The title reaction has been investigated in the temperature range of 490-573 K. Initial reactant pressures were varied in the range of 0.2-5.2 torr (I2) and 2-20 torr (C6H5SiH3). The rate of iodine consumption, monitored spectrophotometrically, was found to obey \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ - \frac{{d[{\rm I}_{\rm 2}]}}{{dt}} = \frac{{k_{3/2} [{\rm I}_{\rm 2}]^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} \!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$2$}}} [{\rm C}_{\rm 6} {\rm H}_{\rm 5} {\rm SiH}_{\rm 3}]}}{{1 + k'[HI]/[I_2]}}$$\end{document} both by initial rate and integrated equation fitting procedures. The effect of added initial HI conformed to this expression. The data are consistent with a conventional I-atom propagated chain reaction, and for the step \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$${\rm I}^{\rm .} + {\rm C}_{\rm 6} {\rm H}_{\rm 5} {\rm SiH}_{\rm 3} \to {\rm C}_{\rm 6} {\rm H}_{\rm 5} \mathop {\rm S}\limits^{\rm .} {\rm iH}_{\rm 2} + {\rm HI}$$\end{document} the rate constant is given by \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$${\rm log}k_1 (dm^3 /mol \cdot s) = (11.52 \pm 0.08) - (76.8 \pm 0.8{\rm kJ/mol})/RT{\rm ln}10$$\end{document} From this is derived the bond dissociation energy value C6H5SiH2—H = 374 kJ/mol(88 kcal/mol). A comparison with other Si—H dissociation energy values indicates that the “silabenzyl” stabilization energy is small, ≈7 kJ/mol.
