Rate coefficients for consumption of ground-state O atoms by reaction with 1-butene have been measured by using the high-temperature photochemistry (HTP) technique. The oxygen atoms were generated by flash photolysis of either O{sub 2} or CO{sub 2} and their relative concentrations were monitored by resonance fluorescence. The data in the 335-1,110 K range are well fitted by the expression k(T) = 2.7 {times} 10{sup {minus}11} exp({minus}624 K/T) + 2.4 {times} 10{sup {minus}9} exp({minus}5,657 K/T) cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1} with 2{sigma} precision limits of {plus minus}13 to {plus minus}27%, depending upon temperature, and corresponding 2{sigma} accuracy limits of {plus minus}24 and {plus minus}34%. Good agreement exists among the rate coefficients measured here and those measured by other isolated elementary reaction technique; the authors derive a combined fit expression for the 190-1,110 K range of k(T) = 9.0 {times} 10{sup {minus}12} exp ({minus}230 K/T) + 22 {times} 10{sup {minus}10} exp({minus}2,612 K/T) cm{sup 3} molecule{sup {minus}1}s{sup {minus}1}, with a suggested 2{sigma} accuracy of {plus minus}30%. A transition-state theory calculation for the addition reaction, which had been shown to fit the data well till 490 K, is extended to 1,110 K and seen to reproduce the experimental data increasingly poorly. However, a good fit is obtained when the rate coefficients for H-atom abstraction from the alkyl group in 1-butene are added to those for addition. The conclusion that the interaction between O({sup 3}P) atoms and 1-butene involves both addition and abstraction is reflected in the desirability for the double-exponential fit expressions given. Standard three-parameter fits, given in the text for the convenience of data compilers, approximate the observations well.
