✦ Synopsis

The rate constant for abstraction of hydrogen from isobutane by methyl radicals has been re-examined making use of new measurements at temperatures above 660 K. Most of the data over the temperature range 300-855 K can be accommodated by the following values for the rate constants for abstraction from primary and tertiary hydrogen atoms:

This activation energy for abstraction of the tertiary hydrogen atom in isobutane is essentially the same a s expressed in a previous evaluation, which considered data only below 500 K, but the magnitude of the rate constant is about 0.25 log units greater.

Recently, the rate constant for hydrogen abstraction from ethylene by methyl radicals

## Abstract We propose a semiempirical procedure for the estimation of the rate constants for hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of OH radicals with haloalkanes and haloethers. Our procedure is derived from the collision theory based kinetic equation, which was originally proposed by Heicklen (__I
