A semi-empirical correlation for the rate coefficients for cross- and self-reactions of peroxy radicals in the gas-phase

Structural and heat of formation studies of halogenated methyl hydro-peroxides

“…The alkylperoxy radicals formed, present a rich chemistry and give self-reactions or react with other active species producing a variety of oxidized products [2,[4][5][6][7][8]. In low concentrations of NO x , the most important reactions involve the abundant hydroperoxy radicals [2,9] leading to the production of ROOH…”

Enthalpies of Formation and Bond Dissociation Energies of Lower Alkyl Hydroperoxides and Related Hydroperoxy and Alkoxy Radicals

“…We have also included isobutyl and sec-butyl species to have a comprehensive overview of the thermochemistry of this set of compounds. Some of these hydroperoxides and their radicals play key roles in the chemistry of the atmosphere, [6][7][8] alkyl peroxy radicals are found in biological systems 9 and are a cause of concern in indoor environments. 10 Alkylperoxy radicals play a key role in the oxidation of fuels at cool-flame temperatures and the competition between their isomerization to hydroperoxyalkyl radicals or dissociation is central to an understanding of combustion in novel internal combustion engines under active development.…”

Kinetics of the photolysis and OH reaction of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone: Atmospheric implications

“…Referring to the similar CH 3 O 2 þ CH 2 (OH)CH 2 O 2 reaction for which a rate constant of 2.9 Â 10 À13 cm 3 molecule À1 s À1 is found in Shallcross et al (2005), it has been assumed that (R6-R8) are probably of negligible importance for the fate of (CH 3 ) 2 C(OH)CH 2 O 2 and CH 3 O 2 in our experiments. Therefore, methanol is not expected to be formed in measurable amounts through the channel (R1a).…”
