of rate constant has been calculated by using the harmonic oscillator-rigid rotor approximation. The results which indicate equal rate of the course of both reactions are compared with available experimental data.
