Dagaut, T.J. Wallington, M.J. Kurylo Title: The UV absorption spectra and kinetics of the self reactions of CH2ClO2 and CH2FO2 radicals in the gas phase Journal/Source: Int. J. Chem. Kinetics, 20, 815-826, (1988); DOI: 10.1002/kin.550201006 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 spectra of chloromethylperoxy and fluoromethylperoxy radicals, CH2ClO2 and CH2FO2, and the kinetics of their respective self reactions have been studied in the gas phase using a flash photolysis technique. The absorption spectra for both radicals were quantified over the wavelength range 210 and 290 nm. Scaled by 4.58/3.83 to sigma(CH3O2) at 240 nm.
