Dagaut, T. J. Wallington, M. J. Kurylo Title: A flash photolysis investigation of the UV absorption spectrum and self-reaction kinetics of CH2ClCH2O2 radicals in the gas phase Journal/Source: Chem. Phys. Lett., 146, 589-595, (1988); doi:10.1016/0009-2614(88)87507-9 Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 210 - 290 nm Resolution: Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas pH: Comments: The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of the chloro-ethylperoxy radical, CH2ClCH2O2, and the kinetics of its self-reaction have been studied in the gas phase using a flash photolysis technique. The room temperature absorption cross section at 250 nm was determined to be sigma CH2ClCH2O2 (250 nm)=(3.64±0.39) × 10-18 cm2 molecule-1.
