Abstract

Abstract The reactions of O(3P) atoms with furan, 2-methylfuran (2-MF), and 2,5-dimethylfuran (2,5-DMF) were studied at elevated temperatures by using a shock tube technique coupled with atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy (ARAS). The rate coefficients (k) determined from the time profiles of O(3P) atoms were expressed by the relation of kO+2,5-DMF > kO+2-MF > kO+FURAN. The molecular orbital calculations with CBS-QB3 level were also performed and the possible product channels of these reactions were discussed.
