The high-temperature photochemistry (HTP) and laser photolysis-shock tube (LP-ST) techniques have been combined to study the kinetics of the reaction between ground-state oxygen atoms with CH{sub 3}Cl over the temperature range, 556--1485 K. In the HTP reactor, used for the 556--1291 K range, O atoms were generated by flash photolysis of O{sub 2}, CO{sub 2} or SO{sub 2}, and the atom concentrations were monitored by resonance fluorescence, while with the LP-ST technique, used for the 916--1485 K range, O atoms were generated by the photolysis of either SO{sub 2} or NO with the 193 nm light from a pulsed ArF excimer laser, and atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy (ARAS) was used to monitor (O){sub t}. In both studies, rate coefficients were derived from the (O) profiles under the pseudo-first-order condition, (O){much lt}(CH{sub 3}Cl). The data obtained by the two techniques are in excellent agreement and are best represented by the expression, k(T) = 2.57 {times} 10{sup {minus}11} (T/K){sup 0.31} exp({minus}5633 K/T) cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1} with a 2{sigma} precision varying from {plus minus}6 {plus minus}22% and an estimated 2{sigma} accuracy of {plus minus}21% to {plus minus}30%, depending on temperature. The rate coefficients for the title reaction are essentially identical to those for the O + CH{sub 4} reaction over the observed temperature range, the reasons for which are discussed.
