Rate constants have been measured for the reactions of hydroxyl radicals with the three dichloroethenes over the temperature range 240-400 K by using the flash photolysis -resonance fluorescence technique. The Arrhenius equations derived from the data obtained predominantly at 35-Torr total pressure (in Ar) are (in units of cm{sub 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1})k(trans-1,2-dichloroethene) = (9.37 {plus minus} 1.47) {times} 10{sup {minus}13} exp((283 {plus minus} 85)/T), k(cis-1,2-dichloroethene) = (2.21 {plus minus} 0.34) {times} 10{sup {minus}12} exp((65 {plus minus} 89)/T), and k(1,1-dichloroethene) = (2.30 {plus minus} 0.44) {times} 10{sup {minus}12} exp((472 {plus minus} 105)/T). There was no apparent effect of pressure on the rate constant for the reaction of OH with trans-1,2-dichloroethene over the range 5-50 Torr (with Ar).
