The atmospheric chemistry of alkoxy radicals
Article Abstract:
A combination of time-resolved measurements, end-product studies, and theoretical approaches has produced quantitative knowledge regarding the end-products from most relatively small organic species encountered in the atmosphere. Unimolecular dissociation and reaction with O2, is obtained in the case of nonsubstituted alkoxy radicals derived from C1-C4 alkanes, absolute rates and temperature dependences of major atmospheric reactions.

Kinetics of aqueous phase reactions relevant for atmospheric chemistry
Article Abstract:
Results of studies of liquid phase reaction are reviewed which would lay the groundwork for further chemical mechanism construction for tropospheric cloud and aerosol chemistry models. The Evans-Polanyi type correlations for H-abstraction reactions of OH are discussed and a simple model is suggested to account for primary kinetic salt effects in reactions involving an ion and a neutral species.
