Abstract

The reactions of hydrocarbon free radicals with molecular oxygen are widespread in the combustion of fossil fuels and air pollution chemistry. While it is generally accepted that these reactions are fast, very few absolute rate constants have been measured by direct means. Until recently, only rate constants for the reaction of methyl radicals with O2 were reported in the literature and these showed only fair agreement for different studies.'-5 A ...
