β¦ Synopsis
Rate constants for the reaction of OH radicals with some branched alkyl nitrates have been measured applying a competitive technique. Methyl nitrite photolysis in synthetic air was used as OH radical source at 295 +_ 2 K and 1000 mbar total pressure. Using a rate constant of 2.53 Γ 10 -12 cm 3 s -I for the reaction of OH radicals with n-butane as reference, the following rate constants were obtained (units: 10 -12 cm 3 s -1): isopropyl nitrate, 0.59___0.22; isobutyl nitrate, 1.63 Β±0.20: 3-methyl-2-butyl nitrate, 1.95_+0.15; 2-methyl-l-butyl nitrate, 2.50_+0.15; 3-methyl-l-butyl nitrate, 2.55 _+0.35. These values have been combined with the literature data to recalculate the substituent factors F(X) for the different nitrate groups which can he used to predict OH rate constants for organic nitrates for which experimental data are not available.
Preliminary measurements of the photolysis frequency of isopropyl nitrate have shown that for this nitrate as a model substance, OH reactions and direct photolysis are of equal importance under tropospheric conditions.
