Abstract

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to identify and quantify products of the self-reaction of chloroethylperoxy radicals, CH₂ClCH₂O₂, formed in the photolysis of Cl₂/C₂H₂ mixtures in 700 Torr total pressure of synthetic air at 295 K. From these measurements, branching ratios for the reaction channels (1a) and (1b), CH₂ClCH₂O₂ + CH₂ClCH₂O₂ → 2CH₂ClCH₂O + O₂ and CH₂ClCH₂O₂ + CH₂ClCH₂O₂ → CH₂ClCHO + CH₂ClCH₂OH + O₂, respectively, of k_1a/(k_1a + k_1b) = 0.69 and k_1b/(k_1a + k_1b) = 0.31 were established together with an upper limit for the rate of the reaction CH₂ClCH₂O₂ + HO₂ → CH₂ClCH₂O₂H + O₂. Additionally, using the relative rate technique, the rate constant for the reaction of Cl atoms with CH₂ClCH₂OH has been determined to be (3.01 ± 0.22) × 10^-11 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1.
