Isomerization of alkoxy radicals under atmospheric conditions
Article Abstract:
The isomerization reactions of 2- and 3-hexoxy radicals under conditions relevant to the polluted troposphere was examined together with their end-products. Results supported the hypothesized dominance of isomerization over other reaction mechanisms typically undergone by longer chain alkoxy radicals, such as reacting with oxygen or thermal decomposition. Specifically, the fraction of hexoxy radicals which isomerized was determined to be at least 68%.

Direct photolysis of tricholoroethene in air: effect of cocontaminants, toxicity of products, and hydrothermal treatment of products
Article Abstract:
The influence of cocontaminants, product toxicity and hydrothermal treatment in the direct photolysis of tricholoroethene in air was investigated. The results showed that higher chlorinated ethenes photolyzed rapidly and competed with catalytic thermal oxidation. Common contaminants generally photooxidized in a slow manner, thus limiting their use in practical applications.
