Abstract

Utilizing the technique of pulsed laser photolysis/pulsed laser induced fluorescence, we have investigated the atmospherically important reactions of the (trifluoromethy1) peroxy radical, CF3O, with several alkanes. The reaction rate coefficients for CF3O+ CH4 (ks), C2H6 (k4), C3Hg (k5),(CH&CH (ka), and CD4 (k7) were measured, as functions of temperature, to be k3=(1.92 f 0.33) X exp [-(1370 f 85)/T] cm3 molecule-'s-1, k4=(4.84 f ...
