Atmospheric oxidation intermediates: Laser spectroscopy of resonance-stabilized radicals from p-cymene

An experimental flow reactor study of the combustion kinetics of terpenoid jet fuel compounds: Farnesane, p-menthane and p-cymene

“…These properties make cycloalkanes [19] like p-menthane attractive for the replacement of carcinogenic aromatics in aviation fuels. p-Cymene is of significant interest as a bio-renewable feedstock because it is already used in a wide variety of industrial processes [20]. Currently, commercial production of cymenes is from toluene and propylene, which are obtained from crude oil.…”

VISIBLE ABSORPTIONS OF POTENTIAL DIFFUSE ISM HYDROCARBONS: C9H9 AND C9H5 RADICALS

“…This effect can be even more pronounced in larger entities. Recent laser spectroscopic investigations report many such radicals in supersonic jets (Tsuge et al 2006;Reilly et al 2008Reilly et al , 2009aReilly et al , 2009bTroy et al 2009Troy et al , 2011Troy et al , 2014Sebree et al 2010aSebree et al , 2010bSebree et al , 2011Chalyavi et al 2011Chalyavi et al , 2012Kidwell et al 2013Kidwell et al , 2014O'Connor et al 2013O'Connor et al , 2015Maity et al 2015aMaity et al , 2015b. Several of them could be recognized among the discharge products of the (partly decomposed) 1, 6-heptadiyne precursor, e.g., cis-and trans-1-vinylpropargyl C 5 H 5 (Reilly et al 2009b), 1, 4-pentadienyl C 5 H 7 , benzocyclopropenyl C 7 H 5 (Maity et al 2015b), benzyl C 7 H 7 (Foster & Miller 1989), 1-phenylpropargyl C 9 H 7 (Reilly et al 2009a), and 1-indanyl C 9 H 9 Maity et al 2015a).…”
