Reactions of HCCCO and NCCO radicals with O 2 have been studied by a combination of pulsed laser photolysis and photoionization mass spectrometry. HCCCO was produced by 193-nm photolysis of methylpropiolate or 3-butyn-2-one, and NCCO was formed by 193-nm photolysis of acetylcyanide. The rate constan

โฆ Synopsis
Rate constants have been measured for the reactions of four hydrocarbon radicals with O2 in the gas phase at room temperature. Laser flash photolysis was used to generate low concentrations of radicals. A photoionization mass spectrometer followed the radical loss as a function of time. The measured pseudo first-order decay rate of the radical and the absolute oxygen concentration were combined to give the absolute rate constants (in units of lo-'' cm3 molec-' s -I ) : isobutyl (2.9 -C 0.7); neopentyl (1.6 * 0.3); cyclopentyl (17 2 3); and cyclohexyl(14 2 2). The cycloalkyl radicals have rate constants similar to those of other secondary radicals. However, the isobutyl and neopentyl radicals react more slowly than similar primary radicals. These new rate constants are compared in Figure 2 with the recently published correlation of reactive cross section with radical ionization potential.
