Abstract

The kinetics of the reactions of CH3O and C2H5O radicals with NO2 have been studied using pulsed laser photolysis to create the radicals from the corresponding alkyl nitrite and by time-resolved, laser-induced fluorescence to observe the decay of the radical concentration. At 295 K, rate constants for CH3O+ NO2 have been measured in the presence of Ar (6–100 Torr), He (30–100 Torr) and CF4 (30–125 Torr). The association ...
