Abstract

The importance of alkoxy radicals in the atmospheric chemistry was discussed. Absolute rates and temperature dependences of major atmospheric reactions, unimolecular dissociation and reaction with oxygen, were also obtained and studied in the case of the nonsubstituted alkoxy radicals. The direct studies of alkoxy radicals was carried out using pulsed laser photolysis to generate the alkoxy radicals, and pulsed laser-induced fluorescence for their detection. Direct detection of alkoxy radical isomerization reaction and of the effects of chemical activation proved to be of great importance.
