Direct measurements of methoxy removal rate constants for collisions with CH/sub 4/, Ar, N/sub 2/, Xe, and CF/sub 4/ in the temperature range 673--973K
Removal rate constants for CH/sub 3/O by CH/sub 4/, Ar, N/sub 2/, Xe, and CF/sub 4/ were measured over a 400K temperature range using a laser photolysis/laser-induced fluorescence technique. Rapid methoxy removal rates are observed for the non-reactive collision partners (Ar, N/sub 2/, Xe, and CF/sub 4/) at elevated temperatures showing that the dissociation and isomerization channels for CH/sub 3/O are indeed important. The total removal rate constant (reaction /plus/ dissociation and/or isomerization) for CH/sub 4/ exhibits a linear dependence on temperature and has a removal rate constant, k/sub r/ /equals/ (1.2 +- 0.6) /times/ 10/sup /minus/8/exp((/minus/101070 +- 350)/T)cm/sup 3/molecule/sup /minus/1/s/sup /minus/1/. Assuming that the removal rate constant due to dissociation and/or isomerization are similar for CH/sub 4/ and CF/sub 4/, the reaction rate constant for CH/sub 3/O /plus/ CH/sub 4/ is equal to (1.7 +- 1.0) /times/ 10/sup /minus/10/exp((/minus/7480 +- 1100)/T)cm/sup 3/molecule/sup /minus/1/s/sup /minus/1/. 7 refs., 4 figs.
