The master equation is solved numerically for the time dependence of the vibrational level populations of HCl (treated as a simple harmonic oscillator) during the bimolecular exchange reaction, Br + HCl → HBr + Cl, taking into account the competition between reaction and vibrational equilibration subject to Landau–Teller T–V excitation. Strong deviations from Boltzmann distributions are found. A wide range of reactant concentrations, diluent concentrations and temperatures were explored. It was found that no significant reaction occurs before the establishment of a steady vibrational population distribution, confirming that the rate coefficient for non-equilibrium bimolecular exchange reactions can be determined from a simple analytical steady state treatment (J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 87, 229 (1991)). The rate of an isolated elementary bimolecular reaction, A + BC → AB + C, under non-equilibrium conditions can deviate seriously from the standard expression, Keq [A][BC], and is better given by the law[Formula: see text]where [R] is the concentration of the collisional equilibrator, R, and a and g are constants depending only on temperature. This generalized rate law describes not only the initial rate but also the rate all the way up to completion, in the absence of the reverse reaction.

<p>Monoterpenes are a group of volatile organic compounds that are emitted to the atmosphere in large amounts by natural sources. Some monoterpenes such as limonene and Δ<sup>3</sup>-carene are also widely used as additives in detergents and perfumes, and thus have a potential impact on indoor air quality and human health.</p><p>The volatile organic compounds like monoterpenes may undergo a series of autoxidation processes in the atmosphere to form highly oxygenated compounds, which have been linked to the formation of secondary organic aerosols. For this process to occur, the unimolecular reactions of the peroxy radicals formed during oxidation must have rate coefficients comparable to or greater than those of the competing bimolecular reactions with HO<sub>2</sub>, NO or other RO<sub>2</sub> radicals.</p><p>We studied the hydrogen shift (H-shift) and the cyclization reactions of all 45 hydroxy peroxy radicals formed by hydroxyl radical (OH) and O<sub>2</sub> addition to six monoterpenes (α-pinene, β-pinene, Δ<sup>3</sup>-carene, camphene, limonene and terpinolene). The reaction rate coefficients of the possible unimolecular reaction were initially studied at a lower level of theory. Those deemed likely to be atmospherically competitive were then calculated using the multi-conformer transition states theory approach developed by Møller et al. (J. Phys. Chem. A, 120, 51, 10072-10087, 2016). This approach has been shown to agree with the experimental values to within a factor of 4 for other systems.</p><p>It was found that double bonds are key to fast unimolecular reactions in the first-generation monoterpene hydroxy peroxy radicals. The H-shift reactions abstracting a hydrogen from a carbon adjacent to a double bond are found to typically be fast enough to compete with the bimolecular reactions, likely due to the resonance stability of the nascent allylic radical. The reactivity of the cyclization reaction between the carbon-carbon double bonds and the peroxy group, which forms an endoperoxide ring, is high as well. The H-shifts abstracting the hydrogen from the hydroxy group may be competitive in some cases but the reaction rate coefficients for these reactions are more uncertain. Generally, the cyclization reaction and the allylic H-shift reactions are the dominant reaction paths for the studied peroxyl radicals. Since the OH radical addition consumes one double bond, we suggest that the monoterpenes with more than one double bond in their structure are likely to have unimolecular reactions that can be important for the first-generation monoterpene peroxy radicals. On the other hand, the ones with only one double bond initially are not likely to have fast unimolecular reactions that can compete with the bimolecular reactions under the atmospheric condition, unless a double bond can be formed during their oxidation process as found for α-pinene and β-pinene. This result greatly limits the amount of potentially important unimolecular reaction paths in atmospheric monoterpene oxidation.</p>

Abstract. The radical terminating, termolecular reaction between OH and NO2 exerts great influence on the NOy∕NOx ratio and O3 formation in the atmosphere. Evaluation panels (IUPAC and NASA) recommend rate coefficients for this reaction that disagree by as much as a factor of 1.6 at low temperature and pressure. In this work, the title reaction was studied by pulsed laser photolysis and laser-induced fluorescence over the pressure range 16–1200 mbar and temperature range 217–333 K in N2 bath gas, with experiments at 295 K (67–333 mbar) for O2. In situ measurement of NO2 using two optical absorption set-ups enabled generation of highly precise, accurate rate coefficients in the fall-off pressure range, appropriate for atmospheric conditions. We found, in agreement with previous work, that O2 bath gas has a lower collision efficiency than N2 with a relative collision efficiency to N2 of 0.74. Using the Troe-type formulation for termolecular reactions we present a new set of parameters with k0(N2) = 2.6×10-30 cm6 molecule−2 s−1, k0(O2) = 2.0×10-30 cm6 molecule−2 s−1, m=3.6, k∞=6.3×10-11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, and Fc=0.39 and compare our results to previous studies in N2 and O2 bath gases.

Abstract. OH reactivity (OHR) is an important control on the oxidative capacity in the atmosphere but remains poorly constrained. For an improved understanding of OHR, its evolution during oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a major aspect requiring better quantification. We use the fully explicit Generator of Explicit Chemistry and Kinetics of Organics in the Atmosphere (GECKO-A) model to study the OHR evolution in the low-NO photooxidation of several VOCs, including decane (an alkane), m-xylene (an aromatic), and isoprene (an alkene). Oxidation progressively produces more saturated and functionalized species. Total organic OHR (including precursor and products, OHRVOC) first increases for decane (as functionalization increases OH rate coefficients), and m-xylene (as much more reactive oxygenated alkenes are formed). For isoprene, C=C bond consumption leads to a rapid drop in OHRVOC before significant production of the first main saturated multifunctional product, i.e., isoprene epoxydiol. The saturated multifunctional species in the oxidation of different precursors have similar average OHRVOC per C atom. The latter oxidation follows a similar course for different precursors, involving fragmentation of multifunctional species to eventual oxidation of C1 and C2 fragments to CO2, leading to a similar evolution of OHRVOC per C atom. An upper limit of the total OH consumption during complete oxidation to CO2 is roughly 3 per C atom. We also explore the trends in radical recycling ratios. We show that differences in the evolution of OHRVOC between the atmosphere and an environmental chamber, and between the atmosphere and an oxidation flow reactor (OFR) can be substantial, with the former being even larger, but these differences are often smaller than between precursors. The Teflon wall losses of oxygenated VOCs in chambers result in substantial deviations of OHRVOC from atmospheric conditions, especially for the oxidation of larger precursors, where multifunctional species may suffer near-complete wall losses, resulting in significant underestimation of OHRVOC. For OFR, the deviations of OHRVOC evolution from the atmospheric case are mainly due to significant OHR contribution from RO2 and lack of efficient organic photolysis. The former can be avoided by lowering the UV lamp setting in OFR, while the latter is shown to be very difficult to avoid. However, the former may significantly offset the slowdown in fragmentation of multifunctional species due to lack of efficient organic photolysis.

Abstract. OH reactivity (OHR) is an important control on the oxidative capacity in the atmosphere but remains poorly constrained in many environments, such as remote, rural, and urban atmospheres, as well as laboratory experiment setups under low-NO conditions. For an improved understanding of OHR, its evolution during oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a major aspect requiring better quantification. We use the fully explicit Generator of Explicit Chemistry and Kinetics of Organics in the Atmosphere (GECKO-A) model to study the OHR evolution in the NO-free photooxidation of several VOCs, including decane (an alkane), m-xylene (an aromatic), and isoprene (an alkene). Oxidation progressively produces more saturated and functionalized species. Total organic OHR (including precursor and products, OHRVOC) first increases for decane (as functionalization increases OH rate coefficients) and m-xylene (as much more reactive oxygenated alkenes are formed). For isoprene, C=C bond consumption leads to a rapid drop in OHRVOC before significant production of the first main saturated multifunctional product, i.e., isoprene epoxydiol. The saturated multifunctional species in the oxidation of different precursors have similar average OHRVOC per C atom. The latter oxidation follows a similar course for different precursors, involving fragmentation of multifunctional species to eventual oxidation of C1 and C2 fragments to CO2, leading to a similar evolution of OHRVOC per C atom. An upper limit of the total OH consumption during complete oxidation to CO2 is roughly three per C atom. We also explore the trends in radical recycling ratios. We show that differences in the evolution of OHRVOC between the atmosphere and an environmental chamber, and between the atmosphere and an oxidation flow reactor (OFR), can be substantial, with the former being even larger, but these differences are often smaller than between precursors.

The rate coefficients for the reaction with diazodiphenylmethane, in ethanol at 30.0°, of a number of substituted indole-2-carboxylic acids, indole-3-carboxylic acids, coumarin-3-carboxylic acids, coumarilic acids, and N-phenylglycines have been determined. The effect of substitution is assessed by use of adapted Hammett and Dewar–Grisdale relations. The relations give good correlations for oxygen-ring heterocyclic systems, and the relative ability of the systems to transmit π-electron effects has been determined. An anomalous perturbing effect appears to operate in the indole-carboxylic acid systems.
