Abstract

The reactions of 1-butoxy and 1-pentoxy radicals were studied using time-resolved and simultaneous measurement of NO2 and OH concentrations in laser pulse initiated oxidation studies followed by numerical simulations of the concentration profiles. The alkoxy radicals were produced selectively by the excimer-laser photolysis of 1-butyl bromide and 1-pentyl bromide at 248 nm and subsequent reaction of the 1-alkyl radicals with O2 and NO. ...
