Grebenkin, L.N. Krasnoperov Title: Kinetics and Thermochemistry of the Hydroxycyclohexadienyl Radical Reaction with O2: C6H6OH + O2 <--> C6H6(OH)OO Journal/Source: J. Phys. Chem. A, 108 (11), 1953-1963, (2004); DOI: 10.1021/jp030935c Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 214 - 218 nm Resolution: 0.027 nm (fwhm) Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: 1 bar (He) Phase: gas pH: Comments: Measurements of the Absorption Cross-Section of the CH3 Radical at 216.509 nm.Methyl radicals were generated by laser photolysis (193 nm) of acetone vapor in helium. The absorption cross section sigma(216.509 nm) = (4.20 ± 0.15) x 10-17 cm2 molecule-1 (He, 298 K, 1 bar) was obtained (the errors are one standard deviation).
