The rate coefficients for the reactions of hydrogen atoms with n-C3H7Br, s-C3H7Br, n-C4H9Br, and s-C4H9Br were determined in a discharge flow-reactor at 298 K and a pressure of 4 mbar. Molecular-beam sampling and subsequent mass-spectrometric detection with electron-impact ionisation was used for the measurement of the bromo-hydrocarbon concentration. The rate coefficients obtained are (in 1010 cm3 mol-1 s-1): 2.3±1.2 for n-C3H7Br, 2.3±1.2 for s-C3H7Br, 2.4±1.2 for n-C4H9Br, and 2.8±1.4 for s-C4H9Br. The results are compared with predictions from bond-energy bond-order (BEBO) calculations, where a reasonable agreement is found. Furthermore, also by BEBO calculations, the relative importance of bromine abstraction as compared to hydrogen abstraction is estimated. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
