Rate constants for the gas-phase reactions of OH radicals and Cl atoms with CH 3CH 2NO 2, CH 3CH 2CH 2NO 2, CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 2NO 2, and CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 2CH 2NO 2

Abstract

Rate constants for the reactions of OH radicals and Cl atoms with CH 3CH 2NO 2, CH 3CH 2CH 2NO 2, CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 2NO 2, and CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 2CH 2NO 2 have been determined at 295±3 K and a total pressure of approximately 1 atm. The OH rate data were obtained using both the absolute rate technique of pulse radiolysis combined with kinetic spectroscopy and a conventional photolytic relative rate method. The Cl rate constants were measured using only the relative rate method. The results are discussed in terms of reactivity trends.
