The hydrogen abstraction reactions of the hydroxyl radical with alkanes play an important role in combustion chemistry and atmospheric chemistry. However, site-specific reaction constants are difficult to obtain experimentally and theoretically. Recently, machine learning has proved its ability to predict chemical properties. In this work, a machine learning approach is developed to predict the temperature-dependent site-specific rate constants of the title reactions. Multilayered neural network (NN) models are developed by training the site-specific rate constants of 11 reactions, and several schemes are designed to improve the prediction accuracy. The results show that the proposed NN models are robust in predicting the site-specific and overall rate constants.
