Kinetic study of radical-aromatic hydrocarbon reactions. Annual progress report No. 2, May 1, 1979-April 30, 1980
A slow flow high temperature flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence apparatus which utilizes an all quartz reactor has been constructed. This apparatus has been used to measure absolute rate constants as a function of temperature and pressure for the reactions of OH radicals with the following prototype aromatic hydrocarbons; C/sub 6/H/sub 6/, C/sub 6/D/sub 6/, C/sub 6/H/sub 5/CH/sub 3/, and C/sub 6/D/sub 5/CD/sub 3/, in the temperature range of 213 to 1046/sup 0/K. Details of the kinetic investigations are described in this report. At present, the non-exponential OH decays that were obtained in the temperature range of 325 to 425/sup 0/K are being analyzed to extract both thermodynamic and kinetic information on the OH-Aromatic adduct. Concurrently attempts are being made to assign branching ratios for various reactive channels as a function of temperature using the measured kinetic isotope effects.
