Using pulse radiolysis combined with UV absorption spectroscopy, upper limits for the rate constants of the reaction of the FO[sub 2] radical with O[sub 3], CH[sub 4], and CO were determined to be <3.4 x 10[sup [minus]16], <4.1 x 10[sup [minus]15], and <5.1 x 10[sup [minus]16] cm[sup 3] molecule[sup [minus]1] s[sup [minus]1], respectively. The rate constants for the reactions of FO[sub 2] radicals with NO and NO[sub 2] were measured: FO[sub 2] + NO [yields] FNO + O[sub 2] (10a); FO[sub 2] + NO[sub 2] [yields] products (11). The rate constants for reactions 10 and 11 were determined to be (1.47 [+-] 0.08) x 10[sup [minus]12] and (1.05 [+-] 0.15) x 10[sup [minus]13] cm[sup 3] molecule[sup [minus]1] s[sup [minus]1], respectively. Reaction 10a was found to give FNO in a yield of 100 [+-] 14%. As a part of this work, an upper limit of the reaction of FO radicals with O[sub 3] was determined to be <1.2 x 10[sup [minus]12] cm[sup 3] molecule[sup [minus]1] s[sup [minus]1]. Results are discussed in the context of the atmospheric chemistry of the FO[sub 2] radical and hydrofluorocarbons. 23 refs., 12 figs., 2 tabs.
