Abstract
The atmospheric oxidation mechanism of methyl formate was studied. The products following Cl atom initiated oxidation of methyl formate in 700-760 Torr of air in the presence and absence of NOx at 296 ± 2 K were investigated using three different Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) smog chamber techniques. The infrared spectrum of the peroxynitrate was recorded, and absorption cross sections (base e) of (1.8 ± 0.1) × 10-18 and (4.2 ± 0.2) × 10-18 cm2 molecule-1 at 1836 and 1236 cm-1, respectively, were determined.
