Abstract

The chemistry of the acetonoxy radical, CH3C (O) CH2O, formed in the atmospheric degradation of acetone, was studied by a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. In an environmental chamber study conducted over the temperature range 225- 298 K, acetonoxy radical chemistry was shown to be dominated by decomposition, CH3C (O) CH2O→ CH3C (O)+ CH2O. No evidence was found for a reaction of this species with ...
