Experimental and theoretical investigation on the OH + CHC(O)CH reaction at interstellar temperatures (T=11.7-64.4 K).

The rate coefficient, (), for the gas-phase reaction between OH radicals and acetone CHC(O)CH, has been measured using the pulsed CRESU (French acronym for Reaction Kinetics in a Uniform Supersonic Flow) technique ( = 11.7-64.4 K).
