The atmospheric chemical impact of hydroperoxy and organic peroxy radical reactions
Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the atmospheric chemistry of reactions between hydroperoxy and organic peroxy radicals. The techniques of time resolved UV spectroscopy and transient IR absorption is utilized to follow the kinetics and evaluate the temperature dependence of the reactions of cyclopentyl- and acetylperoxy radicals with the hydroperoxy radical over a temperature range 214–359 K. Additionally, FTIR smog chamber studies provide mechanistic information regarding the reaction between acetylperoxy and hydroperoxy.
