22. The bond dissociation energy was experimentally determined in the temperature range 203-252°C and the ethanol pressure ranging 30-750 Torr: Alfassi Z.B., Golden D.M. J. Phys. Chem. 76:1972;3314.
23. The gaseous reaction products were collected with a vacuum system and identified with gas chromatography using a TCD detector by comparing the retention times of the products with those of authentic samples. Products in the liquid phase were separated and identified by the HPLC method. The detailed identification was further carried out with the NMR method if necessary.

28. Generally, hydrogen addition to unsaturated hydrocarbons requires a catalyst at ambient temperatures. The addition reaction is considered to proceed on the surface of the catalyst. Also in the present reaction, the hydrogen addition could occur on the surface of quartz tube. The metal surface also accelerated the hydrogen addition in our metal wire experiment.
