Absolute and relative rate constants for the reactions of hydroxyl radicals and chlorine atoms with a series of aliphatic alcohols and ethers at 298 K
Rate constants for the gas‐phase reactions of hydroxyl radicals and chlorine atoms with aliphatic alcohols and ethers have been determined at 298 ± 2 K and at a total pressure of 1 atmosphere. The OH radical rate data were obtained using both the absolute technique of pulse radiolysis combined with kinetic UV spectroscopy and a conventional photolytic relative rate method.
The Cl atom rate constants were measured using only the relative rate method. Values of the rate constants in units of 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 are: (Formula Presented.) The above relative rate constants are based on the values of (OH + c‐C6H12) = 7.49 × 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 and (Cl + c‐C6H12) = 311 × 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1.
Attempts to corre late the trends in the rate constant data in terms of the bond dissociation energies and inductive effects are discussed.
