Abstract :
The rate constants, k1 and k2 for the reactions of C2F5OC(O)H and n-C3F7OC(O)H with OH radicals were measured using an FT-IR technique at 253–328 K. k1 and k2 were determined as (9.24 ± 1.33) × 10−13 exp[−(1230 ± 40)/T] and (1.41 ± 0.26) × 10−12 exp[−(1260 ± 50)/T] cm3 molecule−1 s−1. The random errors reported are ±2 σ, and potential systematic errors of 10% could add to the k1 and k2. The atmospheric lifetimes of C2F5OC(O)H and n-C3F7OC(O)H with respect to reaction with OH radicals were estimated at 3.6 and 2.6 years, respectively.
