Rates of reaction of butyl radicals with molecular oxygen

Abstract: Rate constants for the reaction of four different butyl radicals with molecular oxygen have been measured at room temperature. The radicals were generated by flash photolysis and their time decay was followed with a photoionization mass spectrometer. The radical concentrations were kept low to avoid complications from radical–radical reactions. Radical lifetimes were long, up to 50 msec, thus assuring that thermalized radicals were being studied. The rate constants, in units of 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 sec−1, are:… Show more

“…4 and 5 are quantitatively converted to the corresponding peroxy isomer. [22][23][24] To a first approximation, it is also reasonable to assume that the oscillator strength of the A − X transition is isomer independent. In this case the intensity of the respective CRDS peroxy radical spectra is a good measure of…”

“…4 Bayes and co-workers have previously measured the rate constants for the reaction of butyl radicals generated by laser flash photolysis with O 2 in the gas phase at room temperature by photoionisation mass spectrometry. 36 Their results for n-butyl (0.75±0.14), sec-butyl resulting in a reaction efficiency of 6.0%. This value is less than half that for the reaction of 3,…”
