Thermodynamic viscous flow activation characteristics for n-alkanes and n-alkenes-1

The paper presents viscous flow activation parameters for n-alkanes and n-alkens-1, calculated from the equation of transition state theory. Transmission coefficients and true values of the entropy of viscous flow activation of n-alkanes and n-alkens-1 have been calculated from kinetic compensation effects using theses of the Shakhparonov general theory of fluid viscosity. Analysis of the data obtained allows one to conclude that the intermolecular interactions caused by weak Csigma-H(...)Csigma bonds are more pronounced is saturated hydrocarbons.
