“…For modeling the kinetics of the oxidation process and chemiluminescence emission, COPASI software package (27), a facile successor to the previously developed GEPASI sofware (28)(29)(30), was applied. The input data of rate constants k 2 -k 16 (k 2 = 5x10 8 M À1 s À1 , k 3 = 1 M À1 s À1 , k 4 = 20 M À1 s À1 , k 5 = 5 9 10 8 M À1 s À1 , k 6 = 7 M À1 s À1 , k 7 = 10 8 M À1 s À1 , k 8 = 10 8 M À1 s À1 , k 9 = 10 8 M À1 s À1 , k 10 = 10 8 M À1 s À1 , k 11 = 10 6 M À1 s À1 , k 12 = 10 8 M À1 s À1 , k 13 = 2.8 9 10 6 M À1 s À1 , k 14 = 1.5 9 10 8 M À1 s À1 , k 15 = 10 8 M À1 s À1 , k 16 = 2.8 9 10 8 M À1 s À1 ) of elementary stages 2-16 of the oxidation mechanism (Scheme 3) constituted the mean values of the corresponding rate constants available in the literature for akin hydrocarbons (23,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). The initiation rate (i.e.…”
