Ethers are being increasingly used as motor fuel additives to increase the octane number and to reduce CO emissions. Since their reaction with hydroxyl radicals (OH) is a major loss process for these oxygenated species in the atmosphere, we have conducted a relative rate study of the kinetics of the

✦ Synopsis
The rate constants for the reactions of OH with dimethyl ether (kl), diethyl ether ( k z ) , di-n-propyl ether ( k 3 ) , di-isopropyl ether ( k 4 ) , and di-n-butyl ether ( k 5 ) have been measured over the temperature range 230-372 K using the pulsed laser photolysis-laser induced fluorescence (PLP-LIF) technique. The temperature dependence of k l , k 4 , can be expressed in the Arrhenius plots form: k l = (6.30 ? 0.10) X exp[-(234 2 34)/T] and k4 = (4.13 _f 0.10) X 10-l' exp[(274 ? 26)/T]. The Arrhenius plots for k z , k 3 , and k.5, were curved and they were fitted to the three parameter expressions: kz = (1.02 2 0.08) x 10-17T2 exp[(797 2 24)/T], k3 = (1.84 ? 0.23) X 10-17T2 exp[(767 ? 34)/T], and k5 = (6.29 2 0.74) X lO-lsT2 exp[(1164 2 34)/T]. The values at 298 K are (2.82 t0.21) X (2.17 2 0.16) x and (2.69 ? 0.22) X 10-l' for k l , k 2 , k 3 , k 4 , and k 5 , respectively, (in cm3 molecule-' s-'). These results are compared to the literature data. 0 1995 John Wiley & Sons, lnc.

## Abstract The kinetics of the reactions of hydroxyl (OH) radicals with 2,3,5‐trimethylphenol (235TMP), 2,3,6‐trimethylphenol (236TMP), 2,4,5‐trimethylphenol (245TMP), 2,4,6‐trimethylphenol (246TMP), and 3,4,5‐trimethylphenol (345TMP) have been investigated at 298 ± 2 K and atmospheric pressure of
The kinetics of the reaction of OH radicals with t-amyl methyl ether (TAME) have been reinvestigated using both absolute (flash photolysis resonance fluorescence) and relative rate techniques. Relative rate experiments were conducted at 295 K in 99 kPa (740 torr) of synthetic air using ethyl t-butyl
The rate constants for the reactions of the OH radicals with a series of aldehydes have been measured in the temperature range 243-372 K, using the pulsed laser photolysispulsed laser induced fluorescence method.
