Abstract

Of considerable interest to the atmospheric oxidation of hydrocarbons and the accompanying photochemical smog formation is the fate of organic alkoxy radicals. These species are formed in the atmosphere in the following manner. Hydrocarbons from biogenic or anthropogenic sources, which are emitted into the atmosphere, are attacked by OH radicals (also NO3, and in the laboratory C1 or F). These abstract a hydrogen atom ...
