Notes:
Some relative rate experiments have been carried out at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. This concerns the OH-oxidation of some oxygenated volatile organic compounds including methanol (k1), ethanol (k2), MTBE (k3), ethyl acetate (k4), n-propyl acetate (k5), isopropyl acetate (k6), n-butyl acetate (k7), isobutyl acetate (k8), and t-butyl acetate (k9). The experiments were performed in a Teflon-film bag smog chamber. The rate constants obtained are (in cm3 molecule-1 s-1): k1=(0.90±0.08)×10-12; k2=(3.88±0.11)×10-12; k3=(2.98±0.06)×10-12; k4=(1.73±0.20)×10-12; k5=(3.56±0.15)×10-12; k6=(3.97±0.18)×10-12; k7=(5.78±0.15)×10-12; k8=(6.77±0.30)×10-12; and k9=(0.56±0.11)×10-12. The agreement between the obtained rate constants and some previously published data has allowed for most of the studied compounds to point out a coherent group of values and to suggest recommended values. Atmospheric implications are also discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 839-847, 1998
