Abstract
The hydroxymethyl radical, CH/sub 2/OH, has been detected by the method of resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization mass spectroscopy. Radicals were produced via hydrogen abstraction from CH/sub 3/OH by fluorine atoms in a discharge flow reactor. Tunable laser radiation between 427 and 490 nm ionized the CH/sub 2/OH radicals. The identity of the radical was determined from mass spectrometry of deuterium-substituted radicals. The isomerization reaction which transforms methoxy radicals into hydroxymethyl radicals was not observed.
