β¦ Synopsis
A flow system has been developed to study relative rate coefficients of hydroxyl radicals reacting with alkanes under conditions relating to tropospheric chemistry. Relative Arrhenius parameters have been measured over the temperature range 243-328 K for pairs of alkanes from a list consisting of n-butane, 2-methylpropane, n-pentane, n-hexane, 2,2-and 2,3-dimethylbutane, 2,3,3-trimethylbutane, and 2,3,4-trimethylpentane.
The results have been incorporated into a Structure-Activity Relation for hydroxylalkane reactions which leads to the following group rate coefficients for a temperature range of 240-500 K. k:,,, = 3.13 x lo-" exp(-904/T) cm3 molecule-'s-' ke, = 2.45 X lo-'' exp(-320/T) cm3 molecule-' s-' k:~ = 1.88 X lo-'' cm3 molecule-' s-l *To whom correspondence should be addressed.

The rate constant for the gas-phase reaction of the hydroxyl radical with trifluoroacetic acid has been determined over the temperature range 283-323 K using a relative rate technique.

Some relative rate experiments have been carried out at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. This concerns the OH-oxidation of some oxygenated volatile organic compounds including methanol (k 1 ), ethanol (k 2 ), MTBE (k 3 ), ethyl acetate (k 4 ), n-propyl acetate (k 5 ), isopropyl acetate
Rate constants for the gas phase reactions of hydroxyl radicals and chlorine atoms with a number of ethers have been determined at 300 2 3 K and at a total pressure of 1 atmosphere. Both OH radical and chlorine atom rate constants were determined using a relative rate technique. Values for the rate
The relative OH reaction rates from the simulated atmospheric oxidation of 4-methyl-2pentanone, trans-4-octene, and trans-2-heptene have been measured. Reactions were carried out at 297 t 2 K in 100-liter FEP Teflon"-film bags. The OH radicals were produced from the photolysis of methyl nitrite. The
