Abstract
Chemically derivatized silica nanoparticles have been used in our laboratory for the study of the effects of restricted diffusion on the pyrolysis mechanisms of the organic molecules bound to the particle surface.1 The principle undergirding these studies is that immobilization of radicals in controlled environments leads to different reaction mechanisms and product slates, relative to the pyrolysis of a substance in solution or the gas phase. The silica surface models some features of the pyrolysis of complex fossil fuels wherein diffusion limitations can play a large role and may lead to atypical reaction behavior.
