Abstract

The Cl-atom-initiated photooxidation mechanism of CH3Br has been investigated in chamber experiments conducted under conditions applicable to the lower atmosphere. Major carbon-containing products obtained in the presence of O2 and NO, as determined by FTIR absorption spectroscopy, are CH2O and CO. In addition, HC (O) Br is observed in the absence of NO. At low temperature, in the presence of NO, CH2BrO2NO2 was also ...
