讲座简介：Peroxy radicals, RO2, are key species in the atmosphere. They are formed from a reaction of OH radicals with hydrocarbons:
RH + OH + O2→ RO2+ H2O
In polluted environments, RO2radicals react predominantly with NO, leading to formation of NO2, and eventually through photolysis of NO2to formation of O3.
At low NOx concentrations such as in the marine boundary layer or the background troposphere, the lifetime of RO2radicals increases and other reaction pathways such as self- and cross reaction with other RO2or with HO2radicals become competitive. To study these reactions, UV absorption spectroscopy has been employed in the past: this technique gives good sensitivity for peroxy radicals, but poor selectivity as these radicals have broad absorption features in the UV. We have established a technique allowing to follow peroxy radicals with a better selectivity compared to UV, but with still good sensitivity by coupling laser photolysis to cw-Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy in the near IR.
I will present the experimental technique and results on the recent measurement of the rate constant of the self-reaction of the acetylperoxy radical, CH3C(O)O2. Studying this reaction is much complicated due to unavoidable secondary chemistry: the self-reaction leads to formation of CH3O2radicals, which in turn react with CH3C(O)O2. This reaction has two different paths, one leading to stable products, the other to CH3O2and HO2radicals. The HO2radicals from this reaction in turn react with both, CH3C(O)O2and CH3O2radicals, leading also to either stable products or recycling the radicals. Therefore, the branching ratios of both secondary reactions will influence the decay of the acetylperoxy radical and need to be determined.
