19. Data fitting was based on a comparison of the time evolution of all products with the predictions of kinetic model (using the Gear algorithm) for all steps in the mechanism. Rate constants were adjusted until a minimum deviation was obtained between the experimental curves and the model. The specific rate constants involving the vinylidenes were obtained by a stationary state analysis, which compared the best-fit rate constants for an individual reactant to product formation steps with predicted (analytical) expressions involving the partial rate factors for vinylidene for each pathway.
