Product studies of the atmospherically-important reactions of alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Final report
Technical Report

OSTI ID:572357
Alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons are important constituents of ambient air in polluted urban areas, and their atmospheric reactions in the presence of oxides of nitrogen lead to the formation of ozone and other manifestations of photochemical air pollution. During this Contract, the products and mechanisms of the gas-phase OH radical-initiated and O3 reactions of a series of alkenes and of the gas-phase OH radical- and NO3 radical-initiated reactions of four two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons have been investigated. The two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons were studied because it was anticipated that their reaction products would be more amenable to analysis using conventional gas chromatographic techniques than would the corresponding products formed from the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and the xylenes.
