Abstract
![]()
The fluorescence assay by gas expansion (FAGE) method
for the measurement
of the methyl peroxy radical (CH3O2) using the
conversion of CH3O2 into methoxy radicals (CH3O) by excess NO, followed by the detection of CH3O, has been used to study the kinetics of the self-reaction of CH3O2. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy
has been employed to determine the products methanol and formaldehyde
of the self-reaction. The kinetics and product studies were performed
in the Highly Instrumented Reactor for Atmospheric Chemistry (HIRAC)
in the temperature range 268–344 K at 1000 mbar of air. The
product measurements were used to determine the branching ratio of
the reaction channel forming methoxy radicals, rCH3O. A value of 0.34 ± 0.05 (errors at 2σ level)
was determined for rCH3O at 295 K. The
temperature dependence of rCH3O can be
parametrized as rCH3O = 1/{1 + [exp(600
± 85)/T]/(3.9 ± 1.1)}. An overall rate
coefficient of the self-reaction of (2.0 ± 0.9) × 10–13 cm3 molecule–1 s–1 at 295 K was obtained by the kinetic analysis of
the observed second-order decays of CH3O2. The
temperature dependence of the overall rate coefficient can be characterized
by koverall = (9.1 ± 5.3) ×
10–14 × exp((252 ± 174)/T) cm3 molecule–1 s–1. The found values of koverall in the
range 268–344 K are ∼40% lower than the values calculated
using the recommendations of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and IUPAC,
which are based on the previous studies, all of them utilizing time-resolved
UV–absorption spectroscopy to monitor CH3O2. A modeling study using a complex chemical mechanism to describe
the reaction system showed that unaccounted secondary chemistry involving
Cl species increased the values of koverall in the previous studies using flash photolysis to initiate the chemistry.
The overestimation of the koverall values
by the kinetic studies using molecular modulation to generate CH3O2 can be rationalized by a combination of underestimated
optical absorbance of CH3O2 and unaccounted
CH3O2 losses to the walls of the reaction cells
employed.

Abstract
The self-reactions and cross reactions of the peroxy radicals C2H5O2 and HO2 were monitored using simultaneous independent spectroscopic probes to observe each radical species. Wavelength modulation (WM) near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was used to detect HO2, and UV absorption monitored C2H5O2. The temperature dependences of these reactions were investigated over a range of interest to tropospheric chemistry, 221-296 K. The Arrhenius expression determined for the cross reaction, k2(T) = (6.01(-1.47)(+1.95)) x 10(-13) exp((638 +/- 73)/T) cm3 molecules(-1) s(-1) is in agreement with other work from the literature. The measurements of the HO2 self-reaction agreed with previous work from this lab and were not further refined. The C2H5O2 self-reaction is complicated by secondary production of HO2. This experiment performed the first direct measurement of the self-reaction rate constant, as well as the branching fraction to the radical channel, in part by measurement of the secondary HO2. The Arrhenius expression for the self-reaction rate constant is k3(T) = (1.29(-0.27)(+0.34)) x 10(-13)exp((-23 +/- 61)/T) cm3 molecules(-1) s(-1), and the branching fraction value is alpha = 0.28 +/- 0.06, independent of temperature. These values are in disagreement with previous measurements based on end product studies of the branching fraction. The results suggest that better characterization of the products from RO2 self-reactions are required.
