The kinetics of the reactions of atomic chlorine with ethane and propane have been studied in a continuous supersonic flow reactor over the range 48 K < or = T < or = 167 K. Chlorine atoms were produced by microwave discharge upstream of the Laval nozzle and were probed in the vacuum ultraviolet wavelength range around 138 nm by resonance fluorescence. The reaction of Cl with ethane has been found to exhibit a positive temperature dependence, with a rate coefficient decreasing from (4.3 +/- 0.6) x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) at 167 K to (2.9 +/- 0.3) x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) at 48 K and deviates from true Arrhenius behavior below 120 K. In contrast, the rate coefficient for the reaction of Cl with propane has been found to have a constant value of (1.4 +/- 0.2) x 10(-10) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) over the same temperature range. The expressed uncertainties are the combined statistical (a single standard deviation from the mean) and systematic (estimated at 10%) uncertainties.

Absolute line strength measurements of hydroperoxyl (HO2) radical in the OO-stretching (ν3) fundamental band have been performed by means of mid-infrared time-resolved dual-comb spectroscopy. By employing two sets of dual-comb spectrometers, high-resolution time-resolved spectra of HO2 and HCl, formed in the photolysis reaction system of Cl2/CH3OH/O2, could be, respectively, measured near 1123 and 3059 cm-1. With kinetic simulations, spectral analysis of both HO2 and HCl, as well as the accurate line strength of the HCl R(9) transition at 3059.

The study investigated the degradation of 3-methoxy-1-propanol (3M1P) by OH using the M06-2X/6-311++G(d, p) level, with CCSD(T) single-point corrections. We focused on hydrogen atom abstraction from various alkyl groups within the molecule. The rate coefficient for 3M1P degradation was calculated from the sum of the rate coefficients corresponding to the removal of H-atoms from primary (-CH), secondary (-CH-), tertiary (-CH< ), and alcohol (-ΟH) groups.

The dependence of the rate constant of the recombination reaction of CCl and NO radicals on temperature and pressure was studied. Quantum-chemical calculations were employed to characterize relevant aspects of the potential energy surface for this process. The limiting rate constants between 300 and 2000 K were analyzed using the unimolecular reactions theory.

The transformation and risk assessment of flavonoids triggered by free radicals deserve extensive attention. In this work, the degradation mechanisms, kinetics, and ecotoxicity of kaempferol and quercetin mediated by ∙OH, ∙OCH, ∙OOH, and O in gaseous and aqueous environments were investigated using cell experiments and quantum chemical calculations. Three radical scavenging mechanisms, including hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), radical adduct formation (RAF) and single electron transfer (SET) were discussed.

A critical reaction affecting the oxidation chemistry in the middle-to-upper atmosphere occurs between hydroxyl (OH) and hydroperoxyl (HO). The reaction rate coefficient for OH + HO → HO + O, here called , has challenged laboratory kineticists for 50 years. However, several measurements from the past 30 years had approached a rough consensus until the publication of a new study that examined, for the first time, the water vapor dependence of this reaction.
