I.1 Basis of the Recommendations 

The recommended rate data and cross sections are based on laboratory measurements. In order to provide 

recommendations that are as up-to-date as possible, preprints and written private communications are accepted, but 

only when it is expected that they will appear as published journal articles. Under no circumstances are rate constants 

adjusted to fit observations of atmospheric concentrations. The Panel considers the question of consistency of data 

with expectations based on the theory of reaction kinetics, and when a discrepancy appears to exist this fact is pointed 

out in the accompanying note. The major use of theoretical extrapolation of data is in connection with three-body 

reactions, in which the required pressure or temperature dependence is sometimes unavailable from laboratory 

measurements, and can be estimated by use of appropriate theoretical treatment. In the case of important rate 

constants for which no experimental data are available, the panel may provide estimates of rate constant parameters 

based on analogy to similar reactions for which data are available. 

I.2 Scope of the Evaluation 

In the past (releases 1-12 of this evaluation) it has been the practice of the Panel to reevaluate the entire set 

of reactions with individual Panel members taking responsibility for specific chemical families or processes. In recent 

years, the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UT/LS) have become the primary areas of focus for model 

calculations and atmospheric measurements related to studies of ozone depletion and climate change. Because the 

UT/LS is a region of relatively high chemical and dynamical complexity, a different approach has been adopted for 

future releases of the evaluation. Specifically, the entire reaction set of the data evaluation will no longer be reevaluated for each release. Instead, specific subsets will be chosen for re-evaluation, with several Panel members 

working to develop recommendations for a given area. This approach will make it possible to treat each subset in 
x

greater depth, and to expand the scope of the evaluation to new areas. It is the aim of the Panel to consider the entire 

set of kinetics, photochemical and thermodynamic parameters every three review cycles. Each release of the 

evaluation will contain not only the new evaluations, but also recommendations for every process that has been 

considered in the past. In this way, the tables for each release will constitute a complete set of recommendations. 

It is recognized that important new laboratory data may be published that lie outside the specific subset 

chosen for re-evaluation. In order to ensure that these important data receive prompt consideration, each evaluation 

will also have a “special topics” category. Feedback from the atmospheric modeling community is solicited in the 

selection of reactions for this category. 

For the current evaluation, the specific subsets include the following: 

• Hydrocarbon chemistry of the upper troposphere (C3 hydrocarbons and below). 

• Reactions of OH and Cl with halocarbon species. 

• Photochemistry of halocarbon species. 

• Heterogeneous processes on liquid sulfuric acid and soot surfaces 

• Thermodynamic parameters (entropy and enthalpy of formation) 

• The special topics category includes the following reactions: O3 + hν, O + O2 + M, OH + O3, HO2 + O3, 

OH + NO2 + M, HO2 + NO2 + M, OH + HNO3, OH + ClO, HO2 + ClO and ClO + ClO + M. 

I.3 Format of the Evaluation 

Changes or additions to the tables of data are indicated by shading. A new entry is completely shaded, 

whereas a changed entry is shaded only where it has changed. In some cases only the note has been changed, in 

which case the corresponding note number in the table is shaded. 

I.4 Computer Access 

This document is available online in the form of individual chapters and as a complete document in Adobe 

PDF (Portable Data File) format. Files may be downloaded from http://jpldataeval.jpl.nasa.gov/. This document is not 

available in printed form from JPL. 

Individuals who wish to receive notice when the web page is revised should submit email addresses in the 

appropriate reply box on the web page. 

For more information, contact Stanley Sander (Stanley.Sander@jpl.nasa.gov). 

I.5 Data Formats 

In Table 1 (Rate Constants for Bimolecular Reactions) the reactions are grouped into the classes Ox, HOx, 

NOx, Organic Compounds, FOx, ClOx, BrOx, IOx, SOx and Metal Reactions. The data in Table 2 (Rate Constants for 

Association Reactions) are presented in the same order as the bimolecular reactions. The presentation of 

photochemical cross section data follows the same sequence. 

I.6 Units 

The rate constants are given in units of concentration expressed as molecules per cubic centimeter and 

time in seconds. Thus, for first-, second-, and third-order reactions the units of k are s-1, cm3

 molecule-1 s-1, and 

cm6 molecule-2 s-1, respectively. Cross sections are expressed as cm2 molecule-1, base e. 

I.7 Noteworthy Changes in This Evaluation 

I.7.1 Bimolecular Reactions 

I.7.1.1 Hydrocarbon Reactions Important in the Upper Troposphere 

Atmospheric observations suggest that photochemistry in the upper troposphere has a much greater global 

significance than previously believed. The production of O3 in this region is significant and is controlled by 

interaction of the HOx and NOx radical families. Increasingly, it has been recognized that organic compounds (e.g. 

ketones, aldehydes, peroxides, and acids) play an important role in supplying HOx to the upper troposphere. NOx

sources in this region are numerous and long-lived reservoir species such as peroxyacyl nitrates (e.g. PAN) and 

peroxynitric acid (PNA) serve to redistribute NOx globally. 
xi

In addition, there is renewed interest in the role of convective activity in lifting short-lived hydrocarbons 

and halocarbon species to levels near the tropopause. If the convection does not directly penetrate the stratosphere, 

the reactive organics and organo-halogens are likely to react in the upper troposphere. This would be a mechanism for 

the transport of aldehydes and peroxides noted above. In case of the organo-halogen compounds, releasing 

degradation products and/or chlorine and bromine radicals in the upper troposphere can be significant. The 

subsequent fate of the degradation products, especially whether they survive long enough to be transported from the 

upper troposphere into the stratosphere to affect the halogen budget, is an important open question. 

In this update we have considered a set of reactions of importance in upper tropospheric HOx, NOx and 

shortlived halocarbon chemistry. The set includes reactions of OH and Cl with selected alkyl peroxides, organic 

acids, alkyl and acyl nitrates, aldehydes, and alcohols. It also includes reactions of Cl with various alkylhalides. 

We have also updated kinetics parameters for a number of alkylperoxy self- and cross-reactions of 

importance in upper tropospheric HOx chemistry. The reactions of peroxy radicals have been studied in the laboratory 

for many years. However, there are some key difficulties associated with such studies. First, many of the peroxy 

radicals of interest to the atmosphere are radical-radical reactions that are inherently difficult to study in isolation. For 

example, many of the reactions of peroxy radicals cannot be carried out under pseudo-first order conditions. Second, 

many peroxy radical reactions produce reactive products that unavoidably lead to further reactions with the species 

being monitored. Third, most peroxy radicals do not fluoresce and none have been observed via a fluorescence 

technique. They also have weak, unstructured absorption spectra in the ultraviolet, which often overlap with those of 

other peroxy radicals. Therefore, a sensitiveity and selectiveity method for the detection of peroxy radicals is missing. 

Lastly, in general, peroxy radical reactions often have more than one set of products. 

Previously, it was not always possible to perform a critical analysis using a self-consistent data base 

because (a) all the information about the experiments was not available, (b) it required re-analysis of previous data in 

light of new information such as absorption cross sections and product yields, and (c) the knowledge of the 

interfering reactions and their rates was also uncertain. Therefore, a panel of scientists who have worked with the 

peroxy radicals of interest to the atmosphere and whose data usually form the basis of recommendations was 

assembled as a part of the SPARC-IGAC initiative. This panel critically reevaluated the existing data, discarded 

some, and modified others to arrive at a self-consistent evaluation of the rate coefficients and product yields in the 

reactions of RO2 radicals. This effort resulted in a paper that was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research 

[15]. The current recommendation uses these evaluated data. 

Our consideration of upper tropospheric reactions has resulted in the addition of 18 new reactions, most of 

which involve reactions of Cl with alkyl nitrates, alkyl halides and organic peroxides and acids. Changes to the 

existing reactions mainly represent small refinements of the Arrhenius parameters and tightening of the uncertainty 

limits. One significant change involves the OH + acetone reaction rate coefficient which may exhibit curved 

Arrhenius behavior. 

I.7.1.2 OH + Halocarbon Reactions 

A comprehensive review of the reactions of industrial and naturally occurring halocarbons with the 

hydroxyl radical (OH) was conducted for this evaluation. In doing so, attempts were made to understand and 

reconcile apparent differences between the results of absolute and relative rate measurements for some of the 

reactions. Relative rate constants were “renormalized” using the revised recommendations for the reference reactions. 

Thus, the re-evaluation procedure was an iterative one, since relative rate studies themselves were often included as 

the basis for the rate constant recommendations of these very reference reactions. The recommendations were then 

checked for self-consistency by seeing whether ratios of the recommended rate constants were in agreement with 

published relative rate measurements. 

In some cases, disparities may seem to exist. However, it should be recognized that the focus of this reevaluation was the generation of recommended rate constants over the temperature range of atmospheric importance 

(i.e., below 300 K). Many of the latest (or relatively recent) absolute rate studies have focused on this region but often 

extend to temperatures greater than 300 K Relative rate investigations, on the other hand, have been conducted 

predominantly above room temperature, with only limited extension below 300 K. This can lead to difficulties in 

evaluating the studies since many of the OH + halocarbon reactions exhibit pronounced Arrhenius curvature. This 

curvature has several possible causes including multiple reaction pathways (different types of abstractable H atoms), 

multiple reactant conformers (whose populations and reactivity differ with temperature), and tunneling. Of course, 

convincing evidence had to exist that such Arrhenius behavior was indeed real and not an artifact of the experimental 

procedure. For example, one of the common reasons for experimentally observed non-Arrhenius behavior is the 
xii

presence of highly reactive impurities in the samples used in the absolute measurements. However, most recent 

absolute studies have involved thorough reactant sample purification and analysis and curvature in the Arrhenius plot 

is not likely due to such impurities. Thus, in the presence of real Arrhenius curvature, a rate constant expression 

derived predominantly from absolute rate constant measurements conducted below room temperature may not be 

appropriate for normalizing relative rate constant measurements conducted above room temperature. More detail 

about these issues may be found in the notes for the reactions of OH with HFC-152a and HFC-152 (reactions E7 and 

E8, respectively). 

For some reactions in this section, there have been significant revisions in the recommendations as a result 

of new and improved studies. For other reactions, only minor changes from earlier recommendations have been 

made. Nevertheless, in all cases, such changes were made so that the complete set of recommendations is completely 

current with the published literature and is self-consistent. Finally, several new reactions have been included and the 

rate constant uncertainty factors (f and g) have been carefully reviewed in an attempt to narrow the range of rate 

constant uncertainties for modeling purposes. Previous uncertainty limits were overly conservative in some cases. In 

the present evaluation, the 2σ confidence limits derived from these factors were visually inspected together with the 

complete experimental database for consistency. 

I.7.1.3 Absorption Cross Sections and Quantum Yields 

The database for the evaluation of the absorption cross sections and quantum yields has been expanded 

considerably for all the halocarbon compounds. Whereas the previous evaluation JPL 97-4 reported only the 

absorption cross sections of a limited number of selected halocarbons, the present evaluation includes now a 

comprehensive review of most halocarbons of atmospheric relevance investigated in recent years. 

The newly evaluated halocarbons are listed in Table 4. This list includes new entries for C1 to C4

chloroalkanes, C1 to C2 chlorofluoroalkanes (CFCs) and C1 to C3 hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). For these 

species the database was expanded from 14 to 26 compounds. Moreover, the database for the brominated hydro- and 

mixed halocarbons, including halons, was increased from 6 to 18 compounds. Finally, a large range of iodinecontaining compounds (total 32) has now been implemented in the present evaluation. 

Also new in this section is the incorporation of temperature-dependence data, including the parameters 

used to express the temperature variation of the absorption cross sections by a polynomial expansion formula. These 

expressions will allow the calculation of absorption cross sections in a wide range of stratospheric temperatures. 

Finally, quantum yield data have also been updated for many species. 

I.7.2 Heterogeneous Processes 

New and/or updated evaluations in this document have focused on uptake measurements on binary liquid 

sulfuric acid/water solutions, supplemented in a few cases by data on ternary liquid sulfuric acid/nitric acid/water 

solutions, on water ice, and on “soot” (see definitions in the section on heterogeneous chemistry). No updates on solid 

acid/ice compositions are presented in this document, although evaluations for key nitrogen oxide sequestration 

and/or halogen activation reactions on nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) surfaces were recently re-evaluated and presented 

in JPL 00-3 [14]. Uptake data on alumina, salt and aqueous salt solutions have not been updated since JPL 97-4 [11]. 

Henry’s law solubility data for reactive upper tropospheric/stratospheric species in binary liquid sulfuric acid/water, 

and, where available, in ternary liquid sulfuric acid/nitric acid/water solutions have also been updated and a much 

more extensive compilation of Henry’s law parameters for pure water has been added. 

I.7.3 Thermodynamic Parameters 

The table in Appendix 1 contains selected entropy and enthalpy of formation values at 298 K for a number 

of atmospheric species. As much as possible, the values were taken from primary evaluations, that is, evaluations that 

develop a recommended value from the original studies. Otherwise, the values were selected from the original 

literature, which is referenced in the table. Often, the enthalpy of formation and the entropy values are taken from 

different sources, usually due to a more recent value for the enthalpy of formation. The cited error limits are from the 

original references and therefore reflect widely varying criteria. Some enthalpy values were corrected slightly to 

reflect the value of a reference compound selected for this table; these are indicated. Values that are calculated or 

estimated are also indicated in the table.

1.1 Introduction 

In Table 1 (Rate Constants for Second-Order Reactions) the reactions are grouped into the classes Ox, 

O(1

D), Singlet O2, HOx, NOx, Organic Compounds, FOx, ClOx, BrOx, IOx, SOx and Metals. Some of the reactions in 

Table 1-1 are actually more complex than simple two-body reactions. To explain the pressure and temperature 

dependences occasionally seen in reactions of this type, it is necessary to consider the bimolecular class of reactions in 

terms of two subcategories, direct (concerted) and indirect (nonconcerted) reactions. 

A direct or concerted bimolecular reaction is one in which the reactants A and B proceed to products C and 

D without the intermediate formation of an AB adduct that has appreciable bonding, i.e., there is no bound 

intermediate; only the transition state (AB) ≠ lies between reactants and products. 

A + B → (AB)≠ → C + D 

The reaction of OH with CH4 forming H2O + CH3 is an example of a reaction of this class. 

Very useful correlations between the expected structure of the transition state [AB] ≠

 and the A-Factor of 

the reaction rate constant can be made, especially in reactions that are constrained to follow a well-defined approach 

of the two reactants in order to minimize energy requirements in the making and breaking of bonds. The rate constants 

for these reactions are well represented by the Arrhenius expression k = A exp(–E/RT) in the 200–300 K temperature 

range. These rate constants are not pressure dependent. 

The indirect or nonconcerted class of bimolecular reactions is characterized by a more complex reaction 

path involving a potential well between reactants and products, leading to a bound adduct (or reaction complex) 

formed between the reactants A and B: 

A + B ↔ [AB]* → C + D 

The intermediate [AB]* is different from the transition state [AB]≠

, in that it is a bound molecule which 

can, in principle, be isolated.(Of course, transition states are involved in all of the above reactions, both forward and 

backward, but are not explicitly shown.) An example of this reaction type is ClO + NO, which normally produces 

Cl + NO2.Reactions of the nonconcerted type can have a more complex temperature dependence and can exhibit a 

pressure dependence if the lifetime of [AB]* is comparable to the rate of collisional deactivation of [AB]*. This arises 

because the relative rate at which [AB]* goes to products C + D vs. reactants A + B is a sensitive function of its 

excitation energy. Thus, in reactions of this type, the distinction between the bimolecular and termolecular 

classification becomes less meaningful, and it is especially necessary to study such reactions under the temperature 

and pressure conditions in which they are to be used in model calculation, or, alternatively, to develop a reliable 

theoretical basis for extrapolation of data. 

The rate constant tabulation for second-order reactions (Table 1-1) is given in Arrhenius form:

k(T) = A exp ((-E/R)(1/T)) 

and contains the following information: 
1-2

1. Reaction stoichiometry and products (if known). The pressure dependences are included, where 

appropriate. 

2. Arrhenius A-factor. 

3. Temperature dependence and associated uncertainty (“activation temperature” E/R±g). 

4. Rate constant at 298 K. 

5. Uncertainty factor at 298 K. 

6. Note giving basis of recommendation and any other pertinent information. 

1.2 Uncertainty Estimates 

For bimolecular rate constants in Table 1-1, an estimate of the uncertainty at any given temperature, f(T), 

may be obtained from the following expression: 

1 1 f(T)=f(298 K)exp g T 298

  −    

Note that the exponent is an absolute value. An upper or lower bound (corresponding approximately to one 

standard deviation) of the rate constant at any temperature T can be obtained by multiplying or dividing the 

recommended value of the rate constant at that temperature by the factor f(T). The quantity f(298 K) is the uncertainty 

in the rate constant at T = 298 K. The quantity g has been defined in this evaluation for use with f(298 K) in the above 

expression to obtain the rate constant uncertainty at different temperatures. It should not be interpreted as the 

uncertainty in the Arrhenius activation temperature (E/R). Both uncertainty factors, f(298 K) and g, do not necessarily 

result from a rigorous statistical analysis of the available data. Rather, they are chosen by the evaluators to construct 

the appropriate uncertainty factor, f(T), shown above. 

This approach is based on the fact that rate constants are almost always known with minimum uncertainty 

at room temperature. The overall uncertainty normally increases at other temperatures, because there are usually fewer 

data at other temperatures. In addition, data obtained at temperatures far distant from 298 K may be less accurate than 

at room temperature due to various experimental difficulties. 

The uncertainty represented by f(T) is normally symmetric; i.e., the rate constant may be greater than or 

less than the recommended value, k(T), by the factor f(T). In a few cases in Table 1-1 asymmetric uncertainties are 

given in the temperature coefficient. For these cases, the factors by which a rate constant is to be multiplied or divided 

to obtain, respectively, the upper and lower limits are not equal, except at 298 K where the factor is simply f(298 K). 

Explicit equations are given below for the case where g is given as (g +a, –b): 

For T > 298 K, multiply by the factor 

1 1 a 298 T f(298)e     −     

and divide by the factor 

1 1 b

298 T f(298)e

     −     

For T < 298 K, multiply by the factor 

1 1 b

T 298 f(298)e

     −     

and divide by the factor 

1 1 a T 298 f(298)e     −     

Examples of symmetric and asymmetric error limits are shown in Figure 1-1. 
1-3

Figure 1-1. Symmetric and Asymmetric Error Limits 

The assigned uncertainties represent the subjective judgment of the Panel. They are not determined by a 

rigorous, statistical analysis of the database, which generally is too limited to permit such an analysis. Rather, the 

uncertainties are based on knowledge of the techniques, the difficulties of the experiments, and the potential for 

systematic errors. 

There is obviously no way to quantify these “unknown” errors. The spread in results among different 

techniques for a given reaction may provide some basis for an uncertainty, but the possibility of the same, or 

compensating, systematic errors in all the studies must be recognized. 
1-4

Furthermore, the probability distribution may not follow the normal Gaussian form. For measurements 

subject to large systematic errors, the true rate constant may be much further from the recommended value than would 

be expected based on a Gaussian distribution with the stated uncertainty. As an example, in the past the recommended 

rate constants for the reactions HO2 + NO and Cl + ClONO2 changed by factors of 30–50. These changes could not 

have been allowed for with any reasonable values of σ in a Gaussian distribution.

1.3 Notes to Table 1 

A1. O + O3. The recommended rate expression is from Wine et al. [1316] and is a linear least squares fit of all 

data (unweighted) from Davis et al. [319], McCrumb and Kaufman [795], West et al. [1294], Arnold and 

Comes [29], and Wine et al. [1316]. 

A2. O(1

D) Reactions. The rate constants are for the disappearance of O(1D), which includes physical quenching 

or deactivation. Where information is available, product yields are given. The rate constant recommendations 

are based on averages of the absolute rate constant measurements reported by Streit et al. [1123], Davidson et 

al. [312] and Davidson et al. [311] for N2O, H2O, CH4, H2, N2, O2, O3, CCl4, CFCl3, CF2Cl2, NH3, and CO2; 

by Amimoto et al. [18], Amimoto et al. [17], and Force and Wiesenfeld [405,406] for N2O, H2O, CH4, N2, 

H2, O2, O3, CO2, CCl4, CFCl3, CF2Cl2, and CF4; by Wine and Ravishankara [1317–1319] for N2O, H2O, N2, 

H2, O3, CO2, and CF2O; by Brock and Watson (private communication, 1980) for N2, O2 and CO2; by Lee 

and Slanger [701,702] for H2O and O2; by Gericke and Comes [427] for H2O; and by Shi and Barker [1057] 

for N2 and CO2, and Talukdar and Ravishankara [1157] for H2. The weight of the evidence from these studies 

indicates that the results of Heidner and Husain [494], Heidner et al. [493] and Fletcher and Husain [399,400] 

contain a systematic error. For the critical atmospheric reactants, such as N2O, H2O, and CH4, the 

recommended absolute rate constants are in good agreement with the previous relative measurements when 

compared with N2 as the reference reactant. A similar comparison with O2 as the reference reactant gives 

somewhat poorer agreement. 

A3. O(1

D) + O2. The deactivation of O(1D) by O2 leads to the production of O2(

1

∆) with an efficiency of 80±20%: 

Noxon [901], Biedenkapp and Bair [119], Snelling [1096], and Lee and Slanger [701]. The O2(

1

∆) is 

produced in the v=0, 1, and 2 vibrational levels in the amounts 60%, 40%, and <3%, Gauthier and Snelling 

[424] and Lee and Slanger [701]. 

A4. O(1

D) + O3. The branching result for reaction of O(1D) with O3 to give O2 + O2 or O2 + O + O is from 

Davenport et al. [306]. This is supported by measurements of Amimoto et al. [18] who reported that on 

average one ground state O is produced per O(1

D) reaction with O3. It seems unlikely that this could result 

from 100% quenching of the O(1

D) by O3. 

A5. O(1

D) + H2. Wine and Ravishankara [1318] have determined the yield of O(3P) is <4.9%. The major products 

are H + OH. Koppe et al. [649] report a 2.7 times larger rate coefficient at a kinetic energy of 0.12eV. This 

does not agree with the observations of Davidson et al. [312], who reported that k is independent of 

temperature (200–350 K) and Matsumi et al. [791] who report no change in k when hot O(1

D) is moderated 

with Ar. 

A6. O(1

D) + H2O. Measurements of the O2 + H2 product yield were made by Zellner et al. [1361] (1 +0.5 or –1)% 

and by Glinski and Birks [445] (0.6 +0.7 or –0.6)%. The yield of O(3

P) from O(1D) + H2O is reported to be 

<(4.9±3.2)% by Wine and Ravishankara [1318] and (2±1)% by Takahashi et al. [1146]. 

To calculate the rates of OH production via O(1D) reactions in the atmosphere, the quantities of interest are 

the ratios of the rate coefficients for the reaction of O(1

D) with H2O to those with N2 and with O2. The ratios 

of the rate coefficients for O(1

D) reactions measured using the same method (and often the same apparatus) 

are more accurate (and precise) than the individual rate constants that are quoted in Table 1. Ratio data are 

given in the original references for this reaction. 

A7. O(1

D) +N2O. The branching ratio for the reaction of O(1D) with N2O to give N2 + O2 or NO + NO is an 

average of the values reported by Davidson et al. [309]; Volltrauer et al. [1236]; Marx et al. [790] and Lam et 

al. [675], with a spread in R=k(NO + NO)/k(Total) = 0.52 – 0.62. Cantrell et al. [198] reported a 

measurement of R=0.57 and an analysis of all measurements from 1957–1994 leads them to recommend a 

value of R=0.61±0.06, where the uncertainty indicates their 95% confidence interval. The recommended 

branching ratio agrees well with earlier measurements of the quantum yield from N2O photolysis (Calvert 

and Pitts [189]). The O(1

D) translational energy and temperature dependence effects are not clearly resolved. 

Wine and Ravishankara [1318] have determined that the yield of O(3

P) from O(1D) + N2O is <4.0%. The 

uncertainty for this reaction includes factors for both the overall rate coefficient and the branching ratio. A 

direct measurement by Greenblatt and Ravishankara [455] of the NO yield from the O(1

D) + N2O reaction in 

synthetic air agrees very well with the value predicted using the recommended O(1

D) rate constants for N2, 

O2, and N2O and the O(1

D) + N2O product branching ratio. These authors suggest that their results support 

the recommendations and reduce the uncertainty in the collected rate parameters by over a factor of two. 

To calculate the rates of NO production via O(1

D) reactions in the atmosphere, the quantities of interest are 

the ratios of the rate coefficients for the reaction of O(1

D) with N2O to those with N2 and with O2. The ratios 

of the rate coefficients for O(1

D) reactions measured using the same method (and often the same apparatus) 
1-32

are more accurate and precise than the individual rate constants that are quoted in Table 1.Ratio data are 

given in the original references for this reaction. 

A8. O(1

D) + NH3. Sanders et al. [1024] have detected the products NH(a1∆) and OH formed in the reaction. 

They report that the yield of NH(a1∆) is in the range 3–15% of the amount of OH detected. 

A9. O(1

D) + CH4. The reaction products are (a) CH3 + OH, (b) CH3O or CH2OH + H and (c) CH2O + H2. Lin and 

DeMore [739] analyzed the final products of N2O/CH4 photolysis mixtures and concluded that (a) accounted 

for about 90% and that CH2O and H2 (c) accounted for about 9%. Addison et al. [9] reported an OH yield of 

80%. Casavecchia et al. [202] used a molecular beam experiment to observe H and CH3O (or CH2OH) 

products. They reported that the yield of H2 was <25% of the yield of H from (b). Satyapal et al. [1029] 

observed the production of H atoms in a pulsed laser experiment and reported a yield of H of (25±8)%.

Matsumi et al. [791] measured the yields of H and O(3P) in low pressure gas mixtures and reported the yield 

of H was (15±3)% and the yield of O(3

P) was <5%. Wine and Ravishankara [1318] reported that the yield of 

O(3

P) was <4.3%. Takahashi et al. [1146] reported that the O(3P) yield is <1%. We recommend the following 

branching ratios: (a) (75±15)%, (b) (20±7)%, (c) (5±5)%. 

A10. O(1D) + HCl. The recommendation is the average of measurements by Davidson et al. [312] and Wine et al. 

[1325]. Product studies by the latter indicate: O(3P) + HCl (9±5)%; H + ClO (24±5)%; and OH + Cl 

(67±10)%. Takahashi et al. [1146] report the O(3P) yield is (15±4)%. 

A11. O(1

D) + HF.Rate coefficient and product yield measured by Wine et al. (1984, private communication). The 

O(3

P) yield is less than 4%. 

A12. O(1

D) + HBr.Rate coefficient and products measured by Wine et al. [1325]. Product yields: HBr + O(3P) 

(20±7)%, H + BrO <4.5%, and OH + Br (80±12)%. 

A13. O(1

D) + Cl2.Rate coefficient and O(3P) product were measured by Wine et al. [1314], who reported

Cl2+ O(3P) (25±10)%. Takahashi et al. [1146] reported that the ClO yield is (74±15)%, in excellent 

agreement. An indirect study by Freudenstein and Biedenkapp [409] is in reasonable agreement on the yield 

of ClO. 

A14. O(1

D) + COCl2, COClF and COF2. For the reactions of O(1D) with COCl2 and COClF the recommended rate 

constants are derived from data of Fletcher and Husain [401]. For consistency, the recommended values for 

these rate constants were derived using a scaling factor (0.5) which corrects for the difference between rate 

constants from the Husain laboratory and the recommendations for other O(1

D) rate constants in this table.

The recommendation for COF2 is from the data of Wine and Ravishankara [1319]. Their result is preferred 

over the value of Fletcher and Husain [401] because it appears to follow the pattern of decreased reactivity 

with increased fluorine substitution observed for other halocarbons. These reactions have been studied only at 

298 K.Based on consideration of similar O(1

D) reactions, it is assumed that E/R equals zero, and therefore 

the value shown for the A-factor has been set equal to k(298 K).

A15. O(1

D) + halocarbons. The halocarbon rate constants are for the total disappearance of O(1D) and probably 

include physical quenching. Products of the reactive channels may include CX3O + X, CX2O + X2 (or 2X), 

and CX3 + XO, where X = H, F, Cl, or Br in various combinations.Bromine, chlorine and hydrogen are more 

easily displaced than fluorine from halocarbons. Some values have been reported for the fractions of the total 

rate of disappearance of O(1

D) proceeding through physical quenching and reactive channels. For CCl4:

quenching = (14±6)% and reaction = (86±6)% (Force and Wiesenfeld [405]), ClO yield = (90±19)% 

(Takahashi et al. [1146]; for CFCl3: quenching = (25±10)%, ClO formation = (60±15)% (Donovan, private 

communication, 1980), ClO yield = (88±18)% (Takahashi et al.); for CF2Cl2: quenching = (14±7)% and 

reaction = (86±14)% (Force and Wiesenfeld [405]), quenching = (20±10)%, ClO formation = (55±15)% 

(Donovan), quenching = (19±5)% and ClO formation = (87±18%) (Takahashi et al.). 

A16. O(1

D) + CH3Br. The recommendation is based on data from Thompson and Ravishankara [1165]. They report 

that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is 0±7%. 

A17. O(1

D) + CH2Br2. The recommendation is based on data from Thompson and Ravishankara [1165]. They 

report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (5±7)%. 

A18. O(1

D) + CHBr3. The recommendation is based on data from Thompson and Ravishankara [1165]. The rate 

coefficient is somewhat large compared to analogous compounds. They report that the yield of O(3

P) from 

physical quenching is (32±8)%. 

A19. O(1

D) + CH3F (HFC-41). The recommendation is the average of measurements of Force and Wiesenfeld 

[405] and Schmoltner et al. [1039]. The O(3

P) product yield was reported to be (25±3)% by Force and 

Wiesenfeld,(11±5)% by Schmoltner et al., and (19±5)% by Takahashi et al. [1146].Burks and Lin [175] 

reported observing vibrationally excited HF as a product. Park and Wiesenfeld [929] observed OH. 
1-33

A20. O(1D) + CH2F2 (HFC-32). The recommendation is based upon the measurement of Schmoltner et al. [1039], 

who reported that the yield of O(3

P) is (70±11)%. Green and Wayne [453] measured the loss of CH2F2

relative to the loss of N2O. Their value when combined with our recommendation for O(1

D) + N2O yields a 

rate coefficient for reactive loss of CH2F2 that is about three times the result of Schmoltner et al.Burks and 

Lin [175] reported observing vibrationally excited HF as a product. 

A21. O(1D) + CHF3 (HFC-23). The recommendation is the average of measurements of Force and Wiesenfeld 

[405] and Schmoltner et al. [1039]. The O(3

P) product yield was reported to be (77±15)% by Force and 

Wiesenfeld and (102±3)% by Schmoltner et al. Although physical quenching is the dominant process, 

detectable yields of vibrationally excited HF have been reported by Burks and Lin [175] and Aker et al. [15], 

which indicate the formation of HF + CF2O products. 

A22. O(1

D) + CHCl2F (HCFC-21). The recommendation is based upon the measurement by Davidson et al. [311] 

of the total rate coefficient (physical quenching and reaction). Takahashi et al. [1146] report the yield of ClO 

is (74±15)%. 

A23. O(1

D) + CHClF2 (HCFC-22). The recommendation is based upon the measurements by Davidson et al. [311] 

and Warren et al. [1277] of the total rate coefficient. A measurement of the rate of reaction (halocarbon 

removal) relative to the rate of reaction with N2O by Green and Wayne [453] agrees very well with this value 

when the O(1

D) + N2O recommendation is used to obtain an absolute value. A relative measurement by 

Atkinson et al. [41] gives a rate coefficient about a factor of two higher. Addison et al. [9] reported the 

following product yields:ClO (55±10)%, CF2 (45±10)%, O(3

P) (28 +10 or –15)%, and OH 5%, where the 

O(3

P) comes from a branch yielding CF2 and HCl. Warren et al. [1277] also report a yield of O(3P) of 

(28±6)%, which they interpret as the product of physical quenching. 

A24. O(1

D) + CClF3 (CFC-13). The recommendation is based on the measurement by Ravishankara et al.[985] 

who report (31±10)% physical quenching. Takahashi et al. [1146] report the yields of O(3

P) (16±5)% and 

ClO (85±18)%. 

A25. O(1

D) + CClBrF2 (Halon 1211). The recommendation is based on data from Thompson and Ravishankara 

[1165]. They report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (36±4)%. 

A26. O(1

D) + CBr2F2 (Halon 1202). The recommendation is based on data from Thompson and Ravishankara 

[1165]. They report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (54±6)%. 

A27. O(1

D) + CBrF3 (Halon 1301). The recommendation is based on data from Thompson and Ravishankara 

[1165]. They report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (59±8)%. Lorenzen-Schmidt et al. 

[753] measured the Halon removal rate relative to the N2O removal rate and report that the rate coefficient for 

the Halon destruction path is (4.0±0.4) × 10–11, which is in excellent agreement with Thompson and 

Ravishankara. 

A28. O(1

D) + CF4 (CFC-14). The recommendation is based upon the measurement by Ravishankara et al. [985], 

who report (92±8)% physical quenching. Force and Wiesenfeld [405] measured a quenching rate coefficient 

about 10 times larger. Shi and Barker [1057] report an upper limit that is consistent with the recommendation.

The small rate coefficient for this reaction makes it vulnerable to interference from reactant impurities. For 

this reason the recommendation should probably be considered an upper limit. 

A29. O(1

D) + CH3CH2F (HFC 161). The recommendation is based on data from Schmoltner et al. [1039]. They 

report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (18±5)%. 

A30. O(1

D) + CH3CHF2 (HFC-152a). The recommendation is based on the measurements of Warren et al. [1277], 

who report (54±7)% physical quenching. 

A31. O(1

D) + CH3CCl2F (HCFC-141b). The recommendation is based upon the measurement of Warren et al. 

[1277], who report (31±5)% physical quenching. 

A32. O(1

D) + CH3CClF2 (HCFC-142b). The recommendation is based upon the measurement of Warren et al. 

[1277], who report (26±5)% physical quenching. This agrees very well with Green and Wayne [453], who 

measured the loss of CH3CF2Cl relative to the loss of N2O, when the recommendation for N2O is used. 

A33. O(1

D) + CH3CF3 (HFC-143a). The recommendation is based upon the relative rate measurement of Green and 

Wayne [453], who measured the loss of CH3CF3 relative to the loss of N2O. The recommendation for N2O is 

used to obtain the value given.It is assumed that there is no physical quenching, although the reported 

physical quenching by CH2FCF3 and CH3CHF2 suggests some quenching is possible. 

A34. O(1

D) + CH2ClCClF2 (HCFC-132b). The recommendation is based upon the relative rate measurement of 

Green and Wayne [453], who measured the loss of CH2ClCF2Cl relative to the loss of N2O. The 

recommendation for N2O is used to obtain the value given.It is assumed that there is no physical quenching. 
1-34

A35. O(1D) + CH2ClCF3 (HCFC-133a). The recommendation is based upon the measurement of Warren et al. 

[1277], who report (20±5)% physical quenching. This agrees with Green and Wayne [453] who measured the 

loss of CH2ClCF3 relative to the loss of N2O, when the recommendation for N2O is used. 

A36. O(1

D) + CH2FCF3 (HFC-134a). The recommendation is based on the measurement of Warren et al. [1277] 

who report (94+6/–1)% physical quenching. The predominance of physical quenching is surprising, 

considering the presence of C–H bonds, which are usually reactive toward O(1

D) . 

A37. O(1

D) + CHCl2CF3 (HCFC-123). The recommendation is based upon measurements by Warren et al. [1277].

The relative rate measurement of Green and Wayne [453], who measured the loss of CHCl2CF3 relative to the 

loss of N2O, agrees well with the recommendation when the recommendation for N2O is used. Warren et al. 

report (21 ± 8)% physical quenching. 

A38. O(1

D) + CHClFCF3 (HCFC-124). The recommendation is based upon the measurement of Warren et al. 

[1277], who report (31 ± 10)% physical quenching. 

A39. O(1D) + CHF2CF3 (HFC-125). The recommendation is based upon the measurement of Warren et al. [1277], 

who report (85+15/–22)% physical quenching. Green and Wayne [453] measured the loss of CHF2CF3

relative to the loss of N2O and report a loss corresponding to about 40% of the recommended rate coefficient.

This reaction is much faster than one would predict by analogy to similar compounds, such as CH2FCF3. 

A40. O(1

D) + CCl3CF3 (CFC-113a). The recommendation is an estimate based on analogy to similar compounds. 

A41. O(1

D) + CCl2FCClF2 (CFC-113). The recommendation is an estimate based on analogy to similar 

compounds. 

A42. O(1

D) + CCl2FCF3 (CFC-114a). The recommendation is an estimate based on analogy to similar compounds. 

A43. O(1

D) + CClF2CClF2 (CFC-114). The recommendation is based on the measurement by Ravishankara et al. 

[985], who report (25 ± 9)% physical quenching. 

A44. O(1

D) + CClF2CF3 (CFC-115). The recommendation is based on the measurement by Ravishankara et 

al.[985], who report (70 ± 7)% physical quenching. 

A45. O(1

D) + CBrF2CBrF2 (Halon 2402). The recommendation is based on data from Thompson and Ravishankara 

[1165]. They report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (25±7)%. Lorenzen-Schmidt et al. 

[753] measured the Halon removal rate relative to the N2O removal rate and report that the rate coefficient for 

the Halon destruction path is (8.8 ± 1.2) × 10–11, in fair agreement with the result of Thompson and 

Ravishankara. 

A46. O(1

D) + C2F6 (CFC-116). The recommendation is based on a measurement by Ravishankara et al. [985], who 

report (85 ± 15)% physical quenching. The small rate coefficient for this reaction makes it vulnerable to 

interference from reactant impurities. For this reason the recommendation should probably be considered an 

upper limit. 

A47. O(1

D) + CHF2CF2CF2CHF2 (HFC 338 pcc). The recommendation is based on data from Schmoltner et al. 

[1039]. They report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (97 ± 9)%. 

A48. O(1

D) + c-C4F8. The recommendation for perfluorocyclobutane is based upon the measurement by 

Ravishankara et al. [985], who report (100 +0 /–15)% physical quenching. The small rate coefficient for this 

reaction makes it vulnerable to interference from reactant impurities. For this reason the recommendation 

should probably be considered an upper limit. 

A49. O(1

D) + CF3CHFCHFCF2CF3 (HFC 43-10 mee). The recommendation is based on data from Schmoltner et 

al. [1039]. The rate coefficients for this compound and CHF2CF3 do not follow the reactivity trend of other 

HFCs. Schmoltner et al. report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (91±4)%. 

A50. O(1

D) + C5F12 (CFC 41-12). The recommendation is based on data from Ravishankara et al. [985]. They 

report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (79±12)%. 

A51. O(1

D) + C6F14 (CFC 51-14). The recommendation is based on data from Ravishankara et al. [985]. They 

report that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (75±9)%. 

A52. O(1

D) + 1,2-(CF3)2c-C4F6. The recommendation is based on data from Ravishankara et al. [985]. They report 

that the yield of O(3

P) from physical quenching is (84±16)%. 

A53. O(1

D) + SF6. The recommendation is based upon measurements by Ravishankara et al. [985] who report 

(32±10)% physical quenching. The small rate coefficient for this reaction makes it vulnerable to interference 

from reactant impurities. For this reason the recommendation should probably be considered an upper limit. 

A54. O2(

1

∆) + O. The recommendation is based on the upper limit reported by Clark and Wayne [232]. 
1-35

A55. O2(

1

∆) + O2. The recommendation is the average of eight room temperature measurements: Steer et al. 

[1108], Findlay and Snelling [392], Borrell et al. [140], Leiss et al. [706], Tachibana and Phelps [1140], 

Billington and Borrell [127], Raja et al. [977], and Wildt et al. [1306]. The temperature dependence is derived 

from the data of Findlay and Snelling and Billington and Borrell. Several other less direct measurements of 

the rate coefficient agree with the recommendation, including Clark and Wayne [231], Findlay et al. [391], 

and McLaren et al. [797]. Wildt et al. [1307] report observations of weak emissions in the near IR due to 

collision-induced radiation. Wildt et al. [1308] give rate coefficients for this process. 

A56. O2(

1

∆) + O3. The recommendation is the average of the room temperature measurements of Clark et al. [230], 

Findlay and Snelling [393], Becker et al. [95], and Collins et al. [266]. Several less direct measurements agree 

well with the recommendation (McNeal and Cook [798], Wayne and Pitts [1290], and Arnold and Comes 

[30]). The temperature dependence is from Findlay and Snelling and Becker et al., who agree very well, 

although both covered a relatively small temperature range. An earlier study by Clark et al. covered a much 

larger range, and found a much smaller temperature coefficient. The reason for this discrepancy is not clear.

The yield of O + 2O2 products appears to be close to unity, based on many studies of the quantum yield of O3

destruction near the peak of the Hartley band. For example, measurements of the number of O3 molecules 

destroyed per photon absorbed: Von Ellenrieder et al. [1237], Ravishankara et al. [991], Lissi and Heicklen 

[746], and references cited therein and measurements of O3 loss and O atom temporal profiles in pulsed 

experiments Klais et al. [633] and Arnold and Comes [30]. Anderson et al. [26] report that the rate coefficient 

for atom exchange between O2(

1

∆) and O3 is < 5×10–16 at 300 K. 

A57. O2(

1

∆) + H2O. The recommendation is the average of the measurements reported by Becker et al. [94] and 

Findlay and Snelling [392]. An earlier study by Clark and Wayne [231] reported a value about three times 

larger. 

A58. O2(

1

∆) + N. The recommendation is an upper limit based upon the measurement reported by Westenberg et 

al. [1301], who used ESR to detect O2(X3

Σ and a1∆), O(3P) and N(4S) with a discharge flow reactor. They 

used an excess of O2(

1

∆) and measured the decay of N and the appearance of O at 195 and 300 K. They 

observed that the reaction of N with O2(

1

∆) is somewhat slower than its reaction with O2(

3

Σ). The 

recommended rate constant value for the latter provides the basis for the recommendation.Clark and Wayne 

[232,233] and Schmidt and Schiff [1036] reported observations of an O2(

1

∆) reaction with N that is about 30 

times faster than the recommended limit. Schmidt and Schiff attribute the observed loss of O2(

1

∆) in excess N 

to a rapid energy exchange with some constituent in discharged nitrogen, other than N. 

A59. O2(

1

∆) + N2. The recommendation is based upon the measurements by Findlay et al. [391] and Becker et al. 

[94]. Other studies obtained higher values for an upper limit:Clark and Wayne [231] and Steer et al. [1108]. 

A60. O2(

1

∆) + CO2. The recommendation is based on the measurements reported by Findlay and Snelling [392] 

and Leiss et al. [706]. Upper limit rate coefficients reported by Becker et al. [94], McLaren et al. [797], and 

Singh et al. [1074] are consistent with the recommendation. 

A61. O2(

1

∆) + O. The recommendation is based on the measurement reported by Slanger and Black [1088]. 

A62. O2(

1

∆) + O2. The recommendation is the average of values reported by Martin et al. [788], Lawton et al. 

[686], and Lawton and Phelps [687], who are in excellent agreement. Measurements by Thomas and Thrush 

[1164], Chatha et al. [214], and Knickelbein et al. [639] are in reasonable agreement with the 

recommendation. Knickelbein et al. report an approximate unit yield of O2(

1

∆) product. 

A63. O2(

1

∆) + O3. The recommendation is based upon the room temperature measurements of Gilpin et al. [439], 

Slanger and Black [1088], Choo and Leu [229], and Shi and Barker [1057]. Measurements by Snelling 

[1096], Amimoto and Wiesenfeld [19], Ogren et al. [903], and Turnipseed et al. [1208] are in very good 

agreement with the recommendation. The temperature dependence is derived from the results of Choo and 

Leu. The yield of 

O + 2O2 products is reported to be (70±20)% by Slanger and Black and Amimoto and Wiesenfeld. 

A64. O2(

1

∆) + H2O. The recommendation is the average of room temperature measurements reported by Stuhl and 

Niki [1127], Filseth et al. [390], Wildt et al. [1306], and Shi and Barker [1057]. These data cover a range of 

about a factor of two. Measurements reported by O'Brien and Myers [902], Derwent and Thrush [342], and 

Thomas and Thrush [1164] are in good agreement with the recommendation. Wildt et al. [1306] report that 

the yield of O2(

1

∆) ≥ 90%. 

A65. O2(

1

∆) + N. The recommendation is based on the limit reported by Slanger and Black [1088]. 
1-36

A66. O2(

1

∆) + N2. The recommendation is the average of measurements reported by Izod and Wayne [566], Stuhl 

and Welge [1130], Filseth et al. [390], Martin et al. [788], Kohse-Höinghaus and Stuhl [646], Choo and Leu 

[229], Wildt et al. [1306], and Shi and Barker [1057]. Less direct measurements reported by Noxon [901], 

Myers and O'Brien [843], and Chatha et al. [214] are consistent with the recommendation. Kohse-Höinghaus 

and Stuhl observed no significant temperature dependence over the range 203–349 K. 

A67. O2(

1

∆) +CO2. The recommendation is the average of measurements reported by Filseth et al. [390], Davidson 

et al. [310], Avilés et al. [51], Muller and Houston [840], Choo and Leu [229], Wildt et al. [1306], and Shi 

and Barker [1057] at room temperature. The temperature dependence is from the work of Choo and Leu.

Muller and Houston and Singh and Setser [1075] give evidence that O2(

1

∆) is a product. Wildt et al. report 

that the yield of O2(

1

∆) ≥ 90%. 

B1. O + OH. The rate constant for O + OH is a fit to three temperature dependence studies:Westenberg et al. 

[1300], Lewis and Watson [727], and Howard and Smith [532]. This recommendation is consistent with 

earlier work near room temperature as reviewed by Lewis and Watson [727] and with the measurements of 

Brune et al. [160]. The ratio k(O + HO2)/k(O + OH) measured by Keyser [621] agrees with the rate constants 

recommended here. 

B2. O + HO2. The recommended values are based on the results of studies over a range of temperatures by Keyser 

[620] and Nicovich and Wine [871] and the room temperature studies of Sridharan et al. [1099], 

Ravishankara et al. [991], and Brune et al. [160]. Earlier studies by Hack et al. [467] and Burrows et al. 

[176,179] are not considered, because the OH + H2O2 reaction was important in these studies and the value 

used for its rate constant in their analyses has been shown to be in error. Data from Ravishankara et al. [991] 

at 298 K show no dependence on pressure between 10 and 500 torr N2. The ratio k(O + HO2)/k(O + OH) 

measured by Keyser [621] agrees with the rate constants recommended here. Sridharan et al. [1097] showed 

that the reaction products correspond to abstraction of an oxygen atom from HO2 by the O reactant. Keyser et 

al. [625] reported <1% O2(

1

∆) yield. 

B3. O + H2O2. There are two direct studies of the O + H2O2 reaction: Davis et al. [320] and Wine et al. [1316].

The recommended value is a fit to the combined data. Wine et al. suggest that the earlier measurements may 

be too high because of secondary chemistry. The A-factor for both data sets is quite low compared to similar 

atom-molecule reactions. An indirect measurement of the E/R by Roscoe [1006] is consistent with the 

recommendation. 

B4. H + O3. The recommendation is an average of the results of Lee et al. [693] and Keyser [616], which are in 

excellent agreement over the 200–400 K range. An earlier study by Clyne and Monkhouse [251] is in very 

good agreement on the T dependence in the range 300–560 K but lies about 60% below the recommended 

values. Although we have no reason not to believe the Clyne and Monkhouse values, we prefer the two 

studies that are in excellent agreement, especially since they were carried out over the T range of interest.

Results by Finlayson-Pitts and Kleindienst [397] agree well with the present recommendations.Reports of a 

channel forming HO2 + O (Finlayson-Pitts and Kleindienst [397]: ~25%, and Force and Wiesenfeld [406]: 

~40%) have been contradicted by other studies (Howard and Finlayson-Pitts [531]: <3%; Washida et al. 

[1280]: <6%; Finlayson-Pitts et al. [398]: <2%; and Dodonov et al. [357]: <0.3%). Secondary chemistry is 

believed to be responsible for the observed O-atoms in this system. Washida et al. [1281] measured a low 

limit (<0.1%) for the production of singlet molecular oxygen in the reaction H + O3. 

B5. H + HO2. There are five studies of this reaction: Hack et al. [471], Hack et al. [469], Thrush and Wilkinson 

[1171], Sridharan et al. [1099] and Keyser [623].Related early work and combustion studies are referenced 

in the Sridharan et al. paper. All five studies used discharge flow systems.It is difficult to obtain a direct 

measurement of the rate constant for this reaction because both reactants are radicals and the products OH 

and O are very reactive toward the HO2 reactant. The recommendation is based on the data of Sridharan et al. 

and Keyser because their measurements were the most direct and required the fewest corrections. The other 

measurements, (5.0±1.3) × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 by Thrush and Wilkinson [1171] and (4.65±1) × 10–11 by 

Hack et al. [469] are in reasonable agreement with the recommended value. Three of the studies reported the 

product channels:(a) 2OH, (b) H2O + O, and (c) H2 + O2. Hack et al. [471] ka/k = 0.69, kb/k = 0.02, and 

kc/k = 0.29; Sridharan et al. [1099] ka/k = 0.87±0.04, kb/k = 0.02±0.02, kc/k = 0.09±.045; and Keyser [623] 

ka/k = 0.90±0.04, kb/k = 0.02±0.02, and kc/k = 0.08±0.04. Hislop and Wayne [511], Keyser et al. [625], and 

Michelangeli et al. [825] reported on the yield of O2 (b1

Σ) formed in channel (c) as (2.8±1.3) × 10–4, 

<8 × 10–3, and <2.1 × 10–2 respectively of the total reactions. Keyser found the rate coefficient and product 

yields to be independent of temperature for 245 < T < 300 K. 

B6. OH + O3.Recommended values are based on the results of studies over a range of temperatures by Anderson 

and Kaufman [23], Ravishankara et al. [990], Smith et al. [1091] and Nizkorodov et al. [895] and the room 
1-37

temperature measurements of Kurylo [660], Zahniser and Howard [1353], and Kulcke et al. [655]. The 

recommended E/R and k(298 K) values are based on averages of the individual E/R and k(298 K) values 

obtained in the above-mentioned studies. The values reported by Kulcke et al. [655] and Nizkorodov et al. 

[899] have been corrected for a minor contribution from k(HO2 + O3). 

B7. OH + H2. The OH + H2 reaction has been the subject of numerous studies (see Ravishankara et al. [983] for a 

review of experimental and theoretical work). The recommendation is fixed to the average of nine studies at 

298 K: Greiner [457], Stuhl and Niki [1129], Westenberg and de Haas [1298], Smith and Zellner [1093], 

Atkinson et al. [43], Overend et al. [923], Tully and Ravishankara [1198], Zellner and Steinert [1360], and 

Ravishankara et al. [983].Results reported by Talukdar et al. [1153] are in excellent agreement. 

B8. OH + HD. The recommendation is based on direct measurements made by Talukdar et al. [1153] using 

pulsed photolysis-laser induced fluorescence over the temperature range 248–418 K. The recommendation is 

in excellent agreement with the ratio k(OH + H2)/k(OH + HD) = 1.65±0.05 at 298 K reported by Ehhalt et al. 

[375] when combined with the recommended k(OH + H2). 

B9. OH + OH. The recommendation for the OH + OH reaction is the average of six measurements near 298 K:

Westenberg and de Haas [1297], McKenzie et al. [796], Clyne and Down [240], Trainor and von Rosenberg 

[1185], Farquharson and Smith [384], and Wagner and Zellner [1239]. The rate constants for these studies all 

fall between (1.4 and 2.3) × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1. The temperature dependence is from Wagner and 

Zellner, who reported rate constants for the range T = 250–580 K. 

B10. OH + HO2. A study by Keyser [624] appears to resolve a discrepancy among low-pressure discharge flow 

experiments that all gave rate coefficients near 7 × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 : Keyser [619], Thrush and 

Wilkinson [1170], Sridharan et al. [1098,1100], Temps and Wagner [1160], and Rozenshtein et al. [1010], 

and atmospheric pressure studies that gave rate coefficients near 11 × 10–11: Lii et al. [735], Hochanadel et al. 

[517], DeMore [329], Cox et al. [278], Burrows et al. [178], and Kurylo et al. [666]. Laboratory 

measurements using a discharge flow experiment and a chemical model analysis of the results by Keyser 

[624] demonstrate that the previous discharge flow measurements were probably subject to interference from 

small amounts of O and H.In the presence of excess HO2 these atoms generate OH and result in a rate 

coefficient measurement that falls below the true value. 

The temperature dependence is from Keyser [624], who covered the range 254 to 382 K. A flow tube study 

by Schwab et al. [1043] reported k = (8.0 +3/–4) × 10–11. These workers measured the concentrations of HO2, 

OH, O, and H and used a computer model of the relevant reactions to test for interference. A flow tube study 

by Dransfeld and Wagner [365] employing an isotope labelled 18OH reactant obtained k = (11±2) × 10–11 in 

good agreement with the recommendation. They attributed about half of the reactive events to isotope 

scrambling because control experiments with 16OH gave k = 6 × 10–11.It should be noted that their control 

experiments were subject to the errors described by Keyser [624] due to the presence of small amounts of H 

and O, whereas their 18OH measurements were not. Kurylo et al. [666] found no evidence of significant 

scrambling in isotope studies of the OH and HO2 reaction. An additional careful study of the reaction 

temperature dependence would be useful. Hippler and Troe [509] have analysed data for this reaction at 

temperatures up to 1250 K.In summary, this has historically been a difficult reaction to study.Earlier 

problems appear to have been resolved, as discussed above, and results now tend to converge on a central 

value, but the recommended value is still subject to a large uncertainty. 

B11. OH + H2O2. The recommendation is a fit to the temperature dependence studies of Keyser [618], Sridharan 

et al. [1101], Wine et al. [1320], Kurylo et al. [670], and Vaghjiani et al. [1224]. The data from these studies 

have been revised to account for the H2O2 UV absorption cross section recommendations in this evaluation.

The first two references contain a discussion of some possible reasons for the discrepancies with earlier work 

and an assessment of the impact of the new value on other kinetic studies. All of these measurements agree 

quite well and overlap one another. Measurements by Lamb et al. [676] agree at room temperature but 

indicate a quite different temperature dependence with k increasing slightly with decreasing temperature.

Their data were not incorporated in the fit. Measurements at room temperature by Marinelli and Johnston 

[781] and Turnipseed et al. [1208] agree well with the recommendation. Hippler and Troe [509] have 

analysed data for this reaction at temperatures up to 1250 K. 

B12. HO2 + O3. The recommended values are based on results of studies over a range of temperatures by DeMore 

[327] at 231 to 334 K, Zahniser and Howard [1353] at 245 to 365 K, Manzanares et al. [772] at 298 K, Sinha 

et al. [1084] at 243 to 413 K, Wang et al. [1275] at 233 to 400 K and Herndon et al. [501] at 200 to 298 K.

The data of Simonaitis and Heicklen [1069] and DeMore and Tschuikow-Roux [338] were not considered. 

The temperature dependence studies show varying degrees of curvature in the Arrhenius plots, with the E/R 

decreasing at lower temperature. This is especially evident in the low temperature data of Herndon et al 
1-38

where a number of measures were taken to control potential kinetic complications. The recommended E/R 

and k(298 K) values are based on averages of the individual E/R and k(298 K) values. Furthermore, only data 

at temperatures less than 298 K were used for the E/R determination, accordingly the recommendation is not 

valid for T>298 K. Additional temperature dependence data are needed for this reaction over a larger range to 

more fully characterize the non-linear behavior of the rate constant. The mechanism of the reaction has been 

studied using 18O labelled HO2 by Sinha et al. [1084], who reported that the reaction occurs 75±10% via H 

atom transfer at 297 K and by Nelson and Zahniser [851], who reported branching ratios for H transfer vs O 

transfer over the range 226–355 K. They report that the H atom transfer decreases from 94±5% at 226±11 K 

to 88±5% at 355±8 K. 

B13. HO2 + HO2. Two separate expressions are given for the rate constant for the HO2 + HO2 reaction. The 

effective rate constant is given by the sum of these two equations. This reaction has been shown to have a 

pressure-independent bimolecular component and a pressure-dependent termolecular component.Both 

components have negative temperature coefficients. The bimolecular expression is obtained from data of Cox 

and Burrows [277], Thrush and Tyndall [1167,1168], Kircher and Sander [627], Takacs and Howard 

[1144,1145], Sander [1016] and Kurylo et al. [672]. Data of Rozenshtein et al. [1010] are consistent with the 

low pressure recommendation, but they report no change in k with pressure up to 1 atm.Results of Thrush 

and Wilkinson [1169] and Dobis and Benson [355] are inconsistent with the recommendation. The 

termolecular expression is obtained from data of Sander et al. [1021], Simonaitis and Heicklen [1071], and 

Kurylo et al. [672] at room temperature and Kircher and Sander [627] for the temperature dependence. This 

equation applies to M = air. On this reaction system there is general agreement among investigators on the 

following aspects of the reaction at high pressure (P ~1 atm):(a) the HO2 UV absorption cross section:

Paukert and Johnston [934], Cox and Burrows [277], Hochanadel et al. [517], Sander et al. [1021], Kurylo et 

al. [673], and Crowley et al. [295]; (b) the rate constant at 300K: Paukert and Johnston [934], Hamilton and 

Lii [476], Cox and Burrows [277], Lii et al. [734], Tsuchiya and Nakamura [1190], Sander et al. [1021], 

Simonaitis and Heicklen [1071], Kurylo et al. [672], Andersson et al. [27], and Crowley et al. [295] (all 

values fall in the range (2.5 to 4.7) × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1); (c) the rate constant temperature dependence:

Cox and Burrows [277], Lii et al. [734], and Kircher and Sander [627]; (d) the rate constant water vapor 

dependence: Hamilton [475], Hochanadel et al. [516], Hamilton and Lii [476], Cox and Burrows [277], 

DeMore [327], Lii et al. [736], Sander et al. [1021], and Andersson et al. [27]; (e) the H/D isotope effect:

Hamilton and Lii [476] and Sander et al. [1021]; and (f) the formation H2O2 + O2 as the major products at 

300 K: Su et al. [1133], Niki et al. [887], Sander et al. [1021], and Simonaitis and Heicklen [1071].

Sahetchian et al. [1014,1015] give evidence for the formation of a small amount of H2 (~10%) at 

temperatures near 500 K, but Baldwin et al. [58] and Ingold [560] give evidence that the yield must be much 

less. Glinski and Birks [445] report an upper limit of 1% H2 yield at a total pressure of about 50 torr and 298 

K, but their experiment may have interference from wall reactions. A smaller limit to H2 production (0.01%) 

was later determined in the same laboratory (Stephens et al. [1112]). For systems containing water vapor, the 

multiplicative factor given by Lii et al. [736] and Kircher and Sander [627] can be used: 1 + 1.4 × 10–21 [H2O] 

exp(2200/T). Lightfoot et al. [732] reported atmospheric pressure measurements over the temperature range 

298–777 K that are in agreement with the recommended value at room temperature but indicate an upward 

curvature in the Arrhenius plot at elevated temperature. A high temperature study by Hippler et al. [510] 

confirms the strong curvature. 

C1. O + NO2. The recommended values are based on the results of studies over a range of temperatures by 

Gierczak et al. [428], Ongstad and Birks [909], Slanger et al. [1089] and Geers-Muller and Stuhl [425] and 

the room temperature study of Paulson et al. [935].In the most recent study of Gierczak et al. [428], special 

emphasis was placed on accurate measurement of the NO2 concentration and on measurements at low 

temperatures. The results of earlier studies by Davis et al. [315] and Bemand et al. [110] were not used in 

deriving the recommended values either because of possible complications from decomposition of NO2 at 

higher temperatures or lack of direct NO2 detection. 

C2. O + NO3.Based on the study of Graham and Johnston [451] at 298 K and 329 K. While limited in 

temperature range, the data indicate no temperature dependence. Furthermore, by analogy with the reaction of 

O with NO2, it is assumed that this rate constant is independent of temperature.Clearly, temperaturedependence studies are needed. 

C3. O + N2O5.Based on Kaiser and Japar [600]. 

C4. O + HNO3. The upper limit reported by Chapman and Wayne [212] is accepted. 

C5. O + HO2NO2. The recommended value is based on the study of Chang et al. [211]. The large uncertainty in 

E/R and k at 298 K are due to the fact that the recommendation is based on a single study. 
1-39

C6. H + NO2. The recommended value of k298 is derived from the studies of Wagner et al. [1241], Bemand and 

Clyne [108], Clyne and Monkhouse [251], Michael et al. [820] and Ko and Fontijn [644]. The temperature 

dependence is from the studies of Wagner et al. and Ko and Fontijn. The data from Wategaonkar and Setser 

[1284] and Agrawalla et al. [14] were not considered. 

C7. OH + NO3. The recommendation is derived from an average of the results of Boodaghians et al. [137], 

Mellouki et al. [806], Becker et al. [91] and Mellouki et al. [809]. There are no temperature dependence data. 

The reaction products are probably HO2 + NO2. 

C8. OH + HONO. The recommended rate expression is derived from the work of Jenkin and Cox [577], which 

supersedes the earlier room temperature study of Cox et al. [284].Recent results from the Ravishankara 

group [173] suggest that the reaction may have a small negative temperature dependence. 

C9. OH + HNO3. The recent study of Brown et al. [159] furnishes the most comprehensive set of rate 

measurements for N2 as the bath gas over a significant range of temperature (200–350 K) and pressure (20–

500 torr). They analyzed their results in terms of the mechanism proposed by Smith et al. [1091], involving 

the formation of a bound, relatively long-lived HO·HNO3 complex, as well as the direct reaction channel.

Studies of the effects of isotopic substitution on the reactions OD+DNO3, OH+DNO3, OD+HNO3 and 18OH+HNO3. by Brown et al. [158] support this mechanism and suggest that the structure of the intermediate 

consists of a H-bonded six-membered ring. Thus, the P dependence can be represented by combining a low 

pressure (bimolecular) limit, k0, with a Lindemann-Hinshelwood expression for the p-dependence:

 =     =    =  

The coefficients k3 and k2 are the termolecular and high pressure limits for the “association” channel. The 

value of k at high pressures is the sum k0 + k2. 

This expression for k([M],T) and the values of the Arrhenius parameters for k0, k2, and k3 derived by Brown 

et al. [159] for N2 as the bath gas constitute the recommended values for this rate coefficient. These 

recommended values are derived from a fit to the data of Brown et al. [159], Stachnik et al. [1103], Devolder 

et al. [343] and Margitan and Watson [776]. 

The reaction yield of NO3 (per OH removed) is assumed to be unity at all temperatures for either reaction 

channel. These assumptions are supported by the isotopic studies of Brown et al. [158] and the theoretical 

calculations of Xia and Lin [1338]. 

C10. OH + HO2NO2. The recommendation for both k at 298 K and the Arrhenius expression is based upon the data 

of Trevor et al. [1186], Barnes et al. [64], C. A. Smith et al. [1091] and Barnes et al. [66]. Trevor et al. 

studied this reaction over the temperature range 246–324 K and reported a temperature invariant value of 

4.0 × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1, although a weighted least squares fit to their data yields an Arrhenius 

expression with an E/R value of (193±193) K.In contrast, Smith et al. studied the reaction over the 

temperature range 240–300 K and observed a negative temperature dependence with an E/R value of 

–(650±30) K. The early Barnes et al. study [64] was carried out only at room temperature and 1 torr total 

pressure while their later study was performed in the pressure range 1–300 torr N2 and temperature range 

268–295 K with no rate constant variation being observed.In addition, k298 derived in Barnes et al. [64] was 

revised upward in the later study from 4.1 × 10–12 to 5.0 × 10–12 due to a change in the rate constant for the 

reference reaction. The values of k at 298 K from the four studies are in excellent agreement. An unweighted 

least squares fit to the data from the above-mentioned studies yields the recommended Arrhenius expression.

The less precise value for k at 298 K reported by Littlejohn and Johnston [747] is in fair agreement with the 

recommended value. The error limits on the recommended E/R are sufficient to encompass the results of both 

Trevor et al. and Smith et al.It should be noted that the values of k at 220 K deduced from the two studies 

differ by a factor of 2.Clearly, additional studies of k as a function of temperature and the identification of 

the reaction products are needed. 

C11. OH + NH3. The recommended value at 298 K is the average of the values reported by Stuhl [1125], Smith 

and Zellner [1094], Perry et al. [943], Silver and Kolb [1061], Stephens [1111] and Diau et al. [346]. The 

values reported by Pagsberg et al. [925] and Cox et al. [283] were not considered because these studies 

involved the analysis of a complex mechanism and the results are well outside the error limits implied by the 

above six direct studies. The results of Kurylo [660] and Hack et al. [465] were not considered because of 

their large discrepancies with the other direct studies (factors of 3.9 and 1.6 at room temperature, 

respectively).Because the Arrhenius plot displays considerable curvature, the temperature dependence is 
1-40

based only on the data below 300 K, i.e., the studies of Smith and Zellner [1094] and Diau et al. [346], and 

the A-factor has been selected to fit the recommended room temperature value. 

C12. HO2 +NO. The recommendation for HO2 + NO is based on the average of eight measurements of the rate 

constant at room temperature and below: Howard and Evenson [530], Leu [713], Howard [527], GlaschickSchimpf et al. [440], Hack et al. [468], Thrush and Wilkinson [1170] and Jemi-Alade Thrush [574], and 

Seeley et al. [1047]. All of these are in quite good agreement. The results of Imamura and Washida [559] 

were not considered due to the relatively large uncertainty limits reported in this study. An earlier study, 

Burrows et al. [176] has been disregarded because of an error in the reference rate constant, k(OH + H2O2).

The room temperature study of Rozenshtein et al. [1010] has also been disregarded due to an inadequate 

treatment of possible secondary reactions. The recommended Arrhenius parameters are obtained from a fit to 

all the data. The recommended value of k(298 K) is obtained from the Arrhenius line. 

C13. HO2 + NO2 . Tyndall et al. [1212] obtained an upper limit to the rate coefficient of 5 × 10–16 cm3 molecule–1

s

–1 based on static photolysis experiments with FTIR analysis at 296 K and 760 torr of N2. 

C14. HO2 + NO3. The recommendation for k298 is based on a weighted average of the data of Hall et al. [473], 

Mellouki et al. [806], Becker et al. [91] and Mellouki et al. [809]. There are insufficient data on which to 

base the temperature dependence of the rate coefficient. The measured branching ratios for the OH + NO2 + 

O2 channel range from 0.57 to 1.0. The most direct measurement is derived from the study of Mellouki et al. 

[809], which obtained a value of 1.0 +0.0/–0.3 at 298 K. 

C15. HO2 + NH2. There is a fairly good agreement on the value of k at 298 K between the direct study of 

Kurasawa and Lesclaux [659] and the relative studies of Cheskis and Sarkisov [225] and Pagsberg et al. 

[925]. The recommended value is the average of the values reported in these three studies. The identity of the 

products is not known; however, Kurasawa and Lesclaux suggest that the most probable reaction channels 

give either NH3 + O2 or HNO + H2O as products. 

C16. N + O2. The recommended expression is derived from a least squares fit to the data of Kistiakowsky and 

Volpi [629], Wilson [1310], Becker et al. [93], Westenberg et al. [1301], Clark and Wayne [233], Winkler et 

al. [1328] and Barnett et al. [74]. k(298 K) is derived from the Arrhenius expression and is in excellent 

agreement with the average of all of the room temperature determinations. 

C17. N + O3. The recommendation is based on the results of Barnett et al. [74]. The value of (1.0±0.2) × 10–16 cm3

molecule–1 s–1 reported by Barnett et al. should probably be considered an upper limit rather than a 

determination. The low values reported by Barnett et al., Stief et al. [1121] and Garvin and Broida [423] cast 

doubt on the much faster rates reported by Phillips and Schiff [948], and Chen and Taylor [221]. 

C18. N + NO. The recommended temperature dependence is based on the discharge flow-resonance fluorescence 

studies of Wennberg and Anderson [1293], and the discharge flow-resonance fluorescence and flash 

photolysis-resonance fluorescence studies of Lee et al. [695]. There is relatively poor agreement between 

these studies and the results of Clyne and McDermid [248], Kistiakowsky and Volpi [630], Herron [502], 

Phillips and Schiff [948], Lin et al. [741], Ishikawa et al. [563], Sugawara et al. [1134], Cheah and Clyne 

[215], Husain and Slater [549], Clyne and Ono [255], Brunning and Clyne [161] and Jeoung et al. [587]. 

C19. N + NO2. The recommendation for k298 is from the discharge flow-resonance fluorescence study of Wennberg 

and Anderson [1293]. The latter study had significantly better sensitivity for N(4

S) than the discharge flowresonance fluorescence study of Clyne and Ono [255], which obtained a value about four times smaller. The 

results of Husain and Slater [549] and Clyne and McDermid [248] are not considered. The temperature 

dependence is obtained from the study of Wennberg and Anderson. In the latter study, atomic oxygen was 

shown to be the principal reaction product, in agreement with Clyne and McDermid. A recent study by Iwata 

et al. [564] suggested an upper limit of 3.3 × 10–13 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 for the corresponding reaction 

involving N(2

D) and N(2P) atoms (sum of all reaction channels). 

C20. NO + O3. The recommended values are based on the results of studies over a range of temperatures by Birks 

et al. [129], Lippmann et al. [743], Ray and Watson [997], Michael et al. [814], Borders and Birks [139] and 

Moonen et al. [833] and the room temperature studies of Stedman and Niki [1105] and Bemand et al. [110].

The six temperature-dependent studies were given equal weighting in the recommendation by averaging over 

the E/R’s from each individual data set. Following the Moonen et al. recommendation, the 200-K data point 

from their study has been excluded from the fit. All of the temperature dependence studies show some 

curvature in the Arrhenius plot at temperatures below 298 K. Increasing scatter between the data sets is 

evident at the lower temperatures. Clough and Thrush [236], Birks et al., Schurath et al. [1042], and Michael 

et al. have reported individual Arrhenius parameters for the two primary reaction channels producing ground 

and excited molecular oxygen. 
1-41

C21. NO + NO3. The recommendation is based on the studies of Hammer et al. [477], Sander and Kircher [1020] 

and Tyndall et al. [1213], which are in excellent agreement. 

C22. NO2 + O3. The recommended expression is derived from a least squares fit to the data of Davis et al. [318], 

Graham and Johnston [450], Huie and Herron [543], and Cox and Coker [279]. The data of Verhees and 

Adema [1228] and Stedman and Niki [1105] were not considered because of systematic discrepancies with 

the other studies. 

C23. NO2 + NO3. The existence of the reaction channel forming NO + NO2 + O2 has not been firmly established.

However, studies of N2O5 thermal decomposition that monitor NO2 (Daniels and Johnston [304]; Johnston 

and Tao [591]; Cantrell et al. [196]) and NO (Hjorth et al. [512], and Cantrell et al. [199]) require reaction(s) 

that decompose NO3 into NO + O2. The rate constant from the first three studies is obtained from the product 

kKeq, where Keq is the equilibrium constant for NO2 + NO3 → N2O5, while for the latter two studies the rate 

constant is obtained from the ratio k/k(NO + NO3), where k(NO + NO3) is the rate constant for the reaction 

NO + NO3 → 2NO2. Using Keq and k(NO + NO3) from this evaluation, the rate expression that best fits the 

data from all five studies is 4.5 × 10–14 exp (–1260/T) cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 with an overall uncertainty factor of 

2. 

C24. NO3 + NO3. . The recommendation for k(298 K) is from the studies of Graham and Johnston [451] and Biggs 

et al. [123]. The temperature dependence is from Graham and Johnston.

C25. NH2 + O2. This reaction has several product channels which are energetically possible, including NO + H2O 

and HNO + OH. With the exception of the studies of Hack et al. [464] and Jayanty et al. [572] and several 

studies at high temperature, there is no evidence for a reaction. The following upper limits have been 

measured (cm3

 molecule–1 s–1): 3 × 10–18 (Lesclaux and Demissy [708]), 8 × 10–15 (Pagsberg et al. [925]), 

1.5 × 10–17 (Cheskis and Sarkisov [225]), 3 × 10–18 (Lozovsky et al. [760]), 1 × 10–17 (Patrick and Golden 

[933]) and 7.7 × 10–18 (Michael et al. [816]) and 6 × 10–21 (Tyndall et al. [1215]). The recommendation is 

based on the study of Tyndall et al., which was sensitive to reaction paths leading to the products NO, NO2

and N2O. The reaction forming NH2O2 cannot be ruled out, but is apparently not important in the atmosphere. 

C26. NH2 + O3. There is poor agreement among the recent studies of Cheskis et al. [224], k(298) = 1.5 × 10–13 cm3

s

–1, Patrick and Golden [933], k(298 K) = 3.25 × 10–13 cm3

 s–1, Hack et al. [463], 1.84 × 10–13 cm3 s–1, Bulatov 

et al. [166], 1.2 × 10–13 cm3

 s–1, and Kurasawa and Lesclaux [658], 0.63 × 10–13 cm3 s–1. The very low value 

of Kurasawa and Lesclaux may be due to regeneration of NH2 from secondary reactions (see Patrick and 

Golden), and it is disregarded here. The discharge flow value of Hack et al. is nearly a factor of two less than 

the recent Patrick and Golden flash photolysis value. The large discrepancy between Bulatov et al. and 

Patrick and Golden eludes explanation. The recommendation is the k(298 K) average of these four studies, 

and E/R is an average of Patrick and Golden (1151 K) with Hack et al. (710 K). 

C27. NH2 + NO. The recommended value for k at 298 K is the average of the values reported by Lesclaux et al. 

[710], Hancock et al. [478], Sarkisov et al. [1028], Stief et al. [1119], Andresen et al. [28] Whyte and Phillips 

[1302], Dreier and Wolfrum [367], Atakan et al. [33], Wolf et al. [1329], Diau et al. [344] and Imamura and 

Washida [559]. The results of Gordon et al. [447], Gehring et al. [426], Hack et al. [470] and Silver and Kolb 

[1062] were not considered because they lie at least 2 standard deviations from the average of the previous 

group. The results tend to separate into two groups. The flash photolysis results average 1.8 × 10–11 cm3

molecule–1 s–1 (except for the pulse radiolysis study of Gordon et al.), while those obtained using the 

discharge flow technique average 0.9 × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1. The apparent discrepancy cannot be due 

simply to a pressure effect as the pressure ranges of the flash photolysis and discharge flow studies 

overlapped and none of the studies observed a pressure dependence for k. Whyte and Phillips have suggested 

that the difference may be due to decomposition of the adduct NH2NO, which occurs on the timescale of the 

flow experiments, but not the flash experiments. There have been many studies of the temperature 

dependence but most have investigated the regime of interest to combustion and only two have gone below 

room temperature (Hack et al. from 209–505 K and Stief et al. from 216–480 K. Each study reported k to 

decrease with increasing temperature The recommended temperature dependence is taken from a fit of to the 

Stief et al. data at room temperature and below.The reaction proceeds along a complex potential energy 

surface, which results in product branching ratios that are strongly dependent on temperature. Ab initio

calculations by Walch [1244] show the existence of four saddle points in the potential surface leading to N2 + 

H2O without a reaction barrier. Elimination to form OH + HN2 can occur at any point along the surface. 

While results from early studies on the branching ratio for OH formation different significantly, the most 

recent studies (Hall et al., Dolson [359], Silver and Kolb [1065], Atakan et al., Stephens et al. [1110], Park 

and Lin [930]) agree on a value around 0.1 at 300 K, with N2+H2O making up the balance. 

C28. NH2 + NO2. There have been four studies of this reaction (Hack et al. [470]; Kurasawa and Lesclaux [657]; 

Whyte and Phillips [1302]; and Xiang et al. [1339]). There is very poor agreement among these studies both 
1-42

for k at 298 K (factor of 2.3) and for the temperature dependence of k (T–3.0 and T–1.3). The recommended 

values of k at 298 K and the temperature dependence of k are averages of the results reported in these four 

studies. Hack et al. have shown that the predominant reaction channel (>95%) produces N2O + H2O.Just as 

for the NH2 + NO reaction, the data for this reaction seem to indicate a factor of two discrepancy between 

flow and flash techniques, although the data base is much smaller. 

C29. NH + NO. The recommendation is derived from the room temperature results of Hansen et al. [481], Cox et 

al. [274] and Harrison et al. [483]. The temperature dependence is from Harrison et al. 

C30. NH + NO2. The recommendation is derived from the temperature-dependence study of Harrison et al. [483]. 

C31. O3 + HNO2.Based on Kaiser and Japar [599] and Streit et al. [1124]. 

C32. N2O5 + H2O. The recommended value at 298 K is based on the studies of Tuazon et al. [1193], Atkinson et al. 

[49] and Hjorth et al. [513]. Sverdrup et al. [1136] obtained an upper limit that is a factor of four smaller than 

that obtained in the other studies, but the higher upper limit is recommended because of the difficulty of 

distinguishing between homogeneous and heterogeneous processes in the experiment. See Table 59 for 

heterogeneous rate data for this reaction. 

C33. N2(A,v) + O2.Rate constants for the overall reaction for the v=0, 1 and 2 vibrational levels of N2(A) have 

been made by Dreyer et al. [368], Zipf [1374], Piper et al. [951], Iannuzzi and Kaufman [557], Thomas and 

Kaufman [1163] and De Sousa et al. [324]. The results of these studies are in relatively good agreement. The 

recommended values are (2.5±0.4), (4.0±0.6) and (4.5±0.6) (× 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1), from the work of De 

Sousa et al. The only temperature dependence data are from De Sousa et al., who obtained 

k(T,v)=k(v,298K)(T/300)0.55 for v=0,1,2. The observation of high N2O production initially reported by Zipf 

[1374] has not been reproduced by other groups, and the branching ratio for this channel is probably less than 

0.02 (Iannuzzi et al. [556], Black et al. [132], De Sousa et al. [324], Fraser and Piper [407]). The branching 

ratios for the other channels are poorly established, although there is strong evidence for the formation of 

both O(3

P) and O2(B3Σu

–

). 

C34. N2(A,v) + O3. The only study is that of Bohmer and Hack [136], who obtained 298 K rate constants of

4.1±1.0, 4.1±1.2, 8.0±2.3, and 10±3.0 (×10–11 cm3 molecule–1 s–1)for the v=0–3 vibrational levels of N2(A), 

respectively. This study determined that the NO channel accounts for about 20% of the reaction products. 

D1. O + CH3. The recommended k(298 K) is the weighted average of three measurements by Washida and Bayes 

[1282], Washida [1279], and Plumb and Ryan [956]. The E/R value is based on the results of Washida and 

Bayes [1282], who found k to be independent of temperature between 259 and 341 K. 

D2. O + HCN.Because it is a very slow reaction, there are no studies of this reaction below 450 K. Davies and 

Thrush [313] studied this reaction between 469 and 574 K while Perry and Melius [945] studied it between 

540 and 900 K.Results of Perry and Melius are in agreement with those of Davies and Thrush. Our 

recommendation is based on these two studies. The higher-temperature (T>1000 K) combustion-related 

studies Roth et al. [1007], Szekely et al. [1137], and Louge and Hanson [754]] have not been considered.

This reaction has two reaction pathways: O + HCN → H + NCO, ∆H = –2 kcal/mol (ka); and O + HCN →

CO + NH (kb), ∆H = –36 kcal/mol. The branching ratio ka/kb for these two channels has been measured to be 

~2 at T = 860 K. The branching ratio at lower temperatures, which is likely to vary significantly with 

temperature, is unknown. 

D3. O + C2H2. The value at 298 K is an average often measurements (Arrington et al. [31], Sullivan and Warneck 

[1135], Brown and Thrush [156], Hoyermann et al. [533,534], Westenberg and deHaas [1295], James and 

Glass [569], Stuhl and Niki [1128], Westenberg and deHaas [1299], and Aleksandrov et al. [16]). There is 

reasonably good agreement among these studies. Arrington et al. [31] did not observe a temperature 

dependence, an observation that was later shown to be erroneous by Westenberg and deHaas [1295].

Westenberg and deHaas [1295], Hoyermann et al. [534] and Aleksandrov et al. [16] are the only authors, 

who have measured the temperature dependence below 500 K. Westenberg and deHaas observed a curved 

Arrhenius plot at temperatures higher than 450 K.In the range 194–450 K, Arrhenius behavior provides an 

adequate description and the E/R obtained by a fit of the data from these three groups in this temperature 

range is recommended. The A-factor was calculated to reproduce k(298 K). This reaction can have two sets 

of products, i.e., C2HO + H or CH2 + CO. Under molecular beam conditions C2HO has been shown to be the 

major product. The study by Aleksandrov et al. using a discharge flow-resonance fluorescence method (under 

undefined pressure conditions) indicates that the C2HO + H channel contributes no more than 7% to the net 

reaction at 298 K, while a similar study by Vinckier et al. [1234] suggests that both CH2 and C2HO are 

formed. 
1-43

D4. O + H2CO. The recommended values for A, E/R and k(298 K) are the averages of those determined by 

Klemm [635] (250 to 498 K) using flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence, by Klemm et al. [636] (298 to 

748 K) using discharge flow-resonance fluorescence, and Chang and Barker [208] (296 to 436 K) using 

discharge flow-mass spectrometry techniques. All three studies are in good agreement. The k(298 K) value is 

also consistent with the results of Niki et al. [884], Herron and Penzhorn [504], and Mack and Thrush [762].

Although the mechanism for O + H2CO has been considered to be the abstraction reaction yielding OH + 

HCO, Chang and Barker suggest that an additional channel yielding H + HCO2 may be occurring to the 

extent of 30% of the total reaction. This conclusion is based on an observation of CO2 as a product of the 

reaction under conditions where reactions such as O + HCO → H + CO2 and O + HCO → OH + CO 

apparently do not occur. This interesting suggestion needs independent confirmation. 

D5. O + CH3CHO. The recommended k(298 K) is the average of three measurements by Cadle and Powers [185], 

Mack and Thrush [763], and Singleton et al. [1078], which are in good agreement.Cadle and Powers and 

Singleton et al. studied this reaction as a function of temperature between 298 and 475 K and obtained very 

similar Arrhenius parameters. The recommended E/R value was obtained by considering both sets of data.

This reaction is known to proceed via H-atom abstraction (Mack and Thrush [763], Avery and Cvetanovic 

[50], and Singleton et al. [1078]). 

D6. O3 + C2H2. The database for this reaction is not well established.Room temperature measurements (Cadle and 

Schadt [186]; DeMore [325]; DeMore [326]; Stedman and Niki [1106]; Pate et al. [932]; and Atkinson and 

Aschmann [34]) disagree by as much as an order of magnitude.It is probable that secondary reactions 

involving destruction of ozone by radical products resulted in erroneously high values for the rate constants 

in several of the previous measurements. The present recommendation for k(298 K) is based on the room 

temperature value of Atkinson and Aschmann [34], which is the lowest value obtained and therefore perhaps 

the most accurate. The temperature dependence is estimated, based on an assumed A-factor of 10–14 cm3

 s–1

similar to that for the O3 + C2H4 reaction and corresponding to the expected five-membered ring structure for 

the transition state (DeMore [325,326]). Further studies, particularly of the temperature dependence, are 

needed. Major products in the gas phase reaction are CO, CO2, and HCOOH, and chemically-activated 

formic anhydride has been proposed as an intermediate of the reaction (DeMore [326], and DeMore and Lin 

[336]). The anhydride intermediates in several alkyne ozonations have been isolated in low temperature 

solvent experiments (DeMore and Lin [336]). 

D7. O3 + C2H4. The rate constant of this reaction is well established over a large temperature range, 178 to 360 K.

Our recommendation is based on the data of DeMore [325], Stedman et al. [1107], Herron and Huie [503], 

Japar et al. [570,571], Toby et al. [1176], Su et al. [1132], Adeniji et al. [10], Kan et al. [606], Atkinson et al. 

[38], and Bahta et al. [55]. 

D8. O3 + C3H6. The rate constant of this reaction is well established over the temperature range 185 to 360 K. The 

present recommendation is based largely on the data of Herron and Huie [503], in the temperature range 235–

362 K.(Note that a typographical error in Table 2 of that paper improperly lists the lowest temperature as 250 

K, rather than the correct value, 235 K.) The recommended Arrhenius expression agrees within 25% with the 

low temperature (185–195 K) data of DeMore [325], and is consistent with, but slightly lower (about 40%) 

than the data of Adeniji et al. [10] in the temperature range 260–294 K. Room temperature measurements of 

Cox and Penkett [290], Stedman et al. [1107], Japar et al. [570,571], and Atkinson et al.[38] are in good 

agreement (10% or better) with the recommendation. 

D9. OH + CO. The recommendation allows for an increase in k with pressure. The zero pressure value was 

derived by averaging direct low pressure determinations (those listed in Baulch et al. [89]) and the values 

reported by Dreier and Wolfrum [366], Husain et al. [547], Ravishankara and Thompson [986], 

Paraskevopoulos and Irwin [927], Hofzumahaus and Stuhl [518]. The results of Jonah et al. [593] are too 

high and were not included. An increase in k with pressure has been observed by a large number of 

investigators (Overend and Paraskevopoulos [922], Perry et al. [944], Chan et al. [207], Biermann et al. 

[121], Cox et al. [284], Butler et al. [184], Paraskevopoulos and Irwin [926,927], DeMore [330], 

Hofzumahaus and Stuhl [518], Hynes et al. [554]).In addition, Niki et al. [892] have measured k relative to 

OH + C2H4 in one atmosphere of air by following CO2 production using FTIR. The recommended 298 K 

value was obtained by using a weighted nonlinear least squares analysis of all pressure-dependent data in N2

(Paraskevopoulos and Irwin [927], DeMore [330], Hofzumahaus and Stuhl [518], and Hynes et al. [554]) as 

well as those in air (Niki et al. [894], Hynes et al. [554]), to the form k = (A+BP)/(C+DP), where P is 

pressure in atmospheres. The data were best fit with D = 0 and therefore a linear form is recommended.

Previous controversy regarding the effect of small amounts of O2 (Biermann et al. [121]) has been resolved 

and is attributed to secondary reactions (DeMore [330], Hofzumahaus and Stuhl [518]). The results of Butler 

et al. [184] have to be re-evaluated in the light of refinements in the rate coefficient for the OH + H2O2

reaction. The corrected rate coefficient is in approximate agreement with the recommended value.Currently, 
1-44

there are no indications to suggest that the presence of O2 has any effect on the rate coefficient other than as a 

third body. The E/R value in the pressure range 50–760 torr has been shown to be essentially zero between 

220 and 298 K by Hynes et al. [554]. Further substantiation of the temperature independence of k at 1 atm. 

may be worthwhile.Beno et al. [111] observe an enhancement of k with water vapor, which is in conflict 

with the flash photolysis studies; e.g., Ravishankara and Thompson [986], Paraskevopoulos and Irwin [927], 

and Hynes et al. [554]. The uncertainty factor is for 1 atm. of air. 

The bimolecular channel yields H + CO2 while the addition leads to HOCO.In the presence of O2, the HOCO 

intermediate is converted to HO2 + CO2 (DeMore [330], Miyoshi et al. [827]). Miyoshi et al. report a rate 

constant for the reaction of HOCO with O2 of ~1.5 × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 at 298 K). Therefore, for 

atmospheric purposes, the products can be taken to be HO2 and CO2. 

D10. OH + CH4. This reaction has been extensively studied. The most recent data are from Vaghjiani and 

Ravishankara [1223], Saunders et al.[1030], Finlayson-Pitts et al.[396], Dunlop and Tully [370] , Mellouki et 

al. [812], and Gierczak et al. [434], who measured the absolute rate coefficients for this reaction using 

discharge flow and pulsed photolysis techniques. Sharkey and Smith [1056] have reported a high value (7.7 × 

10–15 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1)for k(298 K), and this value has not been considered here. The current 

recommendation for k(298 K) was derived from the results of Vaghjiani and Ravishankara, Dunlop and 

Tully, Saunders et al., Mellouki et al., Finlayson-Pitts et al., and Gierczak et al. The temperature dependence 

of this rate coefficient has been measured by Vaghjiani and Ravishankara (223–420 K), Dunlop and Tully 

(above 298 K), Finlayson-Pitts et al. (278–378 K), and Mellouki et al. (233–343 K). Gierczak et al have 

extended the measurements of k to 195 K, and it appears that the rate coefficient does not strictly follow an 

Arrhenius expression. The recommended E/R was obtained from these results using data below 300 K. A 

more accurate representation of the rate constant as a function of temperature is obtained by using the threeparameter expression: k = 2.80×10–14 T0.667 exp(–1575/T). This three-parameter fit may be preferred for lower 

stratosphere and upper troposphere calculations. 

D11. OH + 13CH4 . This reaction has been studied relative to the OH + CH4 reaction, since the ratio of the rate 

coefficientsis the quantity needed for quantifying methane sources.Rust and Stevens [1011], Davidson et al. 

[308], and Cantrell et al. [200] have measured k12/k13 at 298 K to be 1.003, 1.010, and 1.0055, respectively.

Cantrell et al.'s data supersede the results of Davidson et al. The recommended value of 1.005 ± 0.002 is 

based on the results of Rust and Stevens and Cantrell et al.Cantrell et al. find k12/k13 to be independent of 

temperature between 273 and 353 K. 

D12. OH + CH3D. The rate coefficient for this reaction has been measured between 249 and 422 K using a pulsed 

laser photolysis-laser induced fluorescence system by Gierczak et al. [433]. The recommended values of k 

(298 K) and E/R are from this study. The recommendation agrees within about 10% at 298 K with the rate 

constant measured by DeMore [334] in a relative rate study over the temperature range 298 – 360 K. The 

difference, while small in an absolute sense, is nevertheless significant for the isotopic fractionation of 

atmospheric CH3D and CH4 by OH. An earlier result of Gordon and Mulac at 416 K [448] is in good 

agreement with the extrapolated data of both of these determinations. However, that measurement has not 

been explicitly included in this recommendation because the experiments were carried out at higher 

temperatures and therefore are less applicable to the atmosphere. The rate coefficients for the reactions of OH 

with other deuterated methanes have also been measured.(Dunlop and Tully [370], Gierczak et al. [1153], 

Gordon and Mulac [448]). 

D13. OH + H2CO. The value for k(298 K) is the average of those determined by Niki et al. [893], Atkinson and 

Pitts [46], Stief et al. [1120], Yetter et al. [1345], and Temps and Wagner [1161]. The value reported by 

Morris and Niki [836] agrees within the stated uncertainty. There are two relative values that are not in 

agreement with the recommendations. The value of Niki et al. [886] relative to OH + C2H4 is higher, while 

the value of Smith [1095] relative to OH + OH is lower. The latter data are also at variance with the 

negligible temperature dependence observed in the two flash photolysis studies. The later report of Niki et al. 

[893] is assumed to supersede the earlier rate constant. The rate coefficient reported by Zabarnick et al. 

[1348] at and above 298 K are consistently higher than the average value recommended here, but overlap 

within the combined uncertainty. The combined data set suggests E/R = 0, although a slight negative 

temperature dependence cannot be ruled out The abstraction reaction shown in the table is the major channel 

(Temps and Wagner [1161], Niki et al. [892]); other channels may contribute to a small extent (Horowitz et 

al. [525]). 

D14. OH + CH3OH. The recommended value for k(298 K) is the average of seven direct studies (Overend and 

Paraskevopoulos [921], Ravishankara and Davis [979], Hagele et al. [472], Meier et al. [800], Greenhill and 

O'Grady [456], Wallington and Kurylo [1264], and Hess and Tully [506]). When these measurements were 

not at exactly 298 K, their values have been recalculated for 298 K by using the E/R recommended here.
1-45

Indirect measurements by Campbell et al. [190], Barnes et al. [65], Tuazon et al. [1194] and Klopffer et al. 

[638] are in good agreement with the recommended value. The temperature dependence of k has been 

measured by Hagele et al., Meier et al., Greenhill and O'Grady, Wallington and Kurylo, and Hess and Tully.

The recommended value of E/R was calculated using the results obtained in the temperature range of 240 to 

400 K by Greenhill and O'Grady [456], Wallington and Kurylo [1264], Hess and Tully, Meier et al., and 

Haegle et al. Hess and Tully report a curved Arrhenius plot over the temperature range 298 – 1000 K, while 

Meier et al. do not observe such a curvature. This reaction has two pathways: abstraction of the H-atom from 

the methyl group to give CH2OH + H2O or from the OH group to give CH3O + H2O. The results of Hagele et 

al., Meier et al., and Hess and Tully suggest that H abstraction from the methyl group to give CH2OH + H2O 

is the dominant channel below room temperature. At 298 K, for example, the branching ratio for the 

formation of CH2OH is about 0.85 and increases as the temperature decreases.In the Earth's atmosphere, the 

eventual products of OH + CH3OH reaction are the same: CH2O and HO2. 

D15. OH + CH3OOH. The recommended value for k(298 K) is the average of the rate coefficients measured by 

Niki et al. [891] and Vaghjiani and Ravishankara [1222], which differ by nearly a factor of two. Niki et al. 

measured the rate coefficient relative to that for OH with C2H4 (= 8.0 × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1) by 

monitoring CH3OOH disappearance using an FTIR system. Vaghjiani and Ravishankara monitored the 

disappearance of OH, OD, and 18OH in excess CH3OOH in a pulsed photolysis-LIF system. They measured k 

between 203 and 423 K and report a negative activation energy with E/R = –190 K; the recommended E/R is 

based on their results. The reaction of OH with CH3OOH occurs via abstraction of H from the oxygen end to 

produce the CH3OO radical and from the CH3 group to produce the CH2OOH radical, as originally proposed 

by Niki et al. and confirmed by Vaghjiani and Ravishankara.CH2OOH is unstable and falls apart to CH2O 

and OH within a few microseconds. The possible reaction of CH2OOH with O2 is unimportant under 

atmospheric conditions (Vaghjiani and Ravishankara). The recommended branching ratios are, 

 OH + CH3OOH → CH3O2 + H2O (a) 70% 

 OH + CH3OOH → CH2OOH + H2O (b) 30%, 

(from Vaghjiani and Ravishankara) and are nearly independent of temperature. 

D16. OH + HC(O)OH. The recommended value of k(298 K) is the average of those measured by Zetzsch and Stuhl 

[1363], Wine et al. [1311], Jolly et al. [592], Dagaut et al. [303], and Singleton et al. [1083]. The temperature 

dependence of k has been studied by Wine et al. and by Singleton et al., who observed k to be essentially 

independent of T. 

Wine et al. found the rate coefficient for the OH + HC(O)OH reaction to be the same as that for OH + 

DC(O)OH reaction.Jolly et al. found the formic acid dimer to be unreactive toward OH, i.e., abstraction of 

the H atom attached to C was not the major pathway forthe reaction. A comprehensive study of Singleton et 

al. showed that reactivity of HC(O)OH is essentially the same as that of DC(O)OH, but DC(O)OD reacts 

much slower than HC(O)OH and DC(O)OH. These observations show that the reaction proceeds via 

abstraction of the acidic H atom.Wine et al. and Jolly et al. also found that H atoms are produced in the 

reaction, which is consistent with the formation of HC(O)O, which would rapidly fall apart to CO2 and H.

End product studies are also consistent with the formation of CO2 and H2O in this reaction (Singleton et al. 

[1083]). The products of this reaction would be mostly HC(O)O and H2O. The fate of HC(O)O in the 

atmosphere will be to give HO2 either directly via reaction with O2 or via thermal decomposition to H atom, 

which adds to O2. 

Wine et al. have suggested that, in the atmosphere, the formic acid could be hydrogen bonded to a water 

molecule and its reactivity with OH could be lowered because the hydrogen bonded water would obstruct the 

abstraction of the H atom. This suggestion needs to be checked. 

D17. OH + HCN. This reaction is pressure dependent. The recommended value is the high pressure limit measured 

by Fritz et al. [414] using a laser photolysis-resonance fluorescence apparatus. Phillips [947] studied this 

reaction using a discharge flow apparatus at low pressures and found the rate coefficient to have reached the 

high pressure limit at ~10 torr at 298 K. Fritz et al.’s results contradict this finding. They agree with Phillip’s 

measured value, within a factor of two, at 7 torr, but they find k to increase further with pressure. The 

products of the reaction are unknown. 

D18. OH + C2H6. There are nineteen studies ofthis reaction at 298 K (Greiner [458], Howard and Evenson [529], 

Overend et al. [923], Lee and Tang [697], Leu [713], Tully et al. [1199], Jeong et al. [584], Tully et al. 

[1197], Nielsen et al. [879], Zabarnick et al. [1348], Wallington et al. [1266], Smith et al. [1091], Baulch et 

al. [88], Bourmada et al. [144], Abbatt et al. [2], Schiffman et al. [1033], Talukdar et al. [1155], Sharkey and 

Smith [1056] and Anderson and Stephens [24]). The recommended value is obtained by averaging the results 

of the recent investigations by Tully et al., Wallington et al., Abbatt et al., Schiffman et al., Talukdar et al. 
1-46

and Anderson and Stephens. The results of Sharkey and Smith are approximately 20% higher than those 

recommended here. When the measurements were not carried out at exactly 298 K, we have recalculated k 

using an E/R of 1070 K. The temperature dependence of the rate coefficient below 298 K has been measured 

only by Jeong et al., Wallington et al., Talukdar et al. and Anderson and Stephens. The last three studies are 

in good agreement. The recommended E/R is obtained from an analysis of the data of these three studies. The 

ratio of the rate coefficients for OH reactions with C2H6 and C3H8 has been measured by Finlayson-Pitts 

[396]. Our recommendations are in reasonable agreement with this ratio.Crowley et al. [294] have measured 

k at 247, 294, and 303 K, and the results are in agreement with the recommendations. 

D19. OH + C3H8. There are many measurements of the rate coefficients at 298 K.In this evaluation we have 

considered only the direct measurements (Greiner [458], Tully et al. [1199], Droege and Tully [369], Schmidt 

et al. [1037], Baulch et al. [88], Bradley et al. [147], Abbatt et al. [2], Schiffman et al. [1033], Talukdar et al. 

[1155], Anderson and Stephens [24] and Mellouki et al. [812]). The 298 K value is the average of these ten 

studies. Greiner, Tully et al. [1196], Droege and Tully, Talukdar et al. and Mellouki et al. have measured the 

temperature dependence of this reaction. The recommended E/R was obtained from a linear least squares 

analysis of the data of Droege and Tully below 400 K and the data of Talukdar et al., Anderson and Stephens, 

and Mellouki et al. The A-factor was adjusted to reproduce k(298 K). This reaction has two possible 

channels, i.e., abstraction of the primary and the secondary H-atom. Therefore, non-Arrhenius behavior is 

exhibited over a wide temperature range, as shown by Tully et al. and Droege and Tully. The branching ratios 

were estimated from the latter study:

 kprimary = 6.3 × 10–12 exp(–1050/T) cm3

 molecule–1 s–1

 ksecondary = 6.3 × 10–12 exp(–580/T) cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 

These numbers are in reasonable agreement with the older data of Greiner. The ratio of the rate coefficients 

for OH reactions with C2H6 and C3H8 has been measured by Finlayson-Pitts et al. [396]. Our 

recommendations are in reasonable agreement with this ratio. 

D20. OH + CH3CHO. There are six measurements of this rate coefficient at 298 K (Morris et al. [838], Niki et al. 

[886], Atkinson and Pitts [46], Kerr and Sheppard [613], Semmes et al. [1054], and Michael et al. [815]).The 

recommended value of k(298 K) is the average of these measurements. Atkinson and Pitts, Semmes et al., and 

Michael et al. measured the temperature dependence of this rate coefficient and found it to exhibit a negative 

temperature dependence. The recommended E/R is the average value of these studies. The A-factor has been 

adjusted to yield the recommended value of k(298 K). 

D21. OH + C2H5OH. The recommended value for k(298 K) is the average of those reported by Campbell et al. 

[190], Overend and Paraskevopoulos [921], Ravishankara and Davis [979], Cox and Goldstone [288], Kerr 

and Stocker [614], Wallington and Kurylo [1264], and Hess and Tully [505]. The value reported by Meier et 

al. is nearly a factor of two lower than that recommended here. The recommended value of E/R was obtained 

by using the data of Wallington and Kurylo, Hess and Tully, and Meier et al. The temperature dependent rate 

coefficient values of Meier et al. were assumed to have the same systematic error that , hence, would not be 

reflected in the derivation of the E/R value. The A-factor has been adjusted to yield the recommended value 

of k(298 K). This reaction has three possible product channels: (a) CH3CH2O + H2O, (b) CH3CHOH + H2O, 

and (c) CH2CH2OH+H2O. At atmospheric temperatures, channel (b) is the major pathway (Meier et al. [801], 

Hess and Tully [505]), accounting for more than 75% of the reaction. The branching ration for channel (b) is 

expected to increase with decreasing temperature, based on the work of Hess and Tully [505]. The 

CH3CHOH radical that is produced in channel (b) and CH3CH2O radical formed in channel (a) will both 

rapidly react with O2 leading to CH3CHO and HO2. However, the CH2CH2OH radical produced in channel 

(c) will lead to a different set of products in the atmosphere. The exact values for these reaction pathways 

under atmospheric temperatures have not been quantified. Extrapolations of the higher temperature data to 

atmospheric temperatures may not be valid. 

D22. OH + CH3C(O)OH. The recommended k(298K) is the average of the values obtained by Dagaut et al. [303] 

and Singleton et al. [1082]. The earlier results of Zetzsch and Stuhl [1363] are lower than these values, but 

within the uncertainty of the recommended value. The temperature dependence has been studied by Dagaut et 

al., who observe a very slight increase in k with temperature between 298 and 440 K and by Singleton et al., 

who observe a significant decrease with increase in temperature between 298 and 446 K. Further, Singleton 

et al. observe that the Arrhenius plot is curved. While Dagaut et al. observed that the acetic acid dimer reacts 

twice as fast as the monomer, Singleton et al. found the dimer to be essentially unreactive toward OH! The 

latter observations are consistent with the mechanism for the OH + HC(O)OH reaction, which is discussed in 

the note for that reaction.It is also consistent with the decrease in reactivity upon D substitution on the 

carboxylic site and no change upon substitution on the methyl group (Singleton et al. [1082]). Thus, there is 

some uncertainty as to the T dependence and the reaction mechanism. Here we recommend a slightly 
1-47

negative T dependence, based on an average of both temperature dependence studies but with an uncertainty 

that encompasses both the studies. The A factor and E/R suggest that this reaction may not be a simple 

metathesis reaction.Based on the analogy with OH + HC(O)OH reaction and the evidence of Singleton et al., 

the products are expected to be mostly CH3C(O)O + H2O.In the atmosphere, CH3C(O)O is expected to give 

CH3 + CO2. 

D23. OH + CH3C(O)CH3. The rate coefficient for this reaction has been measured at temperatures close to 298 K 

by Cox et al. [286], Zetzsch [1362], Chiorboli et al. [227], Kerr and Stocker [614], Wallington and Kurylo 

[1265], LeCalve et al. [690], Wollenhaupt et al. [1330], and Gierczak et al. [429]. Cox reported only an upper 

limit of <5 × 10–13 cm3

 molecule–1s

–1 , which is consistent with this recommendation.The primary aim of 

Chiorboli et al. was to examine the atmospheric degradation of styrene, which produces acetone. They 

employed a relative rate measurement and reported a value of k(298 K) that is almost three times faster than 

the recommended value.Because of possible complications in their system, we have not included their results 

in arriving at the recommended value. Wallington and Kurylo, LeCalve et al., Wollenhaupt et al. and 

Gierczak et al. have reported k as a function of temperature; all these studies directly measured the rate 

constant using the pulsed photolysis method where the temporal profile of OH was measured using resonance 

fluorescence or laser induced fluorescence. The extensive data of Wollenhaupt et al. and Gierczak et al. seem 

to show that this rate coefficient does not follow an Arrhenius expression.The results of LeCalve et al. and 

Wallington et al. are in general agreement with the results of Wollenhaupt et al. and Gierczak et al. The nonArrhenius behavior was not evident in the results of Wallington et al. and LeCalve et al. because they 

measured the rate constant at a few temperatures and did not explore temperature below 240 K, where the 

curvature becomes increasingly evident. The following recommendation reproduces all reported data, except 

that of Chiorboli et al. within the recommended uncertainty of 25% at all temperatures: 

 k(T) = 1.33 × 10–13 + 3.82 × 10–11exp(–2000/T) 

 This reaction can proceed via the abstraction of an H atom or via the formation of a complex that decomposes 

to give many different products, which include CH3 + CH3C(O)OH, CH3OH + CH3C(O), CH4 + CH3CO2, 

H2O + CH3C(O)CH2. The branching ratios for the formation of different sets of products will, most likely, 

vary with temperature. Wollenhaupt and Crowley (2000) have deduced that CH3 radicals are produced with a 

yield of ~50% at 298 K and ~30% at 233 K. A similar branching ratio has also been reported by Vasvari et al. 

[1227]. The results of Gierczak et al. on OH + CD3C(O)CD3 reaction, whose rate coefficient nearly obeys an 

Arrhenius expression between 240 and 400 K and is nearly an order of magnitude smaller than the nondeuterated analog at 250 K,suggests that H abstraction may be the dominant channel.Because of this 

conflicting evidence, we have not recommended the products of this reaction. 

D24. OH + CH3CN. This rate coefficient has been measured as a function of temperature by Harris et al. [482] 

between 298 and 424 K, Kurylo and Knable [667] between 250 and 363 K, Rhasa [1002] between 295 and 

520 K, and Hynes and Wine [552] between 256 and 388 K.In addition, the 298 K value has been measured 

by Poulet et al. [961]. The 298 K results of Harris et al. are in disagreement with all other measurements and 

therefore have not been included. The recommended 298 K value is a weighted average of all other studies.

The temperature dependence was computed using the results of Kurylo and Knable, the lower temperature 

values (i.e., 295–391 K) of Rhasa, and the data of Hynes and Wine. Three points are worth noting:(a) Rhasa 

observed a curved Arrhenius plot even in the temperature range of 295 to 520 K, and therefore extrapolation 

of the recommended expression could lead to large errors;(b) Hynes and Wine observed a pressure 

dependent increase of k(298 K) that levels off at about 1 atmosphere, and this observation is contradictory to 

the results of other investigations; (c) Hynes and Wine have carried out extensive pressure, temperature, O2

concentration, and isotope variations in this reaction. Hynes and Wine postulate that the reaction proceeds via 

addition as well as abstraction pathways. They observe OH regeneration in the presence of O2. The 

recommended k(298 K) and E/R are applicable for only lower tropospheric conditions.Because of the 

unresolved questions of pressure dependence and reaction mechanism, the recommended value may not be 

applicable under upper tropospheric and stratospheric conditions. 

D25. OH + CH3ONO2. The rate coefficient for this reaction at 298 K has been measured by Kerr and Stocker 

[614], Nielsen et al. [881], Gaffney et al. [417], Talukdar et al. [417], Kakesu et al. [604] and Shallcross et al. 

[1055]. The results of Kerr and Stocker and of Nielsen et al. are a factor of ten higher than those reported by 

the other groups There are no obvious reasons for the reported differences but the lower values are preferred 

for a number of reasons. Firstly, Talukdar et al. have carried out a large number of checks which ruled out 

possible effects in their system due to the regeneration of OH via secondary reactions, to bath gas pressure, 

and to formation of an adduct that could undergo further reaction in the presence of oxygen. Secondly, the 

lower values are more consistent with reactivity predictions of Atkinson and Aschmann [36], who assumed 

that the series of nitrate reactions proceed by H-atom abstraction pathways. Kinetic measurements of 

Talukdar et al. performed with isotopically substituted hydroxyl radical (OH, 18OH, and OD) and methyl 
1-48

nitrate (CH3ONO2 and CD3ONO2) are all consistent with this reaction proceeding via an H-atom abstraction 

pathway.. Accordingly, the recommended value of k(298 K) is based on an average of the values given by 

Gaffney et al, Talukdar et al., Kakesu et al. and Shallcross et al. Further verification of the reaction 

mechanism by identification of the products of the reaction is needed. The temperature dependence of the rate 

coefficient has been measured by Nielsen et al, Talukdar et al and Shallcross et al. While Nielsen et al. report 

a negative activation energy, Talukdar et al. and Shallcross et al. report positive values. For the reasons given 

above, the temperature dependence recommended here is based on an average of Talukdar et al. and 

Shallcross et al. 

D26. OH + CH3C(O)O2NO2 (PAN). This reaction has been studied by four groups, Winer et al. [1326], Wallington 

et al. [1248], Tsalkani et al. [1187], and Talukdar et al. [1152]. Winer et al. obtained only an upper limit for 

the rate coefficient. Tsalkani et al. noted that their system was very ill-behaved and obtained a value of k(298 

K) that is a factor of ~2 lower than that obtained by Wallington et al. The pulsed photolysis study of 

Wallington et al. yielded consistent results, but PAN was not directly measured and photodissociation of H2O 

in the vacuum UV, where PAN absorbs strongly, was used as the OH source. The recent study of Talukdar et 

al. [1152] yielded much lower rate coefficients. These investigators measured the PAN concentration directly 

in their system, minimized secondary reactions due to the photodissociation of PAN, and carried out 

extensive tests for decomposition of PAN, impurities, and secondary reactions. The recommended upper limit 

is a factor two higher than the highest value measured by Talukdar et al. at 298 K and at 272 K. The quoted 

upper limit is expected to be valid at all atmospheric temperatures. The products of the reaction are not 

known. Further measurements of the rate coefficients and information on the reaction pathways are needed. 

D27. OH + C2H5ONO2. The rate constant for this reaction at 298 K has been measured by Kerr and Stocker [614], 

Nielsen et al. [881], Talukdar et al. [1154], Kakesu et al. [604], and Shallcross et al. [1055]. As in the case of 

the reaction of OH with CH3ONO2, the results of Kerr and Stocker and of Nielsen et al. are larger (by a factor 

of 3) than those of the more recent studies . The reasons for the differences are not clear.Because of the 

exhaustive tests carried out (see the note for the OH + CH3ONO2 reaction), the values of Talukdar et al., 

Kakesu et al., and Shallcross et al. are recommended, with a large uncertainty. Nielsen et al., Talukdar et al., 

and Shallcross et al. have measured the rate constant as a function of temperature. As with the 

OH + CH3ONO2 reaction, Nielsen et al. report a negative activation energy while Talukdar et al. and 

Shallcross et al. have observed a small positive activation energy.Talukdar et al. note that the rate coefficient 

for this reaction does not strictly follow Arrhenius behavior, consistent with the abstraction of both the 

primary and the secondary H atoms. Above 298 K, E/R values measured by Shallcross et al and Talukdar et 

al. are in excellent agreement. Only Talukdar et al have kinetics data below 298 K and the recommended E/R 

value was obtained by fitting the rate coefficients measured by Talukdar et al. at ≤ 298 K. The large 

uncertainty encompasses the results of Kerr and Stocker and Nielsen et al. 

D28. OH + 1-C3H7ONO2. The reaction has been studied by Kerr and Stocker [614] and Atkinson and Aschmann 

[36] at room temperature and by Nielsen et al. [881] between 298 and 368 K. The results of the three studies 

are in good agreement at room temperature. Nielsen et al. find that the reaction is temperature independent 

within the measurement uncertainty over the range studied. However as discussed above, the Nielson et al. 

results for the analogous reactions of OH with CH3ONO2 and C2H5ONO2, yield negative activation energies 

that disagree with the positive activation energies obtained by others.Judging from the E/R’s for the 

analogous reactions, one might expect the E/R for this reaction to be on the order of 300 kcal/mole. 

Accordingly, we place a large uncertainty on the recommended temperature dependence. A thorough 

investigation of the temperature dependence of this reaction is needed. 

D29. OH + 2-C3H7ONO2. The reaction has been studied by Atkinson and Aschman [36], Atkinson et al [37] and 

Becker and Wirtz [98] at room temperature and by Talukdar et al. [1117] over the range 233 and 395 K. The 

results of Atkinson and Aschmann supersede those of Atkinson et al. There is fair agreement between the 

results of the three studies at room temperature, with roughly a factor of two spread in the values. The recommendation is based on an average of the room temperature values and the E/R measured by Talukdar et al. 

D30. HO2 + CH2O. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that HO2 adds to CH2O (Su et al. [1131,1133], Veyret et 

al. [1231], Zabel et al. [1349], Barnes et al. [70], and Veyret et al. [1230]). The recommended k(298 K) is the 

average of values obtained by Su et al. [1131], Veyret et al. [1231], and Veyret et al. [1230]. The temperature 

dependence observed by Veyret et al. [1230] is recommended. The value reported by Barnes et al. at 273 K is 

consistent with this recommendation. The adduct HO2•CH2O seems to isomerize to HOCH2OO reasonably 

rapidly and reversibly. There is a great deal of discrepancy between measured values of the equilibrium 

constants for this reaction. 

D31. HO2 +CH3O2. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. The kinetics of this reaction has been 

studied by using UV absorption following pulsed photolytic production of the radicals. These authors first 
1-49

analyzed the available data for the products of the reaction and concluded that the major products are 

CH3OOH and O2. They used this product yield information with their evaluated UV absorption cross sections 

for HO2 and CH3O2 to reanalyze the UV absorption profiles measured in kinetics experiments by Dagaut et 

al. [301] and by Lightfoot et al. [733], the two groups that carried out the most extensive studies. They found 

that rate coefficients reported by these two groups need to be increased by ~20%. The recommended value is 

based on the average of the corrected data from these two groups. The temperature dependence was 

evaluated by Tyndall et al. by assuming that the absorption cross sections of CH3O2 and HO2 are independent 

of temperature at the wavelengths used for the kinetics studies. 

D32. HO2 + C2H5O2. The recommended value is the weighted average of those measured by Cattell et al. [205], 

Dagaut et al. [302], Fenter et al. [389], and Maricq and Szente [778].In all experiments the rate coefficient 

was obtained by modeling the reaction system. Also, the calculated rate coefficients depended on the UV 

absorption cross sections of both C2H5O2 and HO2. The absorption cross section of C2H5O2 is not welldefined. The value reported by Dagaut et al. would be ~30% higher if the cross sections used by Maricq and 

Szente were used. The recommended E/R is that measured by Dagaut et al., Fenter et al., and Maricq and 

Szente. Wallington and Japar [1263] have shown that C2H5O2H and O2 are the only products of this reaction. 

D33. HO2 + CH3C(O)O2. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. This reaction has two sets of 

products: 

CH3C(O)O2 + HO2

a k → CH3C(O)O2H + O2 (a) 

CH3C(O)O2 + HO2

b k → CH3C(O)OH + O3 (b) 

 The majority of the reaction proceeds via channel (a), but there is clear evidence for channel (b). Tyndall et 

al. reevaluated the available data on end products of this reaction, particularly those of Crawford et al. [293], 

Moortgat et al. [834], and Horie and Moortgat [522], and concluded that channel (a) contributes ~80% while 

channel (b) contributes ~20% at 298 K. They also concluded that ka/kb = 37 × exp(–660/T) with a large 

uncertainty in this value. They derived the overall rate coefficient for this reaction, which has been measured 

only by following the radical concentrations via UV absorption. They based their recommendation mostly on 

the results of Moortgat et al [834] and Tomas et al. [1180]. 

D34. HO2 + CH3C(O)CH2O2. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. This reaction has been studied by 

only Bridier et al. [152] and Tyndall et al. based their recommendation on this one study. 

D35. NO3 + CO. The upper limit is based on the results of Hjorth et al. [514], who monitored isotopically labeled 

CO loss in the presence of NO3 by FTIR.Burrows et al. [180] obtained an upper limit of 4 × 10–16 cm3

molecule–1 s–1, which is consistent with the Hjorth et al. study. Products are expected to be NO2 + CO2, if the 

reaction occurs. 

D36. NO3 + CH2O. There are three measurements of this rate coefficient at 298 K: Atkinson et al. [48], Cantrell et 

al. [201], and Hjorth et al. [515]. The value reported by Atkinson et al. [48], k = (3.23 ± 0.26) × 10–16 cm3

molecule–1 s–1, is corrected to 5.8 × 10–16 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 to account for the different value of the 

equilibrium constant for the NO3 + NO2 → N2O5 reaction that was measured subsequent to this study by the 

same group using the same apparatus. This correction is in accordance with their suggestion (Tuazon et al. 

[1195]). The values reported by Cantrell et al. and Hjorth et al., k = 6.3 × 10–16 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 and 

(5.4±1.1) × 10–16 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1, respectively, are in good agreement with the corrected value of 

Atkinson et al. The recommended value is the average of these three studies.Cantrell et al. have good 

evidence to suggest that HNO3 and CHO are the products of this reaction. The temperature dependence of 

this rate coefficient is unknown, but comparison with the analogous NO3 + CH3CHO reaction suggests a 

large E/R. 

D37. NO3 + CH3CHO. There are four measurements of this rate constant: Morris and Niki [837], Atkinson et al. 

[48], Cantrell et al. [195], and Dlugokencky and Howard [349]. The value reported by Atkinson et al. [48], k 

= (1.34±0.28) × 10–15 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1, is corrected to 2.4 × 10–15 cm3 molecule–1 s–1 as discussed for the 

NO3 + H2CO reaction above and as suggested by Tuazon et al. [1195]. The recommended value is the 

average of the values obtained by Atkinson et al., Cantrell et al., and Dlugokencky and Howard. The results 

of Morris and Niki agree with the recommended value when their original data is re-analyzed using a more 

recent value for the equilibrium constant for the reaction NO2 + NO3 ↔ N2O5 as shown by Dlugokencky and 

Howard. Dlugokencky and Howard have studied the temperature dependence of this reaction. Their measured 

value of E/R is recommended. The A-factor has been calculated to yield the k(298K) recommended here.

Morris and Niki, and Cantrell et al. observed the formation of HNO3 and PAN in their studies, which 

strongly suggests that HNO3 and CH3CO are the products of this reaction. 
1-50

D38. CH3 + O2. This bimolecular reaction is not expected to be important, based on the results of Baldwin and 

Golden [57], who found k < 5 × 10–17 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 for temperatures up to 1200 K. Klais et al. [632] 

failed to detect OH (via CH3 + O2 → CH2O + OH) at 368 K and placed an upper limit of 3 × 10–16 cm3

molecule–1 s–1 for this rate coefficient.Bhaskaran et al. [116] measured k = 1×10–11 exp (–12,900/T) cm3

molecule–1 s–1 for 1800 < T < 2200 K. The latter two studies thus support the results of Baldwin and Golden.

Studies by Selzer and Bayes [1053] and Plumb and Ryan [956] confirm the low value for this rate coefficient.

Previous studies of Washida and Bayes [1282] are superseded by those of Selzer and Bayes. Plumb and Ryan 

have placed an upper limit of 3 × 10–16 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 based on their inability to find HCHO in their 

experiments. A study by Zellner and Ewig [1359] suggests that this reaction is important at combustion 

temperature but is unimportant for the atmosphere. 

D39. CH3 + O3. The recommended A-factor and E/R are those obtained from the results of Ogryzlo et al. [904].

The results of Simonaitis and Heicklen [1070], based on an analysis of a complex system, are not used.

Washida et al. [1281] used O + C2H4 as the source of CH3. Studies on the O + C2H4 reaction (Schmoltner et 

al. [1038], Kleinermanns and Luntz [634], Hunziker et al. [544], and Inoue and Akimoto [561]) have shown 

this reaction to be a poor source of CH3. Therefore, the results of Washida et al. are also not used. 

D40. HCO + O2. The value of k(298 K) is the average of the determinations by Washida et al. [1283], Shibuya et 

al. [1059], Veyret and Lesclaux [1229], Langford and Moore [680], Nesbitt et al. [859], Temps et al. [1161] 

and Ninomiya et al. [896]. There are three measurements of k where HCO was monitored via the intracavity 

dye laser absorption technique (Reilly et al. [998], Nadtochenko et al. [844], and Gill et al. [435]). Even 

though these studies agree with the recent measurements of Nesbitt et al., the only recent measurement to 

obtain a low value, they have not been included in deriving the recommended value of k(298 K). However, 

the uncertainty has been increased to overlap with those measurements. The main reason for not including 

them in the average is the possible depletion of O2 in those static systems (as suggested by Veyret and 

Lesclaux). Also, these experiments were designed more for the study of photochemistry than kinetics. The 

temperature dependence of this rate coefficient has been measured by Veyret and Lesclaux, Timonen et al. 

[1175] and Nesbitt et al. While Timonen et al. obtain a slightly positive activation energy, Veyret and 

Lesclaux, and Nesbitt et al. measure slightly negative activation energy.It is very likely that the Arrhenius 

expression is curved. We recommend an E/R value of zero, with an uncertainty of 100 K. Veyret and 

Lesclaux preferred a Tn form (k = 5.5 × 10–11 T–(0.4±0.3) cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 ). Hsu et al.[535] suggest that this 

reaction proceeds via addition at low temperature and abstraction at higher temperatures.

D41. CH2OH + O2. The rate coefficient was first measured directly by Radford [973] by detecting the HO2 product 

in a laser magnetic resonance spectrometer.The wall loss of CH2OH could have introduced a large error in 

this measurement.Radford also showed that the previous measurement of Avramenko and Kolesnikova [52] 

was in error. Wang et al. [1273] measured a value of 1.4 × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 by detecting the HO2

product.Recently, Dobe et al. [352], Grotheer et al. [460], Payne et al. [937], Grotheer et al. [461] and 

Nesbitt et al. [862] have measured k(298 K) to be close to 1.0 × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 under conditions 

where wall losses are small. This reaction appears to exhibit a very complex temperature dependence.Based 

on the recent data of Grotheer et al. [461] and Nesbitt et al. [862], k appears to increase from 200 K to 

approximately 250 K in an Arrhenius fashion, levels off at approximately 300 K, decreases from 300 to 500 

K, and finally increases as temperature is increased.This complex temperature dependence is believed to be 

due to the formation of a CH2(OH)•O2 adduct which can isomerize to CH2O•HO2 or decompose to reactants.

The CH2O•HO2 isomer can also decompose to CH2O and HO2 or reform the original adduct. At temperatures 

less than 250 K, the data of Nesbitt et al. suggests an E/R value of ~1700 K. For atmospheric purposes, the 

value E/R = 0 is appropriate. 

D42. CH3O + O2. The recommended value for k(298 K) is the average of those reported by Lorenz et al. [752] and 

Wantuck et al. [1276]. The recommended E/R was obtained using the results of Gutman et al. [462] (413 to 

608 K), Lorenz et al. [752] (298 to 450 K), and Wantuck et al. [1276] (298 to 498 K). These investigators 

have measured k directly under pseudo–first order conditions by following CH3O via laser induced 

fluorescence. Wantuck et al. measured k up to 973 K and found the Arrhenius plot to be curved; only their 

lower temperature data are used in the fit to obtain E/R. The A factor has been adjusted to reproduce the 

recommended k(298 K). The previous high temperature measurements (Barker et al. [61] and Batt and 

Robinson [85]) are in reasonable agreement with the derived expression. This value is consistent with the 298 

K results of Cox et al. [285], obtained froman end product analysis study, and with the upper limit measured 

by Sanders et al. [1025]. The A-factor appears low for a hydrogen atom transfer reaction. The reaction may be 

more complicated than a simple abstraction. At 298 K, the products of this reaction are HO2 and CH2O, as 

shown by Niki et al. [889]. 

D43. CH3O + NO. The reaction of CH3O with NO proceeds mainly via addition to form CH3ONO (Batt et al. [84], 

Wiebe and Heicklen [1305], Frost and Smith [415], and Ohmori et al. [905]). However, a fraction of the 
1-51

energized CH3ONO adducts decompose to CH2O + HNO, and appear to be a bimolecular channel. This 

reaction has been investigated recently by direct detection of CH3O via laser-induced fluorescence (Zellner 

[1357]; Frost and Smith [415]; Ohmori et al. [905]). The previous end-product studies (Batt et al. [84], Wiebe 

and Heicklen [1305]) are generally consistent with this conclusion. Since the fraction of the CH3ONO adduct 

that falls apart to CH2O + HNO decreases with increases in pressure and decreases in temperature, it is not 

possible to derive a “bimolecular” rate coefficient. A value of k < 8×10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 can be deduced 

from the work of Frost and Smith [415] and Ohmori et al.[905] for lower atmospheric conditions. 

D44. CH3O + NO2. The reaction of CH3O with NO2 proceeds mainly via the formation of CH3ONO2. However, a 

fraction of the energized adducts fall apart to yield CH2O + HNO2. The bimolecular rate coefficient reported 

here is for the fraction of the reaction that yields CH2O and HNO2.It is not meant to represent a bimolecular 

metathesis reaction. The recommended value was derived from the study of McCaulley et al.[794] and is 

discussed in the section on association reactions. 

D45. CH3O2 + O3. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. Their recommendation is based mostly on 

the recent study by Tyndall et al. [1220]. The temperature dependence is based on the assumption that the 

only possible reaction which can occur is the O atom transfer from the CH3O2 radical and that the activation 

energy of ~2 kcal mol–1 for this O-atom transfer is similar to that in the HO2 + O3 reaction. 

D46. CH3O2 + CH3O2. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. There are two confirmed sets of 

products for this reaction. 

CH3O2 + CH3O2

a k → CH3O + CH3O + O2 (a) 

CH3O2 + CH3O2

b k → CH3OH + HCHO + O2 (b) 

The relative product yield, ka/kb, was evaluated by Tyndall et al. to be (26.2 ± 6.6) × exp ((–1130 ± 240)/T). 

They concluded that there was no evidence for the formation of the CH3OOCH3. The kinetics of this reaction 

has been studied by using UV absorption following pulsed photolytic production of the radicals. Tyndall et 

al. used the values of k/σ measured by a large number of groups along with the σ values from their 

evaluation to calculate k.(σ is the absorption cross section of the radical at the wavelength at which it was 

monitored.) They only used the kinetics data obtained at wavelengths larger than 240 nm, since the 

absorption by HO2 radicals that are unavoidably produced in these measurements can significantly contribute 

to the measure UV profiles at shorter wavelengths. They noted that the values of k/σ measured by various 

groups were much more accurate than the values of σ measured by the same groups. The value of k obtained 

by this method was then corrected using the above branching ratio for the production of CH3O that leads to 

the unavoidable occurrence of the CH3O2 + HO2 side reaction; this side reaction consumes another CH3O2

radical. 

D47. CH3O2 + NO. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. They evaluated the available information to 

deduce that the main set of products under atmospheric conditions is CH3O + NO2. They noted, however, that 

a very small yield, <0.5%, of CH3ONO2 is also possible. The rate coefficient for the reaction at 298 K and its 

temperature dependence is based on numerous direct studies of this reaction that have been reported.

D48. CH3O2 + CH3C(O)O2. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. This reaction has two sets of 

products: 

CH3C(O)O2 + CH3O2

a k → CH3 + CO2 + CH3O + O2 (a) 

CH3C(O)O2 + CH3O2

b k → CH3C(O)OH + HCHO + O2 (b) 

Tyndall et al. reanalyzed the previously available data on the branching ratios for this reaction and concluded 

that the branching ratio for channel (a) was ka/k = 0.9±0.1 and kb/k = 0.1±0.1 at 298 K. They also concluded 

that branching ratios could not be derived for other temperatures from the existing data and therefore did not 

make a recommendation for the temperature dependence. The recommendation from Tyndall et al. is based 

on the work of Roehl et al. [1005] and Villenave et al. [1232]. Their recommended temperature dependence 

for the overall rate coefficient is based on analogy with other RO2 reactions. 

D49. CH3O2 + CH3C(O)CH2O2. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. This reaction has three 

possible sets of products: 

CH3C(O)CH2O2 + CH3O2

a k → CH3C(O) + HCHO + CH3O + O2 (a) 

CH3C(O)CH2O2 + CH3O2

b k → CH3C(O)CH2OH + HCHO + O2 (b) 
1-52

CH3C(O)CH2O2 + CH3O2

c k → CH3C(O)CHO + CH3OH + O2 (c) 

The branching ratios for these channels, ka/k = 0.3±0.1, kb/k = 0.2±0.1, and kc/k = 0.5±0.1, are based on the 

work of Bridier et al. [152] and Jenkin et al. [578]. The overall rate coefficient for this reaction has been 

studied only at 298 K by Bridier et al. and the recommendation is based on this value. The recommended 

values of E/R and g are based on analogy with other RO2 reactions. 

D50. C2H5 + O2. This is a complex reaction that involves the formation of an C2H5O2 adduct, which can either be 

stabilized by collisions or fall apart to HO2 and C2H4 (Wagner et al. [1238], Bozzelli and Dean [146], and 

Kaiser et al. [601]). The fraction of the energized adducts that fall apart to give HO2 and C2H4 will decrease 

with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature, i.e., as the C2H5O2 formation increases. The C2H4-

formation channel cannot be separated from the addition reaction.We recommend a conservative upper limit 

as a guide to the extent of this reaction. This upper limit is applicable only for lower atmospheric pressure and 

temperature conditions.

D51. C2H5O + O2. The recommendation is based on the pulsed laser photolysis studies of Gutman et al. [462] and 

Hartmann et al. [484].In both these studies, removal of C2H5O in an excess of O2 was directly monitored via 

laser induced fluorescence. Gutman et al. measured k at only two temperatures, while Hartmann et al. 

measured k at 5 temperatures between 295 and 411 K. The E/R is from Hartmann et al. The 298 K value 

deduced from an indirect study by Zabarnick and Heicklen [1347] is in reasonable agreement with the 

recommended value. 

D52. C2H5O2 + C2H5O2. k(298 K) has been studied by Adachi et al. [7], Anastasi et al. [22], Munk et al. [841], 

Cattell et al. [205], Anastasi et al. [21], Wallington et al. [1254], Bauer et al. [87], and Fenter et al. [389]. All 

the above determinations used only UV absorption to monitor C2H5O2 and hence measured k/σ, where σ is 

the absorption cross section of C2H5O2 at the monitoring wavelength. These investigators also measured the σ

that was used in evaluating the rate coefficient. There are large discrepancies in the measured values of σ. For 

this evaluation, we have used the cross sections recommended here and recalculated the values of k from 

each investigation. The recommended k is based on the results of Cattell et al., Wallington et al., Bauer et al., 

and Fenter et al.In all these experiments the observed rate coefficient is higher than the true rate coefficient 

because of secondary reactions involving HO2. HO2 is formed by the reaction of CH3CH2O with O2 and it 

reacts withC2H5O2 to enhance the observed rate coefficient (see Wallington et al. [1256] or Lightfoot et al. 

[731] for further discussion).Based on product branching ratios discussed below, which determine the 

magnitude of the necessary correction, the recommended rate coefficient is 0.6 times the average observed 

rate coefficient. The recommended value of E/R was obtained from the results of Anastasi et al., Wallington 

et al., Anastasi et al., Cattell et al., Bauer et al. and Fenter et al. The observed products (Niki et al. [890]), 

suggest that at 298 K the channel to yield 2 C2H5O + O2 accounts for about 60% of the reaction; the channel 

to yield CH3CHO + C2H5OH + O2 accounts for about 40% of the reaction; and the channel to yield 

C2H5O2C2H5 + O2 accounts for less than 5% of the reaction. These branching ratios were used above to 

obtain the true rate coefficient from the observed rate coefficient. 

D53. C2H5O2 + NO. The recommended k(298 K) is obtained from the results of Plumb et al. [958], Sehested et al. 

[1051], Daele et al. [300], Eberhard and Howard [371], and Maricq and Szente [779]. The value reported by 

Adachi and Basco [6], which is a factor of three lower than the recommended value, was not used. The rate 

coefficient for the CH3O2 + NO reaction measured by Basco and co-workers (Adachi et al. [7]), using the 

same apparatus, is also much lower than the value recommended here. The recommended temperature 

dependence is derived from Eberhardt and Howard and Maricq and Szente, which are in good agreement. 

D54. CH3C(O)O2 + CH3C(O)O2. This reaction has been studied by Addison et al. [8], Basco and Parmar [83],

Moortgat et al. [834] Maricq and Szente [779], and Roehl et al. [1005], using UV absorption techniques. The 

recommended value is obtained from the data of Moortgat et al., Maricq and Szente, and Roehl et al. As 

pointed out by Moortgat et al., the six times lower value of k obtained by Addison et al. is likely due to the 

use of incorrect UV absorption cross sections for the peroxyradical. The k obtained by Basco and Parmar is 

~2 times lower than the recommended value. This discrepancy is possibly due to neglecting the UV 

absorption of CH3O2 and other stable products in their data analysis (Moortgat et al., Maricq and Szente). The 

recommended temperature dependence was calculated from the data of Moortgat et al. and Maricq and 

Szente. Addison et al. reported the formation of O3, which was attributed to the reaction channel which 

produces CH3C(O)OCH3C(O) + O3. Moortgat et al. place an upper limit of 2% for this channel. The main 

products of this reaction appear to beCH3C(O)O + O2. The CH3C(O)O radicals rapidly decompose to give 

CH3 and CO2. 

D55. CH3C(O)O2 + NO. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. These authors have argued that the 

only set of products of importance in the atmosphere is the production of CH3 + CO2 + NO2. This is because 
1-53

the alkoxy radical produced upon O abstraction from the peroxy radical by NO will be unstable towards 

decomposition to give CH3 and CO2. The rate coefficient for the reaction was deduced primarily from direct 

studies, but was found to be consistent with the relative rate studies.In the relative rate studies, this rate 

coefficient was measured relative to the rate coefficient for the reaction of CH3C(O)O2 with NO2. The 

temperature dependence of this rate coefficient were derived from a set of direct measurement and kept 

consistent with the observed temperature dependence of the rate coefficient for the CH3C(O)O2 + NO2

reaction. 

D56. CH3C(O)CH2O2 + NO. This recommendation is from Tyndall et al. [1210]. They deduced, based on the 

results of Sehested et al. [1048], Jenkin et al. [578] and Orlando et al. [918], that the products of this reaction 

are CH3C(O)CH2O + NO2. The CH3C(O)CH2O radical decomposes rapidly to give CH3C(O) + CH2O. The 

only kinetics study of this reaction by Sehested et al. forms the basis for the rate coefficient at 298 K. This 

value is uncertain because of the corrections that had to be made in the study of Sehested et al. to account for 

the production of NO2, the monitored species, via the reaction of peroxy radicals (such as CH3C(O)O2 and 

CH3O2) with NO. The temperature dependence of the reaction is derived based on analogy with other peroxy 

radical reactions. 

E1. O + FO. The recommended value is based on results of the room temperature study of Bedzhanyan et al. 

[106] The temperature dependence of the rate constant is expected to be small, as it is for the analogous ClO 

reaction. 

E2. O + FO2. No experimental data. The rate constant for such a radical-atom process is expected to approach the 

gas collision frequency, and is not expected to exhibit a strong temperature dependence. 

E3. OH + CH3F (HFC-41). The recommended values for k(298 K) and E/R are averages of these parameters 

derived from fits to the data of Schmoltner et al. [1039], Nip et al [898], Hsu and DeMore [538], and DeMore

[335] (with the relative rate constants from the last two studies recalculated based on the current 

recommendations for the rate constants for the OH + CH3CHF2 and OH + CH3Cl reference reactions 

respectively.) The A factor was then calculated. The renormalization procedure for relative rate 

measurements referenced to the OH + CH3CHF2 reaction is discussed in the note for that reaction. The results 

of Howard and Evenson [528], Jeong and Kaufman [586], and Wallington and Hurley [1260] appear to be 

systematically lower than those of the other studies over the temperature region of interest and were not used 

to derive the recommended parameters. 

E4. OH + CH2F2 (HFC-32). The recommended value of k(298 K) is an average from the studies of Nip et al. 

[898], Jeong and Kaufman [586], Talukdar et al. [1150], Hsu and DeMore [538] (recalculated based on the 

current recommendation for the rate constant for the OH + CH3CHF2 reference reaction, as described in the 

note for that reaction), and Szilagyi et al. [1138]. The recommended value for E/R is derived from an 

Arrhenius fit to the data from these same five studies below 400 K. The results of Howard and Evenson 

[528], Clyne and Holt [244], and Bera and Hanrahan [113] were not used in deriving the recommended 

parameters. 

E5. OH + CHF3 (HFC-23). The recommended values for k(298 K) and E/R are averages of the values Schmoltner 

et al. [1039], and Hsu and DeMore [538] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate 

constant for the OH + CHF2CF3 reference reaction). The results of Jeong and Kaufman [586], and Medhurst 

et al. [799], being predominantly above room temperature, were not used in deriving the recommended 

parameters. The results from Clyne and Holt[244] and Bera and Hanrahan [113] were also not used due to 

their inconsistency with the other studies. The room temperature values of Howard and Evenson [528] and 

Nip et al [898] are encompassed within the 2σ confidence limits. 

E6. OH + CH3CH2F (HFC-161). The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from Nip et al. 

[898], Schmoltner et al. [1039], and Kozlov et al. [651]. The value of E/R is based on a fit to the data from 

these three studies from room temperature and below. The relative rate study by Hsu and DeMore [538] 

reports a temperature dependence that is markedly different from those of Schmoltner et al. [1039] and 

Kozlov et al. [651], which are in excellent agreement. This difference is due to significantly lower rate 

constant values being obtained in the Hsu and DeMore study in the region near room temperature. Given the 

most recent results for the reaction of OH + CH3CHF2 (HFC-152a), it seems likely that the HFC-161 reaction 

also has two channels with different activation energies and that the temperature dependence below room 

temperature should be less than that recommended for HFC-152a, consistent with the present 

recommendation.Curvature in the Arrhenius plot is evident from the study by Kozlov et al. [651], which was 

conducted over an extended temperature range above and below room temperature. Singleton et al. [1080] 

determined that 85 ± 3% of the abstraction by OH is from the fluorine substituted methyl group at room 

temperature. Hence this curvature is quite possibly due to the increasing importance of hydrogen abstraction 
1-54

from the unsubstituted methyl group with increasing temperature. Due to such occurrence, the recommended 

parameters should not be used for calculating rate constants above room temperature. 

E7. OH + CH3CHF2 (HFC-152a). The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from Howard 

and Evenson [529], Handwerk and Zellner [480], Nip et al. [898], Gierczak et al. [431] (two different 

absolute determinations), Hsu and DeMore [538] (two relative rate determinations which have been recalculated based on the current recommendations for the rate constants of the OH + CH4 and OH + CH3CCl3

reference reactions), and Kozlov et al [651]. There are systematic differences in the temperature dependencies 

determined in the absolute studies (particularly below room temperature) and relative studies (conducted at 

room temperature and above).Curvature in the Arrhenius plot (as suggested by the data of Gierczak et al. 

[431]) has been more clearly demonstrated by the study of Kozlov et al. [651] and seems to explain the 

earlier cited differences between the relative and absolute rate data.This curvature is likely due to the 

presence of two hydrogen-abstraction reaction channels. Hence, care must be taken in deriving a 

recommended rate expression suitable for atmospheric modeling (in the temperature region below room 

temperature). 

In spite of the noticeable Arrhenius curvature over the temperature range from 480 K to 210 K, the data 

below 300 K can be well represented by a two-parameter Arrhenius expression. Thus, the recommended 

value for E/R is derived from a fit to the data (T ≤ 300 K) of Gierczak et al. and Kozlov et al. The results 

from Clyne and Holt [244], Brown et al. [154], Nielsen [875], and Liu et al. [749] (superceded by the study 

of Kozlov et al.) were not used in deriving the recommended parameters. 

Clearly, in light of the observed Arrhenius curvature, the above procedure for deriving our recommendation 

for E/R below 300 K does not yield a parameter suitable for use in recalculating rate constants from relative 

rate studies in which the OH + CH3CHF2 reaction was the reference and which were conducted at 

temperatures above 300 K. Use of the below-room-temperature value for E/R for such purposes results in rate 

constant values that are systematically different from those determined relative to other reactions or determined by absolute techniques. For such renormalization purposes, one should use an Arrhenius expression 

derived from data over the appropriate temperature range. A fit to the absolute rate data of Gierczak et al. 

[431] and Kozlov et al. [651] between room temperature and 400 K yields the Arrhenius expression 

kabs = 2.36 × 10–12 exp{–1255/T} 

This is in good agreement with the expression derived from the relative rate data of Hsu and DeMore [538] 

krel = 2.1 × 10–12 exp{–1265/T} 

The small difference in the pre-exponential factors results from a slight systematic difference in the actual 

rate constants determined in these three studies that is probably within the combined uncertainties of the 

determinations. Thus, the following expression derived from the above room temperature E/R value and the 

recommended k(298 K) has been used for renormalization purposes in this evaluation. 

kT≥300K = 2.33 × 10–12 exp{–1260/T} 

However, this expression should not be used below 298 K, as erroneous values for OH + CH3CHF2 reaction 

rate constants would be obtained. 

E8. OH + CH2FCH2F (HFC-152). The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from Martin 

and Paraskevopoulos [787], Kozlov et al. [651], and DeMore et al.[341] (three relative rate studies using 

HFC-152a, cyclopropane, and ethane as reference reactants). The value for E/R is from a fit to the data of 

Kozlov et al. [651] at room temperature and below. The A factor was then calculated to yield the recommended value for k(298 K). The data above room temperature from Kozlov et al [651] are in excellent 

agreement with the three relative rate data sets of DeMore et al. [341]. Together, they show a pronounced 

curvature in the Arrhenius plot, which may indicate the existence of different conformers for HFC-152, each 

with differing temperature populations and reactivities.

E9. OH + CH3CF3 (HFC-143a). The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from Martin 

and Paraskevopoulos [787], Orkin et al. [910], Talukdar et al. [1150] (two different determinations), and Hsu 

and DeMore [538] (two relative rate determinations which have been recalculated based on the current 

recom-mendations for the rate constants of the OH + CH4 and OH + CHF2CF3 reference reactions). The value 

for E/R is an average of the E/R values from the last three of these studies which are in excellent agreement 

(Martin and Paraskevopoulos having made measurements only at room temperature). The data of Clyne and 

Holt [244] were not used due to their inconsistency with the other studies. 

E10. OH + CH2FCHF2 (HFC-143). The recommended temperature dependence is based on results of the relative 

rate study of Barry et al. [79] normalized to the value of the rate constant for the reference reaction (OH + 

CH3CCl3) recommended in this evaluation. The value for k(298 K) is an average of the room temperature 
1-55

values of Martin and Paraskevopoulos [787] and Barry et al. The significantly higher values reported by 

Clyne and Holt [244] were not used in the derivation of the recommended parameters. 

E11. OH + CH2FCF3 (HFC-134a). The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from Martin 

and Paraskevopoulos [787], Bednarek et al. [101], Orkin and Khamaganov [912], Leu and Lee [711], 

Gierczak et al.[431] (two different determinations), Liu et al. [749], and DeMore [333] (three determinations 

which have been recalculated based on the current recommendations for the rate constants for the reference 

reactions OH + CH4, OH + CH3CCl3, and OH + CHF2CF3). The value for E/R is an average of the E/R values 

from the last five of these investigations (the studies by Martin and Paraskevopoulos and by Bednarek et al. 

being conducted only at room temperature). The 270 K result of Zhang et al. [1365] is in excellent agreement 

with the recommendation. The data of Jeong et al. [584], Brown et al. [154], and Clyne and Holt [244] were 

not used in deriving the recommended parameters. 

E12. OH + CHF2CHF2 (HFC-134). The preferred rate expression is based on results of the three relative rate 

measurements by DeMore [333] (which have been recalculated based on the current rate constant 

recommendations for the OH + CH3CCl3, OH + CH2FCF3, and OH + CHF2CF3 reference reactions). The 

room temperature value of Clyne and Holt [244] agrees within the 2σ confidence limits. 

E13. OH + CHF2CF3 (HFC-125). The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit to the 

temperature dependence data of Talukdar et al. [1150] and DeMore [333] and the room temperature data of 

Martin and Paraskevopoulos [787]. The data of Brown et al. [154] and Clyne and Holt [244] were not used in 

deriving the recommended parameters. 

E14. OH + CH3CHFCH3 (HFC-281ea). The recommended parameters were derived from a fit to the data of 

DeMore and Wilson [340] who conducted five independent relative rate determinations. Using infrared 

detection, these investigators based their determinations on the reference reactions of OH with C2H6, C3H8, 

and C2H5Cl. Using gas chromatographic detection, they based their determinations on the reference reactions 

of OH with C2H6 and C3H8. All of the data were recalculated based on the current recommendations for the 

reference rate constants. 

E15. OH + CH3CH2CF3 (HFC-263fb).Based on room temperature measurement of Nelson et al. [853]. 

E16. OH + CH2FCF2CHF2 (HFC-245ca). The absolute rate constant results of Zhang et al. [1368] differ from the 

relative rate data (Hsu and DeMore [538]) by approximately 30 to 40% over the temperature region of 

measurement overlap.Both studies, however, derive nearly identical T-dependencies. The recommended rate 

expression, hence, averages both the k(298 K) and E/R values from these studies (with the results of Hsu and 

DeMore [538] recalculated using the current recommendation for the rate constant of the OH + CH4

reference reaction). 

E17. OH + CHF2CHFCHF2 (HFC-245ea).Based on room temperature measurement of Nelson et al. [853]. 

E18. OH + CH2FCHFCF3 (HFC-245eb).Based on room temperature measurement of Nelson et al. [853]. 

E19. OH + CHF2CH2CF3 (HFC-245fa). The recommended room temperature value is the mean of the values 

reported by Orkin et al. [910] and Nelson et al. [853], which are in good agreement. The temperature 

dependence is from Orkin et al. The A-factor has been calculated to fit the recommended room temperature 

value. 

E20. OH + CH2FCF2CF3 (HFC-236cb). The recommended rate expression is estimated as being the same as that 

for the reaction of OH with CH2FCF3 (HFC-134a), since these reactions are expected to have very similar 

Arrhenius parameters. This estimate is preferred over the results reported by Garland et al. [420], the only 

published experimental study. The A-factor reported in that study is much lower than expected and the value 

reported for E/R (1107 K) in lower than that reported for any similar halocarbon reaction. 

E21. OH + CHF2CHFCF3 (HFC-236ea). The recommended value for k(298 K) averages the values reported by 

Hsu and DeMore [538] by a relative rate method (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the 

rate constant of the OH + CH4 reference reaction) and by Nelson et al. [853] by an absolute technique. The 

temperature dependence is from Hsu and DeMore [538], with the A-factor adjusted to fit the recommended 

room temperature value. The higher and somewhat more scattered values of Garland et al. [420] and Zhang et 

al. [1368] were not used in deriving the recommended expression. 

E22. OH + CF3CH2CF3 (HFC-236fa). The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit to the data 

from the relative rate study of Hsu and DeMore [538] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for 

the rate constant for the reference reaction OH + CHF2CF3) and the absolute rate study of Gierczak et al. 

[432]. The higher results of Nelson et al. [853] and of Garland and Nelson [421], which superseded the 

earlier results of Garland et al. [421], were not used. A relative rate determination at room temperature by 

Barry et al. [77] yields a rate constant in excellent agreement with the recommended value. However, the 
1-56

extremely small rate constant ratio measured (relative to OH + CH3CF2CH2CF3) resulted in fairly large 

uncertainties. Hence this determination was not directly used in the evaluation. 

E23. OH + CF3CHFCF3 (HFC-227ea). The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit to the 

data (below 400 K) from the absolute studies of Nelson et al. [849], Zellner et al. [1358], and Zhang et al. 

[1368] and the relative rate studies of Hsu and DeMore [538] (two determinations which have been 

recalculated based on the current recommendations for the rate constants for the reference reactions OH + 

CH4 and OH + CHF2CF3). 

E24. OH + CH3CF2CH2CF3 (HFC-365mfc). The recommended value of k(298 K) is an average of the values 

obtained from the individual rate expressions by Mellouki et al. [813] and Barry et al. [77] (renormalized to 

the current recommendation for the rate constant for the reference reaction OH + CH3CCl3). The value for 

E/R is an average of the values for this parameter from the same two studies. 

E25. OH + CF3CH2CH2CF3 (HFC-356mff). The recommended value of k(298 K) is an average of the values from 

Nelson et al.[853] and Zhang et al. [1368]. The temperature dependence is from a fit to the data of Zhang et 

al. excluding the lowest temperature points (at 260 K), which are somewhat higher than an extrapolation 

from their other data would indicate. The A-factor has been calculated to fit the recommended room 

temperature value. 

E26. OH + CH2FCH2CF2CF3 (HFC-356mcf). The recommended parameters are based on a fit to the data of 

Nelson et al. [853]. 

E27. OH + CHF2CF2CF2CHF2 (HFC-338pcc). The recommended values for both k(298 K) and E/R are averages 

of these values taken from the individual fits to the data of Schmoltner et al. [1039] and Zhang et al. [1370]. 

E28. OH + CF3CH2CF2CH2CF3 (HFC-458mfcf). The recommended values for both k(298 K) and E/R are from a 

fit to the data of Nelson et al. [853]. 

E29. OH + CF3CHFCHFCF2CF3. (HFC-43-10mee). The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined 

fit to the data from Schmoltner et al. [1039] and Zhang et al. [1370]. 

E30. OH + CF3CF2CH2CH2CF2CF3 (HFC-55-10mcff). The recommended value for k(298 K) is based on Nelson et 

al. [853]. As expected, the rate constant is similar to that for CF3CH2CH2CF3. Hence the recommendation for 

E/R is estimated as being approximately the same as for this reaction, with the A-factor calculated to yield 

k(298 K). 

E31. OH + CH2=CHF. The recommended parameters were derived from a fit to the data of Perry et al. [941]. 

E32. OH + CH2=CF2. The recommended value for k(298 K) is from Howard [526]. The value of E/R was 

estimated as being similar to that for the reactions of OH with CH2=CHF and with CF2=CF2, and the value 

for A was then calculated. 

E33. OH + CF2=CF2. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values determined in the studies of 

Acerboni et al. [5] (two relative rate determinations referenced to the rate constants for the reactions of OH 

with propene and cyclohexane) and the absolute rate studies of Orkin et al. [911], and Orkin et al. [916]. The 

value for E/R is from a fit to the data of Orkin et al [916], with the value for A calculated to yield the 

recommended value for k(298 K). 

E34. OH + CF3OH. There are no measurements of the rate coefficient of this reaction. The recommendation is 

based on the recommended limit for the reverse reaction rate coefficient and an estimated equilibrium 

constant. The thermochemistry of CF3O and CF3OH are taken from ab initio calculations (Montgomery et al. 

[832] and Schneider and Wallington [1040]) and laboratory measurements (Huey et al.[542]) to estimate 

∆G°298(OH + CF3OH → CF3O + H2O) to be about (2±4) kcal mol–1.In considering the large uncertainty in 

the free energy change, the estimated rate coefficient limit is based on the assumption that the reaction is 

approximately thermoneutral. 

E35. OH + CH2(OH)CF3. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values reported by Wallington 

et al. [1255], Inoue et al. [562], and Tokuhashi et al. [1177] (two independent studies). The recommended 

value for E/R is derived from the data of and Tokuhashi et al. [1177]. The A factor was calculated to agree 

with the recommended value for k(298 K). 

E36. OH + CH2(OH)CF2CF3. The recommended parameters were derived from a combined fit to the data of 

Tokuhashi et al. [1177] (two independent absolute measurement studies) and the relative rate study of Chen 

et al. [220] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant for the OH + CH2Cl2

reference reaction). 
1-57

E37. OH + CF3CH(OH)CF3. The recommended parameters were derived from a fit to the data (below 400 K) of 

Tokuhashi et al. [1177] (two independent absolute measurement studies). 

E38. OH + CH3OCHF2 (HFOC-152a). The recommended rate expression is derived from a fit to the data of Orkin 

et al. [914] below 400 K. 

E39. OH + CH3OCF3 (HFOC-143a). The preferred rate expression is derived from a combined fit to the data of 

Orkin et al. [914] and Hsu and DeMore [539] (two relative rate determinations which have been recalculated 

based on the current recommendations for the rate constants of the OH + CH3CHF2 and OH + CH2F2

reference reactions). The renormalization procedure for relative rate measurements referenced to the 

OH + CH3CHF2 reaction is discussed in the note for that reaction. The room temperature result of Zhang et 

al. [1371] was not used in the derivation since it is significantly higher than the values of the other studies 

and may be influenced by the presence of reactive impurities. 

E40. OH + CHF2OCHF2 (HFOC-134). The recommended values of k(298 K) and E/R were derived from a 

combined fit to the data of Hsu and DeMore [539] (a relative rate study whose results have been recalculated 

using the current recommendation for the rate constant of the OH + CH3CCl3 reference reaction), Orkin et al. 

[917], and Wilson et al. [1309]. The more scattered measurements of Garland et al. [420] were not used in 

derivation of the preferred value. 

E41. OH + CHF2OCF3 (HFOC-125). The recommended rate expression is based on results of the relative rate 

study of Hsu and DeMore [539] (recalculated using the rate constant for the CHF3 reference reaction given in 

this evaluation). Additional measurements by Hsu and DeMore [539] relative to CHF2CF3 and CH4 are 

encompassed well within the 2σlimits, but were not used for assigning the recommended rate expression due 

to the large differences in reactivity between these two species and the target molecule.The room temperature 

result of Zhang et al. [1371] lies significantly higher than the recommended value, possibly due to the 

presence of reactive impurities in the sample. 

E42. OH + CHF2OCH2CF3 (HFOC-245fa). The recommended rate expression is derived from a fit to the data of 

Orkin et al. [914] below 400 K. 

E43. OH + CH3OCF2CHF2. The recommended parameters were derived from a fit to the data (below 400 K) of 

Tokuhashi et al. [1179] (two independent absolute measurement studies). A room temperature measurement 

by Heathfield et al. [490] is nearly an order of magnitude higher than recommended and may be affected by 

reactive impurities. 

E44. OH + CH3OCF2CF3. The recommended parameters were derived from a fit to the data (below 400 K) of 

Tokuhashi et al. [1178] (two independent absolute measurement studies). The expression, as expected, is 

similar to those for the OH + CH3OCF3 and OH + CH3OCF2CF2CF3 reactions. 

E45. OH + CH3OCF2CF2CF3. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values reported by 

Tokuhashi et al. [1178] (two independent absolute measurement studies) and Nonomiya et al. [896] (two 

relative rate determinations which have been recalculated based on the current recommendations for the rate 

constants of the OH + CH4 and OH + CH3Cl reference reactions). The value for E/R was determined from a 

fit to the data (below 400 K) of Tokuhashi et al. and the A factor calculated to agree with the value for k(298 

K). The expression, as expected, is similar to those for the OH + CH3OCF3 and OH + CH3OCF2CF3 reactions. 

E46. OH + CH3OCF(CF3)2. The recommended parameters were derived from a fit to the data (below 400 K) of 

Tokuhashi et al. [1178] (two independent absolute measurement studies).The rate constants from this study 

are surprisingly somewhat larger than those for the similar OH + CH3OCF3 and OH + CH3OCF2CF3 

reactions. 

E47. OH + CHF2OCH2CF2CHF2. The recommended parameters were derived from a fit to the data (below 400 K) 

of Tokuhashi et al. [1179] (two independent absolute measurement studies). 

E48. OH + CHF2OCH2CF2CF3. The recommended parameters were derived from a fit to the data (below 400 K) of 

Tokuhashi et al. [1179] (two independent absolute measurement studies). 

E49. F + O3. The recommended value is based on results of the room temperature study of Bedzhanyan et al. [103] 

and the temperature-dependent study of Wagner et al. [1242]. The value appears to be quite reasonable in 

view of the well-known reactivity of atomic chlorine with O3. 

E50. F + H2. The value of k at 298 K seems to be well established with the results reported by Zhitneva and 

Pshezhetskii [1373], Heidner et al. [491,492], Wurzberg and Houston [1337], Dodonov et al. [356], Clyne et 

al. [249], Bozzelli [145], Igoshin et al. [558], Clyne and Hodgson [242] and Stevens et al. [1115] being in 

excellent agreement (range of k being 2.3–3.0 × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1). The preferred value at 298 K is 

taken to be the mean of the values reported in these references. Values of E/R range from 433–595 K 
1-58

(Heidner et al.; Wurzberg and Houston; Igoshin et al.; and Stevens et al.). The preferred value of E/R is 

derived from a fit to the data in these studies. The A-factor was chosen to fit the recommended room 

temperature value. 

E51. F + H2O. The recommended temperature-independent value is based on results reported in the study by 

Stevens et al. [1115] over the temperature range 240–373 K using a discharge flow system with chemical 

conversion of fluorine atoms to deuterium atoms and detection of the latter by resonanace fluorescence. This 

value is in excellent agreement with the room temperature results of Frost et al. [416] and Walther and 

Wagner [1268]. The latter authors in a limited temperature-dependent study reported an E/R value of 400 K.

Although these data have not been included in the derivation of the preferred value, with the exception of the 

one low temperature data point, they are encompassed within the indicated uncertainty limits. 

E52. F + HNO3. The recommendation is based on results of the temperature-dependent study of Wine et al. [1324] 

and the room temperature results of Mellouki et al. [805], Rahman et al. [975] and Becker et al. [90]. The 

values at room temperature are in good agreement. The study of Wine et al. [1324] was over the temperature 

range 260–373 K.Below 320 K the data were fitted with the Arrhenius expression recommended here, 

whereas at higher temperatures a temperature-independent value was found, suggesting the occurrence of 

different mechanisms in the two temperature regimes. 

E53. F + CH4. The recommended room temperature value is the mean of the results of Wagner et al. [1240], Clyne 

et al. [249], Kompa and Wanner [648], Foon and Reid [404], Fasano and Nogar [386], and Persky et al. 

[946]. The temperature dependence is that reported by Persky et al. in a competitive study using the reaction 

F + D2 as the reference reaction. These results are preferred over the temperature dependences reported in the 

earlier studies of Wagner et al. and Foon and Reid. 

E54. FO + O3.Recommended upper limit is based on the results of Li et al. [729] in a study using a discharge 

flow-mass spectrometric technique. FO was produced in the reaction of F atoms with excess O3. No 

appreciable decay of FO, and only a small increase in FO2, was detected, allowing an upper limit to the rate 

constant of 10–14 cm3

 molecule–1s

–1 to be derived. A two orders of magnitude higher upper limit was derived 

by Sehested et al. [1052]. A lower value of the upper limit was derived by Colussi and Grela [268] from a reanalysis of data on the quantum yields for ozone destruction in F2/O3 mixtures reported by Starrico et al. 

[1104]. The results of the recent, more direct, study of Li et al. [729] are preferred over the earlier results of 

Starrico et al. There are two possible pathways which are exothermic, resulting in the production of F + 2O2

or FO2 + O2. 

E55. FO + NO. The recommended value is based on results of the temperature-dependent study of Bedzhanyan et 

al. [105] and the value reported by Ray and Watson [996] for k at 298 K using the discharge flow-mass 

spectrometric technique. 

E56. FO + FO. The recommended value is based on the results of Bedzhanyan et al. [104] and Clyne and Watson 

[260]. Wagner et al. [1242], in a less direct study, report a higher value. The results of Bedzhanyan et al. 

indicate the predominant reaction channel is that to produce 2F + O2. 

E57. FO2 + O3.Recommended value is based on results of Sehested et al. [1052]. A higher upper limit has been 

reported by Li et al. [729]. 

E58. FO2 + NO.Recommended values are based on results of Li et al. [729], the only temperature-dependent 

study. The room temperature value is nearly a factor of 2 less than the previous recommendation, which was 

based on the results of Sehested et al. [1052]. 

E59. FO2 + NO2.Recommended values are based on results of Li et al. [729], the only temperature-dependent 

study. The room temperature value is a factor of 2.5 less than the previous recommendation, which was based 

on the results of Sehested et al. [1052]. This discrepancy might be attributable to a small NO impurity in the 

NO2 sample used in the Sehested et al. study. 

E60. FO2 + CO.Recommended value is based on results of Sehested et al. [1052], the only published study of this 

reaction. 

E61. FO2 + CH4.Recommended value is based on results of Li et al. [729]. This upper limit is a factor of 20 less 

than the previously recommended upper limit, which was based on the results of Sehested et al. [1052]. 

E62. CF3O + O2. The recommendation is based upon the results of Turnipseed et al. [1202] who reported 

k(373 K) ≤ 4 × 10–17. Assuming an E/R of 5000 K, which is equal to the reaction endothermicity, yields the 

recommended A and k(298 K) limits.By comparison to other reactions involving abstraction by O2 the Afactor is likely to be much smaller. 
1-59

E63. CF3O + O3. The recommendation is based on the average of room temperature measurements reported by

Turnipseed et al. [1202], Wallington and Ball [1251] , and Bourbon et al. [141]. Turnipseed et al. and 

Bourbon et al. made direct measurements using LIF detection of CF3O with pulsed photolysis and flow tube 

reactors, respectively. Wallington and Ball used a competetive reaction scheme with IR absorption detection 

and CF3O + CH4 as the reference reaction. The recommended A factor is estimated by comparison to other 

CF3O reactions, and the E/R is calculated to give the recommended k(298 K). Upper limits reported by 

Maricq and Szente [777], Nielsen and Sehested [880], and Wallington et al. [1261] are consistent with the 

k(298 K) recommendation. Measurements reported by Fockenberg et al. [402] and Meller and Moortgat [802] 

gave rate coefficients about an order of magnitude less than the recommended value. Although the reason for 

this discrepancy is not known, both studies appear to have the possibility of significant secondary chemistry.

The reaction products have not been observed. 

E64. CF3O + H2O. The recommendation is based upon the measurement k(381) ≤ 2 × 10–16 reported by 

Turnipseed et al. [1200]. The A factor is estimated and the E/R is calculated to fit k(381). The limits 

k = (0.2–40) × 10–17 at 296 ± 2 K given by Wallington et al. [1262] are consistent with the recommendation. 

E65. CF3O + NO. The recommendation is based upon the room temperature rate coefficients reported by Sehested 

and Nielsen [1050], Turnipseed et al. [1202], and Jensen et al. [581] which are in very good agreement. An 

earlier low value given by Bevilacqua et al. [115] is superseded by Jensen et al. The temperature-dependence 

is derived from measurements by Turnipseed (233–360 K) and Jensen et al. (231–393 K).Room temperature 

results from Bourbon et al. [142] and Bhatnagar and Carr [117] and a temperature dependence study by 

Dibble et al. [347] are in good agreement with the recommendation. The reaction products have been 

reported by Chen et al. [218]Bevilacqua et al. [115], Bhatnagar and Carr and Dibble et al. 

E66. CF3O + NO2. There are no published measurements of the rate coefficient for this reaction. The reaction 

products have been reported by Chen et al. [217] who used photolysis of CF3NO to prepare CF3O2 and 

subsequently CF3O in 700 torr of air at 297±2 K. They considered two product channels: (a) CF3ONO2

obtained via three-body recombination and (b) CF2O + FNO2 obtained via fluorine transfer. Products from 

both channels were observed and found to be thermally stable in their reactor.They report ka/(ka + kb) ≥ 90% 

and kb/(ka + kb) ≤ 10%, thus the formation of CF3ONO2 is the dominant channel at 700 torr and 297 K. 

E67. CF3O + CO. The kinetics of this reaction were studied by Turnipseed et al. [1200], who used pulsed laser 

photolysis with pulsed laser-induced fluorescence detection and a flow tube reactor with chemical ionization 

detection to obtain data at temperatures from 233 to 332 K and at pressures from 0.8 to about 300 torr in He 

and at about 300 torr in SF6. The reaction was found to be predominantly a three-body recombination, 

presumably producing CF3OCO as described in Table 2. The bimolecular reaction has at least two product 

channels: (a) CF2O + CFO and (b) CF3 + CO2. The recommended bimolecular rate coefficient limit is derived 

from the low pressure results of Turnipseed et al., where the reaction was in the fall-off region. Their low 

pressure data indicate that kb < 4 × 10–16 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 at 298 K. The fate of the CF3OCO adduct is 

uncertain, and it may lead to the regeneration of CF3 or CF3O radicals in the atmosphere. Wallington and Ball 

[1252] report a yield of 96±8% CO2 at one atmosphere and 296±2 K. 

E68. CF3O + CH4. The absolute rate coefficients reported by Saathoff and Zellner [1013], Barone et al. [75], 

Jensen et al. [581], Bourbon et al. [143], and Bednarek et al. [102] at room temperature are in excellent 

agreement. Kelly et al. [611] used a relative method with FTIR detection to determine the ratio k(CF3O + 

CH4)/k(CF3O + C2H6) = R = 0.01±0.001 at 298±2 K. This does not agree with the ratio of our recommended 

values, which is 0.017. A relative rate measurement reported by Chen et al. [219] using FTIR methods also 

gives a low result for the rate coefficient. A relative rate measurement reported by Wallington and Ball 

[1252], R = 0.0152±0.0023 at 296 K, is in good agreement with the recommended rate coefficients. The 

temperature dependence is from the data of Barone et al. (247–360 K), Jensen et al. (231–385 K), and 

Bednarek et al. (235–401 K), who agree very well. Measurements at higher temperatures by Bourbon et al. 

(296–573 K) gave a higher E/R (1606 K). The k(298 K) is the average of the three absolute studies. The 

CF3OH product was observed by Jensen et al. and Bevilacqua et al. [115]. 

E69. CF3O + C2H6. The room temperature recommendation is based on results reported by Saathoff and Zellner 

[1013], Barone et al. [75], andBourbon et al. [143]. These workers are in excellent agreement. Chen et al. 

[219] measured the rate coefficient relative to that for the CF3O + NO reaction in 700 torr of air at 297 K. 

Their ratio is in good agreement with the values recommended in this evaluation. Kelly et al. [611] used a 

relative method with FTIR detection to determine the ratio k(CF3O + CH4)/k(CF3O + C2H6) = 0.01±0.001 at 

298±2 K. This does not agree with the ratio of our recommended values, which is 0.017. A relative rate 

measurement reported by Wallington and Ball [1252], R = 0.0152±0.0023 at 296 K is in good agreement 

with the recommended rate coefficients. The temperature dependence is from the work of Barone et al., who 

studied the reaction over the temperature range from 233 to 360 K. Measurements by Bourbon et al. (295–
1-60

573 K) gave a higher E/R (642 K). The products are inferred by analogy to other reactions of CF3O with 

organic compounds. 

E70. CF3O2 + O3. The recommended upper limit is given by the measurements reported by Ravishankara et al. 

[987] who used chemical ionization detection of CF3O2 with a flow tube reactor. No measurable reaction was 

observed in their study. The less direct studies of Nielsen and Sehested [880], Maricq and Szente [777] and 

Turnipseed et al. [1202] all report somewhat larger upper limits to the rate coefficient. An observable reaction 

was reported in an indirect measurement by Meller and Moortgat [802]. Their result for the CF3O + O3

reaction is not consistent with the value recommended above. Their study may have interference from 

unknown reactions. The products are assumed to be CF3O + 2O2. 

E71. CF3O2 + CO. The recommended upper limit is reported by Turnipseed et al. [1200] who used chemical 

ionization mass spectrometric detection of CF3OO with a flow tube reactor at 296 K. This result is at odds 

with an earlier study by Czarnowski and Schumacher [298], who deduced a "fast reaction" when they 

observed the thermal decomposition of CF3OOOCF3 to accelerate in the presence of CO at 315–343K.It is 

possible that the reaction of CF3O with CO could account for their observations. 

E72. CF3O2 + NO. The recommendation is an average of the room temperature rate coefficients reported by Plumb 

and Ryan [957], Dognon et al. [358], Peeters et al. [939], Bevilacqua et al. [115], Sehested and Nielsen 

[1050], Turnipseed et al. [1202], Bourbon et al. [142], and Bhatnagar and Carr [117], all of whom are in 

excellent agreement. The temperature dependence is derived from the results of Dognon et al. Several studies 

have confirmed the identity of the products. 

F1. O + ClO. There have been five studies of this rate constant over an extended temperature range using a 

variety of techniques: Leu [716]; Margitan [775]; Schwab et al. [1044]; Ongstad and Birks [909]; and 

Nicovich et al. [873]. The recommended value is based on a least squares fit to the data reported in these 

studies and in the earlier studies of Zahniser and Kaufman [1354] and Ongstad and Birks [908]. Values 

reported in the early studies of Bemand et al. [109] and Clyne and Nip [254] are significantly higher and 

were not used in deriving the recommended value. Leu and Yung [725] were unable to detect O2(

1

∆) or 

O2(

1

Σ) and set upper limits to the branching ratios for their production of 4.4 × 10–4 and 2.5 × 10–2

respectively. 

F2. O + OClO. The recommended value is based on results of the DF-RF study of Gleason et al. [443]. Over the 

temperature range from 400 K down to 240 K their data are well fitted by this Arrhenius expression, but at 

lower temperatures down to 200 K their data show an abrupt change to a negative temperature dependence.

At 200 K the value measured is a factor of 3 higher than that calculated from the Arrhenius expression.

Similar results were obtained in a recent study (Toohey, Avallone, and Anderson, private communication).

Over the temperature range 413 – 273 K their data showed a temperature dependence very similar to that 

reported by Gleason et al. over the same temperature range. Moreover, as the temperature was lowered 

further their rate constant values also levelled off and then increased at the lowest temperature. Their rate 

constant values were nearly 50% lower than the values of Gleason et al. from 400 K down to 273 K and 30% 

lower at 253 K.Colussi [267], using a laser-flash photolysis–resonance fluorescence technique over an 

extended pressure range, reported a value of the bimolecular rate coefficient at room temperature 50% higher 

than the recommended value.Colussi et al. [269] extended these measurements down to 248 K; in contrast to 

the positive temperature dependence over this temperature range reported by Gleason et al., these authors 

report a negative temperature dependence. The bimolecular rate constants reported by Colussi et al. are not 

directly measured but are derived quantities which are consistent with fall-off curves fitted to the 

experimental data over the pressure range 20–600 torr.It appears that the experiments of Bemand et al. [109], 

were complicated by secondary chemistry. The results of Colussi and Colussi et al. over an extended pressure 

range demonstrate the importance of the termolecular reaction O + OClO + M → ClO3 + M (see entry for this 

reaction in Table 2).It should be noted that the termolecular rate constants derived by Gleason et al. on the 

basis of their low temperature data are not consistent with the termolecular rate constant expression 

recommended in this evaluation (factor of 3 difference). The recommended expression is based on the results 

of Colussi [267] and Colussi et al. [269]. 

F3. O + Cl2O.Recommended value is based on the results of Stevens and Anderson [1114] and Miziolek and 

Molina [828], which are in good agreement. The significantly lower values of Wecker et al. [1291] are not 

included, nor are earlier results by Basco and Dogra [82] and Freeman and Phillips [408] due to data analysis 

difficulties in both studies. 

F4. O + HCl. Fair agreement exists between the results of Brown and Smith [157], Wong and Belles [1331], 

Ravishankara et al. [984], Hack et al. [466] and Singleton and Cvetanovic [1077] at 300 K (some of the 

values for k(300 K) were obtained by extrapolation of the experimentally determined Arrhenius expressions), 

but these are a factor of ~7 lower than that of Balakhnin et al. [56]. Unfortunately, the values reported for E/R 
1-61

are in complete disagreement, ranging from 2260–3755 K. The preferred value was based on the results 

reported by Brown and Smith, Wong and Belles, Ravishankara et al., Hack et al. and Singleton and 

Cvetanovic, but not on those reported by Balakhnin et al. 

F5. O + HOCl.Recommended value is based on results of Schindler et al. [1035].In this study the rate constant 

was found to be practically independent of temperature in the range 213–298 K. Product analysis indicated 

that Cl atom abstraction is the predominant primary reaction channel. 

F6. O + ClONO2. The results reported by Molina et al. [830] and Kurylo [661] are in good agreement, and these 

data have been used to derive the preferred Arrhenius expression. The value reported by Ravishankara et al. 

[980] at 245 K is a factor of 2 greater than those from the other studies, and this may possibly be attributed to 

(a) secondary kinetic complications, (b) the presence of NO2 as a reactive impurity in the ClONO2, or (c) 

formation of reactive photolytic products. None of the studies reported identification of the reaction products.

The room temperature result of Adler-Golden and Wiesenfeld [11] is in good agreement with the 

recommended value. 

F7. O3 + OClO. The recommended value is based on results over the temperature range 262–296 K reported by 

Wongdontri-Stuper et al. [1332]. Within the indicated uncertainty limits it also encompasses the somewhat 

lower room temperature result of Birks et al. [128]. 

F8. O3 + Cl2O2. The recommended upper limit is that determined by DeMore and Tschuikow-Roux [339].It 

refers to a temperature of 195 K, and while the reaction possibly could be faster at higher temperatures, the 

value of the rate at the higher temperatures would be of no significance because of the thermal decomposition 

of the dimer. 

F9. OH + Cl2. The recommended room temperature value is the average of the results reported by Boodaghians et 

al. [138], Loewenstein and Anderson [750], Ravishankara et al. [981], and Leu and Lin [721]. The 

temperature dependence is from Boodaghians et al. Loewenstein and Anderson determined that the exclusive 

products are Cl + HOCl. 

F10. OH + ClO. The reaction has two known product channels under atmospheric conditions: OH + ClO → Cl + 

HO2 and OH + ClO → HCl + O2. Most studies measure the rate coefficients for the overall reaction (OH + 

ClO → products) that is presumably the sum of the two channels. The recommendation for the Cl + HO2

channel is obtained from the difference between a critical assessment of the measurements of the overall 

reaction and the recommendation for the HCl + O2 channel as discussed below. The assessment of the overall 

reaction (OH + ClO → products) is based on a fit to the 219–373 K data of Hills and Howard [508], the 208–

298 K data of Lipson et al. [745], the 234–356 K data of Kegley-Owen et al. [610] and the 298 K data of 

Poulet et al. [965]. Data reported in the studies of Burrows et al. [181], Ravishankara et al. [981], and Leu 

and Lin [721] were not used in deriving the recommended value because ClO was not measured directly in 

these studies and the concentration of ClO was determined by an indirect method.Recent measurements of 

the overall rate constant by Wang and Keyser (218–298 K) [1269], Bedjanian et al. (230–360 K) [100] and 

Tyndall et al. (298 K) [1211] are consistent with the recommendation. 

The minor reaction channel forming HCl poses significant experimental difficulties due to the complications 

associated with the measurement of the HCl reaction product. Early studies inferred the HCl branching ratio 

without measuring HCl. These included the 298 K measurements of Leu and Lin [721] (>0.65); Burrows et 

al. [181] (0.85±0.2) and Hills and Howard [508] (0.86±0.14). Poulet et al. [965] measured the HCl product 

yield to be 0.98±0.12 using mass spectroscopy but their HCl sensitivity was marginal.These studies were not 

considered in the evaluation. Later studies using mass spectroscopy [744] and diode laser spectroscopy 

[1270] improved the precision of the HCl product channel measurements. Lipson et al. measured rate 

constants for the HCl channel over the temperature range 207–298 K while Wang and Keyser [1270] 

measured the HCl yield between 218–298 K. obtaining (9.0±4.8) %, independent of temperature. The 

recommendation for the HCl channel is based on an average of the results of Lipson et al. and the rate 

expression obtained from the product of the HCl yield of Wang and Keyser and the evaluated overall rate 

constant as discussed above. Recent measurements by Tyndall et al. [1211] and Bedjanian et al. [100] are 

noted but are not considered in this evaluation. 

F11. OH + OClO. The recommended value is that reported by Poulet et al. [969], the only reported study of this 

rate constant, using a discharge flow system in which OH decay was measured by LIF or EPR over the 

temperature range 293–473 K. Product HOCl was detected by modulated molecular beam mass spectrometry.

The branching ratio for the channel to produce HOCl + O2 was determined to be close to unity, but 

experimental uncertainty would allow it to be as low as 0.80. 

F12. OH + HCl. The recommended value is based on a least squares fit to the data over the temperature range 

240–300 K reported in the studies by Molina et al. [831], Keyser [622], Ravishankara et al. [993] and Battin-
1-62

Leclerc et al. [86].In these studies particular attention was paid to the determination of the absolute 

concentration of HCl by UV and IR spectrophotometry. Earlier studies by Takacs and Glass [1143], Zahniser 

et al. [1355], Smith and Zellner [1093], Ravishankara et al. [984], Hack et al. [466], Husain et al. [547], 

Cannon et al. [191], Husain et al. [548], and Smith and Williams [1092] had reported somewhat lower room 

temperature values. The data of Sharkey and Smith [1056] over the temperature range 138–216 K and BattinLeclerc et al. [86] below 240 K depart from normal Arrhenius behavior. It is unknown whether this is due to 

an effect such as tunneling at low temperature or a systematic experimental error. Additional work at low 

temperature is needed. 

F13. OH + HOCl. In the only reported study of this system Ennis and Birks [379] reported the value of this rate 

constant at room temperature to lie in the range (1.7 – 9.5) × 10–13 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1. A temperature-dependent expression has been estimated by choosing a pre-exponential factor by analogy with the OH + H2O2

reaction and selecting the midpoint of the experimental range for the room temperature rate constant. The 

large uncertainty factor is needed to encompass the entire range. 

F14. OH + ClNO2. The recommended value is based on results of the direct study of Ganske et al. [418,419] using 

the discharge flow-resonance fluorescence technique. Mass spectrometric studies showed HOCl to be the 

major chlorine-containing product, with no evidence for a channel to produce HONO2 + Cl. 

F15. OH + ClONO2. The results reported by Zahniser et al. [1352] and Ravishankara et al. [980] are in good 

agreement at ~245 K (within 25%), considering the difficulties associated with handling ClONO2. The 

preferred value is that of Zahniser et al. Neither study reported any data on the reaction products. 

F16. OH + CH3Cl. The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit (for T ≤ 400 K) of the data 

from the relative rate study by Hsu and DeMore [537] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for 

the rate constant for the OH + CH3CHF2 reference reaction, as described in the note for that reaction) and the 

absolute rate studies of Orkin et al. [914] and Herndon et al. [500]. Data from the earlier studies of Howard 

and Evenson [528], Perry et al. [942], Davis et al. [317], Paraskevopoulos et al. [928], Taylor et al. [1158], 

and Jeong and Kaufman [586] are reasonably well encompassed within the 2σ limits. The room temperature 

value from Taylor et al. [1158] is inconsistent with the higher temperature results in the same study and with 

the other investigations and lies outside of the 2σ band, as do the higher room temperature values of Cox et 

al. [281] and Brown et al. [155]. 

F17. OH + CH2Cl2. The recommended values for k(298 K) and E/R are averages of the values from the absolute 

rate studies of Villenave et al. [1233] and Herndon et al. [500] and the relative rate study of Hsu and DeMore 

[537] (two determinations which have been recalculated based on the current recommendations for the rate 

constants of the OH + CH3CHF2 and OH + CH3CH2F reference reactions). The renormalization procedure for 

relative rate measurements referenced to the OH + CH3CHF2 reaction is discussed in the note for that 

reaction. The rate constant determined relative to the rate constant of the OH + CH3CH2F was renormalized 

using a rate constant of the reference reaction calculated from the data of Schmoltner et al. [1039] and 

Kozlov et al. [650] above room temperature. The results of Cox et al. [281] and Davis et al. [317] support this 

recommendation. The results from Taylor et al. [1159], Jeong and Kaufman [586], Perry et al. [942] and 

Howard and Evenson [528] lie considerably higher and were not used in deriving the recommended 

parameters. 

F18. OH + CHCl3. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from the relative rate study of 

Hsu and DeMore [537] (which has been recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate 

constant of the OH + CH3CHF2 reference reaction, as described in the note for that reaction) and the absolute 

rate studies of Taylor et al. [1159] (which superseded Taylor et al. [1158]), Jeong and Kaufman [586], Davis 

et al. [317], and Howard and Evenson [528]. The recommended value of E/R is an average of values for this 

parameter derived in the first four of the above studies.

F19. OH + CCl4. The recommended upper limit at 298 K is based on the upper limit reported in the competitive 

study by Cox et al. [281]. The value given there has been increased by a factor of four to allow for 

uncertainties in the number of NO molecules oxidized. The recommendation is compatible with the less 

sensitive upper limits reported by Howard and Evenson [528] and Clyne and Holt [243]. None of these 

investigators reported any evidence for reaction between these species. The A-factor was estimated and a 

lower limit for E/R was derived. 

F20. OH + CH2FCl(HCFC-31). The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from the relative 

rate study of DeMore [335] (which has been recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate 

constant of the OH + CH2Cl2 reference reaction) and the absolute rate studies of Howard and Evenson [528], 

Paraskevopoulos et al. [928], Watson et al. [1286], Handwerk and Zellner [480] and Jeong and Kaufman 
1-63

[586]. The recommended value for E/R is an average of the values for this parameter determined by DeMore 

and by Watson et al., Handwerk and Zellner, and Jeong and Kaufman below 400 K. 

F21. OH + CHFCl2 (HCFC-21). The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit to the data of 

Howard and Evenson [528], Perry et al. [942], Watson et al. [1286], Chang and Kaufman [209], 

Paraskevopoulos et al. [928], Jeong and Kaufman [586], and Fang et al. [382]. The rate constants reported by 

Clyne and Holt [244] are significantly higher than those from the other seven studies and were not used in 

deriving the recommended parameters. 

F22. OH + CHF2Cl(HCFC-22).Results for this compound show very good agreement among both absolute and 

relative rate constant measurements. The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit to the 

relative rate data of Hsu and DeMore [538] (which has been recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant of the OH + CH4 reference reaction), and the absolute rate studies of Orkin and 

Khamaganov [912], Fang et al. [382], Atkinson et al. [43], Watson et al. [1286], Chang and Kaufman [209], 

Paraskevopoulos et al. [928] and Jeong and Kaufman [586]. The more scattered results of Handwerk and 

Zellner [480] are in general agreement. The results from the studies of Howard and Evenson [528] and Clyne 

and Holt [244] are significantly different from those of the other studies and were not used in the derivation. 

F23. OH + CFCl3 (CFC-11). The A-factor was estimated, and a lower limit for E/R was derived by using the upper 

limit for the rate constant reported by Chang and Kaufman [210] at about 480 K. This expression is 

compatible with the upper limits reported by Atkinson et al. [43], Howard and Evenson [528], Cox et al. 

[281] and Clyne and Holt [243]. None of the investigators reported any evidence for reaction. 

F24. OH + CF2Cl2 (CFC-12). The A-factor was estimated, and a lower limit for E/R was derived by using the 

upper limit for the rate constant reported by Chang and Kaufman [210] at about 480 K. This expression is 

compatible with the upper limits reported by Atkinson et al. [43], Howard and Evenson [528], Cox et al. 

[281] and Clyne and Holt [243]. None of the investigators reported any evidence for reaction. 

F25. OH + CH2ClCH3. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values reported by Howard and 

Evenson [529], Paraskevopoulos et al. [928], Kasner et al. [608], and Herndon et al. [500]. The recommended 

value for E/R is an average of the values for this parameter determined by Kasner et al. and Herndon et al. 

with the value for A calculated to yield the recommended value for k(298 K). Data from the study by Markert 

and Nielsen [782] were not used to derive the recommended parameters, as they are somewhat more 

scattered. 

F26. OH + CH3CCl3. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from the absolute rate 

studies of Talukdar et al. [1156] and Finlayson-Pitts et al. [395], and a relative rate study of DeMore [332] 

(recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant of the OH + CH4 reference reaction).

The temperature dependence is a fit to the data between 243 K and 379 K of Talukdar et al. [1156]. These 

studies indicate both a lower k(298 K) and E/R than was reported in earlier studies: Nelson et al. [856], Jeong 

and Kaufman [585], and Kurylo et al. [664]. More recent measurements by Jiang et al. [588] and Lancar et al. 

[678] yield rate constants that are slightly higher at 298 K than this recommendation. 

F27. OH + CH3CFCl2 (HCFC-141b).Both absolute and relative rate measurements are in excellent agreement for 

this compound, and the data are linear over a wide temperature range. The recommended rate expression is 

derived from a combined fit to the data of Huder and DeMore [541] (two relative rate determinations which 

have been recalculated based on the current recommendations for the rate constants for the reference 

reactions OH + CH4 and OH + CH3CCl3), Lancar et al. [678], Zhang et al. [1365] (together with the data at 

330 K and above from Liu et al. [749], Talukdar et al. [1150] above 253 K (two studies), and Mors et 

al.[839]. The temperature-dependence data of Brown et al. [154] were not considered because the relatively 

large rate constants and Arrhenius curvature are suggestive of sample impurities. 

F28. OH + CH3CF2Cl (HCFC-142b). The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from 

Howard and Evenson [529], Cox et al. [281], Paraskevopoulos et al. [928], Mors et al. [839], Watson et al. 

[1286], Handwerk and Zellner [480], Liu et al. [749], Gierczak et al. [431], and Fang et al. [383]. The 

recommended value of E/R is an average of values for this parameter derived in the last five of these studies.

The data from Brown et al. [154] and Clyne and Holt [244] were not used to derive the recommended 

parameters. The 270 K data of Zhang et al. [1365] are in reasonable agreement with the recommendation. 

F29. OH + CH2ClCF2Cl (HCFC-132b). The recommended rate expression was derived from the data of Watson et 

al. [1288], which were corrected by these authors for the presence of alkene impurities. The data of Jeong et 

al. [584], indicating faster rate constants, may have been affected by such impurities; hence they were not 

included in deriving the recommendation. 

F30. OH + CH2ClCF3 (HCFC-133a). The recommended value of k298 is the average of the values of Howard and 

Evenson [529] and Handwerk and Zellner [480] adjusted to 298 K. The recommended temperature 
1-64

dependence was derived from the data of Handwerk and Zellner [480]. The data of Clyne and Holt [244] 

were not used in deriving the recommended parameters but (below 400 K) are encompassed within the 2σ

limits. 

F31. OH + CHCl2CF2Cl (HCFC-122). The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit to the data 

of Orkin and Khamaganov [912] (below 400 K) and DeMore [335] (two determinations which have been 

recalculated based on the current recommendations for the rate constants of the OH + CH2Cl2 and 

OH + CHCl2CF3 reference reactions). 

F32. OH + CHFClCFCl2 (HCFC-122a). The recommended rate expression was derived from the relative rate data 

of Hsu and DeMore [538] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant for the 

OH + CH3CHF2 reference reaction, as discussed in the note for that reaction). 

F33. OH + CHCl2CF3 (HCFC-123). The recommended value of k298 is the average of the values from the absolute 

studies of Gierczak et al. [431] (two determinations) Liu et al. [749], and Yamada et al. [1342], and from the 

relative rate study by Hsu and DeMore [538] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate 

constant for the OH + CH3CHF2 reference reaction, as discussed in the note for that reaction). The 

recommen-dation for the temperature dependence is derived from a fit to the data of these same five 

investigations. The temperature dependence data of Nielsen [875], Watson et al. [1288], Clyne and Holt 

[244], and Brown et al. [154] and the room temperature data of Howard and Evenson [529] were not used in 

the derivations. 

F34. OH + CHFClCF2Cl (HCFC-123a). The recommended rate expression is based on the data of Orkin and 

Khamaganov [912]. 

F35. OH + CHFClCF3 (HCFC-124). The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from the 

studies of Watson et al. [1288], Gierczak et al. [431] (2 studies), Yamada et al. [1342], and Hsu and DeMore 

[538] (two relative rate determinations which have been recalculated based on the current recommendations 

for the rate constants of the OH + CH4 and OH + CHF2CHF2 reference reactions). The room temperature rate 

constant of Howard and Evenson [529] is considerably higher than these other values and was not included in 

the average. The recommended temperature dependence is an average of the dependencies derived from these 

same studies (but using only data below 400 K from Gierczak et al. [431] and Yamada et al. [1342]. 

F36. OH + CH3CF2CFCl2 (HCFC-243cc). The recommended rate expression is derived from the temperaturedependence data of Nelson et al. [852]. Although there is only a single study of this reaction, the uncertainties 

have been assigned to reflect our belief that the rate constant for this reaction should be less than that for 

OH + CH3CF2Cl. 

F37. OH + CHCl2CF3CF2 (HCFC-225ca). The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from 

Nelson et al. [852] and Zhang et al. [1366]. The recommendation for E/R is taken from Nelson et al. [852].

The temperature-dependence data of Brown et al. [153] were not considered because the relatively large rate 

constants at and below room temperature and the Arrhenius curvature are suggestive of sample impurities.

The temperature dependence results of Zhang et al. [1366] are in reasonable agreement with those of Nelson 

et al. [852] over the temperature range of measurement overlap. However, the complete Zhang et al. [1366] 

data set yields a value for E/R much larger than currently recommended for the OH + CHCl2CF3 (HFC-123) 

reaction, for which the activation energy should be similar. 

F38. OH + CF2ClCF2CHFCl (HCFC-225cb). The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit to 

the temperature-dependence data of Nelson et al. [852] and Zhang et al. [1366], which are in excellent 

agreement. 

F39. OH + CH2=CHCl. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values reported by Howard 

[526], Perry et al. [941], Liu et al. [748] and [1343]. The recommended value for E/R is an average of the 

values for this parameter derived from fits to the data of Perry et al., Liu et al. and Yamada et al. at 

temperatures below about 400 K.In the 400–500 K region the rate constant levels off before increasing at 

higher temperatures, suggesting the stronger importance of an abstraction mechanism at the higher 

temperatures. 

F40. OH + CH2=CCl2. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values reported by Edney et al. 

[373], Tuazon et al. [1191], Abbatt and Anderson [1], Zhang et al. [1367], Canosa-Mas et al. [193] and 

[1341]. The recommended value for E/R comes from a combined fit to the data of Abbatt and Anderson, 

Zhang et al. and Yamada et al.The data of Kirchner et al. [628] were not used in deriving the recommended 

parameters since they were obtained at very low pressure and the much stronger temperature dependence 

obtained may be indicative of a pressure dependence above room temperature. 
1-65

F41. OH + CHCl=CCl2. The recommended value for k(298 K) is the mean of the values reported by Howard 

[526], Chang and Kaufman [209], Kirchner et al. [628], Klopffer et al. [638], Edney et al. [373] and Tichenor 

et al. [1172]. The recommended value of E/R is an average of values for this parameter derived by Chang and 

Kaufman [209], Kirchner et al. [628] and Tichenor et al. [1172]. The value for k(298 K) derived from a 

relative rate study by Winer et al. [1327] is a factor of ~2 greater than the other values and is not considered 

in deriving the preferred value. An absolute study by Jiang et al. [589] yielding a significantly higher value 

for k(298 K) as well as a considerably stronger temperature dependence (E/R = –970 K) is assumed to be 

superseded by Tichenor et al. [1172]. 

F42. OH + CCl2=CCl2. The recommended value for k(298 K) is the mean of the values reported by Howard [526], 

Chang and Kaufman [209], and Kirchner et al. [628]. The room temperature value reported by Winer et al. 

[1327] is more than a factor of 10 greater and was not used in deriving the recommendation. The 

recommended value for E/R is an average of values for this parameter derived by Chang and Kaufman [209] 

and Kirchner et al. [628]. A study by Tichenor et al. [1173] yields a value for k(298 K) slightly lower than 

these other studies, but a temperature dependence less than half of that recommended. While these latest 

results were not used in deriving the recommendations, they are encompassed within the 95% confidence 

limits. 

F43. OH + CH3OCl. The recommended rate expression is derived from a fit to the data of Crowley et al. [294], the 

only reported study of this reaction. 

F44. OH + CCl3CHO. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values reported by Barry et al. 

[78] (using three independent techniques), Dobe et al. [350], Nelson et al. [856], Ballestra-Garcia et al. [59], 

and Scollard et al. [1045]. The temperature dependence is derived from a fit to the data of Dobe et al. [350].

The A factor was then calculated to agree with the recommended value for k(298 K). 

F45. HO2 + Cl. The recommendations for the two reaction channels are based upon the results by Lee and Howard 

[703] using a discharge flow system with laser magnetic resonance detection of HO2, OH, and ClO. The total 

rate constant is temperature independent with a value of (4.2±0.7) × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 over the 

temperature range 250–420 K. This value for the total rate constant is in agreement with the results of indirect 

studies relative to Cl + H2O2 (Leu and DeMore [717], Poulet et al. [967], Burrows et al. [176]] or to Cl + H2

(Cox [275]). The contribution of the reaction channel producing OH + ClO (21% at room temperature) is 

much higher than the upper limit reported by Burrows et al. (1% of total reaction).Cattell and Cox [206], 

using a molecular modulation-UV absorption technique over the pressure range 50–760 torr, report results in 

good agreement with those of Lee and Howard both for the overall rate constant and for the relative 

contribution of the two reaction channels. A study by Dobis and Benson [355] reports a total rate constant in 

good agreement with this recommendation but a much lower contribution (5±3%) of the channel producing 

OH + ClO. The rate constant for the channel producing ClO + OH can be combined with that for the reaction 

ClO + OH > Cl + HO2 to give an equilibrium constant from which a value of the heat of formation of HO2 at 

298 K of 3.0 kcal/mol can be derived. 

F46. HO2 + ClO. Three new studies by Nickolaisen et al [865], Knight et al. [640], and Laszlo et al. [682] have 

been added to the previous five studies of this rate constant (Reimann and Kaufman, [999]; Stimpfle et al. 

[1122]; Leck et al. [691]; Burrows and Cox [177]; Cattell and Cox [206]). The studies span a wide variety of 

pressure conditions and detection techniques. The studies of Cattell and Cox and Nickolaisen et al. were 

performed over extended pressure ranges and indicate that the reaction is pressure independent. However, the 

room temperature rate constant obtained by averaging the five low pressure (< 10 torr) studies is slightly 

lower (5.1±1.5 vs. 6.5±1.2 in units of 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1) than that obtained by averaging the higher 

pressure measurements (> 50 torr). Although within the combined uncertainty, this offset may suggest 

possible systematic experimental complications (e.g. unknown secondary reactions) in the low or high 

pressure experiments. The recommended value for k(298 K) is the mean of the eight studies. Temperaturedependence data has been obtained by Stimpfle et al., Nickolaisen et al., Knight et al., and Laszlo et al.The 

earliest study (Stimpfle et al.) observed nonlinear Arrhenius behavior. The data were best described by a four 

parameter equation of the form n k=Aexp(-B/T) CT + , possibly suggesting that two different mechanisms 

may be occurring. The more recent studies find the T-dependence to display linear Arrhenius behavior over 

the entire temperature range. Moreover, they derive much smaller E/R values (17 to 312) than that obtained 

by Stimpfle (E/R ≈ 700 for T<300 K). The recommended value for E/R is based on an average of the four 

studies over their entire temperature ranges. The two most probable pairs of reaction products are, (1) HOCl 

+ O2 and (2) HCl + O3. Leu [715], Leck et al., Knight et al., and Laszlo et al. used mass spectrometric 

detection of ozone to place upper limits on channel 2 of 1.5%, 2%, 1%, and 2%, respectively at 298 K.In 

addition, Leck et al. and Laszlo set upper limits of 3.0% (248 K); and 5.0% (243 K), respectively, on k2/k.

Burrows and Cox report an upper limit of 0.3% for k2/k at 300 K. Finkbeiner et al. [394], using matrixisolation/FTIR spectroscopy, studied product formation between 210 and 300 K at 700 torr. HOCl was 
1-66

observed as the dominant product (> 95% at all temperatures). The branching ratio values for k2/k were 

determined to be <1% at 300 K and 270 K, 2±1% at 240 K, and 5±2% at 210 K. No evidence for any other 

product channel was found. Theoretical calculations by Nickolaisen et al. suggest that the reaction to channel 

(1) proceeds mainly through the ClO-HO2 complex on the triplet potential surface. However, these 

calculations also suggest that collisionally stabilized HOOOCl formed on the singlet surface will possess an 

appreciable lifetime. Further studies on possible formation of HOOOCl are warranted. 

F47. H2O + ClONO2. This recommendation is based on the upper limits to the homogeneous bimolecular rate 

constant reported by Atkinson et al. [49], and by Hatakeyama and Leu [487,488]. Atkinson et al. observed by 

FTIR analysis the decay of ClONO2 in the presence of H2O in large-volume (2500 and 5800 liters) Teflon or 

Teflon-coated chambers. Their observed decay rate gives an upper limit to the homogeneous gas phase rate 

constant, and they conclude that the decay observed is due to heterogeneous processes. Hatakeyama and Leu, 

using a static photolysis system with FTIR analysis, derive a similar upper limit.Rowland et al. [1008] 

concluded that the decay they observed resulted from rapid heterogeneous processes. The homogeneous 

reaction is too slow to have any significant effect on atmospheric chemistry. 

F48. NO + OClO. The Arrhenius expression was estimated based on 298 K data reported by Bemand, Clyne and 

Watson [109]. 

F49. NO + Cl2O2. The recommended upper limit is that determined by Friedl (private communication) in a study 

using a DF-MS technique. 

F50. NO3 + HCl. The recommended upper limit is that reported by Mellouki et al. [807] in a study using DF-EPR 

techniques. This upper limit shows that this reaction is of negligible importance in stratospheric chemistry.

Somewhat lower upper limits have been reported by Cantrell et al. [197] and Canosa-Mas et al. [194]; the 

latter study also reports Arrhenius parameters at higher temperatures (333–473 K). 

F51. HO2NO2 + HCl. This upper limit is based on results of static photolysis-FTIR experiments reported by Leu et 

al. [720]. 

F52. Cl + O3. The results reported for k(298 K) by Watson et al. [1287], Zahniser et al. [1356], Kurylo and Braun 

[665], Clyne and Nip [253], Nicovich et al. [868] and Seeley et al. [1046] are in good agreement, and have 

been used to determine the preferred value at this temperature. The values reported by Leu and DeMore [717] 

(due to the wide error limits) and Clyne and Watson [259] (the value is inexplicably high) are not considered.

The six Arrhenius expressions are in fair agreement within the temperature range 205–300 K. In this temperature range, the rate constants at any particular temperature agree to within 30–40%. Although the values of 

the activation energy obtained by Watson et al. and Kurylo and Braun are in excellent agreement, the value 

of k in the study of Kurylo and Braun is consistently (~17%) lower than that of Watson et al. This may 

suggest a systematic underestimate of the rate constant, as the values from the other three agree so well at 298 

K. The two most recent studies (Nicovich et al. and Seeley et al.) obtained significantly smaller temperature 

dependences than those observed in the earlier studies. There is no reason to prefer any one set of data to any 

other; therefore, the preferred Arrhenius expression shown above was obtained by computing the mean of the 

six results between 205 and 298 K. DeMore [331] directly determined the ratio k(Cl + O3)/k(Cl + CH4) at 

197–217 K to be within 15% of that calculated from the absolute rate constant values recommended here. 

Vanderzanden and Birks [1226] have interpreted their observation of oxygen atoms in this system as 

evidence for some production (0.1–0.5%) of O2 ( 1

g

+ Σ ) in this reaction. The possible production of singlet 

molecular oxygen in this reaction has also been discussed by DeMore [328], in connection with the Cl2

photosensitized decomposition of ozone. However Choo and Leu [228] were unable to detect O2(

1

Σ) or 

O2(

1

∆) in the Cl + O3 system and set upper limits to the branching ratios for their production of 5 × 10–4 and 

2.5 × 10–2, respectively. They suggested two possible mechanisms for the observed production of oxygen 

atoms, involving reactions of vibrationally excited ClO radicals with O3 or with Cl atoms, respectively.

Burkholder et al. [172], in a study of infrared line intensities of the ClO radical, present evidence in support 

of the second mechanism.In their experiments with excess Cl atoms, the vibrationally excited ClO radicals 

produced in the Cl + O3 reaction can react with Cl atoms to give Cl2 and oxygen atoms, which can then 

remove additional ClO radicals. These authors point out the possibility for systematic error from assuming a 

1:1 stoichiometry for [Cl]:[O3]o when using the Cl + O3 reaction as a quantitative source of ClO radicals for 

kinetic and spectroscopic studies. 

F53. Cl + H2. This Arrhenius expression is based on the data below 300 K reported by Watson et al. [1285], Lee et 

al. [694], Miller and Gordon [826], and Kita and Stedman [631]. The results of these studies are in excellent 

agreement below 300 K; the data at higher temperatures are in somewhat poorer agreement. The results of 

Watson et al., Miller and Gordon, and Kita and Stedman agree well (after extrapolation) with the results of 

Benson et al. [112] and Steiner and Rideal [1109] at higher temperatures. For a discussion of the large body 
1-67

of rate data at high temperatures, see the review by Baulch et al. [89][86]. The room temperature value of 

Kumaran et al. [656], in a study primarily at high temperatures, is in excellent agreement with this recommendation. Miller and Gordon and Kita and Stedman also measured the rate of the reverse reaction, and 

found the ratio to be in good agreement with equilibrium constant data. 

F54. Cl + H2O2. The absolute rate coefficients determined at ~298 K by Watson et al. [1287], Leu and DeMore 

[717], Michael et al. [824], Poulet et al. [967] and Keyser [617] range in value from (3.6–6.2) × 10–13. The 

studies of Michael et al., Keyser, and Poulet et al. are presently considered to be the most reliable. The 

preferred value for the Arrhenius expression is taken to be that reported by Keyser. The A-factor reported by 

Michael et al. is considerably lower than that expected from theoretical considerations and may possibly be 

attributed to decomposition of H2O2 at temperatures above 300 K. The data of Michael et al. at and below 

300 K are in good agreement with the Arrhenius expression reported by Keyser. More data are required 

before the Arrhenius parameters can be considered to be well-established. Heneghan and Benson [498], using 

mass spectrometry, confirmed that this reaction proceeds only by the abstraction mechanism giving HCl and 

HO2 as products. 

F55. Cl + NO3. The recommended value at room temperature is based on the discharge flow-EPR study of 

Mellouki et al. [805] and the discharge flow-mass spectrometric study of Becker et al. [92]. The results of 

these direct absolute rate studies are preferred over results of the earlier relative rate studies of Cox et al. 

[276], Burrows et al. [180], and Cox et al. [287], in all of which NO3 was monitored in the photolysis of Cl2-

ClONO2-N2 mixtures.Complications in the chemistry of the earlier systems probably contributed to the 

spread in reported values. This radical-radical reaction is expected to have negligible temperature 

dependence, which is consistent with the results from the study of Cox et al. [287] in which the complications 

must have been temperature independent. 

F56. Cl + N2O. This rate coefficient has been determined in a study of the halogen-catalyzed decomposition of 

nitrous oxide at about 1000 K by Kaufman et al. [609]. The largest value reported was 10–17 cm3

 molecule–1

s

–1, with an activation energy of 34 kcal/mol. Extrapolation of these results to low temperature shows that this 

reaction cannot be of any significance in atmospheric chemistry. 

F57. Cl + HNO3. The recommended upper limit at room temperature is that reported in the study of Wine et al. 

[1324], in which long-path laser absorption spectroscopy was used to look for the appearance of NO3

following the pulsed laser photolysis of Cl2-HNO3 mixtures with no evidence for NO3 production was 

observed.In the same study a less sensitive upper limit was derived from monitoring Cl atom decay by 

resonance fluorescence. A less sensitive upper limit was also found in the discharge flow-EPR study of 

Zagogianni et al. [1350]. Higher values obtained in earlier studies (Leu and DeMore [717], Kurylo et al. 

[671], and Clark et al. [234]) as well as the higher temperature results of Poulet et al. [967] are not used. 

F58. Cl + HO2NO2. The only study of this reaction is by Simonaitis and Leu [1072] using the low pressure discharge flow technique coupled with resonance fluorescence detection of Cl and mass spectrometric detection 

of HO2NO2 ion fragments.Consistent results were obtained monitoring either Cl or HO2NO2 decays and 

retrieved rate constants were less than 1 × 10–13 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 for all conditions.Impurities in the 

HO2NO2 sample (especially H2O2) complicated the measurements. A limited temperature study over the 298–

399 K range suggests that E/R is in the range of 500 – 1500. Given the experimental difficulties, only an 

upper limit is recommended for the reaction rate. 

F59. Cl + CH4. The values of k at 298 K reported from thirteen absolute rate constant studies (Manning and 

Kurylo [770], Whytock et al. [1303], Michael and Lee [817], Lin et al. [740], Zahniser et al. [1351], Keyser 

[615], Ravishankara and Wine [988], Heneghan et al. [499], Dobis and Benson [353], Sawerysyn et al. 

[1031], Beichert et al. [107], Seeley et al. [1046], and Pilgrim et al. [950]) fall in the range (0.92 – 1.13) × 10–

13, with a mean value of 0.99 × 10–13. An earlier absolute study by Watson et al. [1287] gives rate constant 

values slightly higher than those of the aforementioned studies, which may be due to uncertainties in 

correcting the data for OH loss via reaction with trace levels of ethane and propane in the methane samples 

used. 

The values derived for k at 298 K from the competitive chlorination studies of Pritchard et al. [970], 

Pritchard et al. [971], Knox [641], Knox and Nelson [643], Lee and Rowland [692], and Lin et al. [740] 

range from (0.8–1.6) × l0–13 when the original data are referenced to the presently recommended rate constant 

values for the reactions of Cl with H2 and C2H6. Of these relative rate studies, that of Lin et al. [740], yields a 

room temperature rate constant (1.07 × 10–13) that is most consistent with the absolute measured values.Thus, 

the recommended value for k at 298 K (1.0 × 10–13) is derived from an unweighted average of the rate 

constants from the thirteen preferred absolute studies and the relative rate study of Lin et al. [740]. 

There have been nine absolute studies of the temperature dependence of k in which the measurements extend 

below 300 K (Watson et al. [1287], Manning and Kurylo [770], Whytock et al. [1303], Lin et al. [740], 
1-68

Zahniser et al. [1351], Keyser [615], Ravishankara and Wine [988], Heneghan et al. [499], and Seeley et al. 

[1046]).In general, the agreement among most of these studies is quite good. However, systematic 

differences in activation energies are apparent when calculated using data obtained below 300 K versus data 

from above 300 K. Three resonance fluorescence studies have been performed over the temperature region 

between 200 and 500 K (Whytock et al. [1303], Zahniser et al. [1351] and Keyser [615]), and in each case a 

strong non-linear Arrhenius behavior was observed.Ravishankara and Wine [988] also noted nonlinear 

Arrhenius behavior over a more limited temperature range. This behavior tends to partially explain the 

variance in the values of E/R reported between those investigators who mainly studied this reaction below 

300 K (Watson et al. [1287], Manning and Kurylo [770], and Seeley et al. [1046])] and those who only 

studied it above 300 K (Clyne and Walker [258], Poulet et al. [966], and Lin et al. [740]). The agreement 

between all studies below 300 K is reasonably good, with values of E/R ranging from (1063–1320) K, and 

k(230 K) in the range (2.6–3.2) × 10–14. There have not been any absolute studies at stratospheric 

temperatures other than those which utilized the resonance fluorescence technique.Ravishankara and Wine 

[988] have suggested that the results obtained using the discharge flow and competitive chlorination 

techniques may be in error at the lower temperatures (<240 K) due to a non-equilibration of the 2

P1/2 and 2P3/2

states of atomic chlorine.Ravishankara and Wine observed that at temperatures below 240 K the apparent 

bimolecular rate constant was dependent upon the chemical composition of the reaction mixture; i.e., if the 

mixture did not contain an efficient spin equilibrator, e.g., Ar or CCl4, the bimolecular rate constant 

decreased at high CH4 concentrations. The chemical composition in each of the flash photolysis studies 

contained an efficient spin equilibrator, whereas this was not the case in the discharge flow studies. However, 

the reactor walls in the discharge flow studies could have been expected to have acted as an efficient spin 

equilibrator.Consequently, until the hypothesis of Ravishankara and Wine is proven it is assumed that the 

discharge flow and competitive chlorination results are reliable. A composite unweighted Arrhenius fit to all 

of the temperature dependent absolute studies with data in the temperature region ≤300 K (with the exception 

of the data of Watson et al. [1287], which appear to be systematically high due to reactive impurities) yields 

E/R = 1253 K and k(298 K) = 1.0 × 10–13. 

The competitive chlorination results differ from those obtained in the absolute studies in that linear Arrhenius 

behavior is observed. The values of E/R are consistently larger than those obtained from the absolute studies, 

with an average value of approximately 1500 K. Until the hypothesis of Ravishankara and Wine [988] is reexamined, the preferred Arrhenius expression attempts to best fit the results obtained between 200 and 300 K 

from all sources. Thus, using the relative rate results of Lin et al. [740] (referenced to the current recommendation for the Cl + C2H6 reaction) as representative of the relative rate studies below 300 K, together with 

the composite fit to the absolute studies given above, we obtain a recommended E/R value of 1360 K. Taken 

with the recommended value for k(298 K) = 1.0 × 10–13, we compute an Arrhenius A factor of 9.6 × 10–12. 

However, the A-factor thus derived seems somewhat low (on a per hydrogen atom basis) when compared 

with the A-factors for some similar reactions. 

F60. Cl + CH3D.Recommended value is based on results of Wallington and Hurley [1259]. 

F61. Cl + H2CO. The results from five of the six published studies (Michael et al. [821], Anderson and Kurylo 

[25], Niki et al. [885], Fasano and Nogar [385] and Poulet et al. [962]) are in good agreement at ~298 K, but 

are ~50% greater than the value reported by Foon et al. [403]. The preferred value at 298 K was obtained by 

combining the absolute values reported by Michael et al., Anderson and Kurylo, and Fasano and Nogar, with 

the values obtained by combining the ratio of k(Cl + H2CO)/k(Cl + C2H6) reported by Niki et al. (1.3±0.1) 

and by Poulet et al. (1.16±0.12) with the preferred value of 5.7 × 10–11 for k(Cl + C2H6) at 298 K. The 

preferred value of E/R was obtained from a least squares fit to all the data reported in Michael et al. and in 

Anderson and Kurylo. The A-factor was adjusted to yield the preferred value at 298 K. 

F62. Cl + HC(O)OH. The room temperature kinetics of this reaction have been studied by Wallington et al. [1245] 

and Li et al. [728]. Wallington et al. used a relative rate technique at atmospheric pressure while Li et al. 

employed flash photolysis and operated at 10 torr. The results of the two studies are in excellent agreement 

and have been averaged together to derive the recommended value.Reaction products have been investigated 

by Tyndall et al. [1221] at room temperature and 700 torr pressure. They measured the CO2 yield to be 96 ±

5% and suggested that the HOCO complex reacted with either O2 or Cl2 in their experiment to give the 

observed product. 

F63. Cl + CH3O2.Recommended value is based on results of Maricq et al. [780], Jungkamp et al. [598], and Daele 

and Poulet [299]. All three studies agree that this overall reaction is very fast. However, there is a discrepancy 

in the reported values of the branching ratios for the two pathways producing ClO + CH3O (a) and HCl + 

CH2O2 (b). The branching ratio for the reaction channels producing HCl + CH2O2 (b) has been reported to be 

50% by both Maricq et al. [780] and Jungkamp et al., but has been reported to be 90% by Daele and Poulet.

Because of this large discrepancy no branching ratios are recommended. 
1-69

F64. Cl + CH3OH. This recommendation at 298 K) is based on results of the absolute rate studies of Michael et al. 

[822], Payne et al. [937], Dobe et al. [351], Pagsberg et al. [924] and Tyndall et al. [1214], and results 

obtained in the competitive chlorination studies of Wallington et al. [1267], Lightfoot et al. [733], Nelson et 

al. [855] and Tyndall et al. The temperature independence of the rate constant was reported by Michael et al. 

in a direct study. This is consistent with the indirect results of Lightfoot et al. who deduced the rate 

coefficient for this reaction relative to that for methane as a function of temperature. This reaction can have 

two sets of products: CH2OH + HCl, channel (a) and CH3O + HCl, channel (b). Product analysis and isotopic 

substitution have established that the reaction proceeds via channel (a) rather than via channel (b). See 

Radford [973], Radford et al. [974], Meier et al. [800], and Payne et al. [937]. This reaction has been used in 

the laboratory as a source of CH2OH and as a source of HO2 by the reaction of CH2OH with O2. 

F65. Cl + CH3OOH. The only study of this reaction was by Wallington et al [1245], who measured the rate 

relative to Cl + C2H6 at 295 K and atmospheric pressure. 

F66. Cl + CH3ONO2. This reaction has been studied at 298 K by Nielsen et al [881] using a relative rate technique.

The reference compound was ethane. The recommended value is adjusted from that given by Nielsen et al. 

using the currently recommended value for k (Cl + C2H6). The temperature dependence is estimated by 

assuming an A-factor equal to approximately 20 times that of OH + CH3ONO2. This is consistent with 

observed OH/Cl A-factor ratios for primary H-abstraction from alkanes. 

F67. Cl + C2H6. The absolute rate coefficients reported in all four studies (Davis et al. [314], Manning and Kurylo 

[770], Lewis et al. [726], and Ray et al. [995]) are in good agreement at 298 K. The value reported by Davis 

et al. was probably overestimated by ~10% (the authors assumed that If was proportional to [Cl]0.9, whereas a 

linear relationship between If and [Cl] probably held under their experimental conditions). The preferred 

value at 298 K was taken to be a simple mean of the four values (the value reported by Davis et al. was 

reduced by 10%), i.e., 5.7 × 10–11. The two values reported for E/R are in good agreement; E/R = 61 K 

(Manning and Kurylo) and E/R = 130 K (Lewis et al.). A simple least squares fit to all the data would 

unfairly weight the data of Lewis et al. due to the larger temperature range covered. Therefore, the preferred 

value of 7.7 × 10–11 exp(–90/T) is an expression which best fits the data of Lewis et al. and Manning and 

Kurylo between 220 and 350 K. The recent temperature-dependent results of Dobis and Benson [354] and 

room temperature results of Kaiser et al. [602], Hooshiyar and Niki [521] and Beichert et al. [107] are in 

good agreement with the recommendation. 

F68. Cl + C2H5O2.Recommended value is based on results of Maricq et al. [780]. 

F69. Cl + CH3CH2OH. The rate coefficient for this reaction has been studied at 298 K by four groups using a 

relative rate technique: Nelson et al. [855] (relative to Cl + cyclohexane), Wallington et al. [1267] (relative to 

Cl + C2H6), Edelbuttel-Einhaus et al. [372] (relative to Cl + C2H6), and Taatjes et al. [1139]. Nelson et al 

measured this rate constant relative to the Cl + cyclohexane while the others used the Cl + C2H6 reaction.

Taatjes et al. also measured this rate coefficient by measuring the temporal profile of the HCl product. The 

agreement between these five measurements is quite good, yielding an average value that is recommended.

The temperature dependence of this rate coefficient is based on the results of Taatjes et al., who studied this 

reaction above 298 K and found it to be essentially independent of temperature. We recommend the same 

independence of temperature at atmospheric temperatures.

 This reaction can have three sets of products: CH2CH2OH + HCl, channel (a); CH3CHOH, channel (b); and 

CH3CH2O channel (c). Taatjes et al. have deduced that channel (c) is negligible and that channel (a) is about 

8% at 298 K. Therefore, the majority of reaction is expected to occur via channel (b).It is very unlikely that 

these branching ratios will change significantly at lower atmospheric temperatures. 

F70. Cl + CH3C(O)OH. Koch and Moortgat [645] have studied this reaction at room temperature using the relative 

rate technique. Deuterium substitution of the methyl hydrogens decreased the observed rate by a factor of 

3.75.In addition, CO and CO2 reaction products were observed in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1. These 

observations were interpreted in terms of methyl hydrogen abstraction from acetic acid to form the 

CH2C(O)OH radical followed by reaction with O2 to form a peroxy radical. Thermal decomposition of the 

peroxy radical produces HCHO, CO2, and atomic H.In the laboratory system, the HCHO reacts with atomic 

chlorine to yield CO. 

F71. Cl + CH3CN. The recommendation is based on results of the study of Tyndall et al. [1216]. The results of this 

study, using both relative and absolute methods and measured over a wide range of experimental conditions 

are preferred over the results of earlier studies of Kurylo and Knable [667], Poulet et al. [961], and Olbregts 

et al. [906]. Product studies reported by Tyndall et al.show that reaction proceeds predominantly by hydrogen 

atom abstraction. 
1-70

F72. Cl + C2H5ONO2. Wallington et al. [1258] and Nielsen et al [881] have measured the rate of this reaction at 

room temperature relative to atomic chlorine reactions with ethyl chloride and ethane, respectively. The two 

studies are in excellent agreement and the recommended value is based on an average of the two. The values 

given in Wallington et al and Nielsen et al. were adjusted based on the currently accepted values of the 

reference rate constants. The temperature dependence is estimated by assuming an A-factor equal to 

approximately 20 times that of OH + CH3ONO2. This is consistent with observed OH/Cl A-factor ratios for 

primary H-abstraction from alkanes. 

F73. Cl + CH3CO3NO2 (PAN). The recommended value is based on results of the relative rate study of Wallington 

et al. [1245].In this study no reaction of PAN was observed in the presence of Cl atoms. These results are 

preferred over the results of the direct study of Tsalkani et al. [1187] using a discharge flow system with EPR 

detection of Cl atom decay (in which study the authors reported a rate constant of (3.7±1.7) × 10–13 cm3

molecule–1 s–1).In both studies the major impurity in the PAN samples would be the alkane solvent. The 

presence of 0.1% tridecane in the PAN sample used by Tsalkani et al. could account for the observed Cl atom 

decay; however, solvent impurities in the PAN sample would be of no consequence in the relative rate study 

of Wallington et al. 

F74. Cl + C3H8. The recommended room temperature value is the mean of results of the competitive chlorination 

studies of Pritchard et al. [971], Knox and Nelson [643], Atkinson and Aschmann [35], Wallington et al. 

[1267], and Hooshiyar and Niki [521], and the absolute rate studies of Lewis et al. [726] and Beichert et al. 

[107]. The temperature dependence is from Lewis et al. The A-factor from that study has been adjusted 

slightly to fit the recommended room temperature value. 

F75. Cl + CH3C(O)CH3. The rate coefficient for this reaction has only been reported at 298 K. Wallington et al. 

[1267] and Olsson et al. [907] report values of 2.37 × 10–12 and 1.69 ×10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 at 298 K 

measured via relative rate methods. The only direct measurement of this rate constant is by Notario et al. 

[900] who report a value of (3.06 ± 0.38) × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 at 298 K.Because of the reasons noted 

by Wallington et al. [1267], the value reported by Olsson et al. is suspect and is not considered here. The 

average of the results from Wallington et al. and Notario et al. is recommended for k(298 K).In the absence 

of temper-ature dependent measurements, based on analogy with other Cl atom reactions with halogenated 

hydrocarbons whose rate coefficients at 298 K are close to that for Cl + CH3C(O)CH3, we recommend an E/R 

value of 1000 K with a g value of 500 K. Such a temperature dependence is consistent with this reaction 

proceeding via H atom abstraction. This E/R and k(298 K) lead to an A factor of 7.7 × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1

s

–1 . This A factor is the same as that for the reaction of Cl atom with ethane, which also contains six primary 

C–H bonds. End product studies clearly show that the products of this reaction are CH3C(O)CH2 and HCl. 

F76. Cl + C2H5CO3NO2. Wallington et al. [1245] have measured this rate constant relative to Cl + CH3Cl. The 

recommended value is adjusted from that given by Wallington et al. using the currently recommended value 

for the reference reaction rate constant. 

F77. Cl + 1-C3H7ONO2. Wallington et al. [1258] and Nielsen et al [881] have measured the rate of this reaction at 

room temperature relative to atomic chlorine reactions with ethyl chloride and ethane, respectively. The two 

studies are in excellent agreement and the recommended value is based on an average of the two. The values 

given in Wallington et al and Nielsen et al. were adjusted based on the currently accepted values of the 

reference rates. The temperature dependence is estimated by assuming an A-factor equal to approximately 20 

times that of OH + CH3ONO2. This is consistent with observed OH/Cl A-factor ratios for primary Habstraction from alkanes. 

F78. Cl + 2-C3H7ONO2. This reaction has been measured by Wallington et al [1258] at 295 K relative to 

Cl + C2H5Cl. The reported ratio of 0.46 ± 0.03 has been converted to an absolute rate using the currently 

recommended value for the ethyl chloride reaction rate. The temperature dependence is estimated by 

assuming an A-factor equal to approximately 20 times that of OH + CH3ONO2. This is consistent with 

observed OH/Cl A-factor ratios for primary H-abstraction from alkanes. 

F79. Cl + OClO. The data of Toohey [1181] are in good agreement with the results of Bemand et al. [109] at room 

temperature, and the recommended value at room temperature is the mean of the values reported in these two 

studies. The slight negative temperature dependence reported by Toohey [1181] is accepted but with error 

limits that encompass the temperature independence reported in the earlier study. 

F80. Cl + ClOO. The recommended value is based on the results of studies by Mauldin et al. [792] and Baer et al. 

[54], in whichClOO was formed by the pulsed photolysis of Cl2/O2 mixtures and its overall loss rate was 

monitored by UV absorption.In both studies k was found to be independent of temperature. These results are 

preferred over the results of the earlier, indirect studies of Johnston et al. [590], Cox et al. [282], and Ashford 

et al. [32]. The earlier studies did show that the predominant reaction pathway is that yielding Cl2 + O2 as 
1-71

products. From the branching ratio data of Cox et al., Ashford et al., and Nicholas and Norrish [863], it can 

be estimated that this reaction channel constitutes 95% of the overall reaction with ClO + ClO the products of 

the minor (5%) reaction channel. 

F81. Cl + Cl2O. The preferred value was determined from results of the temperature-dependent study of Stevens 

and Anderson [1114] and the results of two independent absolute rate coefficient studies reported by Ray et 

al. [995], which used the discharge flow-resonance fluorescence and discharge flow-mass spectrometric 

techniques. This value has been confirmed by Burrows and Cox [177], who determined the ratio 

 k(Cl + Cl2O)/k(Cl + H2) = 6900 in modulated photolysis experiments. The earlier value reported by Basco 

and Dogra [80] has been rejected. 

F82. Cl + Cl2O2. The recommended value is that determined by Friedl (private communication) in a study using a 

DF-MS technique.It is in agreement with the value reported by Cox and Hayman [289] in a study using a 

static photolysis technique with photodiode array UV spectroscopy. 

F83. Cl + HOCl. This recommendation is based on results over the temperature range 243–365 K reported by 

Cook et al. [270] and the room temperature result of Vogt and Schindler [1235]. There is a significant 

discrepancy in the reported values of the product branching ratios. Ennis and Birks [378] reported that the 

major reaction channel is that to give the products Cl2 + OH with a yield of 91±6%, whereas Vogt and 

Schindler report this yield to be 24±11%, with the major reaction channel giving HCl + ClO as products. 

F84. Cl + ClNO. The discharge flow-resonance fluorescence study of Abbatt et al. [4] provides the first reliable 

data on the temperature dependence. The laser photolysis-LMR study of Chasovnikov et al. [213] provides 

rate data for each Cl atom spin state, and they attribute the low value reported by Nelson and Johnston [854] 

in a laser flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence study to reaction of the Cl 2

P1/2 state. Adsorption and 

decomposition of ClNO on the walls of their static system may account for the very low value of Grimley 

and Houston [459]. The results of Clyne and Cruse [239] in a discharge flow-resonance fluorescence study 

are significantly lower than all recent results. The recommended value at room temperature is the mean of the 

values reported by Abbatt et al. [4], Chasovnikov et al. [213], Nesbitt et al. [861], and Kita and Stedman 

[631]. The recommended temperature dependence is from the study of Abbatt et al. [4]. 

F85. Cl + ClONO2.Recommended value is based on the results of Yokelson et al. [1346] and those of Margitan 

[773]. These results are in excellent agreement; the slightly higher values of Kurylo et al. [668] are 

encompassed within the stated uncertainties. Yokelson et al.report that at 298 K, more than 95% of this 

reaction proceeds by the reaction channel giving Cl2 + NO3 as products. 

F86. Cl + CH3Cl. The recommended room temperature value is the mean of results of the absolute rate studies of 

Manning and Kurylo [770] and Beichert et al. [107] and the relative rate study of Wallington et al. [1245].

The temperature dependence is from Manning and Kurylo. The A-factor from that study has been adjusted 

slightly to fit the recommended room temperature value. The results reported by Clyne and Walker [258] and 

Manning and Kurylo [770] are in good agreement at 298 K. However, the value of the activation energy 

measured by Manning and Kurylo is significantly lower than that measured by Clyne and Walker.Both 

groups of workers measured the rate constant for the Cl + CH4 and, similarly, the activation energy measured 

by Manning and Kurylo was significantly lower than that measured by Clyne and Walker.It is suggested that 

the discharge flow-mass spectrometric technique used by Clyne and Walker was in this case subject to a 

systematic error, and that the flash photolysis results of Manning and Kurylo provide the basis for the 

recommended rate constant. 

F87. Cl + CH2Cl2. The recommended value is based on results of the relative rate study of Tschuikow-Roux et al. 

[1188] normalized to the value of the rate constant for the reference reaction (Cl + CH4) recommended in this 

evaluation. The room temperature value is in good agreement with results of the relative rate study of Niki et 

al. [888] and the absolute rate study of Beichert et al. [107]. The higher results of Clyne and Walker [258] 

were not used. 

F88. Cl + CHCl3. There have been three recent studies of this reaction.In the studies of Beichert et al. [107] by an 

absolute technique and Brahan et al. [148] by a relative technique, room temperature values about 50% 

greater than the previous recommendation, which was based on the relative study of Knox [642], were 

reported. Talhaoui et al. [1148] in a temperature-dependent absolute rate study by the discharge flow-mass 

spectrometric technique reported a room temperature value in excellent agreement with the previous 

recommendation. The recommended room temperature value is the mean of the values reported in the studies 

of Knox , Beichert et al., Brahan et al., and Talhaoui et al. The temperature dependence is from Talhaoui et al.

and Knox. The A-factor has been fitted to the recommended room temperature value. 

F89. Cl + CH3F (HFC-41). The recommended value is based on results of the temperature-dependent relative rate 

study of Tschuikow-Roux et al. [1188] and the relative rate studies of Tuazon et al. [1192] and Wallington et 
1-72

al. [1253] at room temperature. The results of the absolute rate study of Manning and Kurylo [770] are in 

good agreement at room temperature but show a weaker temperature dependence, which is encompassed 

within the error limits. 

F90. Cl + CH2F2 (HFC-32). The recommended room temperature value is the mean of results of the relative rate 

studies of Tschuikow-Roux et al. [1189] and of Nielsen et al. [876], both normalized to the value of the rate 

constant for the reference reaction (Cl + CH4) recommended in this evaluation. The temperature dependence 

is from Tschuikow-Roux et al. The A-factor from that study has been adjusted to fit the recommended room 

temperature value. 

F91. Cl + CF3H (HFC-23).Recommended value is based on results of Coomber and Whittle [271]. 

F92. Cl + CH2FCl (HCFC-31). The recommended value is based on the room temperature results of Tuazon et al. 

[1192] and the temperature dependence reported by Tschuikow-Roux et al. [1188], normalized to the value 

of the rate constant for the reference reaction (Cl + CH4) recommended in this evaluation. 

F93. Cl + CHFCl2 (HCFC-21). The recommended room temperature value is the mean of results of the relative 

rate study of Tuazon et al. [1192] and the absolute rate study of Talhaoui et al. [1148]. The temperature 

dependence is from Talhaoui et al. The A-factor from that study has been adjusted to fit the recommended 

room temperature value. These results are preferred over the earlier results of Glavas and Heicklen [441]. 

F94. Cl + CHF2Cl (HCFC-22). The recommended room temperature value is the mean of results of the relative 

rate studies of Tuazon et al. [1192] and the absolute rate studies of Sawerysyn et al. [1032] and Talhaoui et 

al. [1148]. The temperature dependence is from Talhaoui et al. The A-factor from that study has been 

adjusted to fit the recommended room temperature value. 

F95. Cl + CH3CCl3.Recommended value is based on results of the absolute rate study of Talhaoui et al. [1149].It 

is consistent with the previous recommendation, which was a much higher upper limit reported by Wine et al. 

[1321] in a study in which it was concluded that a reactive impurity accounted for a significant fraction of the 

Cl atom removal. The value reported by Platz et al. [955] is in agreement with the recommendation. 

F96. Cl + CH3CH2F (HFC-161). The recommended values for the two reaction channels are based on results of the 

relative rate study of Tschuikow-Roux et al. [1189], normalized to the value of the rate constant for the 

reference reaction (Cl + CH4) recommended in this evaluation. 

F97. Cl + CH3CHF2 (HFC-152a). The recommended values for the two reaction channels are based on results of 

the relative rate study of Yano and Tschuikow-Roux [1344], normalized to the value of the rate constant for 

the reference reaction (Cl + C2H6) recommended in this evaluation. The overall rate constant value is in good 

agreement with results of the room temperature relative rate studies of Wallington and Hurley [1259], and 

Tuazon et al. [1192]. 

F98. Cl + CH2FCH2F (HFC-152). The recommended value is based on results of the relative rate study of Yano 

and Tschuikow-Roux [1344], normalized to the value of the rate constant for the reference reaction 

(Cl + C2H6) recommended in this evaluation. 

F99. Cl + CH3CFCl2 (HCFC-141b). The recommended value is based on results of absolute rate studies of 

Talhaoui et al. [1149] by the discharge flow - mass spectrometric technique and Warren and Ravishankara 

[1278] by the pulsed photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique and the relative rate studies of Wallington 

and Hurley [1259] and Tuazon et al. [1192]. 

F100.Cl + CH3CF2Cl (HCFC-142b). The recommended room temperature value is based on results of the relative 

rate studies of Wallington and Hurley [1259], and Tuazon et al. [1192], and the absolute rate study of 

Talhaoui et al. [1149]. The temperature dependence is from Talhaoui et al. The A-factor from that study has 

been adjusted to fit the recommended room temperature value. 

F101. Cl + CH3CF3 (HFC-143a). The recommended value is based on results of the relative rate study of 

Tschuikow-Roux et al. [1189], normalized to the value of the rate constant for the reference reaction 

(Cl + CH4) recommended in this evaluation. 

F102. Cl + CH2FCHF2 (HFC-143). The recommended values for the two reaction channels are based on results of 

the relative rate study of Tschuikow-Roux et al. [1189] normalized to the value of the rate constant for the 

reference reaction (Cl + CH4) recommended in this evaluation. 

F103. Cl + CH2ClCF3 (HCFC-133a). The recommended value is based on results of the direct study of Jourdain et 

al. [595] using the discharge flow-mass spectrometric technique to monitor the decay of the HCFC in the 

presence of a large excess of Cl atoms. The A-factor is lower than expected. 
1-73

F104. Cl + CH2FCF3 (HFC-134a). The recommended value is based on results of the relative rate studies of 

Wallington and Hurley [1259], and Tuazon et al. [1192], and the absolute rate study of Sawerysyn et al. 

[1032]. 

F105. Cl + CHF2CHF2 (HFC-134). The recommended value is based on results of the relative rate study of Nielsen 

et al. [877] and that of Yano and Tschuikow-Roux [1344], normalized to the value of the rate constant for the 

reference reaction (Cl + C2H6) recommended in this evaluation. 

F106. Cl + CHCl2CF3 (HCFC-123). The recommended value is based on results of the temperature-dependentstudy 

of Warren and Ravishankara [1278] using the pulsed photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique, and the 

relative rate studies of Wallington and Hurley [1259] and Tuazon et al. [1192] at room temperature. 

F107. Cl + CHFClCF3 (HCFC-124). The recommended value is based on results of the temperature-dependent 

study of Warren and Ravishankara [1278] using the pulsed photolysis-resonance fluorescence technique and 

the relative rate study of Tuazon et al. [1192] at room temperature. The A-factor is lower than expected. 

F108. Cl + CHF2CF3 (HFC-125).Recommended value is based on results of the relative rate studies of Tuazon et 

al. [1192] and Sehested et al. [1049]. 

F109. ClO + O3. There are two possible channels for this reaction:ClO + O3 → ClOO + O2 (k1); and ClO + O3

→ OClO + O2 (k2). The recommended upper limit for k1 at 298 K is based on results of the recent study by 

Stevens and Anderson [1113]. These authors also report that k1 = (4±2) × 10–16 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 at 413 K.

These data can be combined to derive the Arrhenius parameters A = 2 × 10–12 cm3 molecule–1 s–1 and 

E/R > 3600 K. The upper limit for k2 is based on results reported by DeMore et al. [337] and WongdontriStuper et al. [1332]; the Arrhenius parameters for k2 were estimated. 

F110. ClO + H2. The Arrhenius expression was estimated based on the ~600 K data of Walker (reported in Clyne 

and Watson [259]). 

F111. ClO + NO. The absolute rate coefficients determined in the four discharge flow-mass spectrometric studies 

(Clyne and Watson [259], Leu and DeMore [719], Ray and Watson [996] and Clyne and MacRobert [245]) 

and the discharge flow laser magnetic resonance study of Lee et al. [704] are in excellent agreement at 298 K, 

and are averaged to yield the preferred value. The value reported by Zahniser and Kaufman [1354] from a 

competitive study is not used in the derivation of the preferred value as it is about 33% higher. The 

magnitudes of the temperature dependences reported by Leu and DeMore [719] and Lee et al. are in excellent 

agreement. Although the E/R value reported by Zahniser and Kaufman [1354] is in fair agreement with the 

other values, it is not considered as it is dependent upon the E/R value assumed for the Cl + O3 reaction. The 

Arrhenius expression was derived from a least squares fit to the data reported by Clyne and Watson, Leu and 

DeMore, Ray and Watson, Clyne and MacRobert, and Lee et al. 

F112. ClO + NO3. The recommended value is based on results reported by Cox et al. [276], Cox et al. [287] Biggs et 

al. [124], and Kukui et al. [652].Biggs et al. report the rate constant to be independent of temperature, 

consistent with the results of Cox et al. [287]. This recent study of Kukui et al.supersedes the earlier study of 

Becker et al. [92] from the same laboratory, which had indicated the major products to be OClO + NO2.

There is now agreement among all studies that the major reaction channel forms ClOO + NO2 (see Biggs et 

al. [124] Cox et al. [287], and Kukui et al. From a study of the OClO/NO3 system Friedl et al. [413] conclude 

that at 220 K the formation of ClOO + NO2 is favored. 

F113. ClO + N2O. The Arrhenius expression was estimated based on the ~600 K data of Walker (reported in Clyne 

and Watson [259]). 

F114. ClO + CO. The Arrhenius expression was estimated based on the ~600 K data of Walker (reported in Clyne 

and Watson [259]). 

F115. ClO + CH4. The Arrhenius expression was estimated based on the ~600 K data of Walker (reported in Clyne 

and Watson [259]). 

F116. ClO + H2CO. Poulet et al. [968] have reported an upper limit of 10–15 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 for k at 298 K using 

the discharge flow-EPR technique. 

F117. ClO + CH3O2. The recommended expressions for the overall rate constant is based on the results of Helleis et 

al. [495].It is consistent with the room temperature measurements of Simon et al. [1067] and Kenner et al. 

[612]. The results of Kukui et al. [654] for the overall reaction are in agreement with the recommendation at 

room temperature, but these values show a slight negative temperature dependence in contrast with the slight 

positive temperature dependence recommended here. There is general agreement that the only important 

reaction channels are the two channels resulting in the production of ClOO + CH3O (a) and CH3OCl + O2 (b).

However, there is severe disagreement on their relative importance; at room temperature reaction channel (a) 
1-74

is reported to be the major channel by Helleis et al. [495], Simon et al. [1067], Kukui et al. and Helleis et al. 

[496] but it is reported to be the minor channel by Biggs et al. [122] and Daele and Poulet [299].Because of 

this large discrepancy, no branching ratios are recommended. The branching ratio studies that go down to low 

temperatures (Helleis et al. [495], Kukui et al. , and Helleis et al. [496]) report that reaction channels (a) and 

(b) are both significant down to lower polar stratospheric temperatures. 

F118. ClO + ClO. There are three bimolecular channels for this reaction:ClO + ClO → Cl2 + O2 (k1); ClO + ClO 

→ ClOO + Cl (k2); and ClO + ClO → OClO + Cl (k3). The recommended values for the individual reaction 

channels are from the study of Nickolaisen et al. [864]. This study, using a flash photolysis/long path 

ultraviolet absorption technique, is the most comprehensive study of this system, covering a wide range of 

temperature and pressure. These results are preferred over the results of earlier studies of the total 

bimolecular rate coefficient at low pressures by Clyne and Coxon [237], Clyne and White [263], and Clyne et 

al. [250], and those of other studies reported by Hayman et al. [489], Cox and Derwent [280], Simon et al. 

[1068], Horowitz et al. [523], and Horowitz et al. [524]. The room temperature branching ratio are k1:k2:k3 = 

0.29:0.50:0.21. The reaction exhibits both bimolecular and termolecular reaction channels (see entry in Table 

2). The termolecular reaction dominates at pressures higher than about 10 torr. The equilibrium constant for 

formation of the Cl2O2 dimer is given in Table 3. 

F119. HCl + ClONO2.Results of four studies of the kinetics of this system have been published, in which the 

following upper limits to the homogeneous bimolecular rate constant were reported: 10–19 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1

by a static wall-less long-path UV absorption technique and a steady-state flow FTIR technique (Molina et al. 

[829]); 5 × 10–18 using a flow reactor with FTIR analysis (Friedl et al. [411]); and 8.4 × 10–21 using a static 

photolysis system with FTIR analysis (Hatakeyama and Leu [487] and Leu et al. [720]), and 1.5 × 10–19 by 

FTIR analysis of the decay of ClONO2 in the presence of HCl in large-volume (2500 and 5800 liters) Teflon 

or Teflon-coated chambers (Atkinson et al. [40]). Earlier, Birks et al. [128] had reported a higher upper limit.

All studies found this reaction to be catalyzed by surfaces. The differences in the reported upper limits can be 

accounted for in terms of the very different reactor characteristics and detection sensitivities of the various 

studies. The homogeneous reaction is too slow to have any significant effect on atmospheric chemistry. 

F120.CH2ClO + O2. The CH2ClO radical is reported to be resistant to unimolecular dissociation into Cl + CH2O 

products, according to chain reaction/product analysis studies by Sanhueza and Heicklen [1026] and Niki et 

al. [888] and kinetics studies by Catoire et al. [204]. The recommendation is based on the work of Kaiser and 

Wallington [603] who studied the competition between reaction with O2 and HCl elimination in a complex 

photochemical reaction system using FTIR detection of stable products. The recommendation is a factor of 5 

higher than estimated using the empirical relationship given by Atkinson and Carter [42].The fate of CH2ClO 

in the atmosphere is this reaction with O2. 

F121.CH2ClO2 + HO2. The recommendation is based on the measurement reported by Catoire et al. [204], who used 

pulsed photolysis with UV absorption detection at 1 atm pressure and 251–588 K. 

F122.CH2ClO2 + NO. The recommendation is based on the value reported by Sehested et al. [1051], who used 

pulsed radiolysis and UV absorption detection of NO2 to measure the rate coefficient. The temperature 

dependence is estimated by analogy to similar RO2 + NO reactions. 

F123.CCl3O2 + NO. The recommendation is based upon the measurements of Ryan and Plumb [1012] and Dognon 

et al. [358], who agree well at room temperature. The temperature dependence is derived from the data of 

Dognon et al., who covered the temperature range 228–413 K. The CCl3O primary product of the reaction of 

CCl3O2 with NO decomposes rapidly to eliminate Cl, according to Lesclaux et al. [709]. 

F124.CCl2FO2 + NO. The recommendation is based on the measurements made by Dognon et al. [358] using pulsed 

photolysis with mass spectrometry detection at 1–10 torr and 228–413 K. These results supersede the earlier 

study of Lesclaux and Caralp [707]. The CCl2FO radical primary product of the CCl2FO2 + NO reaction is 

reported by Lesclaux et al.[709] and Wu and Carr [1336] to rapidly decompose to eliminate Cl and to give 

the products indicated. 

F125.CClF2O2 + NO. The recommendation is based on the measurements made by Dognon et al. [358], who used 

pulsed photolysis with mass spectrometry detection at 1–10 torr and 228–413 K, and Sehested et al. [1051], 

who used pulsed radiolysis with UV absorption detection of the NO2 product at one atm and 298 K. Wu and 

Carr [1336] observed the CClF2O radical primary product to rapidly dissociate to CF2O and Cl. 

G1. O + BrO. The preferred value is based on the value reported by Thorn et al. [1166] using a dual laser flash 

photolysis/long path absorption/resonance fluorescence technique.Clyne et al. [252] reported a value 

approximately 40% lower. 

G2. O + HBr.Results of the flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence study of Nava et al. [846] for 221–455 K and 

the laser flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence study of Nicovich and Wine [872] for 250–402 K provide 
1-75

the only data at stratospheric temperatures.Results reported include those of Singleton and Cvetanovic 

[1076] for 298–554 K by a phase-shift technique, and discharge flow results of Brown and Smith [157] for 

267–430 K and Takacs and Glass [1142] at 298 K. The preferred value is based on the results of Nava et al., 

as well as those of Nicovich and Wine and those of Singleton and Cvetanovic over the same temperature 

range, since these results are less subject to complications due to secondary chemistry than are the results 

using discharge flow techniques. The uncertainty at 298 K has been set to encompass these latter results. 

G3. O + HOBr.Recommended room temperature value is the mean of results of Monks et al. [1166] and Kukui et 

al. [653]. The temperature dependence is from Nesbitt et al. [860]. The A-factor from that study has been 

adjusted to fit the recommended room temperature value. Kukui et al. determined that the Br atom abstraction 

channel is the only pathway at room temperature. 

G4. OH + Br2. The recommended room temperature value is the average of the values reported by Boodaghians et 

al. [138], Loewenstein and Anderson [750], and Poulet et al. [963]. The temperature independence is from 

Boodaghians et al. Loewenstein and Anderson determined that the exclusive products are Br + HOBr. 

G5. OH + BrO.Recommended room temperature value is that reported by Bogan et al. [135]. This study, using 

discharge flow reactor techniques and beam sampling mass spectrometry, is the only experimental 

measurement of this rate constant.Because of the difficulty of analyzing the data, we assign a large 

uncertainty factor. The authors suggest that the reaction proceeds by recombination to form vibrationally 

excited HOOBr that dissociates to Br + HO2. 

G6. OH + HBr. The preferred value at room temperature is the average of the values reported by Ravishankara et 

al. [989] using FP-RF, by Jourdain et al. [597] using DF-DPR, by Cannon et al. [191] using FP-LIF, and by 

Ravishankara et al. [992] using LFP-RF and LFP-LIF techniques.In this latest study the HBr concentration 

was directly measured in-situ in the slow flow system by UV absorption.The rate constant determined in this 

re-investigation is identical to the value recommended here. The data of Ravishankara et al. [989] show no 

dependence on temperature over the range 249–416 K. Values reported by Takacs and Glass [1141] and by 

Husain et al. [547] are a factor of 2 lower and were not included in the derivation of the preferred value. Data 

by Sims et al. [1073] are in good agreement with the reommendation at 298 K but show a negative 

temperature dependence at lower temperatures. 

G7. OH + CH3Br. The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit to the data from the relative 

rate study of Hsu and DeMore [537] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant 

for the OH + CH3CHF2 reference reaction, as discussed in the note for that reaction) and the absolute 

determinations by Chichinin et al. [226], Mellouki et al. [811] and Zhang et al. [1369]. The results of these 

extensive studies are in excellent agreement and are preferred over the higher values reported in the earlier 

studies of Davis et al. [317] and Howard and Evenson [528]. 

G8. OH + CH2Br2. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from the absolute studies of 

Mellouki et al. [811] and Zhang et al. [1364] and from the relative rate measurements of DeMore [335] 

(recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant for the OH + CH2Cl2 reference 

reaction) and Orlando et al. [920] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant for 

the OH + CH3(CO)CH3 reference reaction). The recommended value of E/R is from the study of Mellouki et 

al. [811]. 

G9. OH + CHBr3. The recommended rate expression is derived from a fit to the data from the relative rate study 

of DeMore [335] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant for the OH + 

CH2Cl2 reference reaction). The results of Orkin et al. [914] are higher by a factor of 2 but have the same 

temperature dependence. They are encompassed within the 2σconfidence limits. 

G10. OH + CHF2Br. The recommended values for k(298 K) and E/R are derived from a fit to the data of Talukdar 

et al. [1151] (two studies), Orkin and Khamaganov [913], and Hsu and DeMore [538] (a relative rate 

measurement recalculated using the current recommendation for the rate constant for the OH + CH4 reference 

reaction). These data are preferred over the consistently higher results reported by Brown et al. [153].

G11. OH + CH2ClBr. The recommended value for k(298 K) is an average of the values from two relative rate 

studies by DeMore [335] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant for the 

OH + CH2Cl2 reference reaction) and Bilde et al. [126] (recalculated using the current recommendation for 

the rate constant for the OH + CH2Br2 reference reaction) and two absolute determinations by Orkin et al. 

[915], all of which are in good agreement. The recommended E/R is obtained from a fit to the data of 

DeMore and Orkin et al.. The A factor was then calculated. 
1-76

G12. OH + CF2ClBr. The A-factor was estimated, and a lower limit for E/R was derived using the upper limit for 

the rate constant at 298 K reported by Burkholder et al. [174] in a study using pulsed photolysis-LIF and DFLMR techniques. A less sensitive upper limit was reported by Clyne and Holt [243]. 

G13. OH + CF2Br2. The A-factor was estimated, and a lower limit for E/R was derived by using the upper limit for 

the rate constant at 298 K reported by Burkholder et al. [174] in a study using pulsed photolysis-LIF and DFLMR techniques. 

G14. OH + CF3Br. The A-factor was estimated and a lower limit for E/R was derived by using the upper limit for 

the rate constant at 460 K reported by Orkin and Khamaganov [913]. These parameters were then used to 

calculate an upper limit for k(298 K). The upper limit for k(298 K) determined by Burkholder et al. [174] in a 

study using pulsed photolysis-LIF and DF-LMR techniques at room temperature is understandably higher. A 

less sensitive upper limit was also reported by Le Bras and Combourieu [688]. 

G15. OH + CH2BrCH3. The recommended values for k(298 K) and E/R are derived from a fit to the data 

(T ≤ 300 K) of Herndon et al. [500]. These data suggest a curvature of the Arrhenius plot similar to that 

found for the OH reaction with CH3CH2F. The data of Qiu et al. [972] (which include earlier data reported by 

the same research group in Xing et al. [1340]) were not used because they were obtained mainly at above 

room temperature and exhibit a very steep temperature dependence resulting in a value for E/R that is larger 

than the E/R value obtained from data at T > 298 K for the OH reaction with CH3CH2F. The k(300 K) value 

reported by Donaghy et al. [363] seems too low for this reaction when compared with the recommendation 

for presumably slower (and better studied) OH reaction with CH3CH2F. 

G16. OH + CH2BrCF3. The recommended values for k(298 K) and E/R are from a combined fit to the data of 

Nelson et al. [849] and Orkin and Khamaganov [913]. 

G17. OH + CHFBrCF3. The recommended rate expression is derived from a combined fit to the data (below 

400 K) of Orkin and Khamaganov [913] and Brown et al. [153]. 

G18. OH + CHClBrCF3. The recommended rate expression is derived from a fit to the data of Orkin and 

Khamaganov [913] (for T ≤ 400 K). The room temperature value measured by Brown et al. [154] lies 

somewhat higher than this recommendation but is encompassed within the 2σ confidence limits. 

G19. OH + CHFClCF2Br. The recommended rate expression is derived from a fit to the data from the relative rate 

study of DeMore [335] (recalculated based on the current recommendation for the rate constant for the OH + 

CH3CCl3 reference reaction). 

G20. OH + CF2BrCF2Br. The A-factor was estimated and a lower limit for E/R was derived by using the upper 

limit for the rate constant at 460 K reported by Orkin and Khamaganov [913]. These parameters were then 

used to calculate an upper limit for k(298 K). The upper limit for k(298 K) determined by Burkholder et al. 

[174] in a study using pulsed photolysis-LIF and DF-LMR techniques at room temperature is understandably 

higher. 

G21. OH + CH2BrCH2CH3. The recommended values for k(298 K) and E/R are derived from a fit to the data 

(T ≤ 300 K) from Donaghy et al. [363], Teton et al. [1162], Nelson et al. [850], Herndon et al. [500], Gilles et 

al. [436], and Kozlov et al. [650]. Significant curvature in the Arrhenius plot has been observed over the 480 

to 210 K temperature range, due to the three different hydrogen-abstraction reaction channels that occur.

These channels have been quantified in the study of Gilles et al. In spite of the noticeable Arrhenius 

curvature, the data below 300 K can be well represented by a two-parameter Arrhenius fit. 

G22. OH + CH3CHBrCH3. The recommended values for k(298 K) and E/R are averages of the parameters derived 

from a fit to the data (T ≤ 300 K) of Herndon et al. [500] and Kozlov et al. [650] which are in excellent 

agreement. The A factor was then calculated. The room temperature relative rate determination by Donaghy 

et al. [363] and the absolute temperature dependent data of Teton et al. [1162] lie systematically higher than 

those from these two more recent studies. Significant curvature in the Arrhenius plot has been observed over 

the 480 K to 210 K temperature range by Kozlov et al., presumably due to the two different hydrogenabstraction reaction channels that occur.In spite of the noticeable Arrhenius curvature, the data below 300 K 

can be well represented by a two-parameter Arrhenius fit. 

G23. HO2 + Br. This recommendation is based on results obtained over the 260–390 K temperature range in the 

study by Toohey et al. [1183], using a discharge flow system with LMR detection of HO2 decay in excess Br.

The room temperature value reported in this study is a factor of 3 higher than that reported by Poulet et al. 

[964] using LIF and MS techniques and is an order of magnitude larger than the value of Posey et al. [959].

The uncertainty in E/R is set to encompass the value E/R = O, as it is for other radical-radical reactions. The 

value determined by Laverdet et al. [685] using DF-EPR techniques is in good agreement with this 
1-77

recommendation. The reactions of Br atoms with H2O2, HCHO, and HO2 are all slower than the 

corresponding reactions of Cl atoms by one to two orders of magnitude. 

G24. HO2 + BrO. The recommendation is based on results of the temperature-dependent studies of Larichev et al. 

[681], Elrod et al. ([377], and Li et al. [730]. The studies of Larichev et al. and Elrod et al. were done under 

pseudo–first-order conditions with excess HO2; the study of Li et al. was done under pseudo–first-order 

conditions with either HO2 or BrO in excess. The recommended room temperature value is the mean of the 

values reported in these studies, with the values of Li et al. under both conditions included. These studies all 

report a similar negative temperature dependence. The room temperature value of Bridier et al. [151], which 

was not obtained under pseudo–first-order decay conditions, was not included in derivation of the 

recommendation. Larichev et al. have determined an upper limit of 1.5% for production of HBr and O3. From 

a study of the reverse reaction above room temperature, Mellouki et al. [810] determined by extrapolation 

that the yield of HBr + O3 is an insignificant fraction (<0.01%) of the total reaction down to 200 K. 

G25. NO3 + HBr. The recommended upper limit is the upper limit reported by Mellouki et al. [807] in a study 

using DF-EPR techniques. This upper limit shows that this reaction is of negligible importance in 

stratospheric chemistry.Canosa-Mas et al. [194] reported a value that is consistent, within experimental error, 

with the upper limit of Mellouki et al. 

G26. Cl + CH2ClBr.Recommended value is based on results of Tschuikow-Roux et al. [1188] (normalized to the 

value of the rate constant for the reference reaction (Cl + CH4) recommended in this evaluation ) and Bilde et 

al. [126] (normalized to most recent values for the rate coefficients for the reference reactions, i.e., the rate 

coefficients for the Cl + CH4 reaction given in JPL 00-3 [1019] and for Cl + CH2Br2 given in the current 

recommendation, respectively.) The products of this reaction are expected to be CHClBr and HCl. 

G27. Cl + CH3Br.Recommended value is based on results of the absolute rate studies of Gierczak et al. [430], 

Orlando et al. [920], Kambanis et al. [605] and Piety et al. [949]. Results of these studies are in excellent 

agreement.Results of the relative rate study Tschuikow-Roux et al. [1188] were not used in derivation of the 

recommended value. The product of this reaction is expected to be mostly CH2Br and HCl. The possible 

production of CH3Cl + Br is very small in the atmosphere [446]. 

G28. Cl + CH2Br2.Recommended value is based on results of the absolute rate studies of Gierczak et al. [430], 

Orlando et al. [920], and Kambanis et al. [605].Results of these studies are in excellent agreement.Results of 

the relative rate study of Tschuikow-Roux et al. [1188] were not used in derivation of the recommended 

value. The products of this reaction are expected to be CHBr2 and HCl. 

G29. Cl + CHBr3. The recommendation is based on the only reported study of this reaction by Kambanis et al. 

[605], who employed a very low pressure reactor and monitored reactants and products using mass 

spectrometry. The products of this reaction are CBr3 and HCl. 

G30. Br + O3. The results reported for k(298 K) by Clyne and Watson [261], Leu and DeMore [718], Michael et al. 

[818], Michael and Payne [823], and Toohey et al. [1184] are in excellent agreement. The preferred value at 

298 K is derived by taking a simple mean of these five values. The temperature dependences reported for k 

by Leu and DeMore and by Toohey et al. are in good agreement, but they can only be considered to be in fair 

agreement with those reported by Michael et al. and Michael and Payne.The preferred value was synthesized 

to best fit all the data reported from these five studies. The results of Nicovich et al. [868] are in excellent 

agreement with this recommendation. 

G31. Br + H2O2. The recommended upper limit to the value of the rate constant at room temperature is based on 

results reported in the study by Toohey et al. [1183] using a discharge flow-resonance fluorescence/laser 

magnetic resonance technique. Their upper limit determined over the temperature range 298–378 K is 

consistent with less sensitive upper limits determined by Leu [714] and Posey et al. [959] using the discharge 

flow-mass spectrometric technique. The much higher value reported by Heneghan and Benson [498] may 

result from the presence of excited Br atoms in the very low pressure reactor. The pre-exponential factor was 

chosen to be consistent with that for the Cl + H2O2 rate constant, and the E/R value was fitted to the upper 

limit at 298 K. Mellouki et al. [810] have measured the rate of the reverse reaction. 

G32. Br + NO3. The recommended value is that reported by Mellouki et al. [807] in a study using DF-DPR 

techniques. 

G33. Br + H2CO. There have been two studies of this rate constant as a function of temperature: Nava et al. [848], 

using the flash photolysis–resonance fluorescence technique, and Poulet et al. [962], using the discharge 

flow-mass spectrometric technique. These results are in reasonably good agreement. The Arrhenius 

expression was derived from a least squares fit to the data reported in these two studies. The higher room 

temperature value of Le Bras et al. [689], using the discharge flow–EPR technique, has been shown to be in 

error due to secondary chemistry (Poulet et al.). 
1-78

G34. Br + OClO. The recommended value at room temperature is the mean of the values reported by Clyne and 

Watson [262] and Toohey [1181].In the study of Clyne and Watson, correction for the effect of the rapid 

reverse reaction was required. The temperature dependence reported by Toohey [1181] is accepted but with 

increased error limits. 

G35. Br + Cl2O. The recommended value is based on results reported by Stevens and Anderson [1114] and by 

Sander and Friedl [1018], which are in good agreement. 

G36. Br + Cl2O2. The recommended value is that determined by Friedl (private communication) in a study using a 

DF-MS technique. 

G37. BrO + O3. There have been two recent studies of this reaction.Rattigan et al. [978] report an overall rate 

constant of ~10–17 cm3

 molecule–1s

–1 over the temperature range 318–343 K.Rowley et al. [1009] report a 

room temperature upper limit of 2 × 10–17 cm3

 molecule–1s

–1.Both papers report a value of ~2 × 10–18 cm3

molecule–1 s–1 for the channel to produce OBrO + O2. The recommended upper limit of 2 × 10–17 cm3

molecule–1s

–1 is a factor of 2.5 less than the previously recommended upper limit of 5 × 10–17, which was 

based on Mauldin et al. [793]. The pre-exponential factor was estimated, and E/R was calculated. 

G38. BrO + NO. The results of the three low pressure mass spectrometric studies (Clyne and Watson [261]; Ray 

and Watson [996]; Leu [712]) and the high pressure UV absorption study (Watson et al. [1289]), which all 

used pseudo–first-order conditions, are in excellent agreement at 298 K and are thought to be much more 

reliable than the earlier low pressure UV absorption study (Clyne and Cruse [238]). The results of the two 

temperature-dependence studies are in good agreement and both show a small negative temperature 

dependence. The preferred Arrhenius expression was derived from a least squares fit to all the data reported 

in the four recent studies.By combining the data reported by Watson et al. with those from the three mass 

spectrometric studies, it can be shown that this reaction does not exhibit any observable pressure dependence 

between 1 and 700 torr total pressure. The temperature dependences of k for the analogous ClO and HO2

reactions are also negative and are similar in magnitude. 

G39. BrO + NO3. The recommended value is the geometric mean of the lower and upper limits reported by 

Mellouki et al. [807] in a study using DF-DPR techniques. These reported limits are encompassed within the 

indicated uncertainty limits. 

G40. BrO + ClO. Friedl and Sander [412], using DF/MS techniques, measured the overall rate constant over the 

temperature range 220–400 K and also over this temperature range determined directly branching ratios for 

the reaction channels producing BrCl and OClO. The same authors in a separate study using flash photolysis–

ultraviolet absorption techniques (Sander and Friedl [1018]) determined the overall rate constant over the 

temperature range 220–400 K and pressure range 50–750 torr and also determined at 220 K and 298 K the 

branching ratio for OClO production. The results by these two independent techniques are in excellent 

agreement, with the overall rate constant showing a negative temperature dependence. Toohey and Anderson 

[1182], using DF/RF/LMR techniques, reported room temperature values of the overall rate constant and the 

branching ratio for OClO production. They also found evidence for the direct production of BrCl in a 

vibrationally excited Π state. Poulet et al. [960], using DF/MS techniques, reported room temperature values 

of the overall rate constant and branching ratios for OClO and BrCl production. Overall room temperature 

rate constant values reported also include those from the DF/MS study of Clyne and Watson [262] and the 

very low value derived in the flash photolysis study of Basco and Dogra [81] using a different interpretation 

of the reaction mechanism. The recommended Arrhenius expressions for the individual reaction channels are 

taken from the study of Friedl and Sander [412] and Turnipseed et al. [1205] . These studies contain the most 

comprehensive sets of rate constant and branching ratio data. The overall rate constants reported in these two 

studies are in good agreement (20%) at room temperature and in excellent agreement at stratospheric 

temperatures.Both studies report that OClO production by channel (1) accounts for 60% of the overall 

reaction at 200 K.Both studies report a BrCl yield by channel (3) of about 8%, relatively independent of 

temperature. The recommended expressions are consistent with the body of data from all studies except those 

of Hills et al. [507] and Basco and Dogra [81]. 

G41. BrO + BrO. Measurements of the overall rate constant can be divided into categories—those in which BrO 

was monitored by UV absorption and those in which BrO was monitored by mass spectrometer. Gilles et al. 

[438] have re-analyzed the results of the UV absorption studies and scaled the reported values of the rate 

constant to the UV absorption cross sections reported in their paper. When scaled in this manner, the room 

temperature rate constant values reported in the UV absorption studies (Sander and Watson [1023], Mauldin 

et al. [793], Bridier et al. [151], Rowley et al. [1009], Laszlo et al. [683], and Gilles et al.) come into very 

good agreement among themselves and also with results of the mass spectrometric studies of Clyne and 

Watson [261] and Lancar et al. [677]. This provides the basis for the reommended room temperature value.
1-79

The temperature dependence is based on results of Sander and Watson, Turnipseed et al. [1204] and Gilles et 

al. 

There are two possible bimolecular channels for this reaction:BrO + BrO → 2Br + O2 (k1) and BrO + BrO →

Br2 + O2 (k2). The partitioning of the total rate constant into its two components, k1 and k2, has been measured 

at room temperature by Sander and Watson [1023], Turnipseed et al. [1204] and Lancar et al. [677], by Jaffe 

and Mainquist [568] from 258 to 333 K, by Cox et al. [292] from 278 to 348 K and by Mauldin et al. [793] 

from 220 to 298 K. All are in agreement that k1/k = 0.85±0.03 at 298 K. From the values of k1/k = 0.85 at 

298 K (all studies) and 0.68 at 220 K (Mauldin et al. and Cox et al. extrapolated), one can derive the temperature-dependent expression k1/k = 1.60 exp(–190/T). From the recommended Arrhenius expression for the 

overall rate constant k = k1 + k2 and the expression for the branching ratio k1/k, one can derive the following 

Arrhenius expressions for the individual reaction channels: k1 = 2.4 × 10–12 exp(40/T) cm3

 molecule–1s

–1 and 

k2 = 2.8 × 10–14 exp(860/T) cm3

 molecule–1s

–1. 

G42. CH2BrO2 + NO. The recommendation is based on the 298 K measurement of Sehested et al. [1051], who 

used pulsed radiolysis with UV absorption detection of the NO2 product formation rate. The temperature 

dependence is estimated based on analogy to similar RO2 + NO reactions. The CH2BrO product has been 

shown to undergo rapid unimolecular decomposition to yield CH2O + Br by Chen et al. [216] and Orlando et 

al. [919] The domination of this channel over the reaction of CH2BrO with O2 is consistent with the fate of 

other alkoxy radicals (Chen et al. and Orlando et al.), but contradicts the earlier result of Nielson et al. [878]. 

H1. O + I2.Based on the room temperature data of Ray and Watson [996] and Laszlo et al. [684]. The molecular 

beam study of Parrish and Herschbach [931] suggests a zero activation energy, consistent with the near gas 

kinetic value of k at 298 K. 

H2. O + IO.Based on results of Laszlo et al. [684], the only reported study of this rate constant. This value was 

derived from modeling a system in which the concentrations of I2 and IO were monitored simultaneously.

This rate constant is a factor of 4 greater than the values for the corresponding reactions of O with ClO and 

BrO. 

H3. OH + I2.Based on the data of Loewenstein and Anderson [751] and Jenkin et al. [575]. 

H4. OH + HI.Based on the data of Lancar et al. [679] and MacLeod et al. [765]. 

H5. OH + CH3I. The recommended rate expression is derived from a fit to the data of Brown et al. [155], the only 

reported study of this reaction. 

H6. OH + CF3I. The recommended rate expression is derived from a fit to the data of Gilles et al. [437]. The 

results from the studies by Garraway and Donovan [422] and Berry et al. [114] were not used in deriving the 

recommendation as the results were possibly influenced by reactant photolysis. The room temperature value 

from the discharge flow/resonance fluorescence study of Brown et al. [155]agrees within the 2σ limits. 

H7. HO2 + I.Based on the data of Jenkin et al. [580], the only reported study of this reaction. 

H8. HO2 + IO. The recommended value is the average of the values reported by Jenkin et al. [579] and Maguin et 

al. [768]. 

H9. NO3 + HI. No recommendation is given, based on the potential for severe complications resulting from 

secondary chemistry in the only reported study of the reaction (Lancar et al. [679]). 

H10. Cl + CH3I. This reaction, thought to be a simple H abstraction reaction, has been shown by Ayhens et al. [53] 

to be quite complex. At low temperatures, Cl atom reversibly adds to CH3I to form CH3ICl. Thus, there are at 

least two channels for this reaction, 

Cl + CH3I → CH2I + HCl (a) 

Cl + CH3I ↔ CH3ICl (b) 

The rate coefficient for channel (a) has been measured by Ayhens et al. above 364 K, Kambanis et al. [605] 

between 273 and 363 K, Bilde and Wallington [125] at 298 K, and Cotter et al. [273] at 298 K. The 

recommendation is based on these studies. 

Under atmospheric conditions reaction (b) to form the adduct is about two orders of magnitude faster than 

reaction (a). However, the fate of the CH3ICl adduct in the atmosphere is unclear.Its lifetime, based on the 

studies of Ayhens et al., can be as long as a few seconds at 200 K and a few hundred Torr pressure.

Therefore, it is possible that it could react with O2 or be photolyzed. At 298 K, in one atmosphere of O2, it 

appears that the overall fate of the CH3ClI is to decompose back to the reactants, based on the work of Bilde 

and Wallington [125]. Therefore, if O2 were to react with CH3ICl, this rate coefficient has to be less than 

about 
1-80

10–17 cm3 molecule–1 s–1 , using the rate coefficient for its decomposition measured by Ayhens et al.If the rate 

coefficient for CH3ICl + O2 were to remain approximately the same, i.e., 10–17 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1, at lower 

temperatures, the possible loss of CH3ICl via reaction with O2 cannot be ignored. Further, the possible 

atmospheric photolysis of CH3ICl may be important if it has a J-value greater than 0.1 s–1.

There is a third possible product channel for this reaction to yield CH3Cl + I (Goliff and Rowland [446]).

Based on the results of Bilde and Wallington and Goliff and Rowland, we recommend that the rate 

coefficient for the Cl + CH3I →CH3Cl + I reaction to be less than 0.2ka at 298 K. Since such a reaction is 

likely to have a significant barrier in the gas phase, even though it is exothermic by ~14 kcal mol–1 at 298 K, 

the branching ratio for the production of CH3Cl and I in the atmosphere will be likely less than that at 298 K. 

H11. I + O3.Based on the room temperature data of Jenkin and Cox [576] and Sander [1017], and the temperature 

dependent data of Buben et al. [164] and Turnipseed et al. [1207]. 

H12. I + BrO.Based on results of Laszlo et al. [683], the only reported study of this rate constant. This value was 

derived from modeling the simultaneous decay of BrO and IO in a Br2/I2/N2O system. 

H13. IO + NO.Based on the data of Ray and Watson [996], Daykin and Wine [322], Buben et al. [165], and 

Turnipseed et al. [1207]. 

H14. IO + ClO.Based on results of Turnipseed et al. [1206], the only reported study of this reaction. These authors 

also reported the product yield for channel(s) yielding an I atom to be 0.8 ± 0.2. 

H15. IO + BrO.Based primarily on results of Laszlo et al. [683]. Gilles et al. [438] reported the following 

Arrhenius expression for non-iodine atom producing channels: 2.5 × 10–11 exp (260/T) cm3 molecule–1s

–1. They 

also reported a branching ratio of <0.35 for channels producing I atoms. From their data they could constrain 

the value of the overall rate constant to be: 6 × 10–11 < k < 10 × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1s

–1, the range of which is 

consistent with the results of Laszlo et al. 

H16. IO + IO.Changed from the previous recommendation, which was based on the results of Sander[1017].In 

that study, over the temperature range 250–373 K, a negative temperature dependence was reported for the 

overall rate constant and for the absorption cross section at 427.2 nm.In the recent study of Harwood et al. 

[485], the overall rate constant and the absorption cross section were found to be independent of temperature 

from 253 to 320 K. The recommended room temperature value is the average of the values reported by

Sander, Harwood et al., and Laszlo et al. [684]. The recommended temperaure dependence is the average of 

the values reported by Sander and by Harwood et al., with an uncertainty sufficient to encompass the two 

reported values. The A-factor has been fitted to the recommended room temperature rate constant and the 

recom-mended temperature dependence. The overall rate constant for the decay of IO in the absence of ozone 

has been found to be independent of pressure by Sander, Laszlo et al., and Harwood et al. A comparison of 

the overall rate observed in excess ozone to that in the absence of ozone was interpreted by Sander and by 

Harwood et al. to imply that formation of the dimer I2O2 is the dominant reaction channel in the IO selfreaction. 

H17. INO + INO.Based on the data of Van den Bergh and Troe [1225]. 

H18. INO2 + INO2.Based on the data of Van den Bergh and Troe [1225]. 

I1. O + SH. This recommendation accepts the results of Cupitt and Glass [296]. The large uncertainty reflects the 

absence of any confirming investigation. 

I2. O + CS. The room temperature recommendation is an average of the rate constants determined by Slagle et 

al. [1087], Bida et al. [118], Lilenfeld and Richardson [737], and Hancock and Smith [479]. The temperature 

dependence is that of Lilenfeld and Richardson, with the A-factor adjusted to yield the recommended value 

of k(298 K). 

I3. O + H2S. This recommendation is derived from an unweighted least squares fit of the data of Singleton et al. 

[1079] and Whytock et al. [1304]. The results of Slagle et al. [1085] show very good agreement for E/R in 

the temperature region of overlap (300 – 500 K) but lie systematically higher at every temperature. The 

uncertainty factor at 298 K has been chosen to encompass the room temperature rate constant values of 

Slagle et al. [1085] and Hollinden et al. [519]. Other than the 263 K data point of Whytock et al. and the 281 

K point of Slagle et al., the main body of rate constant data below 298 K comes from the study of Hollinden 

et al., which indicates a dramatic change in E/R in this temperature region. Thus, ∆E/R was set to account for 

these observations. Such a nonlinearity in the Arrhenius plot might indicate a change in the reaction 

mechanism from abstraction (as written) to addition. An addition channel (resulting in H atom displacement) 

has been proposed by Slagle et al. [1085], Singleton et al. [1079], and Singleton et al. [1081]. In the latter two 

studies, an upper limit of 20% was placed on the displacement channel. Direct observations of product HSO 

was made in the reactive scattering experiments of Clemo et al. [235] and Davidson et al. [307]. A threshold 
1-81

energy of 3.3 kcal/mole was observed (similar to the activation energy measured in earlier studies), 

suggesting the importance of this direct displacement channel. Addition products from this reaction have 

been seen in a matrix by Smardzewski and Lin [1090]. Further kinetic studies in the 200–300-K temperature 

range, as well as quantitative direct mechanistic information, could clarify these issues. However, this 

reaction is thought to be of limited importance in stratospheric chemistry. 

I4. O + OCS. The value of k(298 K) is the average of the determinations by Westenberg and de Haas [1296], 

Klemm and Stief [637], Wei and Timmons [1292], Manning et al. [771], and Breckenridge and Miller [150].

The recommended value of E/R is the average value taken from the first three listed studies. Hsu et al. [536] 

report that this reaction proceeds exclusively by a stripping mechanism. The vibrational and rotational state 

distributions in the SO and CO products have been reported by Chen et al. [222] and Nickolaisen et al. [866] 

respectively. 

I5. O + CS2. The value of k(298 K) is an average of the rate constants determined by Wei and Timmons [1292], 

Westenberg and de Haas [1296], Slagle et al. [1086], Callear and Smith [188], Callear and Hedges [187], 

Homann et al. [520], and Graham and Gutman [449]. The E/R value is an average of the determinations by 

Wei and Timmons and Graham and Gutman. The g value has been set to encompass the limited temperature 

data of Westenberg and de Haas. The principal reaction products are thought to be CS + SO. However, Hsu et 

al. [536] report that 1.4% of the reaction at 298 K proceeds through a channel yielding CO + S2 and calculate 

a rate constant for the overall process in agreement with that recommended. Graham and Gutman [449] have 

found that 9.6% of the reaction proceeds to yield OCS + S at room temperature. Using time-resolved diode 

laser spectroscopy, Cooper and Hershberger [272] determined the branching ratios for the CO and OCS 

producing channels to be (3.0±1.0)% and (8.5±1.0)% respectively. 

I6. O + CH3SCH3. This recommendation is based on a fit of the data from Nip et al. [897], Lee et al. [700], and 

Lee et al. [699]. Product studies by Cvetanovic et al. [297] indicate that the reaction proceeds almost entirely 

by addition followed by rapid fragmentation to the products as written. Pavanaja et al. [936] examined the 

pressure and reactant ratio dependencies of OH(A2

Σ+) and SO2(

3

B, 1B) emissions in this reaction system.

Their observations are consistent with initial product formation as written, followed by secondary generation 

of both OH and SO2. 

I7. O + CH3SSCH3. This recommendation averages the 298 K rate constants of Nip et al. [897] and Lee et al. 

[696], which differ by nearly a factor of 2. The temperature dependence is that of Nip et al.; Lee et al. having 

reported no temperature dependence over the limited range of 270–329 K. The A-factor has been adjusted to 

yield the recommended (averaged) value of k(298 K). Product studies by Cvetanovic et al. [297] indicate that 

the reaction proceeds mainly by addition followed by rapid fragmentation to the products as written. Pavanaja 

et al. [936] examined the pressure and reactant ratio dependencies of OH(A2

Σ+) and SO2(

3

B, 1B) emissions in 

this reaction system. Their observations are consistent with initial product formation as written, followed by 

secondary generation of both OH and SO2. 

I8. O3 + H2S. This upper limit was determined by Becker et al. [96] from measurements of the rates of SO2

production and O3 consumption. The heterogeneous reaction between H2S and O3 is far more efficient in 

most laboratory systems. 

I9. O3 + CH3SCH3. This rate constant upper limit is based on the measurements of Martinez and Herron [789], 

which represent the only reported study of this reaction. 

I10. SO2 + O3. This recommendation is based on the limited data of Davis et al. [318] at 300 K and 360 K in a 

stopped flow investigation using mass spectrometric and UV spectroscopic detection. 

I11. OH + H2S. The values of k(298 K) and E/R are derived from a composite unweighted least squares fit to the 

individual data points of Perry et al. [943], Cox and Sheppard [291], Wine et al. [1313], Leu and Smith [723], 

Michael et al. [819], Lin [738], Lin et al. [742], Barnes et al. [63], and Lafage et al. [674]. The studies of Leu 

and Smith [723], Lin et al. [742], Lin [738], and Lafage et al. [674] show a slight parabolic temperature 

dependence of k with a minimum occurring near room temperature. However, with the error limits stated in 

this evaluation, all data are fit reasonably well by an Arrhenius expression. Lafage et al. and Michael et al. 

discuss the results in terms of a two-channel reaction scheme involving direct H atom abstraction and 

complex (adduct) formation. Lafage et al. analyzed their results above room temperature to yield an apparent 

E/R = 400 K for the abstraction channel, in good agreement with the E/R value determined above room 

temperature by Westenberg and de Haas [1297]. The results of these latter workers lie systematically higher 

(by about 70%), presumably due to secondary reactions. The room temperature value measured by Stuhl 

[1126] lies just outside the 2σ error limit set for k(298 K). 

I12. OH + OCS. The value of k(298 K) is an average of the determinations by Wahner and Ravishankara [1243] 

and Cheng and Lee [223]. The room temperature rate constants from these studies are a factor of 3 higher 
1-82

than the earlier determination by Leu and Smith [722]. As discussed in the later studies, this difference may 

be due to an overcorrection of the Leu and Smith data to account for OH reaction with H2S impurities and 

also to possible regeneration of OH. Nevertheless, the uncertainty factor at 298 K has been set to encompass 

the earlier study within 2σ. The work by Wahner and Ravishankara [1243] supersedes the study of 

Ravishankara et al. [982], which minimized complications due to secondary and/or excited state reactions 

that presumably were interfering with the experiments of Atkinson et al. [45] and of Kurylo [663]. The upper 

limit for 

k(298 K) reported by Cox and Sheppard [291] is too insensitive to permit comparison with the more recent 

studies. The room temperature measurements of Wahner and Ravishankara demonstrate the lack of an effect 

of total pressure (or O2 partial pressure) on the rate constant and are supported by the more limited pressure 

and O2 studies of Cheng and Lee. The recommendation for E/R is based on the study of Cheng and Lee who 

determined a value considerably lower than reported by Leu and Smith, although this difference may be due 

in part to the earlier mentioned overcorrection of the data by the latter authors. 

Product observations by Leu and Smith indicate that SH is a primary product of this reaction and tentatively 

confirm the suggestion of Kurylo and Laufer [669] that the predominant reaction pathway is to produce 

SH + CO2 through a complex (adduct) mechanism similar to that observed for the OH + CS2 reaction.

However, the absence of an O2/pressure effect for OH + OCS is in marked contrast with the strong 

dependence seen in studies of OH + CS2 (see note for the latter reaction). 

Experiments by Greenblatt and Howard [454] have shown that oxygen atom exchange in the reaction of 18OH with OCS is relatively unimportant, leading to an upper limit of 10–15 being set on the rate constant of 

the exchange reaction. 

I13. OH + CS2. There is a consensus of experimental evidence that this reaction proceeds very slowly as a direct 

bimolecular process. Wine et al. [1322] set an upper limit on k(298 K) of 1.5 × 10–15 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1. A 

consistent upper limit is also reported by Iyer and Rowland [565] for the rate of direct product of OCS, 

suggesting that OCS and SH are primary products of the bimolecular process. This mechanistic interpretation 

is further supported by the studies of Leu and Smith [724] and of Biermann et al. [120], which set somewhat 

higher upper limits on k(298 K). The more rapid reaction rates measured by Atkinson et al. [45], Kurylo 

[663], and Cox and Sheppard [291] may be attributable to severe complications arising from excited state and 

secondary chemistry in their photolytic systems. The Cox and Sheppard study in particular may have been 

affected by the reaction of electronically excited CS2 (produced via the 350 nm photolysis) with O2 (in the 1-

atm synthetic air mixture) as well as by the accelerating effect of O2 on the OH + CS2 reaction itself, which 

has been observed by other workers as summarized below. The possible importance of electronically excited 

CS2 reactions in the tropospheric oxidation of CS2 to OCS has been discussed by Wine et al. [1312]. 

An accelerating effect of O2 on the OH + CS2 reaction rate has been observed by Jones et al. [594], Barnes et 

al. [69], and Hynes et al. [553], along with a near unity product yield for SO2 and OCS.In the latter two 

studies the effective bimolecular rate constant was found to be a function of total pressure (O2 + N2), and 

exhibited an appreciably negative temperature dependence. These observations are consistent with the 

formation of a long-lived adduct as postulated by Kurylo [663] and Kurylo and Laufer [669] followed by its 

reaction with O2: 

OH + CS2 + M a

b

k

k ←

→ HOCS2 + M 

HOCS2 + O2 c k → Products 

Hynes et al. [553], Murrells et al. [842], Becker et al. [97], and Bulatov et al. [167] directly observed the 

approach to equilibrium in this reversible adduct formation.In the Hynes et al. study, the equilibrium 

constant was measured as a function of temperature, and the heat of formation of HOCS2 was calculated 

(–27.4 kcal/mole). A rearrangement of this adduct followed by dissociation into OCS and SH corresponds to 

the bimolecular (low k) channel referred to earlier. Hynes et al. [553] measured the rate constant for this 

process in the absence of O2 (at approximately one atmosphere of N2) to be < 8 × 10–16 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1.

Hynes et al. [553], Murrells et al. [842], and Diau and Lee [345] agree quite well on the value of kc, with an 

average value of 2.9 × 10–14 being reported independent of temperature and pressure. Diau and Lee also 

report the rate constants for the reactions of the adduct (CS2OH) with NO and NO2 to be 7.3 × 10–13 and 4.2 × 

10–11 respectively. 

The effective second order rate constant for CS2 or OH removal in the above reaction scheme can be 

expressed as 

1/keff = (kb/kakc)(1/PO2) + (1/ka)(1/PM) 
1-83

 where PO2 is the partial pressure of O2 and PM equals PO2 + PN2. The validity of this expression requires that ka

and kb are invariant with the PO2

/PN2 ratio. A 1/k vs 1/PO2 plot of the data of Jones et al. [594] taken at 

atmospheric pressure exhibits marked curvature, suggesting a more complex mechanistic involvement of O2, 

whereas the data of Barnes et al. [69] and Hynes et al. [553] are more satisfactorily represented by this 

analytical expression. Nevertheless, while the qualitative features of the data from all three laboratories agree, 

there are some quantitative inconsistencies. First, under similar conditions of O2 and N2 pressures, the Barnes 

et al. rate constants lie approximately 60% higher than those of Jones et al. and up to a factor of 2 higher than 

those derived by Hynes et al. Secondly, two fits each of both the Barnes et al. and Hynes et al. data can be 

made: one at fixed PM and varying PO2

, and the other at fixed PO2 and varying PM (i.e., varying added N2).

Within each data set, rate constants calculated from both fits agree reasonably well for mole fractions of O2

near 0.2 (equivalent to air) but disagree by more than a factor of 2 for measurements in a pure O2 system.

Finally, the temperature dependence (from 264–293 K) of the keff values from Barnes et al. varies systematiccally from an E/R of –1300 K for experiments in pure O2 (at 700 torr total pressure) to –2900 K for experiments in a 50 torr O2 plus 650 torr N2 mixture. An Arrhenius fit of the Hynes et al. data (from 251–348 K) 

recorded in synthetic air at 690 torr yields an E/R = –3300 K, although the data show marked curvature over 

the temperature range of study. These observations suggest that ka and kb may not be independent of the 

identity of M. For this reason, we limit our recommendation to air mixtures (i.e., PO2

/PN2 = 0.25) at 

atmospheric pressure. Since most CS2 is oxidized within the atmospheric boundary layer, such restriction 

does not limit the applicability of this recommendation in atmospheric modeling. 

The present recommendation accepts the measurements of Hynes et al. [553], which appear to be the most 

sensitive of the three investigations. Thus, k(298 K) is derived from the Arrhenius fit of the data near room 

temperature. 

k(298 K) = 1.2 × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1

The uncertainty factor, f(298 K) = 1.5, encompasses the results of Barnes et al. [69] within 2σ. To compute 

values of k below 298 K, we have accepted the analysis of Hynes et al. 

k(T) = {1.25 × 10–16 exp(4550/T)}/{T + 1.81 × 10–3 exp(3400/T)} 

This recommendation is only valid for one atmosphere pressure of air.It is interesting to note that 

measurements by Hynes et al. [553] at approximately 250 K and 700 torr total pressure result in keff values 

that are independent of the amount of O2 for partial pressures between 145–680 torr. This suggests that the 

adduct is quite stable with respect to dissociation into the reactants (OH + CS2) at this low temperature and 

the that effective rate constant for reactant removal approaches the elementary rate constant for adduct 

formation. 

From a mechanistic viewpoint, the primary products of reaction c determine the products of CS2 oxidation in 

air. Lovejoy et al. [757] have shown that the yields of both HO2 and SO2 are equal and near unity. Together 

with the earlier mentioned unity yield of OCS, these observations suggest that the oxidation equation 

OH + CS2 + 2O2 → OCS + HO2 + SO2

describes this atmospheric system. Further insight is provided by the mechanistic study of Stickel et al. 

[1116], who observe OCS and CO product yields of (0.83±0.08) and (0.16±0.03) respectively. The results 

from this study are interpreted to imply that OCS and CO are formed either as primary products of the 

CS2OH + O2 reaction or as products of a secondary reaction between a primary product and O2. These same 

authors report an SO2 yield of (1.15±0.10), with the results suggesting that only about 75% of the SO2

formed as a prompt product, with the remainder generated via a slow reaction of SO (generated as a prompt 

product of the CS2OH + O2 reaction) with O2.Insight into the specific reaction pathways can be gleaned from 

the study of Lovejoy et al. [756] in which kc for the reaction of DOCS2 + O2 was found to be the same as that 

for HOCS2, indicating that simple H atom abstraction is not the likely process.Rather, HO2 production most 

likely involves complex formation followed by HO2 elimination. Lovejoy et al. [758] found that the 18O atom 

in the 18OH reactant is transferred predominantly (90 ± 20)% to the SO2 product. These findings are 

consistent with an S–O-bonded CS2–OH adduct and preservation of the S–O bond in the steps leading to SO2

formation. Additional work involving direct intermediate observations would be helpful in elucidating this 

reaction mechanism. 

I14. OH + CH3SH. This recommendation is based on a composite fit to the data of Atkinson et al. [44], Wine et al. 

[1313], Wine et al. [1323], and Hynes and Wine [551], which are in excellent agreement. The results from the 

relative rate study of Barnes et al. [63] are in agreement with this recommendation and indicate that the 

higher value of Cox and Sheppard [291] is due to complications resulting from the presence of O2 and NO in 

their reaction system. MacLeod et al. [766,767] and Lee and Tang [698] obtained rate constants at 298 K 

approximately 50% lower than recommended here.These authors also obtained lower values for the 
1-84

ethanethiol reaction in comparison with results from studies upon which the methanethiol recommendation is 

made. Wine et al. [1323] present evidence that this reaction proceeds via adduct formation to produce a 

species that is thermally stable over the temperature range and time scales of the kinetic measurements.

Tyndall and Ravishankara [1218] have determined the yield of CH3S (via laser–induced fluorescence) to be 

unity, indicating that any adduct must be short lived (less than 100 μs). Longer lifetimes would have led to 

anomalies in the OH decay kinetics used for the rate constant determinations. Hynes and Wine [551] failed to 

observe any effect of O2 on the rate constant. 

I15. OH + CH3SCH3. This recommendation is based on the results of Hynes et al. [555], Wine et al. [1313], Hsu 

et al. [540], Abbatt et al. [3], and Barone et al.[76]. The earlier higher rate constant values of Atkinson et al. 

[45] and Kurylo [662] are presumably due to reactive impurities, while those of MacLeod et al. [767] were 

most likely overestimated because of heterogeneous reactions. Absolute determinations lower than those 

recommended were obtained by Martin et al. [785], Wallington et al. [1247], and Nielsen et al. [883].While 

the reasons for these differences are not readily apparent, these results are encompassed within the 2σ error 

limits of the 298 K recommendation. Hynes et al. have demonstrated the importance of a second reaction 

channel involving addition of OH to dimethyl sulfide (approximately 30% in 1 atmosphere of air at 298 K). 

More recently, Hynes et al. and Barone et al. have examined the reaction mechanism in more detail using 

fully deuterated DMS.Both groups report similar rate constants for the bimolecular (non–adduct–forming) 

rate constant and adduct bond strengths (13.0 and 10.1 kcal/mole—Hynes et al.; 10.2 and 10.7 kcal/mole—

Barone et al.) from second and third law calculations, respectively. Values of the rate constant for the reaction 

of the adduct with O2 were also nearly identical (8 × 10–13 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 from Hynes et al., and 10–12 cm3

molecule–1 s–1 from Barone et al for both DMS and d6

–DMS) independent of pressure and temperature. 

The recommendation given here is for the abstraction reaction only.Confirmation of the products as written 

is obtained from the study of Stickel et al. [1118] who determined an HDO product yield of (0.84±0.15) for 

the OD + CH3SCH3. Further mechanistic insight comes from the studies of Barnes et al. [72,73] and 

Turnipseed et al. [1203] who find that the abstraction product, CH3SCH2, leads predominantly to CH3S under 

atmospheric conditions.Barnes et al. measure a 0.7% yield of OCS under low NOx conditions, which they 

attribute to further oxidation of CH3S.Both Barnes et al. and Turnipseed et al. find a significant (20–30%) 

yield of dimethyl sulfoxide, apparently produced via the reaction of the DMS–OH adduct with O2. Zhao et al. 

[1372] determined an upper yield of 0.07 for CH3 elimination in the OD + CH3SCH3 reaction system. 

Due to the rapid decomposition of a DMS–OH adduct, only the direct abstraction channel is measured in the 

absence of O2. The reaction of the adduct with O2, as quantified most recently by Hynes et al. and Barone et 

al., is responsible for the majority of the products formed in the atmospheric oxidation of DMS. An increase 

in the observed rate constant (kobs) with increasing O2 concentration has clearly been observed by Hynes et al. 

[555], Wallington et al. [1247], Barnes et al. [62], Nielsen et al. [883], Barone et al. [76], and Hynes et al. 

[550]. This O2 effect has been suggested as an explanation for the higher rate constants obtained in many of 

the earlier relative rate studies. Hynes et al. give the following expression for the observed rate constant in 

one atmosphere of air: 

10 10

obs 11

T exp( 234 / T) 8.46x10 exp(7230 / T) 2.68x10 exp(7810 / T) k

1.04x10 T 88.1exp(7460 / T)

− − −+ + = +

This expression was derived empirically from the analysis of a complex data set, which also yielded a value 

of the rate constant for reaction of the adduct with O2 that was a factor of 4 larger than the values derived by 

Hynes et al. [550] and Barone et al. [76] and appeared to be both pressure and temperature dependent. The 

effect of these revisions in the adduct + O2 rate constant on the kobs expression is not easily ascertained. 

I16. OH + CH3SSCH3. This recommendation is based on the temperature–dependent studies of Wine et al. [1313] 

and Abbatt et al. [3] and the room temperature relative rate study of Cox and Sheppard [291]. Domine and 

Ravishankara [361] have observed both CH3S (via laser–induced fluorescence) and CH3SOH (via photoionization mass spectrometry) as products of this reaction. At 298 K, the yield of CH3S alone was quantified 

at approximately 30%. An FTIR product study of the photooxidation of dimethyl disulfide by Barnes et al. 

[71] presents evidence that oxidation of the CH3SOH product is the principal source of the methane sulfonic 

acid observed. 

I17. OH + S. This recommendation is based on the study by Jourdain et al. [596]. Their measured value for k(298 

K) compares favorably with the recommended value of k(O + OH) when one considers the slightly greater 

exothermicity of the present reaction. 

I18. OH + SO. The value recommended for k(298 K) is an average of the determinations by Fair and Thrush [380] 

and Jourdain et al. [596].Both sets of data have been corrected using the present recommendation for the O + 

OH reaction. 
1-85

I19. HO2 + H2S, HO2 + CH3SH, HO2 + CH3SCH3. These upper limits are taken from the discharge flow laser 

magnetic resonance study of Mellouki and Ravishankara [808]. The H2S value disagrees with the rate 

constant reported by Bulatov et al. [171] by approximately three orders of magnitude. The reason for this 

difference is not readily apparent. However, the recommended upper limit is consistent with the values for 

CH3SH and CH3SCH3, which respectively agree with upper limits from the work of Barnes et al. [63] and 

Niki (reported as a private communication in the Mellouki and Ravishankara paper). 

I20. HO2 + SO2. This upper limit is based on the atmospheric pressure study of Graham et al. [452]. A low 

pressure laser magnetic resonance study by Burrows et al. [176] places a somewhat higher upper limit on 

k(298 K) of 4 × 10–17 (determined relative to OH + H2O2). Their limit is based on the assumption that the 

products are OH and SO3. The weight of evidence from both studies suggests an error in the earlier 

determination by Payne et al. [938]. 

I21. NO2 + SO2. This recommendation is based on the study of Penzhorn and Canosa [940] using second 

derivative UV spectroscopy. While these authors actually report a measured value for k(298 K), their 

observations of strong heterogeneous and water vapor catalyzed effects prompt us to accept their 

measurement as an upper limit. This value is approximately two orders of magnitude lower than that for a 

dark reaction observed by Jaffe and Klein [567], much of which may have been due to heterogeneous 

processes. Penzhorn and Canosa suggest that the products of this reaction are NO + SO3. 

I22. NO3 + H2S. This recommendation accepts the upper limit set by Dlugokencky and Howard [348] based on 

experiments in which NO3 loss was followed in the presence of large concentrations of H2S. Less sensitive 

upper limits for the rate constant have been reported by Wallington et al. [1249] and Cantrell et al. [197]. 

I23. NO3 + OCS. This upper limit is based on the relative rate data of MacLeod et al. [764]. 

I24. NO3 + CS2. This upper limit is based on the study of Burrows et al. [180]. A somewhat higher upper limit was 

derived in the relative rate data of MacLeod et al. [764]. 

I25. NO3 + CH3SH. The recommended values are derived from a composite fit to the data of Wallington et al. 

[1249], Rahman et al. [975], and Dlugokencky and Howard [348]. The room temperature rate constant 

derived in the relative rate experiments of MacLeod et al. [764] is in good agreement with the recommended 

value. The suite of investigations shows the rate constant to be pressure independent over the range 

1–700 torr. Dlugokencky and Howard place an upper limit of 5% on the production of NO2 via this reaction 

at low pressure.Based on the product distribution observed in their investigation, Jensen et al. [583] propose 

a reaction mechanism initiated by abstraction of the hydrogen atom from the SH group, possibly after 

formation of an initial adduct as suggested by Wallington et al. and Dlugokencky and Howard. 

I26. NO3 + CH3SCH3. The recommended values are derived from a composite fit to the data of Wallington et al. 

[1249], Tyndall et al. [1209], and Dlugokencky and Howard [348]. The relative rate study of Atkinson et al. 

[47] yields a rate constant at room temperature in good agreement with that recommended. The experimental 

data from all investigations demonstrate the pressure independence of the rate constant over the range 

1–740 torr.Room temperature investigations by Daykin and Wine [323] and Wallington et al. [1250] are also 

in agreement with the recommended value. Jensen et al. [582] propose a mechanism that involves hydrogen 

abstraction as the first step to explain their observed product distribution.In a later study, Jensen et al. [583] 

measured a kinetic isotope effect for the rate constant for CH3SCH3 vs. that for CD3SCD3 of 

kH/kD = (3.8±0.6), providing further confirmation of such abstraction.Butkovskaya and Le Bras [182] 

utilized chemical titration of the primary radical produced from NO3 + CH3SCH3 in a discharge flow mass 

spectrometer system to show that the reaction produces predominantly CH3SCH2 + HNO3. An upper limit of 

2% was placed on the reaction channel yielding CH3 + CH3SONO2. 

I27. NO3 + CH3SSCH3. The recommended values were derived from a composite fit to the data of Wallington et 

al. [1249] and Dlugokencky and Howard [348]. The investigation by Atkinson et al. [39] indicates that the 

relative rate technique cannot be considered as yielding reliable rate data for this reaction due to chemical 

complexities. Thus, the much lower room temperature results from the study of MacLeod et al. [764] can be 

considered to be erroneous.Based on their observations of intermediate and end products, Jensen et al. [583] 

proposed a reaction mechanism in which the initial addition of NO3 to one of the sulfur atoms results in 

formation of CH3S + CH3SO + NO2. 

I28. NO3 + SO2. This recommended upper limit for k(298 K) is based on the study by Daubendiek and Calvert 

[305].Considerably higher upper limits have been derived by Burrows et al. [180], Wallington et al. [1249], 

Canosa–Mas et al. [192], and Dlugokencky and Howard [348]. 

I29. N2O5 + CH3SCH3. This recommendation is based on the value estimated by Tyndall and Ravishankara [1219] 

from the study by Atkinson et al. [47]. 
1-86

I30. CH3O2 + SO2. This recommendation accepts the results from the study of Sander and Watson [1022], which 

is believed to be the most appropriate for stratospheric modeling purposes. These authors conducted 

experiments using much lower CH3O2 concentrations than employed in the earlier investigations of Sanhueza 

et al. [1027] and Kan et al. [607], both of which resulted in k(298 K) values approximately 100 times greater.

A later report by Kan et al. [606] postulates that these differences are due to the reactive removal of the 

CH3O2SO2 adduct at high CH3O2 concentrations prior to its reversible decomposition into CH3O2 and SO2.

They suggest that such behavior of CH3O2SO2 or its equilibrated adduct with O2 (CH3O2SO2O2) would be 

expected in the studies yielding high k values, while decomposition of CH3O2SO2 into reactants would 

dominate in the Sander and Watson experiments.It does not appear likely that such secondary reactions 

involving CH3O2, NO, or other radical species would be rapid enough, if they occur under normal 

stratospheric conditions to compete with the adduct decomposition. This interpretation, unfortunately, does 

not explain the high rate constant derived by Cocks et al. [265] under conditions of low [CH3O2]. 

I31. F + CH3SCH3. This recommendation is based on the discharge flow mass spectrometric study by 

Butkovskaya et al. [183]. The uncertainty placed on this recommendation has been increased over that 

estimated by the authors to reflect the lack of any confirming investigations. Titration of the primary organic 

radical products indicated that the reaction proceeds via two channels to produce HF + CH3SCH2 and CH3 + 

CH3SF with a branching ratio of approximately 0.8/0.2 respectively. 

I32. Cl + H2S. This recommendation is based on the study by Nicovich et al. [870], who conducted an elaborate 

study with attention to sources of possible systematic error. The rate constant at 298 K is in good agreement 

with that determined by Nesbitt and Leone [857], who refined the data of Braithwaite and Leone [149], but is 

significantly greater than the values reported by Clyne and Ono [256], Clyne et al. [247], and Nava et al. 

[847]. The small, but clearly observed, negative activation energy determined by Nicovich et al. contrasts 

with the lack of a temperature dependence observed by Nava et al..In fact, at the lowest temperature of 

overlap, the results from these two studies differ by 50%. Nevertheless, the Nicovich et al.study yields 

consistent results for both H2S and CH3SH as well as for D2S and CD3SD. While the reason for these 

differences remains to be determined, the full range of reported values is encompassed within the 2σ error 

limits recommended. Lu et al. [761] also measured a temperature–independent rate constant but report a value 

at 298 K, about 40% greater than that of Nicovich et al. However, the presence of 4000 torr of CF3Cl bath gas 

in the Lu et al. may suggest a slight pressure dependence of the reaction, although Nicovich et al. observed no 

pressure dependence for pressures ranging up to 600 torr with N2. 

I33. Cl + OCS. This upper limit is based on the minimum detectable decrease in atomic chlorine measured by 

Eibling and Kaufman [376].Based on the observation of product SCl, these authors set a lower limit on 

k(298 K) of 10–18 for this reaction channel.Considerably higher upper limits on k(298 K) were determined in 

the studies of Clyne et al. [247] and Nava et al. [847]. 

I34. Cl + CS2. This upper limit for the overall reaction is based on determinations by Nicovich et al. [869] and 

Wallington et al. [1246]. The first authors confirm that the reaction proceeds via reversible adduct formation 

as suggested by Martin et al. [783]. The much larger rate constant values determined by Martin et al. may 

possibly be attributed to reactive impurities in the CS2 sample. Nicovich et al. set an upper limit on the rate 

constant for the adduct (CS2Cl) reacting with O2 of 2.5 × 10–16 at room temperature. 

I35. Cl + CH3SH. This recommendation is based on the results of Nicovich et al. [870], who used laser photolysis 

with resonance fluorescence detection to study the reactions of Cl with H2S, D2S, CH3SH, and CD3SD. The 

room temperature determination by Nesbitt and Leone [857] is in good agreement with the value 

recommended. The k(298 K) value from the study by Mellouki et al. [804] is nearly a factor of 2 lower.

However, the low sensitivity of EPR detection of Cl atoms did not permit these latter authors to conduct a 

precise determination of k under pseudo–first–order conditions, and a more complex analysis of experiments 

conducted under second–order conditions was required. Nesbitt and Leone [858] report that less than 2% of 

the reaction occurs via abstraction of an H atom from the CH3 group. 

I36. Cl + CH3SCH3. Stickel et al. [1117] have used laser photolysis resonance fluorescence to measure that rate 

constant between 240–421 K, over the pressure range of 3–700 torr. The rate constant is near collisional but 

increases with increasing pressure from a low pressure limit of 1.8×10–10 to a value of 3.3×10–10 at 700 torr.

The yield of HCl at 297 K, measured by diode laser spectroscopy, decreased from near unity at low pressure 

to a value of approximately 0.5 at 203 torr, suggesting that stabilization of a (CH3)2SCl adduct becomes 

competitive with hydrogen atom abstraction with increasing pressure. These investigators also observed a 

negative temperature dependence for the reaction.Butkovskaya et al. [183] conducted a discharge flow mass 

spectrometric study at 298 K, in which they determined that the reaction proceeds to form HCl + CH3SCH2

almost exclusively at 1 torr total pressure. The sum of all other possible channels was estimated at less than 

3%. Zhao et al. [1372] used laser photolysis coupled with CH3 detection by time–resolved tunable diode laser 
1-87

absorption spectroscopy to determine an upper limit for CH3 elimination at 298 K and pressures between 

10–30 torr.Room temperature measurements by Nielsen et al. [882] at 740 torr and Kinnison et al. [626] at 

760 torr agree quite well with the results of Stickel et al. Kinnison et al. also observed the rate constant to 

increase from 3.6 × 10–10 to 4.2 × 10–10 cm3

 molec–1 s–1 when the bath gas was changed from pure N2 to 

synthetic air,suggesting that the (CH3)2SCl adduct reacts with O2. 

I37. ClO + OCS; ClO + SO2. These recommendations are based on the discharge flow mass spectrometric data of 

Eibling and Kaufman [376]. The upper limit on k(298 K) for ClO + OCS was set from the minimum 

detectable decrease in ClO. No products were observed. The upper limit on k(298 K) for ClO + SO2 is based 

on the authors’ estimate of their SO3 detection limit. The upper limit for this same reaction based on the 

minimum detectable decrease in ClO was not used due to the potential problem of ClO reformation from the 

Cl + O3 source reaction. 

I38. ClO + CH3SCH3. This recommendation is based on the study by Barnes et al. [67] using discharge flow mass 

spectrometry. The authors prefer the present value of the rate constant to one a factor of 4 higher, which they 

determined in an earlier version of their apparatus. The uncertainty factor reflects the absence of any 

confirming investigations. 

I39. ClO + SO. The value of k(298 K) is an average of the determinations by Clyne and MacRobert [246] and 

Brunning and Stief [162]. The temperature independence is taken from the latter study with the A–factor 

recalculated to fit the k(298 K) recommendation. 

I40. Br + H2S, Br + CH3SH. These recommendations are based on the study by Nicovich et al. [867] who 

measured both the forward and reverse reactions by time–resolved resonance fluorescence detection of Br 

atoms. The uncertainties placed on these recommendations have been increased over those estimated by the 

authors to reflect the absence of any confirming investigations. 

I41. Br + CH3SCH3. Wine et al. [1315] used laser photolysis resonance fluorescence to study reversible adduct 

formation in the Br + CH3SCH3 reaction system over the temperature range 260 – 310 K from which they 

derive a (CH3)2S–Br bond strength of 14.5 ± 1.2 kcal mole–1. Above 375 K, adduct decomposition is so rapid 

that the addition channel is effectively negligible. Extrapolation of these data to conditions typical of the 

springtime Arctic boundary layer (760 torr, 230 – 270 K) leads these authors to suggest that under such 

conditions, the addition of Br to CH3SCH3 proceeds with a rate constant of approximately 1.3 × 10–10 cm3

molecule–1 s–1.Researchers from the same laboratory (Jefferson et al. [573]) studied the abstraction reaction 

over the temperature range 386 – 604 K. These authors observed the reactants to be in equilibrium with the 

products HBr + CH3SCH2 and determined Arrhenius expressions for the forward and reverse reactions 

respectively of 9.0 × 10–11 exp(–2386/T) cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 and 8.6 × 10–13 exp(836/T) cm3 molecule–1 s–1.

Analysis of the equilibrium data also permitted determination of the heat of formation of CH3SCH2 (see 

Appendix 1). 

I42. BrO + CH3SCH3. This recommendation is based on the discharge flow mass spectrometric study by 

Bedjanian et al. [99], performed at 1 torr over the temperature range 233–320 K. The rate constant at 298 K is 

nearly identical to that derived by Barnes et al. [67], using a similar experimental system.Bedjanian et al. also 

determined a near unity yield for the production of dimethylsulfoxide and suggest that the reaction proceeds 

via production of an adduct that decomposes into the sulfoxide and bromine atoms. 

I43. BrO + SO. This recommendation is based on the measurements of Brunning and Stief [163] performed under 

both excess BrO and excess SO conditions. The rate constant is supported by the lower limit assigned by 

Clyne and MacRobert [246] from measurements of SO2 production. 

I44. IO + CH3SH. The value of k(298 K) comes from the study by Maguin et al. [769] using discharge flow mass 

spectrometry. The investigators establish a branching ratio near unity for the production of HOI. The 

uncertainty factor reflects the absence of any confirming investigations. 

I45. IO + CH3SCH3. This recommendation comes from the studies by Daykin and Wine [321] using laser 

photolysis absorption spectroscopy and by Maguin et al. [769] and Barnes et al. [67] using discharge flow 

mass spectroscopy. These groups obtained rate constants of ≤ 3.5 × 10–14, 1.5 × 10–14, and 8.8×10–15

respectively. The last two studies supersede earlier, less direct measurements by the same groups, which 

resulted in rate constants of 1.5 × 10–11 (Martin et al. [784]) and 3.0 × 10–11 (Barnes et al. [68]). 

I46. S + O2. This recommendation is based primarily on the study of Davis et al. [316]. Modest agreement at 298 

K is found in the studies of Fair and Thrush [380], Fair et al. [381], Donovan and Little [364], and Clyne and 

Townsend [257]. The study by Clyne and Whitefield [264], which indicates a slightly negative E/R between 

300 and 400 K, is encompassed by the assigned uncertainty limits. 
1-88

I47. S + O3. This recommendation accepts the only available experimental data of Clyne and Townsend [257].In 

this study the authors measure a value of the rate constant for S + O2 in reasonable agreement with that 

recommended above.

I48. SO + O2. This recommendation is based on the low temperature measurements of Black et al. [133,134]. The 

room temperature value accepts the results of the more recent paper as recommended by the authors. The 

uncertainties cited reflect the need for further confirmation and the fact that these results lie significantly 

higher than an extrapolation of the higher temperature data of Homann et al. [520]. A room temperature 

upper limit on k set by Breckenridge and Miller [150] is consistent with the Black et al. data. 

I49. SO + O3. The value of k(298 K) is an average of the determinations by Halstead and Thrush [474], 

Robertshaw and Smith [1004], and Black et al. [133,134] using widely different techniques. The value of E/R 

is an average of the values reported by Halstead and Thrush and Black et al. [134], with the A-factor 

recalculated to fit the recommendation for k(298 K). 

I50. SO + NO2. The value of k(298 K) is an average of the determinations by Clyne and MacRobert [245], Black 

et al. [133], and Brunning and Stief [162], which agree quite well with the rate constant calculated from the 

relative rate measurements of Clyne et al. [241]. The Arrhenius parameters are taken from Brunning and 

Stief. 

I51. SO + OClO. This recommendation is based on the room temperature study by Clyne and MacRobert [246].

The uncertainty reflects the absence of any confirming investigation. 

I52. SO3 + H2O. Several research groups have attempted to quantify the rate of sulfuric acid formation via this 

reaction in the gas phase.Reiner and Arnold [1000] placed an upper limit of 2.4 × 10–15 cm3

 molec–1 s–1 on 

the rate constant, slightly lower than that determined by Wang et al. [1274]. The inability to cite the results as 

other than an upper limit is due to the difficulty in excluding all heterogeneous effects from the experiments.

The higher rate constant reported earlier by Castleman et al. [203] may have resulted from an 

underestimation of the effects of such heterogeneous reactions. Subsequently, Reiner and Arnold [1001] 

sought to improve their rate constant determination by more detailed quantification of heterogeneous 

contributions. They derived a value of 1.2 × 10–15 cm3

 molec–1 s–1, independent of pressure (from 31–260 

mbar of synthetic air). Evidence was also obtained that H2SO4 was, indeed, the product of the reaction. 

Kolb et al. [647] attempted to measure the gas phase reaction using a turbulent flow reactor designed to 

minimize wall effects. Their results, when analyzed as representing a bimolecular reaction, support a rate 

constant between (1 – 7) × 10–15 cm3

 molec–1 s–1. However, a more considered analysis of the data indicated 

that the gas phase reaction was second order in water vapor. The reaction rate was also observed to increase 

as the temperature was lowered from 333 K to 243 K. These observations, together with calculations by 

Morokuma and Mugurama [835], led the latter authors to suggest that SO3 consumption likely involved its 

reaction with the water dimer or the reaction of SO3

.

H2O + H2O, leading to the formation of sulfuric acid. 

A laminar flow reactor study by Lovejoy et al. [755] over the temperature range 256–360 K also revealed 

SO3 loss to be second order in water concentration and independent of pressure (from 20 to 80 torr of N2 at 

300 K). These latter authors measured a strong negative temperature dependence for the rate constant and a 

significant kinetic isotope effect (kH2O ≈ 2kD2O), leading them to describe the reaction as proceeding via the 

rapid association between SO3 and H2O followed by a slower reaction between the adduct and water to form 

sulfuric acid. Lovejoy at al.’s measurement of a –13 kcal mol–1 “activation” energy was viewed as 

energetically inconsistent with the SO3 + water dimer reaction mechanism since it would require a large 

negative activation energy for the SO3 + (H2O)2 step. The first order expression for SO3 loss derived by these 

authors is 2.26 × 10–43 T exp(6544/T) [H2O]2

 and is recommended here. 

I53. SO3 + NO2. This recommendation is based on the study of Penzhorn and Canosa [940] using second 

derivative UV spectroscopy. These authors observe the production of a white aerosol, which they interpret to 

be the adduct NSO5. This claim is supported by ESCA spectra. 

I54. SH + O2. This upper limit for k(298 K) is based on the study by Stachnik and Molina [1102] utilizing 

experiments sensitive to the production of OH. Somewhat higher upper limits of 1.0 × 10–17 and 1.5 × 10–17

were assigned by Friedl et al. [410] and Wang et al. [1272] respectively from the detection sensitivities for 

OH detection and SH decay respectively. An even higher upper limit by Black [130], based on the lack of SH 

decay, may have been complicated by SH regeneration. Much less sensitive upper limits have been calculated 

by Tiee et al. [1174], Nielsen [874], and Cupitt and Glass [296]. Stachnik and Molina [1102] also report a 

somewhat higher upper limit (< 1.0 × 10–18) for the rate constant for the sum of the two SH + O2 reaction 

channels (producing OH + SO and H + SO2). 

I55. SH + O3. The value for k(298 K) is an average of the determinations by Friedl et al. [410] (laser–induced 

fluorescence detection of SH), Schonle et al. [1041] (mass spectrometric detection of reactant SH and product 
1-89

HSO) as revised by Schindler and Benter [1034], and Wang and Howard [1271] (laser magnetic resonance 

detection of SH). The temperature dependence is from Wang and Howard with the A–factor calculated to 

agree with the recommended value for k(298 K). ∆E/R reflects the fact that the temperature dependence 

comes from measurements above room temperature and, thus, extrapolation to lower temperatures may be 

subject to additional uncertainties. Wang and Howard report observing a minor reaction channel that 

produces H + SO + O2. 

I56. SH + H2O2. This recommended upper limit for k(298 K) is based on the study of Friedl et al. [410]. Their 

value is calculated from the lack of SH decay (measured by laser–induced fluorescence) and the lack of OH 

production (measured by resonance fluorescence). The three possible product channels yield: H2S + HO2, 

HSOH + OH, and HSO + H2O. 

I57. SH + NO2. This recommendation is based on the measurements of Wang et al. [1272]. These authors suggest 

that the lower values of k(298 K) reported by Black [130], Friedl et al. [410], and Bulatov et al. [168] are due 

to SH regeneration from the H2S source compound.In the study by Stachnik and Molina [1102], attempts 

were made at minimizing such regeneration, and the reported value of k(298 K) wassignificantly higher than 

that from the earlier studies, but still 30% lower than that measured by Wang et al., who used two 

independent SH source reactions. A slightly higher rate constant measured by Schonle et al. [1041], as 

revised by Schindler and Benter [1034], has not been recommended due to the somewhat more limited 

database for their determination. The reaction as written represents the most exothermic channel.In fact, HSO 

has been detected as a product by Leu and Smith [723], Bulatov et al. [168], Schonle et al. [1041], and Wang 

et al. [1272]. The absence of a primary deuterium isotope effect, as observed by Wang et al. [1272], coupled 

with the large magnitude of the rate constant suggests that the (four–center intermediate) channels producing 

SO + HNO and OH + SNO are of minor importance. No evidence for a three–body combination reaction was 

found by either Black [130] or Friedl et al. [410].Based on a pressure independence of the rate constant 

between 30–300 torr, Black set an upper limit of 7.0 × 10–31 for the termolecular rate constant. Similarly, 

Stachnik and Molina [1102] saw no change in decay rate between 100 and 730 torr with O2 (although these 

O2 experiments were designed primarily to limit SH regeneration). The recommendation given here is 

supported by the recent discharge flow laser–induced fluorescence study of the SD + NO2 reaction by Fenter 

and Anderson [388]. These investigators report a rate constant at 298 K of 6.8 × 10–11 cm3

 molec–1 s–1, which 

compares favorably with the value of 7.1 × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 determined in the Wang et al. of the same 

reaction. Fenter and Anderson also obtained an E/R value of –210 K, very similar to the –237 K value derived 

by Wang et al. for the SH reaction. 

I58. SH + Cl2; SH + BrCl; SH + Br2; SH + F2. The recommendations for these reactions are derived from the data 

of Fenter and Anderson [387] for the SD radical. The uncertainties have been increased over those estimated 

by the investigators to reflect the absence of any confirming investigations and the influence of the secondary 

isotope effect. For the BrCl reaction, the channel producing ClSD + Br was found to be described by the rate 

expression k = 2.3 × 10–11 exp(100/T). 

I59. HSO + O2. This recommendation is based on the study by Lovejoy et al. [759], who employed laser magnetic 

resonance monitoring of HSO in a discharge flow system. The upper limit thus derived for k(298 K) is nearly 

two orders of magnitude lower than measured by Bulatov et al. [170]. 

I60. HSO + O3. This recommendation is based on the determinations by Friedl et al. [410] and Wang and Howard 

[1271].In the first study, performed at higher O3 concentrations, greater quantities of HSO were produced in 

the flow tube and SH approached a steady state due to its generation via HSO + O3. The rate constant for this 

reaction was thus determined relative to SH + O3 from measurements of the steady state SH concentration as 

a function of the initial SH concentration.In the second study, the rate constant and its branching ratio were 

measured at two temperatures. At room temperature, the overall rate constant is in excellent agreement with 

that of Friedl et al. More recently, Lee et al. [705] determined a room temperature rate constant of 4.7 × 10–14

for the sum of all reaction channels not producing HS. This value is approximately 30% greater than that 

measured by Wang and Howard for the same channels. Lee et al. derive an Arrhenius activation energy of 

1120 K for these channels from data between 273–423 K, in agreement with the more limited temperature 

data of Wang and Howard. 

The lack of an isotope effect when SD was employed in the Friedl et al. study suggests that the products of 

the HSO + O3 reaction are SH + 2O2 (analogous to those for HO2 + O3). However, Wang and Howard found 

that only 70% of the reaction leads to HS formation.In addition, their observations of HO2 production in the 

presence of O2 suggests the existence of a reaction channel producing HSO2 + O2 followed by HSO2 + O2 →

HO2 + SO2. At the present time, no recommendation is given for the product channels. Further mechanistic 

work is suggested, since it is important to understand whether this reaction in the atmosphere leads to HS 

regeneration or to oxidation of the sulfur. 
1-90

I61. HSO + NO; HSO + NO2. The recommendations for these reactions are based on the study by Lovejoy et al. 

[759] in which laser magnetic resonance was used to monitor HSO in a discharge flow system. Their upper 

limit for the NO reaction is a factor of 25 lower than the rate constant measured by Bulatov et al. [169] using 

intracavity laser absorption at pressures between 10 and 100 torr. Since it is unlikely that this reaction rate 

undergoes a factor of 25 increase between 1 torr (the pressure of the Lovejoy et al. work) and 10 torr, the 

higher rate constant may be due to secondary chemistry associated with the HSO production methods 

employed. 

The recommendation for the NO2 reaction is a factor of 2 higher than the rate constant reported by Bulatov et 

al. [168]. Lovejoy et al. have attributed this difference to HSO regeneration under the experimental 

conditions used by Bulatov et al. [168]. The product assignment for this reaction is discussed in the note for 

the HSO2 + O2 reaction. 

I62. HSO2 + O2. This recommendation is based on the rate of HO2 formation measured by Lovejoy et al. [759] 

upon addition of O2 to the HSO + NO2 reaction system. While HSO2 was not observed directly, a 

consideration of the mechanistic possibilities for HSO + NO2, coupled with measurements of the HO2

production rate at various O2 pressures, led these authors to suggest that HSO2 is both a major product of the 

HSO + NO2 reaction and a precursor for HO2 via reaction with O2. 

I63. HOSO2 + O2. This recommendation is based on the studies of Gleason et al. [444] and Gleason and Howard 

[442] in which the HOSO2 reactant was monitored using a chemical ionization mass spectrometric technique.

Gleason and Howard conducted their measurements over the 297–423 K temperature range in the only 

temperature dependence investigation. Thus, ∆E/R has been increased from their quoted limits to account for 

the potential uncertainties in extrapolating their data to sub–ambient temperatures. The value of k(298 K) 

derives further support from the studies of Margitan [774] and Martin et al. [786], both of whom used 

modeling fits of OH radical decays in the OH + SO2 + M reaction system in the presence of O2 and NO.In 

this latter analysis, the HOSO2 reacts with O2, yielding HO2, which subsequently regenerates OH through its 

reaction with NO. The infrared spectrum of HOSO2 has been recorded in low temperature matrix isolation 

experiments by Hashimoto et al. [486] and Nagase et al. [845]. Mass spectrometric detection of HOSO2 in the 

gas phase has also been reported by Egsgaard et al. [374]. 

I64. CS + O2. The recommendation given for k(298 K) is based on the work of Black et al. [132] using laser–

induced fluorescence to monitor CS. This value agrees with the somewhat less precise determination by 

Richardson [1003] using OCS formation rates. The latter author presents evidence that this reaction channel 

dominates over the one producing SO + CO by more than a factor of 10. Measurements by Richardson at 

293 K and 495 K yield an E/R of 1860 K. However, use of this activation energy with the recommended 

value of k(298 K) results in an unusually low Arrhenius A-factor of 1.5 × 10–16.In view of this, no 

recommendation is given for the temperature dependence. 

I65. CS + O3; CS + NO2. The k(298 K) recommendations for both reactions accept the results of Black et al. 

[132], who used laser–induced fluorescence to monitor the CS reactant in a room temperature experiment.

The uncertainty factors reflect the absence of any confirming measurements. 

I66. CH3S + O2. This upper limit is based on the study by Tyndall and Ravishankara [1217]. Somewhat higher 

upper limits were derived in the earlier studies of Balla et al. [60] and Black and Jusinski [131]. 

I67. CH3S + O3. This recommendation is based on the temperature–dependent study of Turnipseed et al. [1201] 

and the room temperature determinations of Tyndall and Ravishankara [1218] and Domine et al. [362].

Domine et al. measured the yield of CH3SO to be 15% at low pressure and used this value to revise the 

corrections applied in the Tyndall and Ravishankara investigation to account for CH3S regeneration by 

CH3SO + O3. A failure to observe significant reaction in the study by Black and Jusinski [131] is interpreted 

as due to rapid regeneration of CH3S in their system. The value of g has been set larger than that derived by 

Turnipseed et al. to reflect the existence of only one temperature dependence investigation. 

I68. CH3S + NO. The upper limit for the bimolecular reaction between CH3S and NO is based on estimates by 

Balla et al. [60], who conducted a temperature dependence study of the termolecular reaction. 

I69. CH3S + NO2. This recommendation is based on the temperature dependent data of Turnipseed et al. [1201] 

and the room temperature results of Tyndall and Ravishankara [1217]. The room temperature value of 

Domine et al. [360] is encompassed by the recommended uncertainty factor.The value of ∆E/R has been set 

larger than that derived by Turnipseed et al. to reflect the existence of only one temperature dependence 

investigation. An earlier study by Balla et al. [60] yielded a room temperature rate constant nearly a factor of 

two higher than the present recommendation, which may be attributed to secondary reactions at higher 

radical concentrations. Tyndall and Ravishankara determined the NO yield to be (80 ± 20)%. Together with 
1-91

the unity yield of CH3SO obtained by Domine et al., this implies that the primary reaction channel is as 

written. 

I70. CH2SH + O2. This recommendis the ation average of the rate constant obtained by Rahman et al. [976] in a 

fast flow mass spectrometer system and that from Anastasi et al. [20] using a pulse radiolysis kinetic 

absorption apparatus. The value of Anastasi et al. is nearly twice that of Rahman et al.It is difficult at present 

to indicate a preference for the results of one study over the other, and the value of f(298 K) has been chosen 

to reflect this uncertainty. Since this is a fast bimolecular reaction, one would expect the products to be HO2 + 

CH2S, by analogy with the reaction between CH2OH and O2. 

I71. CH2SH + O3. The value of k(298 K) comes from the study by Rahman et al. [976] using fast flow mass 

spectrometry. The uncertainty factor reflects the absence of any confirming investigations. 

I72. CH2SH + NO. The value of k(298 K) comes from the study by Anastasi et al. [20] using a pulse radiolysis 

kinetic absorption apparatus. The uncertainty factor reflects the absence of any confirming investigations. 

I73. CH2SH + NO2. This recommendation averages the rate constant obtained by Rahman et al. [976] in a fast 

flow mass spectrometer system with that from Anastasi et al. [20], using a pulse radiolysis kinetic absorption 

apparatus. The value of Rahman et al. is nearly twice that of Anastasi et al.It is difficult at present to indicate 

a preference for the results of one study over the other, and the value of f(298 K) has been chosen to reflect 

this uncertainty. 

I74. CH3SO + O3. This recommendation is based on the study by Domine et al. [362].It is supported by the study 

of Tyndall and Ravishankara [1218], in which the rate constant was derived from a complex analysis of the 

CH3S + O3 reaction system. Domine et al. place the direct yield of CH2SO at approximately 10% and that of 

CH3S at 13% at low pressure. 

I75. CH3SO + NO2. This recommendation is based on the direct measurements of Domine et al. [360]. The results 

are supported by somewhat less direct measurements of Tyndall and Ravishankara [1217] and Mellouki et al. 

[803]. 

I76. CH3SOO + O3, CH3SOO + NO, CH3SOO + NO2. These recommendations are based on the experiments of 

Turnipseed et al. [1201] in which CH3S was monitored by LIF in equilibrium with CH3SOO. The upper limit 

for the O3 reaction was determined from experiments at 227 K. The results for the NO and NO2 reactions 

were independent of temperature over the ranges 227–256 K and 227–246 K, respectively. The uncertainties 

placed on these recommendations have been increased over those estimated by the authors to reflect the 

absence of any confirming investigations. 

I77. CH3SO2 + NO2. This recommendation is based on the study by Ray et al. [994] using a discharge flow reactor 

equipped with laser–induced fluorescence and mass spectrometric detection. The CH3SO2 was produced by 

the sequential oxidation of CH3S and CH3SO by NO2 and is to be differentiated from the weakly bound 

adduct, CH3SOO, formed by the reaction of CH3S with O2 at low temperature (Turnipseed et al [1201]). The 

uncertainty limit on the rate constant has been increased over that given by the authors to reflect the absence 

of any confirming investigation. However, some additional support for this recommendation does come from 

the study of the CH3S + NO2 reaction by Tyndall and Ravishankara [1217]. These authors observed 

fluorescence from a product species tentatively identified as CH3SO2, produced by the reaction of CH3SO 

with NO2.Computer simulation of the rise and fall of the fluorescence signal yielded an approximate rate 

constant value for the reaction CH3SO2 + NO2 of 7.0 × 10–12 cm3

 molec–1 s–1. However, an unambiguous 

differentiation between the production and disappearance rate constants was not possible. 

I78. CH3SCH2 + NO3. This recommendation is based on the experiments of Butkovskaya and Le Bras [182]. The 

uncertainty factor reflects the absence of any confirming investigation. 

I79. CH3SCH2O2 + NO. This recommendation is based on the experiments of Wallington et al. [1257]. The 

uncertainty factor reflects the absence of any confirming investigation. 

I80. CH3SS + O3. This recommendation is based on the discharge flow photoionization mass spectroscopy study 

by Domine et al. [362]. The uncertainty factor reflects the absence of any confirming investigations. The rate 

constant ratio for the reactions of CH3SS with O3 and NO2 is consistent with the rate constant ration for the 

corresponding CH3S reactions. 

I81. CH3SS + NO2; CH3SSO + NO2. These recommendations are based on the discharge flow photoionization 

mass spectroscopy study by Domine et al. [360]. The rate constant ratio for these two reactions agrees with 

that observed for other RS/RSO radicals with NO2. The assigned uncertainties reflect this agreement but 

acknowledge the absence of any confirming investigation.In the Domine et al. study, CH3SSO was produced 

by reacting away all CH3SS with high NO2 concentrations. Thus, as expected, O atom transfer may be the 

primary channel in the CH3SS reaction. 
1-92

J1. Na + O3. The recommendation is based on the measurements of Ager et al. [13], Worsnop et al. [1333] as 

corrected in Worsnop et al. [1334], and Plane et al. [953]. The data of Worsnop et al. supersede earlier work 

from that laboratory (Silver and Kolb [1063]). Measurements made by Husain et al. [546] at 500 K are 

somewhat lower, probably because they did not recognize that secondary chemistry, NaO + O3 → Na + 2O2, 

interferes with the rate coefficient measurement. The temperature dependence is from results of Worsnop et 

al. [1334] (214–294 K) and Plane et al. [953] (208–377K). Ager et al. [13] estimate that the NaO2 + O 

product channel is ≤ 5%. Evidence that the NaO product is in the 2

Σ+ excited electronic state was reported by 

Shi et al. [1058] and Wright et al. [1335]. 

J2. Na + N2O. The recommendation incorporates the data of Husain and Marshall [545], Ager et al. [13], Plane 

and Rajasekhar [954], and Worsnop et al. [1334]. Silver and Kolb [1063] measured a rate coefficient at 

295 K that is lower and is superseded by Worsnop et al. [1334]. Helmer and Plane [497] report a 

measurement at 300 K in excellent agreement with the recommendation. Earlier, less direct studies are 

discussed by Ager et al. [13]. The NaO product does not react significantly with N2O at room temperature [k 

(for Na + N2 + O2 products) ≤ 10–16 and k (for NaO2 + N2 products) ≤ 2 × 10–15 (Ager et al.)]. Wright et al. 

[1335] used UV photoelectron spectroscopy to determine the product NaO is formed predominantly in the 

excited 2

Σ+ state. 

J3. Na + Cl2. Two measurements of the rate coefficient for this reaction are in excellent agreement: Silver [1060] 

and Talcott et al. [1147]. The recommended value is the average of these room temperature results. 

J4. NaO + O. The recommendation is based on a measurement at 573 K by Plane and Husain [952]. They 

reported that ≤ 1% of the Na product is in the 32

P excited state. 

J5. NaO + O3. This reaction was studied by Silver and Kolb [1063], Ager et al. [13], and Plane et al. [953], who 

agree on the rate coefficient and branching ratio. This agreement may be fortuitous because Silver and Kolb 

used an indirect method and an analysis based on their rate coefficient for the Na + O3 reaction, which is 

about 1/2 of the recommended value. Ager et al. employed a somewhat more direct measurement, but the 

study is complicated by a chain reaction mechanism in the Na/O3 system. Plane et al. reported rate coefficient 

measurements for the NaO2 + O2 product channel over the temperature range 207–377 K using pulsed 

photolysis LIF methods. The recommendation for that channel is based on all three studies, and the recommendation for the Na + 2O2 channel is based upon the results of Silver and Kolb and Ager et al. The latter 

reaction channel may also have a significant temperature dependence. 

J6. NaO + H2. The recommendation is based on a measurement by Ager and Howard [12]. They also reported a 

significant Na + H2O product channel and that a small fraction of the Na from this channel is in the 32

P 

excited state. 

J7. NaO + H2O. The recommendation is based on a measurement by Ager and Howard [12]. 

J8. NaO + NO. The recommendation is based on an indirect measurement reported by Ager et al. [13]. 

J9. NaO + HCl. There is only one indirect measurement of the rate coefficient for this reaction, that from the 

study by Silver et al. [1066]. They indicate that the products are NaCl and OH, although some NaOH and Cl 

production is not ruled out. 

J10. NaO2 + O. The recommendation is based on a flow tube study at 300 K by Helmer and Plane [497]. 

J11. NaO2 + NO. This reaction is endothermic. The upper limit recommended is from an experimental study by 

Ager et al. [13]. 

J12. NaO2 + HCl. The recommendation is based on a measurement reported by Silver and Kolb [1064]. They 

indicated that the products are NaCl + HO2, but NaOOH + Cl may be possible products. 

J13. NaOH + HCl. The recommendation is based on the study by Silver et al. [1066], which is the only published 

study of this reaction.

2.1 Introduction 

Rate constants for association reactions (Table 2–1) of the type A + B ↔ [AB]*

The fixed value 0.6 that appears in this formula fits the data for all listed reactions adequately, although in principle 

this quantity may be different for each reaction, and also temperature dependent. 

Thus, a compilation of rate constants of this type requires the stipulation of the four parameters, ko(300), n, 

k∞(300), and m. These can be found in Table 2–1. The discussion that follows outlines the general methods we have 

used in establishing this table, and the notes to the table discuss specific data sources.Recent advances in theory have 

allowed direct calculation of rate constants for some reactions using RRKM/Master Equation methods. 

2.2 Low-Pressure-Limiting Rate Constant, ( ) x

o k T

Troe [259] has described a simple method for obtaining low-pressure-limiting rate constants.In essence 

this method depends on the definition: 

( ) x x

o x o,sc kT k ≡ β
2-2

Here sc signifies “strong” collisions, x denotes the bath gas, and βx is an efficiency parameter (0 < βx <1), 

which provides a measure of energy transfer. 

The coefficient βx is related to the average energy transferred in a collision with gas x, 〈∆E〉x, via: 

( ) x x

x E

E

1- F kT

β

β

∆ =

Notice that 〈∆E〉 is quite sensitive to β. FE is the correction factor of the energy dependence of the density 

of states (a quantity of the order of 1.1 for most species of stratospheric interest). 

For some of the reactions of possible stratospheric interest reviewed here, there exist data in the lowpressure limit (or very close thereto), and we have chosen to evaluate and unify this data by calculating ( ) x

o k T for the 

appropriate bath gas x and computing the value of β x corresponding to the experimental value (Troe [259]). A 

compilation (Patrick and Golden [211]) gives details for many of the reactions considered here. 

From the β x values (most of which are for N2, i.e., N2 β ), we compute 〈∆E〉X according to the above 

equation. Values of N2 〈∆ 〉 E of approximately 0.3–1 kcal mole–1 are generally expected.If multiple data exist, we 

average the values of N2 〈∆ 〉 E and recommend a rate constant corresponding to the N2 β computed in the equation 

above. 

Where no data exist we have sometimes estimated the low-pressure rate constant by taking N2 β = 0.3 at 

T = 300 K, a value based on those cases where data exist. 

2.3 Temperature Dependence of Low–Pressure Limiting Rate Constants: Tn

The value of n recommended here comes from measurements or, in some cases, a calculation of N2 〈∆ 〉 E

from the data at 300 K, and a computation of N2 β (200 K) assuming that N2 〈∆ 〉 E is independent of temperature in this 

range. This N2 β (200 K) value is combined with the computed value of ko

sc (200 K) to give the expected value of the 

actual rate constant at 200 K. This latter, in combination with the value at 300 K, yields the value of n. 

This procedure can be directly compared with measured values of ko (200 K) when those exist.

Unfortunately, very few values at 200 K are available. There are often temperature-dependent studies, but some 

ambiguity exists when one attempts to extrapolate these down to 200 K.If data are to be extrapolated beyond the 

measured temperature range, a choice must be made as to the functional form of the temperature dependence. 

There are two general ways of expressing the temperature dependence of rate constants. Either the 

Arrhenius expression 

ko(T) = A exp(–E/RT) 

or the form 

ko(T) = A′ T–n 

is employed. Since neither of these extrapolation techniques is soundly based, and since they often yield values that 

differ substantially, we have used the method explained earlier as the basis of our recommendations. 

2.4 High-Pressure-Limit Rate Constants, k∞(T) 

High-pressure rate constants can often be obtained experimentally, but those for the relatively small species 

of atmospheric importance usually reach the high-pressure limit at inaccessibly high pressures. This leaves two 

sources of these numbers, the first being guesses based upon some model, and the second being extrapolation of falloff data up to higher pressures. 

Stratospheric conditions generally render reactions of interest much closer to the low-pressure limit and 

thus are fairly insensitive to the high-pressure value. This means that while the extrapolation is long, and the value of 

k∞(T) not very accurate, a “reasonable guess” of k∞(T) will then suffice.In some cases we have declined to guess since 

the low-pressure limit is effective over the entire range of stratospheric conditions. 
2-3

2.5 Temperature Dependence of High-Pressure-Limiting Rate Constants: Tm

There are very few data upon which to base a recommendation for values of m. Values in Table 2–1 are 

often estimated, based on models for the transition state of bond-association reactions and whatever data are available. 

2.6 Uncertainty Estimates 

For three-body reactions (Table 2–1) uncertainties are assigned using a procedure that is analogous to that 

employed for bimolecular reactions. Values of f(298 K) are given for these rate constants at room temperature and 

assumed to be valid at all pressures. The additional uncertainty arising from the temperature extrapolation has in 

previous evaluations been expressed as an uncertainty in the temperature coefficients n and m. In this evaluation, 

those reactions that have been re-evaluated or added have uncertainties expressed with a g-factor as in Table 1–1. In 

future evaluations we will continue to update this format.

with the study of Hippler et al. [119] and the extrapolated recommendation fits their lower pressure N2 data 

down to 100 K. High pressure studies by Croce de Cobos and Troe [72] are in agreement with this 

recommendation. Rawlins et al. [224] estimate values in Ar between 80 and 150 K from nascent vibrational 

distributions that are a factor of two higher than the recommendation extrapolated to 80 K. The temperature 

dependence of the rate constant determined from the experimental data is in excellent agreement with the value 

of n=2.36 determined from the calculations of Patrick and Golden [211]. 

Kaye [139] has calculated isotope effects for this reaction, using methods similar to those discussed in the 

Introduction of this document (see Troe [259] and Patrick and Golden [211].)Isotope effects have been 

reported by Anderson et al. [8] and Gross and Billing [111]. Measurements ofisotopic fractionation by 

Mauersberger and colleagues [288] and Thiemens and co–workers [236] reveal distinctly non–statistical 

effects. Various attempts at theoretical explanations exist [115], but the detailed knowledge of the potential 

energy surface required is unavailable. 

A2. O(1

D) + N2. Low pressure limit from Kajimoto and Cvetanovic [138]. The T dependence is obtained by 

assuming a constant β. The rate constant is extremely low in this special system due to electronic curve 

crossing. Maric and Burrows [174] extract (8.8±3.3)×10–37 cm6 s

–1 from a study of the photolysis of synthetic 

air, in agreement with the recommended value within mutual error limits. 

B1. H + O2. Kurylo [151], Wong and Davis [290] and Hsu et al. [126] are averaged to obtain the low pressure 

limiting value at 300 K. The first two studies include T dependence, as does a study by Hsu et al. [125]. The 

recommended value is chosen with constant 〈∆E〉N2 ~0.05 kcal mol–1. This very low number reflects rotational 

effects. The high pressure limit is from Cobos et al. [59]. The temperature dependence is estimated.Cobos et al. 

[59] estimate 

m = –0.6, which is within our uncertainty. High temperature measurements in Ar by Pirraglia et al. [216] are in 

good agreement. Measurements in the range 298<T/K<750 by Carleton et al. [51] agree within error limits. 

High temperature theoretical and experimental studies examining wide ranges of pressure and temperature 

[260], [24] are in good agreement with the recommendation. 

B2. OH + OH.Recommended values are from fits of measurements by Zellner et al. [297] in N2, by Forster et al. 

[99] and Fulle et al. [105] in 1–150 bar He scaled to N2. A study by Fagerstrom et al. [94] in 85–1000 mbar SF6 

gives slightly different values. A pressure independent bimolecular channel to H2O + O with a rate 

4.2×10–12 exp(–240/T) is observed (see Table 1–1). Zellner et al. used somewhat different values for this rate 

constant to make substantial corrections to their measured values.Changing to the accepted value will make 

large changes in the Zellner et al. values and it is unclear how to evaluate this.Trainor and von Rosenberg [258] 

report a value at 300 K that is lower than recommended by a factor of 2.7. 

C1. O + NO. Low pressure limit and n from direct measurements of Schieferstein et al. [237] and their re–analysis 

of the data of Whytock et al. [284]. Error limits encompass other studies. High pressure limit and m from 

Baulch et al. [26] and Baulch et al. [25], slightly modified. Hippler et al. [120] report higher values for the high 

pressure limiting rate constant. Atkinson et al. [14] use Fc =exp(–T/1850). This yields rate constants 10–20% 

higher than obtained from Table 2–1. Shock tube measurements by Yarwood et al. [293] in argon from 300–

1300 K are consistent with the values in Table 2–1. 

C2. O + NO2. Values of rate constants and temperature dependences from a combination of the study by Burkholder 

and Ravishankara [44] and that of Hahn et al. [112]. At 300K these studies almost overlap at the highest 

pressure of Burkholder and Ravishankara and the lowest pressure studied by Hahn et al.. The former values are 

larger by a factor of 2.2 under these conditions. This recommendation is in reasonable agreement with the 

evaluation of Baulch et al. [26], which fits the Hahn et al. values very well. 

C3. OH + NO. The low pressure limit rate constant has been reported by Anderson and Kaufman [6], Stuhl and Niki 

[254], Morley and Smith [185], Westenberg and de Haas [283], Anderson et al. [7], Howard and Evenson 

[124], Harris and Wayne [114], Atkinson et al. [16], Overend et al. [201], Anastasi and Smith [5], Burrows et 

al. [46] and Atkinson and Smith [11]. The general agreement is good, and the recommended values of both the 

rate constant and the temperature dependence are weighted averages. Studies by Sharkey et al. [242] and 

Donahue et al. [88] in the transition regime between low and high pressure limits are in agreement and serve to 

reduce the uncertainty. These latter studies yield a value for the high pressure limiting rate constant in 
2-9

agreement with the results of Forster et al. [99], whose study reached pressures of 100 bar in He. The 

temperature dependence of the high pressure limiting rate constant is from the data of Anastasi and Smith [5] 

and Sharkey et al.(Both cis- and trans-HONO are expected to be formed.) Fulle et al. [106] report a high 

pressure limit in agreement with Forster et al. [99]. Pagsberg et al. [202] report low pressure values in SF6 that 

are compatible (i.e. the ratio of collision efficiencies is about a factor of two.) with the recommendation. A 

study by Zabarnick [294] is noted. 

C4. OH + NO2. This reaction has been the subject of detailed study. Golden and Smith [108] concluded that there 

were two pathways, one to HONO2 (nitric acid) and the other to HOONO (pernitrous acid). They offered 

parameters in the format of this recommendation that were given in the note in JPL 00-3.[232] Donahue et al. 

[87] support the finding of two pathways in an analysis of isotopic effects. The low pressure limit and the high 

pressure limiting rate constants and their temperature dependences in JPL 00-3 are from a fit to the data of 

Anastasi and Smith [4] Wine et al. [286], Donahue et al. [88], Dransfield et al. [90], Brown et al. [39] and 

D’Ottone et al.[89].(Brown et al. report that O2 is about 30% less efficient than N2 as a collider and suggest that 

air might therefore have a total efficiency of 0.94 relative to N2) Data from Anderson et al. [7] Howard and 

Evenson [89], Burrows et al. [46], and Erler et al. [93] are in essential agreement. Data of Forster et al [99] and 

Fulle et al. [106] appear to be about 30% too high [118]. Experiments up to about 100 bar at 300 K and the 

finding of a double exponential decay of OH at 430 K and 100 bar implicate a second pathway [118]. 

Burkholder et al. [42] and Dransfield et al. [90] have searched for the isomer HOONO and have been unable to

identify it. Nizkorodov and Wennberg [193] report 5% HOONO at 253K and 20 Torr of an N2/He buffer gas .

The presence of the HOONO isomer at 300 and 430 K can be accounted for with model transition states and 

RRKM calculations. However, this description of the reaction between HO and NO2, requires that the data 

obtained at lower than 300 K represent the sum of the two pathways. Thus the fate of HOONO might have to be 

included in models.If this fate involves rapid loss due to reaction or photolysis, the effect of the second 

pathway is the diminution of the HONO2 forming rate constant. However, evaluation of data, taking into 

account both pathways, indicates that the contribution of the HOONO forming reaction is quite small under 

atmospheric conditions. Thus, the recommendation is to use only the HONO2 forming reaction. The following 

parameters relating to HOONO are provided for the purposes of model evaluation only and are not part of the 

Panel’s recommendation for reaction C4. 

Extrapolation of the model transition states used to fit the higher temperature results allows the formulation 

below.

Fits to individual product species in Table 2–1 format: 

 HONO2: ko(300) = 2.0 × 10–30; n = 3.0; k∞ (300) =2.5 × 10–11; m = 0 

 HOONO: ko(300) = 1.0 × 10–31; n = 4.0; k∞ (300) = 1.0 × 10–10; m = 0 

For the HOONO case, the reverse reaction must be taken into account through the equilibrium constant. In the 

format of Table 3-1: 

 A = 4.66 × 10–27; B = 10028; K(298 K) = 1.92 × 10–12 and f(298 K) = 10 

C5. HO2 + NO2. Kurylo and Ouellette [152] have remeasured the 300-K rate constants. Kurylo and Ouellette [153] 

have also remeasured the temperature dependence. The recommended values are taken from this latter reference 

wherein their data were combined with that of Sander and Peterson [233]. The recommended ko (300 K) is 

consistent with Howard [123]. Other studies by Simonaitis and Heicklen [245] and Cox and Patrick [70] are in 

reasonable agreement with the recommendation, as is the value of Christensen et al. [56]. 

C6. NO2 + NO3. Data with N2 as the bath gas from Kircher et al. [143], Smith et al. [248], Burrows et al. [45], 

Wallington et al. [272] and Orlando et al. [199]ranging from 236 to 358 K were used to obtain ko, k∞, n and m.

Values from Croce de Cobos et al. [71] are excluded due to arguments given by Orlando et al. [199], who point 

out that a reanalysis of these data using better values for the rate constant for NO3 + NO → 2NO2 yields a 

negative value for NO2 + NO3 + M. The study of Fowles et al. [100] is noted, but not used.Johnston et al. [130] 

have reviewed this reaction. Hahn et al. [112] have studied this reaction between 300 and 400 K at pressures 

from 30 to 900 bar. Their suggested parameterization yields values indistinguishable from those in this 

recommendation under most atmospheric conditions.(There are deviations of 30 to 50% at pressures less than a 

mbar and greater than 5 bar.) 

A study of the reverse reaction has been carried out by Cantrell et al. [47]. These data are in excellent 

agreement with those obtained by Connell and Johnston [62] and Viggiano et al. [267]. The equilibrium 
2-10

constant recommended in Table 3-1 is the one given in Cantrell et al. [47], who computed it from the ratio of 

the rate constant of Orlando et al. [199] and their rate constants for the reverse reaction. 

C7. O2 + NO.Johnston et al. [130] and Davidson et al. [78] have suggested significant thermal decomposition of 

NO3. This has been disputed by Russell et al. [227]. Davis et al. [80] claim that the barrier to thermal 

dissociation is 47.3 kcal mol–1. This would seem to rule out such a process in the atmosphere. 

D1. CH3 + O2. Low pressure limit from Selzer and Bayes [240].(These workers determined the rate constants as a 

function of pressure in N2, Ar, O2, and He. Only the N2 points were used directly in the evaluation, but the 

others are consistent.) Plumb and Ryan [218] report a value in He which is consistent within error limits with 

the work of Selzer and Bayes. Pilling and Smith [215] have measured this process in Ar (32–490 Torr). Their 

low pressure limiting rate constant is consistent with this evaluation, but their high pressure value is a little low.

Cobos et al. [58] have made measurements in Ar and N2 from 0.25 to 150 atmospheres. They report parameters 

somewhat different than recommended here, but their data are reproduced well by the recommended values.

The work of Laguna and Baughcum [154] seems to be in the fall–off region.Results of Pratt and Wood [220] in 

Ar are consistent with this recommendation, although the measurements are indirect. Their T dependence is 

within our estimate. As can be seen from Patrick and Golden [211], the above value leads to a very small β, 

~0.02, and thus temperature dependence is hard to calculate. The suggested value accommodates the values of 

Keiffer et al. [140], who measured the process in Ar between 20 and 600 Torr and in the range 

334 ≤ T/K ≤ 582.Ryan and Plumb [230] suggest that the same type of calculation as employed by Patrick and 

Golden yields a reasonable value of β. We have not been able to reproduce their results. The high-pressure rate 

constant fits the data of Cobos et al. [58]. The temperature dependence is an estimate.(Data of van den Bergh 

and Callear [266], Hochanadel et al. [121], Basco et al. [23], Washida and Bayes [282], Laufer and Bass [156], 

and Washida [281] are also considered.) The fit to Keiffer et al. [140] is very good, suggesting that the 

temperature dependence for the high pressure limit is also reasonable. Kaiser [134] has determined values in 

reasonable agreement (±30%) with the recommended values. 

D2. C2H5 + O2. A relative rate study by Kaiser et al. [136] yields k∞ = (9.2 ± 0.9) × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1s

–1 and

ko = (6.5 ± 2.0) × 10–29 cm6 molecule–2s

–1 in He at 298 K and pressures between 3 and 1500 Torr. Their k∞

agrees with the value calculated by Wagner et al. [269] (k∞ = 7 × 10–12 cm3

 molecule–1s

–1) using variational 

RRKM theory. The extrapolation to the low-pressure limit is difficult due to the complex potential energy 

surface, but agrees with a Patrick and Golden–type calculation [211] using 0 ∆Ho = 32.4 kcal mol–1. The 

recommended values use the calculated temperature dependence and a 2.5 times higher rate constant for air as 

the bath gas. 

D3. OH + C2H2. The rate constant for this complex process has been re-examined by Smith et al. [249] in the 

temperature range from 228 to 1400 K, and in the pressure range 1 to 760 Torr. Their analysis, which is cast in 

similar terms to those used here, is the source of the rate constants and temperature dependences at both limits.

The negative value of m reflects the fact that their analysis includes a 1.2 kcal/mol barrier for the addition of 

OH to C2H2. The data analyzed include those of Pastrana and Carr [210], Perry et al. [213], Michael et al. [181], 

and Perry and Williamson [214]. Other data of Wilson and Westenberg [285], Breen and Glass [35], Smith and 

Zellner [252], and Davis et al. [79] were not included. Studies by Liu et al. [168] and Lai et al. [155] are in 

general agreement with the recommendation. Calculations of ko via the methods of Patrick and Golden [211] 

yield values compatible with those of Smith et al. [249]. 

D4. OH + C2H4. Experimental data of Tully [262], Davis et al. [79], Howard [122], Greiner [109], Morris et al. 

[186], and Overend and Paraskevopoulos [200] in helium, Atkinson et al. [17] in argon, and Lloyd et al. [169] 

and Cox [64] and Klein et al. [146] in nitrogen/oxygen mixtures, have been considered in the evaluation. This 

well–studied reaction is considerably more complex than most others in this table.The parameters 

recommended here fit exactly the same curve proposed by Klein et al. [146] at 298 K. Discrepancies remain and 

the effect of multiple product channels is not well understood. Kuo and Lee [150] report very strong 

temperature dependence for the low-pressure limit (n=4).Calculations of the type in Patrick and Golden [211] 

yield the recommended value. The high-pressure limit temperature dependence has been determined by several 

workers. Almost all obtain negative activation energies, the Zellner and Lorenz [298] value being equivalent to 

m = +0.8 over the range (296<T/K<524) at about 1 atmosphere. Although this could theoretically arise as a 

result of reversibility, the equilibrium constant is too high for this possibility.If there is a product channel that 

proceeds with a low barrier via a tight transition state, a complex rate constant may yield the observed behavior.

The actual addition process (OH + C2H4) may even have a small positive barrier. The recommended limits 

encompass the reported values. A new high temperature measurement has been reported by Diau and Lee [84]. 
2-11

D5. CH3O + NO. The recommended values are taken from the results of Frost and Smith [103] in argon. 

Temperature dependences are from their higher temperature results. The low pressure rate constant is consistent 

with the measurement of McCaulley et al. [179] and Daele et al. [73] in helium and half the value from Troe–

type calculations. A bimolecular (chemical activation) path also exists, forming HNO + CH2O (Frost and Smith 

[103]). Studies by Ohmori et al. [195] and Dobé et al. [86] are in general agreement with Frost and Smith with 

respect to both the addition and bimolecular pathways.(See the note in Table 1-1 for the bimolecular pathway.) 

D6. CH3O + NO2. The recommended values are from the work of Wollenhaupt and Crowley [289]. Agreement is 

good with earlier work at 298 K from the study of Frost and Smith [102] in argon (corrected by Frost and Smith 

[104] and that of Biggs et al [28] in He. Low pressure results agree within a factor of two with the 

measurements of McCaulley et al. [178] in helium. A minor bimolecular (chemical activation) pathway is also 

observed.(See Table 1-1.) 

D7 C2H5O + NO. High-pressure data at 298 K in Ar from Frost and Smith [103] and low-pressure measurements in 

He by Daele et el. [74] are scaled to N2 and fit with an expression summing the bimolecular and termolecular 

channels. The low pressure value agrees with theory. The bimolecular channel with an estimated rate of about 

10–12 needs to be verified by direct studies. The temperature dependence is estimated. 

D8. C2H5O + NO2. High-pressure rate constant at 298 K from Frost and Smith [102]. Other values estimated from 

similar reactions. 

D9. CH3O2 + NO2. Parameters from a reasonable fit to the temperature- and pressure-dependent data in Sander and 

Watson [235] and Ravishankara et al. [221]. These references report Fc = 0.4, and their parameters are a 

somewhat better fit at all temperatures than those recommended here. We do not adopt them since they are not 

much better in the stratospheric range, and they would require both a change in our Fc = 0.6 format and the 

adoption of a quite large negative activation energy for k∞ . A study of the reverse reaction by Zabel et al. [295] 

also uses Fc = 0.4. The values recommended herein, taken with the value of the equilibrium constant in Table 3-

1, fit the data in Zabel et al. [295] very well. Destriau and Troe [83] have fit the above data with k∞

independent of temperature and Fc = 0.36.Bridier et al. [37] are in good agreement with this recommendation at 

one atmosphere and 298 K. 

D10. C2H5O2 + NO2. The only experimental study is that of Elfers et al. [91] who measured the rate constant relative 

to the C2H5O2 + NO reaction between 10 and 1000 mbar. Elfers et al. used a value of k = 8.9 × 10–12 cm3

molecule–1 s–1 for the reference reaction. By comparison the recommended rate constant for the reference 

reaction from Table 1-1 of this evaluation is 1.1 × 10–11 cm3

 molecule–1 s–1 at 254 K. There are three data points.

An evaluation of the Elfers et al. work by Destriau and Troe [83] cast the data in the format used in the IUPAC 

evaluation [14]. The parameters in Table 2–1 are adjusted to agree with the data corrected for the change in the 

reference reaction, using the simpler formula employed in this recommendation. 

D11. CH3C(O)O2 + NO2. The recommended parameters are from the data of Bridier et al. [36], who report in the 

format represented here, but using Fc = 0.3. Their values are: 300

o k = (2.7 ± 1.5) × 10–28, 

k∞

300 = (12.1 ± 2.0) × 10–12, with n = 7.1 ± 1.7 and m= 0.9 ± 0.15. Studies of the decomposition of 

CH3C(O)O2NO2 [PAN] by Roberts and Bertman [226], Grosjean et al. [110], and Orlando et al. [198] are in 

accord with Bridier et al. [36].In the former study it was shown that PAN decomposition yields only 

peroxyacetyl radical and NO2; no methyl nitrate. 

D12. CH3CH2C(O)O2 + NO2. This reaction, forming peroxypropionyl nitrate (PPN), has been studied in the reverse 

direction by Schurath and Wipprecht [238], Mineshos and Glavas [182], Grosjean et al. [110] and Kirchner et 

al. [144]. The measured values are very similar to those for CH3C(O)O2 + NO2 forming peroxyacetyl nitrate 

(PAN). Group additivity considerations indicate that the equilibrium constant for both PAN and PPN will be the 

same (both sides of the equilibrium for PPN differ from those for PAN by the group C-(C)(CO)(H)2.)

Therefore, the recommended value for the association reaction is taken from the decomposition studies 

multiplied by the same equilibrium constant as for PAN.Conservative error limits are estimated. 

D13. CH3COCH2 + O2.Cox et al. [69] reported a value of k = (1.5+/– 0.3) × 10–12 cm3 molecule–1s

–1 at 298 K and 1 

atm of SF6 in which a pulse radiolysis study was modeled. This should be close to the high-pressure limit, but 

Cox et al point out that it is a bit low.(Using group additivity to calculate the entropy change yields about 

1014.3 s

–1 for the decomposition A-factor. This compares with almost 1015 s–1 for C2H5O2 decomposition.) 

E1. F + O2. A study by Pagsberg et al. [206] reports ko in argon = 4.38 × 10–33 (T/300)–1.2. This is in good agreement 

with earlier values of Smith and Wrigley [251], Smith and Wrigley [250], Shamonina and Kotov [241], 
2-12

Arutyunov et al. [9] and slightly lower than the values of Chen et al. [54] and Chegodaev et al. [53]. Wallington 

and Nielsen [278], Wallington et al. [277] and Ellerman et al. [92] confirm the value of Pagsberg et al. [206].

Lyman and Holland [172] report a slightly lower value in Ar at 298K. We assume that βAr = βN2 at all 

temperatures. Pagsberg et al. [206], also determined the equilibrium constant and thus ∆Hf (FO2). See F + O2, 

Table 2–1. A calculation such as described in Patrick and Golden [211], using the new value yields:

ko = 1.06 × 10–33 (T/300)–1.5 using βN2 = 0.3 (i.e., 〈∆E〉 = 2 kJ mol–1). This is not good agreement. 

E2. F + NO. A study by Pagsberg et al [203], taking into account data from Zetzsch [299], Skolnik et al. [246], Kim 

et al. [142], Pagsberg et al. [205] and Wallington et al. [275], reports rate constants for this reaction in several 

bath gases.Converting their values to the form used in this compilation yields the recommended parameters. 

E3. F + NO2. A study by Pagsberg et al. [204], taking into account the experimental data of Fasano and Nogar [95] 

and Zetzsch [299], was used to determine both the high and low pressure limits at 300 K.Converting their 

values to the form used in this compilation yields the recommended parameters.Treatment of the data for this 

system requires knowledge of the relative stabilities of FNO2 and FONO. Patrick and Golden [211] assumed 

that the difference between these would be the same as between the ClNO2 isomers. Theoretical work by Dixon 

and Christie [85], Lee and Rice [159] and Amos et al. [3] indicates that FNO2 is 35–40 kcal mol–1 more stable 

than FONO, and therefore the measured rate refers to FNO2 formation. The value of n = 2 is from Patrick and 

Golden, but consistent with Pagsberg et al. The value of m is a rough estimate from similar reactions, but is also 

consistent with Pagsberg et al. 

E4. FO + NO2. Low pressure limit from strong collision calculation and β = 0.33. T dependence from resultant 

〈∆E〉 = 0.523 kcal mol–1, high-pressure limit and T dependence estimated. A theoretical study by Rayez and 

Destriau [225] indicates that the product is the single isomer FONO2.Bedzhanyan et al. [27] report a value 

extracted from a complex mixture of bath gases. 

E5. CF3 + O2.Caralp et al. [49] have measured the rate constant in N2 between 1 and 10 Torr. This supplants the 

value from Caralp and Lesclaux [48]. Kaiser et al. [137] have extended the pressure range to 580 Torr. They 

both recommend different parameters, but the data are well represented by the currently recommended values.

Data of Ryan and Plumb [229] are in agreement. 

E6. CF3O + NO2. Fockenberg et al. [98] report values in nitrogen with 250<T/K<302 and 7<p/mbar<107. They 

report large error limits. Their values, including two sigma errors, using the previous format are: 

k0 =(3.1 ± 3.0)×10–28; n = (2.0 ± 2.0) k∞ =(1.5 ± 0.5)×10–28; m = (2.8±2.0). The reaction products agree with 

those reported by Chen et al. [55], who used photolysis of CF3NO to prepare CF3O2 and subsequently CF3O in 

700 Torr of air at 297 + 2 K. They considered two product channels:(a) CF3ONO2 obtained via three–body 

recombination and (b) CF2O + FNO2 obtained via fluorine transfer.Both products were observed and found to 

be thermally stable in their reactor.They report ka/(ka+kb) > 90% and kb/(ka+kb) < 10%, thus the formation of 

CF3ONO2 is the dominant channel at 700 Torr and 297 K. 

E7. CF3O2 + NO2.Based on experiments in O2 of Caralp et al. [50], who suggest a somewhat different fitting 

procedure, but the values recommended here fit the data just as well. Destriau and Troe [83] use yet a different 

fitting procedure that does not represent the data quite as well as that recommended here.Reverse rate data are 

given by Köppenkastrop and Zabel [148]. 

E8. CF3O + CO. Values taken from Turnipseed et al. [263]. The numbers were obtained for Ar as the bath gas and 

are assumed to hold for N2 as well. The temperature dependence of the high-pressure rate constant was 

determined over the range 233<T/K<332 in SF6. No temperature dependence of the low-pressure-limiting rate 

constant was reported. Wallington and Ball [273] report values in good agreement with Turnipseed et al. 

E9. CF3O + M. The activation energy for thermal decomposition of CF3O to CF2O + F has been reported to be 

31 kcal mol–1 by Kennedy and Levy [141]. Thermochemical data yield ∆Ho

(298) = 23 kcal mol–1. This implies 

an intrinsic barrier of about 8 kcal mol–1 to elimination of F from CF3O. Electronic structure calculations by Li 

and Francisco [166] support this observation. Adopting the A-factor for unimolecular dissociation, 

A = 3 × 1014 s–1 and E = 31 kcal mol–1 from Kennedy and Levy, k∞ (298 K) is about 6 × 10–9s

–1. This corresponds to a lifetime of about 6 years; therefore, thermal decomposition of CF3O is unimportant throughout the 

atmosphere. 

F1. Cl + O2. Nicovich et al. [189] measure ko = (9 ± 3) 10–33 cm6

 molecule–2s

–1 at T = 187 ± 6 K in O2. Using the 

methods described in Patrick and Golden [211], but adjusting the thermochemistry of ClO2 such that o S298 K = 64.3 cal mol–1 K–1 and ∆Hf,298 = 23.3 ± 0.6 kcal mol–1 (Cl + O2, Table 3), we calculate 

ko = 5.4 × 10–33 cm6

 molecule–2 s

–1 at T = 185 K. The collisional efficiency of the bath gas is taken from the 
2-13

formula [β/(1–β1/2)] = 〈∆E〉/FEkT and 〈∆E〉 ~ 0.5 kcal mol–1 (i.e., β185 = 0.42 and β300 = 0.30). Since O2 may be 

particularly efficient for this process, we use this calculation with broader error limits. The value from the 

calculation at 300 K (i.e., 2.7 × 10–33 cm6

 molecules–2 s–1) compares with an older value of Nicholas and 

Norrish [187] of 1.7 × 10–33 in an N2 + O2 mixture. The temperature dependence is from the calculation.Baer et 

al. [18] report a value at 298 K in good agreement with the value recommended here, but the temperature 

dependence is strikingly different, as noted by the authors. 

F2. Cl + NO. Low-pressure limit is from Lee et al. [158], Clark et al. [57], Ashmore and Spencer [10], and 

Ravishankara et al. [222]. Temperature dependence is from Lee et al. [158] and Clark et al. [57]. 

F3. Cl + NO2. Low-pressure limit and T dependence from Leu [164].(Assuming similar T dependence in N2 and 

He.) Leu [164] confirms the observation of Niki et al. [192] that both ClONO and ClNO2 are formed, with the 

former dominating. This has been explained by Chang et al. [52], with detailed calculations in Patrick and 

Golden [211]. The temperature dependence is as predicted in Patrick and Golden [211]. Leu’s results are in 

excellent agreement with those reported in Ravishankara et al. [223]. The latter work extends to 200 Torr, and 

the high-pressure limit was chosen to fit these measurements. The temperature dependence of the high-pressure 

limit is estimated. A turbulent flow study by Seeley et al. [239] that extends results to 250 Torr of Ar is in 

agreement with earlier work. 

F4. Cl + CO. From Nicovich et al. [190], who measured the process in N2 for 185 ≤ T/K ≤ 260. 

F5. Cl + C2H2. The recommended values are taken from the work of Kaiser [133] and Kaiser and Wallington [132], 

which extends the pressure range to 0.3–6000 Torr. The data are in reasonable agreement with earlier 

measurements of Brunning and Stief [40] and Wallington et al. [271], although the derived temperature 

dependence is much less than obtained by Brunning and Stief [40]. These values are compatible with earlier 

studies of Poulet et al. [219], Atkinson and Aschmann [12], Lee and Rowland [157] and Wallington et al. 

[279]. Using FTIR, Zhu et al. [300] reported branching of 16% and 84% to the trans and cis adduct isomers, 

respectively, at 700 Torr N2 and 295 K. 

F6. Cl + C2H4. Values at 300K are from a relative rate study by Wallington et al. [271]. A relative rate study by 

Kaiser and Wallington [132] extends the pressure range to 0.3–6000 Torr and is compatible with earlier studies.

Temperature dependence of ko is taken from Kaiser and Wallington [135]. The temperature dependence of k∞ is 

estimated. Values are in reasonable agreement with studies by Maricq et al. [175], Lee and Rowland [157], Iyer 

et al. [129], Atkinson and Aschmann [12], Atkinson and Aschmann [13] and Wallington et al. [280]. A study in 

He by Stutz et al. [255] is noted, as is a comment on it by Kaiser and Wallington [135]. Knyasev et al. [147] 

have done an extensive experimental and theoretical analysis. Their values agree with this recommendation. 

F7 Cl + C2Cl4.Recommendation is from the flash-photolysis study of Nicovich et al. [191] done at 231–390 K in 

3–700 Torr N2. A study by Thuner et al. is in agreement [257]. 

F8. ClO + NO2. The low-pressure-limit recommendation and uncertainties are based on temperature-dependent 

values from Zahniser et al. [296], Lee et al. [161], Birks et al. [31], Leu et al. [165], Wallington and Cox [274], 

Cox et al. [65] and Molina et al. [183]. All of these data were collected in N2 bath gas, except for several points 

from Lee et al. [161] collected in O2.

The high-pressure-limit recommendation is based on the RRKM calculations of Smith and Golden . There are 

several pressure-dependent data sets in the literature, such as Percival et al. [212], Handwerk and Zellner [113], 

Dasch et al. [77] and Cox and Lewis [68]; however, they are too disparate to extract unambiguous values. These 

data are all reproduced within two-sigma error limits by the current recommendation. 

F9. OClO + NO3. Friedl et al. [101], studied this system at 1 ≤ P/Torr ≤ 5 for helium and 220 ≤ T/K ≤ 298. They 

deduced values for the rate constant consistent with their data of ko ≈ 10–31 and k∞ ≈ 10–11. They also suggest a 

value for the equilibrium constant: K/cm3

 molecule–1 = 1 × 10–28 exp (9300/T). However, Boyd et al. [34] have 

raised the question of possible heterogeneous effects in this system, and further work is needed. 

F10. ClO + ClO. The recommendation is based on a simultaneous fit to data from Bloss et al. (183–245 K) [33], 

(which supersedes earlier work of Sander et al. (194–247 K) [231]), Nickolaisen et al. (260–390 K) [188] and 

Trolier et al. (200–263 K) [261]. The latter data have been corrected for the effect of Cl2 as third body, as 

suggested by Nickolaisen et al. With this adjustment all the data are in reasonable agreement. Error limits are 

from the statistical fit. The ko value for N2 is not in accord with a Patrick and Golden–type calculation [211]. 

This may be due to uncertainty in the ClOOCl thermochemistry, which is based on the equilibrium constants 

reported by Nickolaisen et al. and Cox and Hayman [67](See Table 3.). Other previous rate constant 

measurements, such as those of Hayman et al. [116], Cox and Derwent [66], Basco and Hunt [22], Walker 
2-14

[270], and Johnston et al. [131],range from 1–5 × 10–32 cm6 s–1, with N2 or O2 as third bodies. The major 

dimerization product is chlorine peroxide (Birk et al. [30], DeMore and Tschuikow-Roux [82], Slanina and 

Uhlik [247], Stanton et al. [253] and Lee et al. [160]). 

F11. ClO + OClO. Data are from Burkholder et al. [43], who measured the rate constant in N2 at 200 ≤ T/K ≤ 260 and 

densities from (1.1–10.9) × 1018 molecules cm–3. They also measured the equilibrium constant. Parr et al. [208] 

also report a value for the rate constant in reasonable agreement with the recommendation. 

F12. O + OClO. The recommendation is based on data of Colussi et al. [61] and Colussi [60], who measured the 

pressure dependence between 248 and 312 K. Their results are consistent with calculations. A zero-pressure rate 

constant of 

(1.6 ± 0.4) × 10–13 cm3

 s–1 is reported for the chemical activation channel producing ClO + O2, and their value 

of ∆H

o

f

(ClO3) = 52 kcal mol–1 is derived at 298 K. A low-pressure study by Gleason et al. [107] suggests a 

direct abstraction as well. See Table 1-1. 

F13. CH2Cl + O2. Measured by Fenter et al. [96] over the range 298 ≤ T/K ≤ 448 and 1 ≤P/Torr ≤ 760 in nitrogen.

Two different techniques were employed: laser photolysis/photoionization mass spectrometry in the range 

1–10 Torr and laser photolysis/UV absorption for the range 20–760 Torr. A study by Bilde et al. [29] in N2

relative to the reaction CH2Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + Cl is in excellent agreement.

F14. CHCl2 + O2. Measured by Fenter et al. [96] over the range 298 ≤ T/K ≤ 383 and 1 ≤ P/Torr ≤ 760 in nitrogen.

Two different techniques were employed: laser photolysis/photoionization mass spectrometry in the range 

1–10 Torr and laser photolysis/UV absorption for the range 20–760 Torr. A study by Nottingham et al. [194], in 

He, is in agreement. 

F15. CCl3 + O2. The recommendation incorporates studies by Fenter et al. [97], Danis et al. [76] and Luther et al. 

[171]. Experimental data of Ryan and Plumb [230] have been considered in the evaluation. A study by 

Nottingham et al. [194], in He, is in agreement. A Patrick and Golden–type calculation using the 

thermochemistry of Russell et al. [228] yields k0

300 = 1.5 × 10–30, with β = 0.3. A value of k∞300 = 5 × 10–12 has 

been reported by Cooper et al. [63]. The value of the high-pressure-limiting rate constant recommended here is 

slightly below that of Luther et al., but within their error limits.If we use their value the fit to lower-pressure 

data in the atmospherically important regions is less good. 

F16. CFCl2 + O2. Values for both low- and high-pressure limits at 300 K are from Caralp and Lesclaux [48].

Temperature dependences are rough estimates based on calculations and similar reactions. 

F17. CF2Cl + O2. Values estimated from other reactions in this series. 

F18. CCl3O2 + NO2.Based on experiments in O2 of Caralp et al. [50], who suggest a somewhat different fitting 

procedure, but the values recommended here fit the data as well. Destriau and Troe [83] use yet a different 

fitting procedure that does not represent the data quite as well as that recommended herein.Reverse rate data 

are given by Köppenkastrop and Zabel [148]. 

F19. CFCl2O2 + NO2.Based on experiments in O2 of Caralp et al. [50], who suggest a somewhat different fitting 

procedure, but the values recommended here fit the data as well. Destriau and Troe [83] use yet a different 

fitting procedure that does not represent the data quite as well as that recommended herein.Reverse rate data 

are given by Köppenkastrop and Zabel [148]. 

F20. CF2ClO2 + NO2. A study by Wu and Carr [291] supersedes the earlier work of Moore and Carr [184] and is 

recommended here.Reverse rate data are given by Köppenkastrop and Zabel [148] and Xiong and Carr [292]. 

G1. Br+NO2. The recommended values are from a study by Kreutter et al. [149]. Their ko value agrees with the 

measurement of Mellouki et al. [180] at 300 K. A Patrick-and-Golden-type calculation using the known 

structure of the more stable BrNO2 isomer and the measured equilibrium by Kreutter et al. [149] underpredicts 

ko by an order of magnitude. Participation by other electronic states and isomers such as BrONO as suggested 

in JPL 97-4, in keeping with the chlorine analog, has been shown in studies by Broske and Zabel [38] and 

Orlando and Burkholder [196]. 

G2. BrO + NO2. Values from a study by Thorn et al. [256] that is in excellent agreement with Sander et al. [234] are 

recommended. Error limits are from a reanalysis of the data. Danis et al. [75] give slightly lower values for the 

low-pressure-limiting rate constant and a smaller temperature dependence as well. This latter study may be 

hampered by heterogeneous effects. A theoretical study by Rayez and Destriau [225] suggests that the bonddissociation energy in BrONO2 is higher than that in ClONO2, thus rationalizing the relative values of the low-
2-15

pressure-limiting rate constants for these two processes. This is confirmed by a more detailed study by 

Parthiban and Lee. [209] as well as by Orlando and Tyndall [197], who measured BrONO2 decomposition and 

thus an equilibrium constant. 

H1. I + NO. Evaluation taken from IUPAC [128]. The data is from van den Bergh et al. [264] and Basco and Hunt 

[21]. Although IUPAC recommends Fc = 0.75, any differences will be insignificant, since this reaction is in the 

low pressure limit under atmospheric conditions. 

H2. I + NO2. Evaluation taken from IUPAC [128]. The data is from van den Bergh et al. [264], Mellouki et al. 

[180], Buben et al. [41] and van den Bergh and Troe [265].IUPAC uses Fc = 0.63, which is the same as the 

universal value adopted here of Fc = 0.6.(No evidence of possible isomers [INO2 or IONO] is reported.) 

H3. IO + NO2. Data taken from Daykin and Wine [81]. They suggest ko = 7.7 × 10–31 (T/300)–5.0, k∞ = 1.5 × 10–11

and Fc = 0.4. The values recommended here fit the data as well. 

I1. HS + NO. Data and analysis are from the work of Black et al. [32]. The temperature dependence of k has been 

estimated. 

I2. CH3S + NO. The recommended values are from the study by Balla et al. [19] at 296K in nitrogen. Temperature 

dependences are derived from the higher temperature results of the same study. 

I3 O + SO2. The recommendation is taken from Atkinson et al. [15] and was transformed to the format used herein.

I4. OH + SO2. Values of the rate constant as a function of pressure at 298 K are from Leu [163], Paraskevopoulos 

et al. [207], and Wine et al. [287]. The value of the low-pressure limit is from Leu [163], corrected for fall–off.

The high-pressure limit is from a fit to all the data. The value of n comes from the above data combined with 

calculations such as those of Patrick and Golden [211], except that the heat of formation of HOSO2 is raised by 

4 kcal mol–1, as suggested by the work of Margitan [173]. The value of m is estimated. This is not a radical–

radical reaction and is unlikely to have a positive value of m. The limit of m = –2 corresponds to a real 

activation energy of ~1 kcal mol–1. Earlier data listed in Baulch et al. [26] and Baulch et al. [25] are noted.Work 

of Martin et al. [177], Barnes et al. [20], and Lee et al. [162] confirm the current evaluation. 

I5. CH3SCH2 + O2 . Wallington et al. [276] have employed a pulse radiolysis technique, allowing the derivation of 

k = 5.7 ± 0.4 × 10–12 in 992 mbar of SF6 at room temperature.

I6 SO3 + NH3.Recommendation is from Lovejoy and Hanson [170], who studied this reaction from 

10–400 Torr N2 at 295 K. They observe that the adduct isomerizes rapidly to sulfamic acid and clusters 

efficiently with itself and sulfuric acid. Observed sulfamic acid dimerization rate constant exceeds 5 × 10–11.

Measurements of Shen et al. [243] made at 1–2 Torr He are much higher than those of Lovejoy and Hanson.

Temperature dependences are rough estimates. 

J1. Na + O2. A study by Plane and Rajasekhar [217] finds ko = (2.9 ± 0.7) × 10–30 at 300 K with n = 1.30 ± .04.

They also estimate k∞ to be about 6 × 10–10, with a small positive temperature dependence. Another study by 

Helmer and Plane [117] yields ko = (3.1 ±0.2) × 10–30 at 300 K with n = 1.52±0.27. The recommended values 

are taken from these studies. They are consistent with values measured by Marshall et al. [176] at 600 K and 

those measured by Vinckier et al. [268] at higher temperature. The ko value is about 60% higher than that of 

Silver et al. [244]. 

J2. NaO + O2. Ager and Howard [1] have measured the low- pressure limit at room temperature in several bath 

gases. Their value in N2 is used in the recommendation. They performed a Troe calculation, as per Patrick and 

Golden [211], to obtain collision efficiency and temperature dependence. They obtained a high-pressure-limit 

rate constant by use of a simple model. The temperature dependence is estimated. 

J3. NaO + CO2. Ager and Howard [1] have measured the rate constant for this process in the “fall–off” regime.

Their lowest pressures are very close to the low-pressure limit. The temperature dependence is an estimate.

Ager and Howard calculate the high-pressure rate constant from a simple model.

J4. NaOH + CO2. Ager and Howard [2] have measured the low-pressure-limiting rate constant. The temperature 

dependence is an estimate. Ager and Howard have calculated the high-pressure limit using a simple model.

3.1 Format 

Some of the three-body reactions in Table 2-1 form products that are thermally unstable at atmospheric 

temperatures. In such cases the thermal decomposition reaction may compete with other loss processes, such as 

photodissociation or radical attack. Table 3-1 lists the equilibrium constants, K(T), for several reactions which may 

fall into this category. The table has three column entries, the first two being the parameters A and B which can be 

used to express K(T): 

K(T)/cm3 molecule–1 = A exp(B/T) (200 < T < 300 K) 

The third column entry in Table 3-1 is the calculated value of K at 298 K. 

The data sources for K(T) are described in the individual notes to Table 3-1. 

3.2 Definitions

Where the superscript “o” refers to a standard state of one atmosphere. In some cases K values were 

calculated from this equation, using thermochemical data. In other cases the K values were calculated directly from 

kinetic data for the forward and reverse reactions. When available, JANAF values were used for the equilibrium 

constants. The following equations were then used to calculate the parameters A and B:

3.3 Notes to Table 3 

1. HO2 + NO2. The value was obtained by combining the data from Table 1-1 for the rate constant of the reaction 

as written and that of Graham et al. [27] and Zabel [56] for the reverse reaction. Values for the entropy and heat 

of formation of pernitric acid may be extracted. These values are: S(298 K) = 71.7 cal mole–1 K–1 and 

∆Hf(298 K) = –12.9 kcal mole–1. If the entropy is calculated from the frequencies and moments of inertia given 

by Chen and Hamilton [19], the value becomes 71.0 and the heat is –13.1. The values in the Appendix to this 

report reflect these results. 

2. NO + NO2. The data are from JANAF [33] and Chao et al. [17]. This process is included because a 

measurement of the rate constant by Smith and Yarwood [50] and Markwalder et al. [36] shows that it is too 

slow to be an important process in most atmospheric and laboratory systems. 

3. NO2 + NO2. The data are from JANAF [33] and Vosper [54], Chao et al. [18] and Amoruso et al. [1]. Rate data 

for this process are reported by Brunning et al. [11], Borrell et al. [8] Gozel et al. [25] and Markwalder et al. 

[35]. A direct study by Harwood and Jones [28] at low temperatures is in agreement with the recommendation. 

Re-evaluation of the data suggests lower error limits than recommended in JPL 97-4. A typographical error in 

JPL 97-4 has been corrected. 

4. NO2 + NO3. The recommendation is from Cantrell et al. [15]. They report rate constants for the decomposition 

reaction, which they combine with the rate constants of Orlando et al. [42] to obtain the equilibrium constant. 

Agreement is quite good with the data of Burrows et al. [13] and Cantrell et al. [14], and the room temperature 

data of Tuazon et al. [51], Perner et al. [44] and Hjorth et al. [30]. An evaluation by Pritchard [47] is also in 

excellent agreement with the recommendation. Pritchard [47] examined the data of Cantrell et al. [14], Burrows 

et al. [13], Graham and Johnston [26], Wangberg et al [55], Schott and Davidson [48], and the room 

temperature data of Tuazon et al. [51], Perner et al. [44] and Hjorth et al. [30]. He also included the values 

given by Smith et al. [49], and Kircher et al. [34], who combined data on the forward reaction, tabulated in 

Table 2-1, with decomposition data of by Connell and Johnston [20] and Viggiano et al. [53]. The latter was 

used as the basis for the value in JPL 00-3, but some uncertainties in the entropies of NO3 and N2O5 justify the 

reversion to the JPL 97-4 basis. Wangberg et al. [55] measured the equilibrium constant between 280 and 294 

K and report results in agreement with this recommendation. 

5. CH3O2 + NO2. Thermochemical values at 300 K for CH3O2NO2 and CH3O2 are from Baldwin [6]. In the 

absence of data, ∆H° and ∆S° were assumed to be independent of temperature. Bahta et al. [5] have measured 

k(dissociation) at 263 K. Using the values of k(recombination) suggested in this evaluation, they compute 

K(263 K) = (2.68 ± 0.26) × 10–10 cm3

. Our values predict 3.94 × 10–10 cm3, in good agreement. 

Zabel et al. [57] have measured k(dissociation) as a function of pressure and temperature. (CH3O2 + NO2, Table 

2-1). Their values are in good agreement with Bahta et al. [5] and, taken together with k(recombination), would 

lead to A = 5.2 × 10–28 and B = 10,766. This is sufficiently close to the value in Table 3-1 to forego any change 

in parameters, but the uncertainty has been reduced. Bridier et al. [10] measure an equilibrium constant in good 

agreement with this recommendation. 

6. CH3C(O)O2 + NO2: From measurements of the rate constants in both directions by Bridier et al. [9]. 

7. CH3CH2C(O)O2 + NO2. Assumed to be the same as for PAN (Note 6). Both sides of the of the reaction differ 

from PAN by the group C–(C)(CO)(H)2. Error limits are estimated and expanded from those for PAN. 

8. CH3COCH2 + O2. Estimated values of the entropy and enthalpy changes for the reaction are: ∆S = –33 e.u. and 

∆H = –26 kcal/mole. The entropy is from group additivity and the enthalpy from group additivity for the 

hydroperoxide followed by assuming that the O–H bond dissociation energy is 88 kcal/mole. Error limits are 

estimated from the uncertainties in this procedure. 

9. F + O2. Calculated from JANAF thermochemical values except for ∆Hf,298(FO2) = 6.24 ± 0.5 kcal mol–1. The 

latter was taken from Pagsberg et al. [43]. This direct measurement, which falls between the earlier disputed 

values, would seem to settle that controversy, but the calculated value of ko is not in good agreement with the 

experiment (see F + O2 of Table 2-1). 

10. Cl + O2. Baer et al. [4] determined K in the temperature range 180 to 300 K. Their value at 

185.4 K (5.23 × 10–19 cm3

 molecule–1) compares well with the Nicovich et al. [40] measurement 

K = 4.77 × 10–19 cm3

 molecule–1, and within error with the Mauldin et al. [37] value of 

2.55 × 10–19 cm3

 molecule–1. A different expression for K by Avallone et al. [3] gives 

S°298(ClOO) = 61.8 cal K–1 moleculr–1 and ∆H°f,298 (ClOO) = 23.3 kcal mol–1. Using known thermochemistry 
3-4 

for Cl and O2 and computed entropy values for ClOO, ∆Hf,298 (ClOO) = 23.3 ±0.6 kcal mole–1 is obtained from 

the Nicovich et al. [40] data. The value of S°298 (ClOO) = 64.3 cal mole–1 K–1 used is computed from a structure 

with a 105° bond angle and Cl–O and O–O bond lengths of 0.173 and 0.130 nm respectively. Frequencies of 

1441, 407, and 373 cm–1 are from Arkell and Schwager [2]. Symmetry number is 1 and degeneracy is 2. 

11. Cl + CO. From Nicovich et al. [41] who measured both k and K between 185 and 260 K in N2. They report 

∆Hf,298 (ClCO) = –5.2 ± 0.7 kcal mole–1. 

12. ClO + O2. DeMore [22] reports K < 4 × 10–18 cm3

 molecule–1 at 197 K. His temperature dependence of the 

equilibrium constant is estimated using S°298 (ClO·O2) = 73 cal mol–1K–1 and ∆H°298 <7.7 kcal mol–1. A higher 

value of K has been proposed by Prasad [45], but it requires S°(ClO·O2) to be about 83 cal mol–1 K–1, which 

seems unreasonably high. Carter and Andrews [16] found no experimental evidence for ClO·O2 in matrix 

experiments. Prasad and Lee [46] discuss these issues and question the validity of the upper limit reported by 

DeMore. 

13. ClO + ClO. The value is from a third-law calculation based on the data from Cox and Hayman [21] (except for 

the two lowest temperature points) and Nickolaisen et al. [39]. The entropy of ClOOCl, the value of which is 

72.2 cal mol–1 K–1 at 300 K, is calculated from structural and spectroscopic data given by Birk et al. [7]. The 

heat of formation at 300 K is ∆H°f,300 = 30.8 kcal mol–1. A study of branching ratios of ClO + ClO channels in 

Cl2/O2/O3 mixtures by Horowitz et al.[31] also finds the equilibrium constant in O2 at 285 K to be in agreement 

with the recommendation. 

14. ClO + OClO. The value in Table 3-1 is that of Burkholder et al. [12] who report a second law value combining 

their own data and those of Hayman and Cox [29] except for the lowest temperature point from the latter study. 

They deduce ∆Hf(Cl2O3) ≈ 37 kcal mol–1 and S° (Cl2O3) ≈ 95 cal mol–1 K–1. The value from Hayman and Cox 

[29] is in agreement with entropy calculations based on molecular properties (3rd law). All calculations assume 

the chlorine chlorate structure (ClOCl(O)2). The deviation that Burkholder et al. [12] observe from third law 

behavior may indicate that the reaction is more complex than written. Other structures might be stable at the 

lowest temperatures (i.e., ClOOClO, OClOClO, OClCl(O)2). 

15. OClO + NO3. Deduced by Friedl et al. [24]. 

16. OH + CS2. Average of the concordant recent measurements of Murrells et al. [38] and Diau and Lee [23] 

between 249 and 298 K. The measurements of Hynes et al. [32] indicate a less stable adduct, but agree within 

combined experimental error. 

17. CH3S + O2. Turnipseed et al. [52] report the equilibrium constant for 216 ≤ T/K ≤ 258. From a third law 

analysis using ∆S°237 = –36.8 ± 2.6 eu, they obtain ∆Ho

237 = –11.5 ± 0.9 kcal/mole.

4.1 Format and Error Estimates 

In Table 4-1 we present a list of photochemical reactions considered to be of stratospheric interest. The 

absorption cross sections of O2 and O3 largely determine the extent of penetration of solar radiation into the 

stratosphere and troposphere. Some comments and references to these cross sections are presented in the text, but 

only a sample of the data is listed here.(See, for example, WMO Report No. 11 [1]; WMO Report No. 16 [434])

The photodissociation of NO in the O2 Schumann-Runge band spectral range is another important process requiring 

special treatment and is not discussed in this evaluation (see, for example, Frederick and Hudson [123]; Allen and 

Frederick [8]; WMO Report No. 11 [1], and Minschwaner and Siskind [259]). 

For some other species having highly structured spectra, such as CS2 and SO2, some comments are given 

in the text, but the photochemical data are not presented. The species CH2O, NO2, NO3, ClO, BrO, and OClO also 

have complicated spectra, but in view of their importance for atmospheric chemistry a sample of the data is 

presented in the evaluation; for more detailed information on their high-resolution spectra and temperature 

dependence, the reader is referred to the original literature. 

Table 4-2 gives recommended reliability factors for some of the more important photochemical 

reactions. These factors represent the combined uncertainty in cross sections and quantum yields, taking into 

consideration the atmospherically important wavelength regions, and they refer to the total dissociation rate 

regardless of product identity. The exception is O(1D) production from photolysis of O3: the reliability factor applies 

to the quantum yield at the indicated wavelengths. 

The error estimates are not rigorous numbers resulting from a detailed error propagation analysis of 

statistical manipulations of the different sets of literature values; they merely represent a consensus among the panel 

members as to the reliability of the data for atmospheric photodissociation calculations, taking into account the 

difficulty of the measurements, the agreement among the results reported by various groups, etc. 

The absorption cross sections are defined by the following expression of Beer’s Law: 

 I = Ioexp(–σnl), 

where Io and I are the incident and transmitted light intensity, respectively; σ is the absorption cross section in 

cm2

 molecule–1; n is the concentration in molecule cm–3; and l is the pathlength in cm. The cross sections are room 

temperature values at the specific wavelengths listed in the table, and the expected photodissociation quantum yields 

are unity, unless otherwise stated. 

4.2 Halocarbon Absorption Cross Sections and Quantum Yields 

The primary process in the photodissociation of chlorinated hydrocarbons is well established: absorption 

of ultraviolet radiation in the lowest frequency band is interpreted as an n–σ* transition involving excitation to a 

repulsive electronic state (antibonding in C–Cl), which dissociates by breaking the carbon-chlorine bond (Majer and 

Simons [228]). As expected, the chlorofluoromethanes, which are a particular type of chlorinated hydrocarbons, 

behave in this fashion (Sandorfy [361]). Hence, the quantum yield for photodissociation is expected to be unity for 

these compounds. There are several studies that show specifically that this is the case for CF2Cl2, CFCl3, and CCl4.

These studies, which have been reviewed in CODATA [82], also indicate that at shorter wavelengths, two halogen 

atoms can be released simultaneously in the primary process.

A1. O2 + hν → O + O. The photodissociation of molecular oxygen in the stratosphere is due primarily to absorption 

of solar radiation in the 200–220 nm wavelength region, i.e., within the Herzberg continuum. The 185–200-nm 

region—the O2 Schumann-Runge band spectral range—is also very important, since solar radiation penetrates 

efficiently into the stratosphere at those wavelengths. 

Frederick and Mentall [124] Herman and Mentall [158] and Anderson and Hall [14,15] estimated O2 absorption 

cross sections from balloon measurements of solar irradiance in the stratosphere. These authors find the cross 

sections in the 200–210 nm range to be ~35% smaller than the smallest of the older laboratory results, which 

are those of Shardanand and Prasad Rao [373]. The more recent laboratory studies (Johnston et al. [190]; 

Cheung et al. [73,74], Jenouvrier et al. [183]) confirm the lower values obtained from solar irradiance 

measurements. The recommended absorption cross section values between 205 and 240 nm are listed in Table 

4-3; they are taken from Yoshino et al. [438] and are based on the latter set of laboratory measurements.

Amoruso et al. [11] have also carried out cross section measurements in this wavelength range (the Herzberg 

continuum); their values are ~15% lower than those reported by Yoshino et al.

 The studies of the penetration of solar radiation in the atmosphere in the Schumann-Runge wavelength region 

were based originally on laboratory measurements of cross sections that were affected by instrumental 

parameters due to insufficient spectral resolution. Yoshino et al. [446] reported high resolution O2 cross section 

measurements at 300 K, between 179 and 202 nm, obtaining the first set of results, which is independent of the 

instrument width. Additional studies at other temperatures, wavelengths, and isotopic compositions have been 

carried out by Yoshino et al. [439,442–445], Lewis et al. [214,215], Cheung et al. [72], and Chiu et al. [75].

More recently, Yoshino et al. [440] reported cross sections of the Schumann-Runge bands in the window 

region between the rotational lines for wavelengths between 180 and 195 nm; these measurements supersede 

their earlier ones. Minschwaner et al. [258] have fit temperature-dependent O2 cross sections between 175 and 

204 nm with polynomial expressions, providing accurate means of determining the Schumann-Runge band 

cross sections with a model that incorporates the most recent laboratory data.Coquart et al. [86] have reported 

Herzberg continuum absorption cross sections in the wavelength region 196–205 nm of the Schumann-Runge 

bands. 

For parameterizations of the O2 absorption in the Schumann-Runge bands used in atmospheric modeling 

calculations, see, e.g., the review in WMO Report No. 16 [434]. More recent work by Murtagh [285], Nicolet 

and Kennes, [294] and Minschwaner et al. [258] incorporates results of the later laboratory measurements into 

efficient schemes for computing broad-band transmission and photolysis rates. Transmission values obtained by 

Murtagh [285] agree well with the WMO [434] recommendations, although the high-resolution calculations of 

Minschwaner and Salawitch differ with the WMO values by as much as 10–20% at some wavelengths. 
4-8

In view of the quality of the high-resolution laboratory measurements, the primary source of uncertainty in 

modeling O2 photolysis in the Schumann-Runge bands (other than the issue of absolute solar irradiance) has 

shifted to the choice of broadband parameterization. 

A2. O3 + hν → O + O2. The O3 absorption cross sections and their temperature dependence have been measured by 

several groups. An earlier review is presented in WMO Report No. 16 [434]; this reference should be consulted 

to obtain data for atmospheric modeling calculations. Table 4-4 lists merely a sample of the data taken from this 

review, namely the 273 K cross section values averaged over the wavelength intervals commonly employed in 

modeling calculations, except for the wavelength range 185 to 225 nm, where the present recommendation 

incorporates the averaged values from the work of Molina and Molina [270]; the older values were based on 

the work of Inn and Tanaka [179]. More recently, Daumont et al. [101] and Brion et al. [43] reported ozone 

absorption cross section measurements between 195 and 345 nm, in the temperature range 200–300 K; and 

Yoshino et al. [441] measured the cross sections in the 185 to 254 nm wavelength range at 195, 228, and 295 

K; the results of these studies yield values in very good agreement with those reported by Molina and Molina 

[270].Cacciani et al. [63] reported measurements of the ozone cross sections in the wavelength range from 339 

to 355 nm, in reasonable agreement with the present recommendation; the same group has measured also the 

cross sections in the 590–610 nm region, at 230 K and at 299 K (Amoruso et al. [9]). The temperature effect on 

the cross sections is negligible for wavelengths shorter than ~260 nm.Recent work by Mauersberger et al. 

[245,246] yields a value of 1137 × 10–20 cm2

 for the cross section at 253.7 nm, the mercury line wavelength; it 

is about 1% smaller than the commonly accepted value of 1147 × 10–20 cm2

 reported by Hearn [156]; about 2% 

smaller than the value obtained by DeMore and Raper [106] and Molina and Molina [270], 1157 × 10–20 cm2

; 

and 0.5% larger than the value obtained by Daumont et al. [101]. The reason for the small discrepancy, which 

appears to be beyond experimental precision, is unclear.

Malicet et al. [229] report cross section measurements in the 195–345 nm range, at temperatures between 218 

and 295 K, with a spectral bandwidth of 0.01–0.02 nm.; the results are in good agreement with the 

recommended values. Their data are presented in graphical form, and are also available in electronic format.

At room temperature (298 K) the uncertainties of the quantum yield values calculated with the above 

expression are estimated to be ±10 % (1σ) for Φ(λ, 298 Κ) ≥ 0.4, while the uncertainties are estimated to be 

±0.04 for Φ(λ, 298 Κ) < 0.4. At temperatures other than room temperature, the uncertainties are estimated to 

be ± 15 % for Φ(λ, Τ) ≥ 0.4 and ± 0.06 for Φ(λ, Τ) < 0.4. 

In the wavelength range 329–340 nm we recommend the value of Φ(O1

D) = 0.08 ± 0.04, independent of 

temperature. For λ > 340 nm, the quantum yield may be non-zero but no recommendation is made. For 

λ < 306 nm. the recommended quantum yield is 0.90, independent of temperature. 

The recommendation for the temperature and wavelength dependences of the quantum yield for O(1

D) 

production, Φ(O1

D), is taken from the review of Matsumi et al. [244]. Matsumi et al. derived the recommended 

values using the following procedure: The measured O(1

D) quantum yields at 298 K between 306 and 328 nm 

from eight studies (Talukdar et al. [398], Takahashi et al. [392], Ball et al. [19], Armerding et al. [16], Bauer et 

al. [28], Brock and Watson [44], Trolier and Wiesenfeld [403] and Smith et al. [383], were normalized using 

Φ(O1

D) = 0.79 at 308 nm. This value was derived from the studies listed in Table 1 of Matsumi et al. [244]. 

The resulting renormalized data were averaged. The wavelength dependence quantum yield data at various 

temperatures reported by Talukdar et al. [396,398], Takahashi et al. [392], Hancock and Hofzumahaus [149] 

(this includes all the data from the Oxford group), Bauer et al. [28] and Smith et al. [383] were normalized to 

the value at 308 nm given above. These normalized data were used to obtain the best-fit parameters for eqn. 4-1 

for the wavelength range 306–328 nm and temperature range 200–320 K.Because of the large number of 

studies upon which the 298 K evaluation is based, the averaged 298 K data were given a larger weight in the 

fitting procedure than the data at other temperatures. 

The major differences between this recommendation and that of JPL 00-3 [358] are: (1) inclusion of more 

recent data from Smith et al., Hancock and Hofzumahaus, and Bauer et al., (2)selective deletion of data from 
4-10

the previous data from some of the groups, especially the use of data from Bauer et al. [28] which superseded 

the data of Silvente et al. [375] from the same group, (3) correcting for small differences in the absorption cross 

sections of ozone used by various groups, and (4) the normalization of all data to the selected value at 308 nm. 

B1. HO2 + hν → OH + H. The absorption cross sections of the hydroperoxyl radical, HO2, in the 190–260 nm 

region have been measured at room temperature by Paukert and Johnston [311], Hochanadel et al. [161], Cox 

and Burrows [89], McAdam et al. [250], Kurylo et al. [206], Moortgat et al. [280], Dagaut and Kurylo [99], 

Lightfoot and Jemi-Alade [218], who measured the cross sections up to 777 K,Crowley et al. [97], Maricq and 

Szente [238], Roehl et al. [342] and Sander et al. [359] at 227.5 nm. The absorption cross sections have been 

evaluated in earlier reviews by Lightfoot et al. [217] and Wallington et al. [426] who noted significant 

discrepancies in both the shapes of the spectra and the absolute magnitudes of the cross section values, 

particularly around 200 nm. The published ultraviolet absorption spectra have recently been reevaluated by 

Tyndall et al. [408]. Herein, the spectra were fitted to an analytical equation suggested by Maric et al. [237]:

sections were based on relative measurements of absorption cross sections of HO2, CH3O2 and C2H5O2 at 

240 nm taken under identical conditions, combined with independent calibrations by Crowley et al. [97]. Table 

4-6 lists the recommended cross sections, which are taken from the review by Tyndall et al. [408]. 

Lee [212] has detected O(1D) as a primary photodissociation product at 193 and at 248 nm, with a quantum 

yield that is about 15 times larger at the longer wavelength. The absolute quantum yield for O(1

D) production 

has not been reported yet. 

Photolysis of HO2 in the stratosphere and troposphere is slow and can be neglected, but the UV absorption 

cross sections are important in laboratory studies of reaction kinetics.

B2. H2O + hν → H + OH. Water vapor has a continuum absorption spectrum at wavelengths longer than 145 nm, 

with a maximum around 165 nm, the cross sections falling off rapidly toward longer wavelengths; the 

photodissociation threshold occurs at 246 nm.Below 69 nm the spectrum is also a continuum, and between 69 

and 145 nm it consists of diffuse bands.In the atmosphere water vapor is photodissociated mainly by the solar 

Lyman alpha line (121.6 nm). 

The absorption cross sections and the photochemistry of water vapor have been reviewed, for example, by 

Hudson [168,169], by Hudson and Kiefer [170], by Calvert and Pitts [65], and by Okabe [300]. 

The recommended absorption cross sections are taken from the review by Hudson and Kiefer [170] and are 

listed in Table 4-7 between 175 and 190 nm. At these wavelengths the quantum yield for production of H and 
4-11

OH is unity. At shorter wavelengths H2 and O are also formed as primary products. Stief et al. [388] report a 

quantum yield of 0.11 for this process between 105 and 145 nm.

Ravishankara [414]. Molina and Molina [267] supersedes the earlier results of Molina et al. [273]. Nicovich and 

Wine measured the cross sections at λ ± 230 relative to the values at 202.6, σ = 4.32 × 10–19 cm2

, and at 

228.8 nm, σ = 1.86 × 10–19 cm2

. The values are within 2% of the recommended value.

 Nicovich and Wine have measured the temperature dependence of these cross sections. They expressed the 

measured cross sections as the sum of two components: σ1, due to absorption from H2O2, which has the O–O 

stretch excited; and σ0, due to absorption by ground state molecules. For atmospheric calculations the 

expression given in Table 4-9 may be used. The photodissociation quantum yield is believed to be unity. At and 

above 248 nm, the major photodissociation process is that leading to OH, i.e., the quantum yield for OH 

production is 2 (Vaghjiani and Ravishankara [415] and Vaghjiani et al. [416]). At 193 nm this quantum yield 

decreases to about 1.5 (Vaghjiani et al. [416]; Schiffman et al. [364]), and the quantum yield for O-atom 

production increases to about 0.16 (Vaghjiani et al. [416]).

C1. NO2 + hν → NO + O. Earlier recommendations for the absorption cross sections of nitrogen dioxide were 

taken from the work of Bass et al. [26]. More recent measurements have been reported by Schneider et al. 

[367], at 298 K, for the wavelength range from 200 to 700 nm, and by Davidson et al. [103], from 270 to 420 

nm, in the 232–397 K temperature range. At room temperature the agreement between these three sets of 

measurements is good (within 5% between 305 and 345 nm and within 10% at the longer wavelengths). The 

agreement is poor below room temperature, as well as at the shorter wavelengths. A possible cause for the 

discrepancies is the presence of N2O4. The corrections needed to account for the presence of this species are 

largest around 200 nm, where it absorbs strongly. The corrections are also large at the lowest temperatures, 

because a significant fraction of the NO2 forms N2O4. On the other hand, there is no error apparent in the 

corrections carried out by Bass et al., so that the reason for the discrepancy is not clear. Measurements of the 

absorption cross sections in the visible (440 to 460 nm), between 273 and 404 K, have been reported by 

Amoruso et al. [10], and Corcoran et al. [87] carried out high-resolution measurements at a few selected 

wavelength ranges between 470 and 616 nm, at 295, 573, and 673 K. Additional high-resolution studies of the 

cross sections, mainly aimed at improving the accuracy of atmospheric measurements, have been reported by 

Harwood and Jones [152], Coquart et al. [85], Mérienne et al. [257], Frost et al. [125], and Harder et al. [150]. 

Table 4-10 lists the recommended absorption cross sections, averaged over the wavelength intervals used for 

atmospheric photodissociation calculations. For the wavelength range from 200 to 274 nm the values are taken 

from Schneider et al. [367]; in this range the temperature effect is negligible. For the 274-to-420-nm region the 

temperature-dependent values are taken from Davidson et al. [103].

* The quantity a is the temperature coefficient of σ as defined in the equation:

where T is in degrees Celsius. 

 The earlier recommendation for quantum yields was based on the work of Harker et al. [151] and of Davenport 

[102] for the atmospherically important 375–470 nm region. The work by Gardner et al. [129] yields values that 

are in much better agreement with the values reported earlier by Jones and Bayes [193]. The recommended 

quantum yield values, listed in Table 4-11, are in agreement with the recommendation of Gardner et al. [129]; 

they are based on a smooth fit to the data of Gardner et al. [129] for the wavelength range from 334 to 404 nm; 

Harker et al. [151] for 397–420 nm (corrected for cross sections); Davenport [102] for 400–420 nm; and Jones 

and Bayes [193] for 297–412 nm. Direct measurements of the solar photodissociation rate of NO2 in the 

troposphere by Parrish et al. [310] and by Shetter et al. [374] agree better with theoretical estimates based on 

this recommendation than with the earlier one.

C2. NO3 + hν → NO + O2 (Φ1) 

NO3 + hν → NO2 + O (Φ2). The absorption cross sections of the nitrate free radical, NO3, have been studied by 

(1) Johnston and Graham [188], (2) Graham and Johnston [144], (3) Mitchell et al. [262], (4) Marinelli et al. 

[242], (5) Ravishankara and Wine [330], (6) Cox et al. [88], (7) Burrows et al. [60], (8) Ravishankara and 

Mauldin [327], (9) Sander [356], (10) Cantrell et al. [69], (11) Canosa-Mas et al. [67], and (12) Yokelson et al. 

[437]. The 1st and 4th studies required calculation of the NO3 concentration by modeling a complex kinetic 

system. The other studies are more direct, and the results in terms of integrated absorption coefficients are in 

good agreement. The recommended value at 298 K and 662 nm, (2.00 ± 0.25) × 10–17 cm2

, is the average of the 

results of studies (4), (5), and (7) through (11). The values in the wavelength range 600–670 nm, shown in 

Figure 4-1 and listed in Table 4-12, were calculated using the spectra measured in studies (8), (9), and (11), and 

with the 662 nm value normalized to the above average. The spectra obtained in other studies are consulted for 

a more extended wavelength range. The temperature dependence of the 662 nm band has been studied by 

Ravishankara and Mauldin, Sander, Cantrell et al., and Yokelson et al. Except for Cantrell et al., these studies 

all showed that the cross section at 662 nm increases with decreasing temperature. The reason for this 

discrepancy is not clear. 

The quantum yields Φ1 and Φ2 have been measured by Graham and Johnston [144], and under higher resolution 

by Magnotta and Johnston [227], who report the product of the cross section times the quantum yield in the 

400-to-630-nm range. The total quantum yield value, Φ1 + Φ2 , computed from the results of this latter study 
4-15

and the cross sections of Graham and Johnston [144], is above unity for λ <610 nm, which is, of course, 

impossible. Hence, there is some systematic error, and it is most likely in the primary quantum yield 

measurements. More recently, Orlando et al. [306] measured the photolysis quantum yields between 570 and 

635 nm.

Johnston et al.[186] have recently re-analyzed the available laboratory data relevant to NO3 photolysis, 

including quantum yield studies, chemiluminescence, LIF studies, and molecular-beam-scattering experiments. 

Their model reproduces the wavelength-dependent quantum yield data reasonably well. The new 

recommendation is based on the J-values calculated by Johnston et al. for overhead sun in the stratosphere: 

J1(NO + O2) = 0.0201 s–1

J2(NO2 + O) = 0.156 s–1

 Wavelength-specific quantum yields over the temperature range 190–298 K may be found in the tabulation by 

Johnston et al. 

The spectroscopy of NO3 has been reviewed by Wayne et al. [431]. The reader is referred to this work for a 

more detailed discussion of the cross section and quantum yield data and for estimates of the photodissociation 

rates as a function of zenith angle.

C3. N2O + hν → N2 + O(1

D). The recommended values are taken from the work of Selwyn et al. [371], who 

measured the temperature dependence of the absorption cross sections in the atmospherically relevant 

wavelength region. They have fitted their data with the expression shown in Table 4-13; Table 4-14 presents 

the room temperature data. Hubrich and Stuhl [165] remeasured the N2O cross sections at 298 K and 208 K and 

Merienne et al. [256] in the range from 220 K to 296 K. The results of these two sets of measurements are in 

very good agreement with those of Selwyn et al. The quantum yield for photodissociation is unity, and the 

products are N2 and O(1

D) (Zelikoff and Aschenbrand [448], Paraskevopoulos and Cvetanovic [307], Preston 

and Barr [320], Simonaitis et al. [381]). The yield of N(4

S) and NO(2Π) is less than 1% (Greenblatt and 

Ravishankara [147]).

Several groups have investigated the isotopic fractionation of N2O resulting from photolysis in the UV.

Fractionation factors have been measured by several groups following photolysis at several wavelengths in the 

193–213 nm range: Turatti et al. [404] employed high resolution FTIR spectroscopy; Rockmann et al. [340] 

used a modified isotope ratio mass spectrometric technique; and Rahn et al. [321] utilized conventional isotope 

ratio mass spectrometry. Zhang et al. [450] employed a low-resolution FTIR technique with N2O photolysis at 

213 nm, and Rockmann et al. [341] utilized a broadband photolysis source centered around 200 nm and 

simulating stratospheric actinic fluxes. The results are in reasonably good agreement, and indicate that the 

fractionation factors increase with photolysis wavelength from 193 to 213 nm. Furthermore, the fractionation 

factors show a clear dependence on the position of the 15N atom, in agreement with the theoretical model of 

Yung and Miller [447]; however, the theoretical calculations underestimate the laboratory results by about a 

factor of two. Analysis of the isotopic composition of stratospheric air samples yields results that are in 

qualitative agreement with the laboratory results, confirming that photolysis is the predominant sink for N2O 

[148,341]. On the other hand, the fractionation factors measured in the atmospheric samples are smaller than 

those reported from the laboratory studies, indicating the influence of atmospheric diffusion and mixing [341]. 

C4. N2O5 + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5 have been measured at 

room temperature by Jones and Wulf [192] between 285 and 380 nm, by Johnston and Graham [188] between 

210 and 290 nm, by Graham [143] between 205 and 380 nm, and for temperatures in the 223 to 300 K range by 

Yao et al. [436], between 200 and 380 nm. The agreement is good, particularly considering the difficulties in 

handling N2O5. The recommended cross section values, listed in Table 4-15, are taken from Yao et al. [436]. 

For wavelengths shorter than 280 nm there is little or no temperature dependence, and between 285 and 380 nm 

the temperature effect is best computed with the expression listed at the bottom of Table 4-15.Recent 

measurements of the cross sections and their temperature dependence by Harwood et al. [153] yield values in 

excellent agreement with this recommendation except at the longest wavelengths (380 nm) and lowest 

temperatures (233 K), where the new values are about 30% lower. However, the contribution to solar 

photodissociation from these longer wavelengths is negligible, and the differences between the predicted 

photolysis rates from the two sets of data are smaller than 3% (Harwood et al. [153]). 

There are several studies on the primary photolysis products of N2O5: Swanson et al. [391] have measured the 

quantum yield for NO3 production at 249 and at 350 nm, obtaining a value close to unity, which is consistent 

with the observations of Burrows et al. [59] for photolysis at 254 nm. Barker et al. [21] report a quantum yield 
4-18

for O(3

P) production at 290 nm of less than 0.1, and near unity for NO3. For O-atom production Margitan 

(private communication, 1985) measured a quantum yield value of 0.35 at 266 nm, and Ravishankara et al. 

[331] report values of 0.72, 0.38, 0.21 and 0.15 at 248, 266, 287, and 289 nm, respectively, with a quantum 

yield near unity for NO3 production at all these wavelengths.It appears, then, that NO3 is produced with unit 

quantum yield while the O-atom, and hence the NO yield, increases at shorter wavelengths, with a consequent 

decrease in the NO2 yield. The study of Oh et al. [299] indicates that, besides NO3, the primary photolysis 

products are a wavelength-dependent mixture of NO2, NO2* and NO + O, where NO2* represents one or more 

excited electronic states, most likely the 2

B1 state.

C5. HONO + hν → OH + NO. The ultraviolet spectrum of HONO between 300 and 400 nm has been studied by 

Stockwell and Calvert [389] by examination of its equilibrium mixtures with NO, NO2, H2O, N2O3 and N2O4; 

the possible interferences by these compounds were taken into account. More recently, Vasudev [421] 

measured relative cross sections by monitoring the OH photodissociation product with laser-induced 

fluorescence; and Bongartz et al. [38] determined absolute cross section values at 0.1 nm resolution in a system 

containing a highly diluted mixture of NO, NO2, H2O, and HONO, by measuring total NOx (NO and NO2).

There are some discrepancies between these two recent sets of results in terms of relative peak heights; 

however, both yield essentially the same photodissociation rate provided Vasudev's relative data are normalized 

to match the cross section value reported by Bongartz et al. at 354 nm. At this wavelength the value reported 

earlier by Stockwell and Calvert is about 20% smaller. The recommended values, listed in Table 4-16, are taken 

from Bongartz et al.

C6. HNO3 + hν → products. The recommended absorption cross sections and their temperature dependency, listed 

in Table 4-17, are taken from the work of Burkholder et al. [56]. The temperature effect is very important for 

estimates of atmospheric photodissociation; the results of Burkholder et al. agree well with those of Rattigan et 

al. [322,323], except at 238 K, where these latter authors report significantly smaller values. 

The new cross section values agree reasonably well at room temperature with the data of Molina and Molina 

[267], which provided the basis for the earlier recommendation. These data are also in good agreement 

throughout the 190–330 nm range with the values reported by Biaume [32]. They are also in very good 

agreement with the data of Johnston and Graham [187], except towards both ends of the wavelength range.

Okabe [301] has measured the cross sections in the 110–190 nm range and his results are 20–30% lower than 

those of Biaume and of Johnston and Graham around 185–190 nm. 

Johnston et al. [185] measured a quantum yield value of ~1 for the OH + NO2 channel in the 200–315 nm 

range, using end product analysis. The quantum yield for O-atom production at 266 nm has been measured to 

be 0.03, and that for H-atom production less than 0.002, by Margitan and Watson [234], who looked directly 

for these products using atomic resonance fluorescence.Jolly et al. [191] measured a quantum yield for OH 

production of 0.89 ± 0.08 at 222 nm. Turnipseed et al. [407] have measured a quantum yield near unity for OH 

production at 248 and 222 nm. However, at 193 nm they report this quantum yield to be only ~0.33, and the 

quantum yield for production of O-atoms to be about 0.8. Thus, it appears that HONO is a major photolysis 

product at 193 nm. These results are qualitatively in agreement with those reported by Schiffman et al. [364], 

namely a quantum yield for OH production of 0.47 at 193 nm, and of 0.75 at 248 nm.

Morel et al. [282], Graham et al. [145], Molina and Molina [267], and Singer et al. [382]. The latter three 

studies are the only ones covering the gas phase spectrum in the critical wavelength range for atmospheric 

photodissociation (λ ≥ 290 nm). The recommended values, listed in Table 4-18, are an average of the work of 

Molina and Molina [267] and of Singer et al. [382], which are the more direct studies. The cross sections 

appear to be temperature independent between 298 and 253 K (Singer et al. [382]). MacLeod et al. [226] report 

that photolysis at 248 nm yields one third OH and NO3 and two thirds HO2 + NO2.

D1. CH2O + hν → H + HCO (Φ1) 

 CH2O + hν → H2 + CO (Φ2). The earlier recommendation for the formaldehyde absorption cross sections was 

based on the work carried out by Bass et al. [25] with a resolution of 0.05 nm at 296 K and 223 K, and by 

Moortgat et al. [277,279] with a resolution of 0.5 nm in the 210–360 K temperature range. More recently, 

Cantrell et al. [68] measured the cross sections in the 300–360 nm range between 223 K and 293 K, and Rogers 

[345] measured the cross sections in the 235–365 nm range at 296 K, both groups using Fourier transform 

spectrometry at a resolution of up to 0.011 nm(1 cm–1). The agreement between these two reports is very good.

The recommended values are those given by Cantrell et al. as a function of temperature; the reader is referred 

to the original article to obtain the high-resolution data. Table 4-19 lists the low-resolution cross sections taken 

from that work, that are suitable for atmospheric photodissociation calculations. 

The quantum yields have been reported with good agreement by Horowitz and Calvert [162], Clark et al. [79], 

Tang et al. [400], Moortgat and Warneck [281], and Moortgat et al. [277,279]. The recommended values listed 

in Table 4-19 are based on the results of these investigators, as evaluated by S. Madronich (private 

communication, 1991). The quantum yield for the production of H2 and CO is pressure- and temperaturedependent for wavelengths longer than about 330 nm (Moortgat et al. [279]). Table 4-19 gives the values at 

atmospheric pressure and room temperature; the reader is referred to the Moortgat et al. publication for 

information on values at lower pressures and temperatures.

D2. CH3O2 + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of the methylperoxy radical, CH3O2, in the 

195–310-nm region have been measured at room temperature by Parkes et al. [309], Hochanadel et al. [160], 

Parkes [308], Anastasi et al. [12], Kan et al. [197], Cox and Tyndall [93,94] at 250 nm only; Adachi et al. [5], 

Sander and Watson [360] at 250 nm only; Pilling and Smith [316] at 254 nm only, Kurylo et al. [206], 

McAdam et al. [250], Jenkin et al. [181], Wallington et al. [425], Moortgat et al. [280], Dagaut and Kurylo 

[99], Simon et al. [377], Jenkin and Cox [180], Lightfoot and Jemi-Alade [218] who measured the cross 

sections up to 777 K., Maricq and Wallington [240], Wallington et al. [427], Roehl et al. [342], and Fahr et al. 
4-22

[114]. The absorption cross sections have been evaluated in earlier reviews by Lightfoot et al. [217] and 

Wallington et al. [426], who noted significant discrepancies in the both the shapes of the spectra and the 

absolute magnitude of the cross section values. The ultraviolet absorption spectra have recently been 

reevaluated by Tyndall et al. [408], who fitted the absorption spectra to a semilogarithmic Gaussian distribution 

function suggested by Lightfoot et al. [217] and Maric et al. [237] using:

Screening of the data suggested that most spectra published before 1987 did not constrain the shape of the 

spectrum very well as indicated by the large relative uncertainty of the width parameter a. The shape was 

determined by averaging the individual fitting parameters from McAdam et al., Moortgat et al. [280], Simon et 

al. [377], Lightfoot and Jemi-Alade [218], Jenkin and Cox [180] and Maricq and Wallington [240], which were 

judged to be most reliable by Tyndall et al. [408]. Absolute cross sections were based on relative measurements 

of absorption cross sections of CH3O2 and C2H5O2 at 240 nm taken under identical conditions (Wallington et 

al. [426], Maricq and Wallington [240], Fenter et al. [120] and Roehl et al. [342]), combined with independent 

calibrations by Dagaut and Kurylo [99], Simon et al. [377] and Lightfoot and Jemi-Alade [218]. The fitting 

parameters are: σmax = 4.26 × 10–18 cm2

 molecule–1; a = 44.4; λmax = 237.3 nm. Table 4-20 lists the 

recommended cross sections, which are taken from the review by Tyndall et al. 

Photolysis of CH3O2 in the stratosphere and troposphere is slow and can be neglected, but the UV absorption 

cross sections are important in laboratory studies of reaction kinetics.

The shape was determined by averaging the individual fitting parameters from Wallington et al., Bauer et al.,

sections were based on relative measurements of absorption cross sections of CH3O2 and C2H5O2 at 240 nm

Roehl et al. [342]), combined with independent calibrations. The fitting parameters are σmax = 4.52 × 10–18 cm2

molecule–1; a = 49.0; λmax = 239.4 nm. Table 4-20 lists the recommended cross sections, which are taken from 

the review by Tyndall et al. 

Photolysis of C2H5O2 in the stratosphere and troposphere is slow and can be neglected, but the UV absorption

D4. CH3OOH + hν → Products. Vaghjiani and Ravishankara [414] measured the cross sections of CH3OOH by 

monitoring the CH3OOH concentration via trapping and titration. These results are recommended and are listed 

in Table 4-21. The earlier results of Molina and Arguello [274] are consistently 40% higher than the values 

shown in Table 4-21; this difference is believed to be due to difficulty in trapping CH3OOH and measuring its 

concentration.CH3OOH dissociates upon light absorption to give CH3O with unit quantum yield (Vaghjiani 

and Ravishankara, [415]); these authors also observed some production of H and O atoms at shorter 

wavelengths (i.e., 193 nm). Thelen et al. [401] report unit quantum yield for OH production at 248 and 193 nm, 

in agreement with the results of Vaghjiani and Ravishankara.

D5. HCN + hν → Products. Herzberg and Innes [159] have studied the spectroscopy of hydrogen cyanide, HCN, 

that starts absorbing weakly at λ < 190 nm. 

The solar photodissociation rate for this molecule is rather small, even in the upper stratosphere; estimates of 

this rate would require additional studies of the absorption cross sections and quantum yields in the 200-nm 

region. 

D6. CH3CN + hν → Products. McElcheran et al. [251] have reported the spectrum of acetonitrile or methyl 

cyanide, CH3CN; the first absorption band appears at λ < 220 nm. More recently, Suto and Lee [390] and 

Zetzsch [449] have measured the cross sections around 200 nm; solar photodissociation is unimportant 

compared to reaction with OH radicals. 

D7 CH3C(O)O2 + hν → Products. The UV absorption spectrum of the acetylperoxy radical, CH3C(O)O2, exhibits 

two absorption maxima in the 185–285 nm region: a strong band near 207 nm, and a feature at 245 nm that is 

weaker by a factor of 2. The absorption cross sections have been measured at room temperature by Addison et 

al. [6], Basco and Parmer [24], Moortgat et al. [280], Maricq and Szente [239], and Roehl et al. [342]. The 

absorption cross sections have been evaluated in earlier reviews by Lightfoot et al. [217] and Wallington et al. 

[426], who noted significant discrepancies in the both the shapes of the spectra and the absolute magnitude of 

the cross section values. The ultraviolet absorption spectra have recently been reevaluated by Tyndall et al. 

[408], who fitted the absorption spectra to the sum of two Gaussian-shaped absorption bands:

 The shape was determined by averaging the individual fitting parameters from Maricq and Szente and Roehl et 

al., which were judged to be the most reliable to date; the data by Maricq and Szente were adjusted for their 

overcorrection for the contribution of CH3O2. Absolute cross sections were based on relative measurements of 

absorption cross sections of C2H5O2 at 240 nm taken under identical conditions. The fitting parameters are 

σmax1 = 6.29 × 10–18 cm2

 molecule–1; λmax1 = 206.0 nm; a1 = 168.0; σmax2 = 3.26 × 10–18 cm2 molecule–1; 

λmax2 = 246.1 nm; a2 = 64.2. Table 4-20 lists the recommended cross sections, which are taken from the review 

by Tyndall et al. 

Photolysis of CH3C(O)O2 in the stratosphere and troposphere is slow and can be neglected, but the UV 

absorption cross sections are important in laboratory studies of reaction kinetics. 

D8. CH3C(O)O2NO2 + hν → Products. Absorption spectra of CH3C(O)O2NO2 (PAN) have been measured by 

Senum et al. [372] over the range 200–300 nm, Libuda and Zabel [216] over the range 220–325 nm, and 

Talukdar et al. [395] over the spectral range 195–345 nm and temperature range 250–298 K. The three studies 

are in excellent agreement over their range of overlap, with the values of Senum et al. being slightly smaller 

(15–20%) beyond 250 nm. Libuda and Zabel carried out simultaneous infrared absorption studies that showed 

that the measured cross sections need to be corrected for impurities that are transparent in the ultraviolet but 

contribute to the sample pressure in the absorption cell. These corrections are on the order of 20%. The 

recommended cross sections (Table 4-22) are based on the measurements of Talukdar et al. because of the good 

agreement with Libuda and Zabel and the wider spectral coverage and temperature range of this study. The 

uncertainties in the reported cross sections are probably quite large (on the order of a factor of 2), decreasing to 

about 30% at shorter wavelengths. The only PAN quantum yield studies are those of Mazely et al. [248,249]. In 

these studies, PAN was photolyzed at 248 nm, with NO2 and NO3 products being observed by laser-induced 

fluorescence at 298 K. Quantum yields of 0.83±0.09 were obtained for the CH3C(O)O2 + NO2 channel and 

0.3±0.1 for the CH3C(O)O + NO3 channel.

 Cross sections in the temperature range 250–298 K are calculated using the equation, 

 ln(σ(Τ)/σ(298Κ)) = Β(Τ−298).

E1. HF + hν → H + F. The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of HF has been studied by Safary et al. [354]. The 

onset of absorption occurs at λ < 170 nm, so that photodissociation of HF should be unimportant in the 

stratosphere. 

E2. FNO + hν → F + NO. The absorption cross sections have been measured by Burley et al. [58], who report their 

results in graphical form as well as in tabular form in 1-nm intervals, between 180 and 350 nm. The spectrum 

shows vibronic structure at wavelengths longer than 250 nm. The cross section values are listed in Table 4-23 

in 2-nm intervals. The quantum yield for decomposition is expected to be unity (Brandon et al., [39]; Reid et 

al., [336]).

E3. CF4 +hν → products. See Note E4. 

E4. C2F6 + hν → products. CF4 and C2F6 do not absorb in the ultraviolet at wavelengths longer than 105 and 120 

nm, respectively (Sauvageau et al. [362,363]; Inn, [178]); therefore, they are not expected to photodissociate 

until they reach the mesosphere. 

E5. CF2O + hν → Products. The recommended absorption cross sections for CF2O, CCl2O and CClFO are listed in 

Table 4-24, as averages over the 500 cm–1 intervals commonly employed for atmospheric modeling (the 

wavelength given in the table is the center of the interval). The values for CCl2O are based on the work of 

Gillotay et al. [139], who measured the cross sections between 170 and 320 nm at temperatures ranging from 

210 to 295 K; the temperature effect is significant only at wavelengths longer than 250 nm. These cross section 

values are in good agreement with those recommended earlier, which were based on the data of Chou et al. 

[76]. For CClFO the recommended values are based on this latter work between 184 and 199 nm, and they are 

taken from the work of Nölle et al. [296] at the longer wavelengths. These workers measured the cross sections 

at temperatures ranging from 223 to 298 K; the temperature effect is not important for atmospheric 

photodissociation calculations, as is the case with CCl2O. For CF2O the cross section values are taken from 

Molina and Molina [268] between 184 and 199 nm, and from Nölle et al. [297] at the longer wavelengths. 

These authors measured the cross sections at 296 K between 200 and 230 nm.

The photodissociation quantum yield for CCl2O is unity (Calvert and Pitts [65]); the spectrum is a continuum.

Similarly, the quantum yield for CClFO is taken as unity; the spectrum shows little structure.In contrast, the 

CF2O spectrum is highly structured. Nevertheless, its photodissociation quantum yield is also taken as unity, as 
4-27

reported by Nölle et al. [297]. The self-reaction of the CFO photodissociation product regenerates CF2O, and 

hence the apparent quantum yield is less than unity.

E6. CF3OH + hν → Products.

 An upper limit of 10–21 cm2 has been determined experimentally by Molina and 

Molina [271] for the absorption cross sections of CF3OH in the 190–300-nm wavelength range. This upper 

limit is in agreement with estimates based on similarities between CF3OH and CH3OH, as well as with quantum 

chemistry calculations, as reported by Schneider et al. [368]. 

F1. Cl2 + hν → Cl + Cl. The recommended absorption cross sections are taken from the work of Maric et al. [235]; 

they can be calculated at various temperatures with the expression given at the bottom of Table 4-25. For 

convenience, some room temperature values are also listed in the table. Ganske et al. [128] have also measured 

the cross sections at room temperature, and the agreement with the recommended values is excellent. These two 

sets of data also agree well with the earlier recommendation, which was based on the work of Seery and Britton 

[370], which is in turn in good agreement with the results reported by Gibson and Bayliss [131], Fergusson et 

al. [121], and Burkholder and Bair [51]. The estimated atmospheric photodissociation rate is only weakly 

affected by the temperature dependency of the cross sections.

F2. ClO + hν → Cl + O. The absorption cross sections of chlorine monoxide, ClO, have been reviewed by Watson 

[430]. There are more recent measurements yielding results in reasonable agreement with the earlier ones, (1) 

Mandelman and Nicholls [232] in the 250–310 nm region; (2) Wine et al. [433] around 283 nm; (3) Rigaud et 

al. [337], (4) Jourdain et al. [194], (5) Sander and Friedl [357], (6) Trolier et al. [402] in the 270–310-nm 

region, and (7) Simon et al. [378] between 240 and 310 nm. The peak cross section at the top of the continuum 

is 5.2 × 10–18, based on the average of studies (4)–(7) and Johnston et al. [189]. Figure 4-2 shows a spectrum of 

ClO.It should be noted that the cross sections on the structured part are extremely dependent on instrument 

resolution, and the figure is only a guide to the line positions and approximate shapes. The cross sections of the 

continuum are independent of temperature (Trolier et al. [402]), while the structured part is extremely 

temperature dependent. The bands sharpen and grow with a decrease in temperature. 

The calculations of Coxon et al. [95] and Langhoff et al. [210] indicate that photodecomposition of ClO 

accounts for at most 2 to 3% of the total destruction rate of ClO in the stratosphere, which occurs 

predominantly by reaction with oxygen atoms and nitric oxide.

F3. ClOO + hν → ClO + O. Johnston et al. [189] measured the absorption cross sections of the ClOO radical using 

a molecular modulation technique that required interpretation of a complex kinetic scheme. More recently, 

Mauldin et al. [247] reported cross section measurements in the range from 220 to 280 nm, and Baer et al. [17] 

from 240 to 300 nm. These two studies are in very good agreement, yielding cross section values that are more 

than twice as large as the older Johnston et al. values. The recommended cross sections are listed in Table 4-26, 

and are taken from the work of Mauldin et al.

F4. OClO + hν → O + ClO. The spectrum of OClO is characterized by a series of well-developed progressions of 

bands extending from ~280 to 480 nm. The spectroscopy of this molecule has been studied extensively, and the 

quantum yield for photodissociation appears to be unity throughout the above wavelength range. See for 

example, the review by Watson [430].Birks et al. [35] have estimated a half-life against atmospheric 

photodissociation of OClO of a few seconds. 

The recommended absorption cross section values are those reported by Wahner et al. [424], who measured the 

spectra with a resolution of 0.25 nm at 204, 296, and 378 K, in the wavelength range 240 to 480 nm. Table 4-27 

lists the cross section values at the peak of the bands (a(0) to a(26)). Figure 4-3, from Wahner et al., shows the 

OClO spectrum at 204 K and at room temperature. Hubinger and Nee [163] have extended the measurements of 

OClO cross sections over the spectral range 125–470 nm. Frost et al. [126] have studied the spectrum at very 

high spectral resolution (0.1 cm–1) and at low temperature (200 K) in molecular beam expansion. In both of 

these studies, cross sections were measured relative to values obtained by Wahner et al. 

The photochemistry of OClO is extremely complex, with several electronic excited states involved in the 

photodissociation dynamics. Several channels have been observed at wavelengths important in the stratosphere, 

including O + ClO, Cl + O2 and isomerization to ClOO.Colussi [83] measured the quantum yield for chlorine 

atom production to be less than 0.01, and for oxygen atom production to be unity (within experimental error), 

both at 308 nm. Vaida et al. [417] and Ruhl et al. [352] reported chlorine atom production at 362 nm; and 

Bishenden et al. [36,37] measured the quantum yield for this process to be 0.15±0.10 around that same 

wavelength. In contrast, Lawrence et al. [211] report a quantum yield for Cl-atom production in the 

359–368-nm region of less than 5 × 10–4. This conclusion is supported by photofragment studies of Davis and 

Lee [105], who report Cl yields <0.2% below 370 nm, rising to a maximum of 4% near 404 nm. The 

recommendation is to use a quantum yield value of unity for the production of O-atoms. While accurate 

absorption cross section values are valuable for atmospheric measurements of OClO levels, the identity of the 

photodissociation products is only of minor importance in the context of atmospheric processes.

F5. ClO3 + hν → Products. The previous recommendation for absorption cross sections was based on the work of 

Goodeve and Richardson [141]. Lopez and Sicre [224] have shown that the spectrum reported by Goodeve and 

Richardson is most likely that of Cl2O6. Thermochemical estimates by Colussi et al. [84] further corroborate 

this assignment. No recommendation is given at present for the ClO3 cross sections. 

Grothe and Willner (1994; 1995) have reported UV and IR spectra of ClO3 trapped in a neon matrix.By 

monitoring the amount of ClO formed as a photolysis product, they estimated UV absorption cross sections of 

the order of 2 × 10–18 cm2

 around 400–450 nm. 

F6. Cl2O + hν → Products. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-28, are those reported by 

Knauth et al. [202] at 298 K. They are in very good agreement with the cross sections measured by Lin [220] 

and by Molina and Molina [265]; the discrepancy is largest at the longest wavelengths. Nee [288] has recently 

reported cross section measurements in the 150–200 nm wavelength region. 

Sander and Friedl [357] have measured the quantum yield for production of O-atoms to be 0.25±0.05, using a 

broadband photolysis source extending from 180 nm to beyond 400 nm. The main photolysis products are Cl 

and ClO. Using a molecular beam technique, Nelson et al. [289] found Cl + ClO to be the primary photodissociation channel at 193, 248, and 308 nm. More recently, Nickolaisen et al. [292] reported that broadband 

photolysis at wavelengths beyond 300 nm results in pressure-dependent ClO quantum yields. Furthermore, 

these authors detected a transient absorption spectrum, that they assigned to a metastable triplet state of Cl2O; 

the implication is that the photodecomposition quantum yield is less than unity at atmospherically relevant 

wavelengths, in spite of the continuous nature of the absorption spectrum. Additional experimental work is 

needed to corroborate this interpretation.

F7. ClOOCl + hν → Cl + ClOO. Recommended absorption cross sections in the wavelength range 190–450 nm for 

ClOOCl are listed in Table 4-29. The values for the wavelength range 200–360 nm are the average of 

experimental results reported by Cox and Hayman [90], DeMore and Tschuikow-Roux [107], Permien et al. 

[313], and Burkholder et al. [53]. For the 190–200-nm range the data are from DeMore and Tschuikow-Roux 

[107], these being the only data available in that range. Data at wavelengths greater than 360 nm were obtained 

from a linear extrapolation of the logarithm of the cross sections, using the expression 

log(1020 σ (cm2

)) = –0.01915 × λ(nm) + 7.589. For λ > 360 nm the extrapolated data are considered to be more 

reliable than the experimental measurements because of the very small dimer cross sections in this region. 

While the results of Cox and Hayman, DeMore and Tschuikow-Roux, Permien et al., and Burkholder et al. are 

in good agreement at wavelengths below 250 nm, there are significant discrepancies at longer wavelengths, 

which may be attributed to uncertainties in the spectral subtraction of impurities such as Cl2O, Cl2, and Cl2O2. 

Huder and DeMore [167] measured ClOOCl cross sections over the 190–310-nm range using a method that 

minimized the corrections required for impurities such as Cl2O. The cross sections from this study are 

significantly smaller (up to a factor of 2) than the current recommendation, particularly when extrapolated 

beyond 400 nm. Additional measurements are needed, particularly at the longer wavelengths, to check the 

results of Huder and DeMore. 
4-33

These studies also indicate that only one stable species is produced in the recombination reaction of ClO with 

itself, and that this species is dichlorine peroxide, ClOOCl, rather than ClOClO. Using submillimeter wave 

spectroscopy, Birk et al. [34] have further established the structure of the recombination product to be ClOOCl.

These observations are in agreement with the results of quantum mechanical calculations (McGrath et al. 

[254,255]; Jensen and Odershede [184]; Stanton et al. [387]).

[155],Burkholder et al. [52], and Harwood et al. [154]. The results from these studies are significantly different 

in the spectral regions below 240 nm and in the long-wavelength tail beyond 300 nm. Table 4-30 lists the 

recommended values. These are derived by averaging the spectra of Burkholder et al. and Harwood et al., 

which are obtained by the most direct methods. Additional work is needed, particularly in the spectral region 

beyond 300 nm.

and Richardson [141] was most likely that of Cl2O6. The cross section values measured by Lopez and Sicre are 

several times larger than those reported by Goodeve and Richardson, but the shape of the spectrum is similar.

F12. HOCl + hν → OH + Cl. The absorption cross sections of HOCl vapor have been measured by several groups. 

Molina and Molina [265] and Knauth et al. [202] produced this species using equilibrium mixtures with Cl2O 

and H2O; their results provided the basis for the earlier recommendation. More recently, Mishalanie et al. [261] 

and Permien et al. [313] used a dynamic source to generate the HOCl vapor. The cross section values reported 

by Molina and Molina [265], Mishalanie et al. [261], and Permien et al. [313] are in reasonable agreement 

between 250 and 330 nm. In this wavelength range, the values reported by Knauth et al. [202] are significantly 

smaller, e.g., a factor of 4 at 280 nm. Beyond 340 nm, the cross sections of Mishalanie et al. are much smaller 

than those obtained by the other three groups. At 365 nm, the discrepancy is about an order of magnitude. 

Burkholder [50] has remeasured the absorption spectrum of HOCl over the wavelength range 200 to 380 nm, 

following photolysis of equilibrium mixtures of Cl2O-H2O-HOCl. The obtained spectrum displays two 

absorption maxima at 242 and 304 nm, and is in excellent agreement with the work of Knauth et al. [202], but 

in poor agreement with the measurements of Mishalanie et al. [261] and Permien et al. [313]. The discrepancies 

can be attributed mostly to difficulties in correcting the measured absorptions for the presence of Cl2 and Cl2O. 

In the study by Burkholder, several control experiments were carried out in order to check the internal 

consistency of the data. Moreover, Barnes et al. [23] examined the near-UV spectrum of HOCl by monitoring 

the OH fragments resulting from photodissociation, and revealed a third weak band centered at 387 nm 

extending down to 480 nm. The recommended cross sections up to 420 nm, calculated from an analytical 

expression provided by Barnes et al. [23] and based on the values of Burkholder [50] and Barnes et al. [23], are 

listed in Table 4-34. The work by Jungkamp et al. [196] yields cross section values in excellent agreement with 

this recommendation for wavelengths shorter than 350 nm. 

Molina et al. [275] observed production of OH radicals in the laser photolysis of HOCl around 310 nm, and 

Butler and Phillips [62] found no evidence for O-atom production at 308 nm, placing an upper limit of ~0.02 

for the primary quantum yield for the HCl + O channel. Vogt and Schindler [422] used broadband photolysis in 

the 290–390 nm wavelength range, determining a quantum yield for OH production of >0.95.

F13. ClNO + hν → Cl + NO. Nitrosyl chloride has a continuous absorption extending beyond 650 nm. There is 

good agreement between the work of Martin and Gareis [243] for the 240-to-420-nm wavelength region, of 

Ballash and Armstrong [20] for the 185 to 540 nm region, of Illies and Takacs [175] for the 190-to-400-nm 

region, and of Tyndall et al. [409] for the 190-to-350-nm region except around 230 nm, where the values of 

Ballash and Armstrong are larger by almost a factor of two.Roehl et al. [344] measured the absorption cross 

sections between 350 and 650 nm at several temperatures between 223 and 343 K. Their room temperature 

results agree to within 15% with those of Martin and Gareis [243], Ballash and Amstrong [20], and Tyndall et 

al. [409]. Table 4-35 lists the recommended cross sections: these are taken from the work of Tyndall et al. [409] 

between 190 and 350 nm (unchanged from the previous recommendation), and from Roehl et al. [344] beyond 

350 nm. 

The quantum yield for the primary photolytic process has been reviewed by Calvert and Pitts [65]. It is unity 

over the entire visible and near-ultraviolet bands.

F14 ClNO2 + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of nitryl chloride, ClNO2, have been measured between 

230 and 330 nm by Martin and Gareis [243], between 185 and 400 nm by Illies and Takacs [175], and between 

270 and 370 nm by Nelson and Johnston [291], and by Ganske et al. [128] between 200 and 370 nm. A major 

source of discrepancies in the data results from the presence of impurities.Table 4-36 lists the recommended 

values, which are taken from Ganske et al. Nelson and Johnston [291] report a value of one (within 

experimental error) for the quantum yield for production of chlorine atoms; they also report a negligible 

quantum yield for the production of oxygen atoms.

F15. ClONO + hν → Products. Measurements in the near-ultraviolet of the cross sections of chlorine nitrite 

(ClONO) have been made by Molina and Molina [264]. Their results are listed in Table 4-37. The 

characteristics of the spectrum and the instability of ClONO strongly suggest that the quantum yield for 

decomposition is unity. The Cl–O bond strength is only about 20 kilocalories, so that chlorine atoms are likely 

photolysis products.

F16. ClONO2 + hν → Products. The recommended cross sections are taken from the work of Burkholder et al. [55]; 

the values are listed in Table 4-38, together with the parameters needed to compute their temperature 

dependency. These values are in very good agreement with those reported by Molina and Molina [266], which 

provided the basis for the previous recommendation, and which supersedes the earlier work of Rowland, 

Spencer, and Molina [349]. 

The identity of the primary photolytic fragments has been investigated by several groups. Smith et al. [384] 

report O + ClONO as the most likely products, using end product analysis and steady-state photolysis. The 

results of Chang et al. [71], who employed the very low-pressure photolysis (VLPPh) technique, indicate that 

the products are Cl + NO3. Adler-Golden and Wiesenfeld [7], using a flash photolysis atomic absorption 

technique, find O-atoms to be the predominant photolysis product and report a quantum yield for Cl-atom 

production of less than 4%. Marinelli and Johnston [241] report a quantum yield for NO3 production at 249 nm 

between 0.45 and 0.85, with a most likely value of 0.55; they monitored NO3 by tunable dye-laser absorption at 

662 nm. Margitan [233] used atomic resonance fluorescence detection of O- and Cl-atoms and found the 

quantum yield at 266 and at 355 nm to be 0.9 ± 0.1 for Cl-atom production and ~0.1 for O-atom production, 

with no discernible difference at the two wavelengths. These results were confirmed by Knauth and Schindler 

[203], who used end-product analysis to infer the quantum yields.Burrows et al. [61] report also Cl and NO3 as 

the photolysis products at 254 nm, with a quantum yield of unity within experimental error.In contrast, 

Nikolaisen et al. [293] report relative branching ratios of 0.44 for production of ClO and NO2 and 0.56 for 

production of Cl and NO3 at wavelengths beyond 300 nm. Minton et al. [260], Nelson et al. [290], and Moore 

et al. [276] measured comparable yields for these two channels at 193, 248, and 308 nm, using a molecular 

beam technique. 

The recommended quantum yield values for production of Cl + NO3 (φ1) and ClO + NO2 (φ2) are given at the 

bottom of Table 4-38 and are based on the work of Nelson et al. [290], Moore et al. [276], Nickolaisen et al. 

[293], and Ravishankara [326]. For wavelengths shorter than 308 nm the value of φ1 is 0.6, and for φ2 it is 0.4.

For longer wavelengths φ1 increases linearly to 0.9 at 350 nm, with the corresponding decrease in φ2 to 0.1.

There is no evidence for production of O + ClONO in the more recent work; the production of O-atoms 

reported in some of the earlier studies might have resulted from decomposition of excited NO3. 

Recent work by Nickolaisen et al. [293] indicates that the photodissociation quantum yield is less than unity at 

wavelengths longer than about 330 nm, because of the formation of a long-lived intermediate that might be 
4-39

quenched under atmospheric conditions (a situation analogous to that of Cl2O). Additional work is needed to 

address these issues, which have potentially important atmospheric consequences.

F17. CCl4 + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CCl4 have been measured at room temperature and 

110–200 nm by Russell et al. [353]; at 204–250 nm by Gordus and Bernstein [142]; at 186–226 nm by 

Rowland and Molina [347]; at 170–230 nm by Roxlo and Mandl [350]; and at 160–275 nm by Hubrich and 

Stuhl [165]; at 297–477 K and 250 nm by Currie et al. [98], at 279 and 296 K and 190–252 nm by VanlaethemMeurée et al. [418]; at 225–295 K and 174–250 nm by Simon et al. [379]; and at 220–300 K and 186–240 nm 

by Prahlad and Kumar [319]. The room temperature data agree within 10% between 190 and 235 nm and 

within 20% and 40% at 240 and 250 nm (except the value at 250 nm reported by Currie et al [98], which is 

lower than the half of the other values). The absorption curve based on the data (reported at 0.5-nm intervals) 

of Prahlad and Kumar [319] shows wiggles over the whole range 186–240 nm obviously due to experimental 

uncertainties. In the range 180–186 nm, the values reported by Hubrich and Stuhl [165] are higher by up to 

25% than those reported by Simon et al. [379], and the value at 186 nm reported by Prahlad and Kumar [319] is 

lower by 18% than the value of Simon et al. [379]. In the maximum near 176 nm, the absorption cross section 

is 1.01 × 10–17 cm2

, as reported by Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and Simon et al. [379], whereas the plotted 

spectrum reported by Roxlo and Mandl [350] shows a lower value of ~7 × 10–18 cm2

. For a wavelength of 313 

nm, an absorption cross section of ≤ 3.7 × 10–26 cm2

 was derived by Rebbert and Ausloos [332] from the 

C2H5Cl yield in the photolysis of CCl4-C2H6 mixtures. The preferred absorption cross sections at room 

temperature, listed in Table 4-39, are the mean of the values reported by Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and Simon et 

al. [379] at 174–192 nm, the values of Simon et al. [379] at 194–250 nm, and the data of Hubrich and Stuhl 

[165] at 255–275 nm. 

The temperature dependence of the absorption cross sections becomes significant at wavelengths above 205 

nm, where the cross sections decrease with decreasing temperature between 300 and 210 K as observed in good 

agreement by Simon et al. [379] and Prahlad and Kumar [319]. Simon et al. [379] parameterized the cross 

sections and the temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion 

log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn

and reported smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths 

corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The 

parameters An and Bn for the ranges T = 210–300 K and λ = 194–250 nm are as follows: 
4-41

A0 = –37.104 B0 = 1.0739 

A1 = –5.8218 × 10–1 B1 = –1.6275 × 10–2

A2 = 9.9974 × 10–3 B2 = 8.8141 × 10–5

A3 = –4.6765 × 10–5 B3 = –1.9811 × 10–7

A4 = 6.8501 × 10–8 B4 = 1.5022 × 10–10

 Quantum yields ≥0.9 and ~0.75 for the photodissociative processes CCl4 + hν → CCl3 + Cl at 213.9 nm and 

CCl4 + hν → CCl2 + 2Cl at 163.3 nm, respectively, were derived from the gas-phase photolysis of CCl4 in the 

presence of HCl, HBr, and C2H6 by Rebbert and Ausloos [332]. A quantum yield for Cl*(2

P1/2) atom formation 

in the broad band photolysis of CCl4, Φ(Cl*) = 0.78 ± 0.27, was reported by Clark and Husain [80].

F18. CH3OCl + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CH3OCl have been determined by Crowley et al. 

[96] and by Jungkamp et al. [196]. The preferred cross sections, listed in Table 4-40, are the mean of the values 

reported by these two groups. The agreement between the two sets of measurements is excellent at wavelengths 

longer than 250 nm; at the maximum near 230 nm the results of Jungkamp et al. are about 15% smaller.

F19. CHCl3 + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CHCl3 have been measured at room temperature and 

in the far UV region at 113–182 nm by Lucazeau et al. [225]; at the Lyman-α line at 121.6 nm by Brownsword 

et al. [46]; and at 110–200 nm by Russell et al. [353]; at room temperature and 222.7 nm by Gordus and 

Bernstein [142]; at 160–255 nm by Hubrich and Stuhl [165]; at 279 and 296 K and 190–230 nm by 

Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [418]; and at 225–295 K and 174–240 nm by Simon et al. [379]. The room 

temperature data of Vanlaethem- Meurée et al. [418] and Simon et al. [379] are identical at 190–210 nm and 

increasingly deviate up to ~15% at 212–240 nm. The data of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and Simon et al. [379] 

agree within 10 % between 180 and 234 nm; however the values of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] become 

increasingly larger by up to~25% than those of Simon et al. [379] in the long-wavelength tail. In the region of 

the absorption maximum at ~176 nm, there is the largest spread: a cross sections of ~5 × 10–18 cm2

 has been 

measured by Simon et al. [379] in contrast to values of 3.7 × 10–18 cm2

 reported by Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and 

<2 × 10–18 cm2

 given in a plot by Lucazeau et al. [225]. We therefore recommend absorption cross sections 

only for the region above 180 nm. The values, listed in Table 4-41, are the mean of the values reported by 

Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and Simon et al. [379] for the range 180–240 nm. For the range 242–256 nm, these 

have been extrapolated (log σ = –1.2277 – 0.0844 λ) (in italics). 

The temperature dependence of the absorption cross sections becomes significant at wavelengths above 

194 nm, where the cross sections decrease with decreasing temperature between 295 and 210 K. Simon et al. 

[379] parameterized the cross sections and the temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion 

log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and reported smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 

295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in 
4-43

stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The parameters An and Bn for the ranges T = 210–300 K and 

λ = 190–240 nm are as follows: 

A0 = 269.80 B0 = 3.7973 

A1 = –6.0908 B1 = –7.0913 × 10–2

A2 = 4.7830 × 10–2 B2 = 4.9397 × 10–4

A3 = –1.6427 × 10–4 B3 = –1.5226 × 10–6

A4 = 2.0682 × 10–7 B4 = 1.7555 × 10–9

Quantum yields for H atom formation have been measured in the far UV by Brownsword et al. [46], [47]: 

Φ(H) = 0.23 ± 0.03 and 0.13 at 121.6 and 157.6 nm, respectively, whereas H atoms could not be detected in the 

photolysis at 193.3 nm.

by Gordus and Bernstein [142], at 160–255 nm by Hubrich and Stuhl [165]; at 279 and 296 K and 176–216 nm 

by Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [418]; and at 225–295 K and 176–220 nm by Simon et al. [379]. The room 

temperature data of Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [418] and Simon et al. [379] are nearly identical. The data of 

Hubrich and Stuhl [165] agree with those of Simon et al. [379] within 12% at 176–206 nm and become 

increaseingly larger at 185–220 nm by up to 50%. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-42, 

are the mean of the values reported by Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and Simon et al. [379] at 176–220 nm. For 

wavelengths above 220 nm, the average of their data at 200–210 nm has been extrapolated (log σ = –2.1337 – 

0.08439 λ) (in italics) at wavelengths up to 256 nm. The measured values of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] are 

smaller by up to 7% below 230 nm and become larger by up to 50% between 235 and 255 nm than the 

extrapolated values. 

The temperature dependence of the absorption cross sections becomes significant at wavelengths above 190 

nm, where the cross sections decrease with decreasing temperature between 295 and 210 K. Simon et al. [379] 

parameterized the cross sections and the temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion

F21. CH3Cl + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CH3Cl have been measured at room temperature and 

110–200 nm by Russell et al. [353]; at the Lyman-α line at 121.6 nm by Brownsword et al. [46]; at 171.2 nm by 

Felps et al. [119]; and at 174–220 nm by Robbins [338]; at 208 and 298 K and 158–235 nm by Hubrich et al.

range 174–216 nm, those of Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [418] and Simon et al. [379] are nearly identical. The 

value at 171 nm of Felps et al. [47] is smaller by ~15% than that of Hubrich et al. [166]. The preferred 

absorption cross sections, listed in 
4-45

Table 4-43, are the mean of the values reported by Robbins [338], Hubrich et al. [166], and Simon et al. [379] 

at 174–184 nm, the mean of the values reported by Robbins [338], Hubrich et al. [166], Vanlaethem-Meurée et 

al. [418], and Simon et al. [379] at 186–216 nm, and the mean of the values reported by Robbins [338] and 

Hubrich et al. [166] at 218–220 nm. The values for the wavelength range 222–236 nm have been taken from an 

interpolation (at 2-nm intervals) of the 200–235-nm data of Hubrich et al. [166] (log σ = –0.24164 – 0.09743 

λ). 

The temperature dependence of the absorption cross sections becomes significant at wavelengths above 194 

nm, where the cross sections decrease with decreasing temperature between 295 and 210 K. There is very good 

agreement between the low-temperature values at 250–255 K of Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [418] and Simon et 

al. [379]. The latter authors parameterized the cross sections and the temperature dependence by the polynomial 

expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ΣAnλn

 + (T – 273) × ΣBnλn and reported smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, 

and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in 

stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The parameters An and Bn for the ranges T = 210–300 K and 

λ = 174–216 nm are as follows:

A0 = –299.80 B0 = –7.1727

 Quantum yields for H atom formation have been measured in the far UV by Brownsword et al. [46], [47]:

the absorption cross sections in the range 170–190 nm for the concentration and absorption cross sections of a 

1,4-dioxane stabilizer present during the experiments. Measurements at 220–295 K and 182–240 nm were 

carried out by Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [420] and at 223–333 K and 160 240 nm by Nayak et al. [287]. The 

latter authors also measured the absorption cross sections in the liquid phase at 235–260 nm and used a 

wavelength-shift procedure to convert the liquid-phase data into gas-phase data. The agreement of the room 

temperature data is within 20% at 165–205 nm (at 160 nm, the value reported by Nayak et al. [287] is larger by 

50% than that reported by Hubrich and Stuhl [165]). Between 210 and 240 nm, the data of Vanlaethem-Meurée 

et al. [420] and Nayak et al. [287] are within 15%, whereas those of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] are larger by 100–

150%. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-44, are the mean of the values reported by 

Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and Nayak et al. [287] at 170–180 nm, the mean of the values reported by 

Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [420], Hubrich and Stuhl [165], and Nayak et al. [287] at 185–205 nm, and the mean 

of the values reported by Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [420] and Nayak et al. [287] at 210–240 nm. For 

wavelengths above 240 nm, the average of their data at 220–240 nm has been extrapolated (log σ = –1.59792 – 

0.08066 λ) at wavelengths up to 255 nm. The measured values of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] are larger by up to 

~140% at 250 nm and smaller by ~80% at 255 nm than the recommended values. 

The temperature dependence of the absorption cross sections becomes significant at wavelengths above 

210 nm, where the cross sections decrease with decreasing temperature, as observed in good agreement at 333–

223 K by Nayak et al. [287] and at 295–210 K by Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [420]. The latter authors 

parameterized the cross sections and the temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = 

∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and reported smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, 

and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric 

photodissociation calculations. The parameters An and Bn for the ranges T = 210–300 K and λ = 182–240 nm 

reported by Gillotay and Simon [138] are as follows: 

A0 = 341.085191 B0 = –1.660090

226 nm by Robbins and Stolarski [339], at 186–209 nm by Greene and Wayne [146]; at 213–296 K and 185–

226 nm by Chou et al. [78]; at 208 and 298 K and 158–260 nm by Hubrich et al. [166] and Hubrich and Stuhl 

[165]; at 255, 279, and 296 K and 190–220 nm by Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [419]; at 225–295 K and 174–

230 nm by Simon et al. [379]; and at 220, 240, and 296 K and 200–238 nm by Mérienne et al. [256]. The room 

temperature data are in good agreement, generally within 10–15%. Absorption cross sections at 148–225 nm 

have also been derived from electron energy-loss measurements by Huebner et al. [171], which are up to 30% 

higher than the values obtained by optical measurements. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in 

Table 4-47, are the values of Simon et al. [379] at 174–198 nm, the mean of the values reported by Simon et al. 

[379] and Mérienne et al. [256] at 200–230 nm, and the data of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] at 235–260 nm. 

Measurements in the far UV at 60–145 nm have been reported by Gilbert et al. [132], and at 120–200 nm by 

Doucet et al. [110]. 

The temperature dependence becomes significant at wavelengths above 185 nm, where the cross sections 

decrease with decreasing temperature between 296 and 210 K (Hubrich et al. [166] observed such a behavior 

only above 200 nm). Simon et al. [379] parameterized the temperature dependence of the cross sections by the 

polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ΣAn λn

 + (T – 273) × ΣBn λnand reported smoothed values for T = 210, 

230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals 

generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The parameters An and Bn for the ranges T = 

210–300 K and λ = 174–230 nm are as follows: 

A0 =–84.611 B0 = –5.7912 

A1 = 7.9551 × 10–1 B1 = 1.1689 × 10–1

A similar polynomial expansion, log10 σ(λ, T) = Σan (λ – 200)n

 + (T – 296) × Σbn(λ – 200)n, for the ranges T = 

220–296 K and λ = 200–238 nm was used by Mérienne et al. [256] with the following parameters an and bn:

F31. CF2Cl2 (CFC-12) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF2Cl2 have been measured at room 

temperature and 210 nm by Gordus and Bernstein [142], at 186–216 nm by Rowland and Molina [347], at 174–

216 nm by Robbins and Stolarski [339], at 186–206 nm by Greene and Wayne [146]; at 234–442 K and 213.9 

nm by Rebbert and Ausloos [333]; at 212, 252, and 296 K and 184–221 nm by Chou et al. [78]; at 208 and 298 

K and 159–240 nm by Hubrich et al. [166]; at 255, 279, and 296 K and 190–216 nm by Vanlaethem-Meurée et 

al. [419]; at 225–295 K and 174–230 nm by Simon et al. [379]; and at 220, 240, and 296 K and 200–231 nm by 

Mérienne et al. [256]. The room temperature data are in good agreement, generally within 10–15%, except the 

data of Green and Wayne [146] above 195 nm and the data of Rowland and Molina [347] around 210 nm. 

Absorption cross sections at 148–218 nm have also been derived from electron energy-loss measurements by 

Huebner et al. [171], which agree within 10% with the data obtained by optical measurements around the 

absorption maximum and become higher than the optical data by up to 100% above 196 nm. The preferred 

absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-51, are the values of Hubrich et al. [166] at 170–172 nm, the mean 

of the values reported by Hubrich et al. [166] and Simon et al. [379] at 174–178 nm, the values of Simon et al. 

[379] at 180–198 nm, the mean of the values reported by Simon et al. [379] and Mérienne et al. [256] at 200–

226 nm, and the data of Mérienne et al. [256] at 228–230 nm. For the range 232–240 nm, the absorption curve 

above 210 nm of Mérienne et al. [256] has been extrapolated (log σ = 2.1448 – 0.1061 λ). The measured values 

of Hubrich et al. [166] are lower by up to ~40% at 240 nm than the extrapolated values. 

 High-resolution absorption cross section measurements have been carried out by Seccombe et al. [369] between 

50 and 150 nm, and by Limao-Vieira et al. [219] between 113 and 225 nm using a synchrotron radiation light 

source. The results of Limao-Vieira et al. for the absorption band at 170–204 nm are in very good agreement 

with the recommendation in Table 4-48 (at wavelengths above 204 nm, noise effects become significant). The 

new cross section measurements for the far UV region from both recent studies significantly improve upon the 

earlier data of Gilbert et al. [132] for the wavelength range 60–135 nm and of Doucet et al. [110] for the 

wavelength range 120–200 nm. 

The temperature dependence becomes significant at wavelengths above 186 nm, where the cross sections 

decrease with decreasing temperature between 296 and 210 K. Simon et al. [379] parameterized the 

temperature dependence of the cross sections by the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) 

× ∑Bnλn

 and reported smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths 
4-50

corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The 

parameters An and Bn for the ranges T = 210–300 K and λ = 174–226 nm are as follows: 

A0 =–711.02 B0 = 6.1648 

A1 = 12.490 B1 = –1.2093 × 10–1

A2 = –8.2865 × 10–2 B2 = 8.8587 × 10–4

A4 = –2.6113 × 10–7 B4 = 3.4904 × 10–9

A similar polynomial expansion, log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑an (λ – 200)n

 + (T – 296) × ∑bn(λ – 200)n, for the ranges T = 

220–296 K and λ = 200–231 nm was used by Mérienne et al. [256] with the following parameters an and bn: 

a0 = –43.8954569 b0 = 4.8438 × 10–3

F32. CF3Cl (CFC-13) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF3Cl have been measured at room 

temperature and 184–203 nm by Chou et al. [77]; at 255, 279, and 296 K and 172–200 nm by VanlaethemMeurée et al. [419]; at 208 and 298 K and 160–220 nm by Hubrich and Stuhl [165]; and at 225–295 K and 

172–200 nm by Simon et al. [379]. The values of Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [419] and Simon et al. [379] are 

identical, the room temperature values of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] deviate from the latter by up to about ±25%, 

and the data of Chou et al. [77] are always larger by about 15–30% in the region 185–200 nm. The 

recommended absorption cross sections for CF3Cl, presented in Table 4-49, are taken from Simon et al. [379] 

for the range 172–200 nm. The values at 202–220 nm are obtained by extrapolation of the absorption curve 

above 200 nm (log σ = –5.048 – 0.0834 λ) of Simon et al. [379]. 

Measurements in the far UV at 65–130 nm have been reported by Gilbert et al. [132] and at 120–160 nm by 

Doucet et al. [110]. Measurements at the Lyman-α line at 121.6 nm have been carried out by Ravishankara et 

al. [328]. 

Temperature effects, if any, could not be detected by Vanlaethem-Meurée et al. [419] and Simon et al. [379], 

whereas Hubrich and Stuhl [165] report a decrease of the absorption cross sections between 298 and 208 K by 
4-51

4% at160 nm to 74% at 205 nm. Simon et al. [379] parameterized the cross sections and the temperature 

dependence of the absorption cross sections by the polynomial expansion 

log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn (with all Bn = 0), 

and reported smoothed values for T = 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the 

wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The parameters An for the 

ranges T = 210–300 K and λ = 172–200 nm are: 

A0 =–1.55.88, A1 = 2.0993, A2 = –1.0486 × 10–2, A3 = 1.6718 × 10–5.

F33. CF2ClCFCl2 (CFC-113) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF2ClCFCl2 have been measured at 

298 K and 184–224 nm by Chou et al. [77]; at 208 and 298 K and 160–250 nm by Hubrich and Stuhl [165]; 

and at 225–295 K and 184–230 nm by Simon et al. [380]. The room temperature values agree within about 

10% except in the region around 190 nm where the values of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] are smaller by up to 20 

% than the other values. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-50, are the values of Hubrich 

and Stuhl [165] at 175–180 nm, a value at 184 nm interpolated between those of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] at 

180 nm and Simon et al. [380] at 186 nm, and the values of Simon et al. [380] at 186–230 nm. For the range 

232–250 nm, the absorption curve of Simon et al. [380] above 230 nm has been extrapolated 

(log σ = –0.9860 – 0.0894 λ). The measured values of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] are larger than the extrapolated 

values by ~20–80% at 232–250 nm. 

Measurements in the far UV at 110–200 nm have been carried out by Doucet et al. [111]. 

The temperature dependence becomes significant at wavelengths above 194 nm and below 170 nm, where the 

cross sections decrease with decreasing temperature. This was observed by Simon et al. [380] at 295–225 K 

and by Hubrich and Stuhl [165] at 298 and 208 K. Simon et al. [380] parameterized the temperature 

dependence of the cross sections by the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and 

reported smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths 

corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The 

parameters An and Bn for the ranges T = 210–300 K and λ = 182–230 nm are as follows: 

A0 =–1087.9 B0 = 12.493 

A1 = 20.004 B1 = –2.3937 × 10–1

A2 = –1.3920 × 10–1 B2 = 1.7142 × 10–3

F34. CF2ClCF2Cl (CFC-114) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF2ClCF2Cl have been measured 

at room temperature and 184–219 nm by Chou et al. [77]; at 208 and 298 K and 160–235 nm by Hubrich and 

Stuhl [165]; and at 225–295 K and 182–220 nm by Simon et al. [380]. The room temperature values of Simon 

et al. [380] and Chou et al. [77] agree within 5% except for a hump around 195 nm in the absorption curve 

reported by Chou et al. [77]. The values of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] are always larger than those of Simon et al. 

[380], around 190 nm by up to ~40% and between 200 and 220 nm up to ~50% with increasing wavelength. 

The recommended absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-51, are the values of Simon et al. [380] at 172–

220 nm. For the range 222–235 nm, the absorption curve above 200 nm of Simon et al. [380] has been 

extrapolated (log σ = –1.8233 – 0.00913 λ). The measured values of Hubrich et al. [165] are larger by ~40% in 

that range than the extrapolated values 

Measurements at the Lyman-α line at 121.6 nm have been carried out by Ravishankara et al. [328]; and at 110–

190 nm by Doucet et al. [111]. 

The temperature dependence has been observed at wavelengths above 190 nm, where Simon et al. [380] report 

decreasing cross sections with decreasing temperature 295–210 K. Hubrich and Stuhl [165] report for the range 

160–210 nm and between 298 and 208 K a small decrease of the cross sections (generally <10%, except two 

data points). Simon et al. [380] parameterized the temperature dependence of the cross sections by the 

polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and reported smoothed values for T = 210, 

230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals 

generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The parameters An and Bn for the ranges T =

F35. CF3CF2Cl (CFC-115) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF3CF2Cl have been measured at 

room temperature and 184–207 nm by Chou et al. [77]; at 208 and 298 K and 160–230 nm by Hubrich and 

Stuhl [165]; and at 225–295 K and 172–204 nm by Simon et al. [380]. The room temperature data of Simon et 

al. [380] and Hubrich and Stuhl [165] agree within ~20%, where Hubrich and Stuhl [165] report the larger 

values over the range 172–204 nm. The data of Chou et al. [77] are larger by up to more than 50% than those of 

Simon et al. [380]. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-52, are the mean of the values 

reported by Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and Simon et al. [380] at 172–204 nm. The mean of the values measured 

by Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and those obtained by extrapolating the absorption curve of Simon et al. [380] (log 

σ = –6.2191 – 0.0756 λ) were taken for the range 205–230 nm (the extrapolated values become larger by up to 

nearly 50% with increasing wavelength than the measured values of Hubrich and Stuhl [165]). 

Measurements at the Lyman-α line at 121.6 nm have been carried out by Ravishankara et al. [328]; and at 120–

175 nm by Doucet et al. [111]. 

Temperature effects, if any, could not be detected for this highly fluorinated species. Simon et al. [380] 

parameterized the absorption cross sections by the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) 

× ∑Bnλn

 (with all Bn = 0), and reported smoothed values for T = 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths

F36. CHFCl2 (HCFC-21) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CHFCl2 have been measured at room 

temperature and 208 nm by Gordus and Bernstein [142]; at 174–222 nm by Robbins and Stolarski [339]; at 

184–205 nm by and Green and Wayne [146]; and at 213.9 nm by Rebbert et al. [335]; at 208 and 298 K and 

158–235 nm by Hubrich et al. [166]; and at 225–295 K and 174–222 nm by Simon et al. [379]. The results of 
4-54

these groups (except those of Green and Wayne [146] which deviate strongly) are in good agreement, generally 

within 15%, although the data of Hubrich et al. [166] show humps around 205 and 220 nm, where the 

agreement is only ~40%. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-53, are the values of Simon 

et al. [379] at 174–222 nm. For the range 224–236 nm, the absorption curve above 200 nm of Simon et al. 283] 

has been extrapolated (log σ = 0.9806 – 0.1014 λ). The measured values of Hubrich et al. [166] deviate from 

the extrapolated values by up to ~–20% and +50%. 

Measurements in the far UV at 60–120 nm have been reported by Gilbert et al. [132], measurements at 120–

200 nm by Doucet et al. [110], and a measurement at 147 nm by Rebbert et al. [335]. 

The temperature dependence becomes significant at wavelengths above 190 nm, where the cross sections 

decrease with decreasing temperature between 296 and 210 K. Simon et al. [379] parameterized the 

temperature dependence of the cross sections by the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-54, are the values of Hubrich et al. [166] at 170–172 nm and the 

values of Simon et al. [379] at 174–204 nm. For the range 206–220 nm, the absorption curve above 190 nm of 

Simon et al. [379] has been extrapolated (log σ = –4.1001 – 0.0870 λ). The measured values of Hubrich et al. 

[166] deviate from the extrapolated values by up to 20%. 

Measurements in the far UV at 60–160 nm have been reported by Gilbert et al. [132], and measurements at 

120–200 nm by Doucet et al. [110]. 

A weak temperature dependence has been observed above 190 nm, where the cross sections decrease with 

decreasing temperature between 296 and 210 K. Simon et al. [379] parameterized the cross sections and the 

temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

F39. CF3CHCl2 (HCFC-123) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF3CHCl2 have been measured at 

room temperature and 185–204 nm by Green and Wayne [146]; at 225–295 K and 170–250 nm by Gillotay and 

Simon [136]; at 203–295 K and 190–230 nm by Orlando et al. [305]; and at 223–333 K and 160–230 nm by 

Nayak et al. [286]. The agreement between the results of the latter three groups is within 25% in the region 

below 220 nm. The results of Green and Wayne [146] are very different below 200 nm. The preferred 

absorption cross sections at 295 K, listed in Table 4-56, are the mean of the values reported by Gillotay and 

Simon [136] and Nayak et al. [286] at 170–188 nm and the mean of the values reported by Gillotay and Simon 

[136], Orlando et al. [305], and Nayak et al. [286] at 190–230 nm. For the range 232–250 nm, the absorption 

curve above 210 nm of Orlando et al. [305] has been extrapolated (log σ = –3.1097 – 0.0794 λ). 

The studies of the temperature dependence show a decrease of the absorption cross sections with decreasing 

temperature at wavelengths above 178–180 nm and below 170 nm. Between 170–180 nm, the reverse behavior 

was observed by Gillotay and Simon [136] and Nayak et al. [286]. An irregular temperature dependence was 

reported by Orlando et al. [305] for the range 210–230 nm, where the absorption curves show wiggles.

Various parameterized fits, i.e., polynomial expansions of the logarithm of the absorption cross section, have 

been proposed for the temperature dependence. Gillotay and Simon [136] parameterized the cross sections and 

the temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and 

reported smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths 

corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The 

parameters An and Bn for the ranges T = 210–300 K and λ = 182–250 nm are as follows:

A0 =–513.996354 B0 = 1.757133

A4 = –1.999514 × 10–7 B4 = 1.037756 × 10–9. 

 Nayak et al. [286] report sixth-order polynomial coefficients for the functions log10 (σT) = ∑Cn (λ – 170)n

 at 

T = 223, 233, 253, 273, 295, 313, and 333 K and for the range 160–230 nm. The parameters Cn are as follows:

F40. CF3CHFCl (HCFC-124) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF3CHFCl have been measured at 

203–295 K and 190–230 nm by Orlando et al. [305]; and at 210–295 K and 170–230 nm by Gillotay and 

Simon [137]. The agreement is better than 10 % between 190 and 220 nm, whereas above 220 nm the values of 

Orlando et al. [305] become increasingly larger by up to 133% than those of Gillotay and Simon [137]. The 

preferred room temperature values, listed in Table 4-57, are the values of Gillotay and Simon [137] at 170–188 

nm and 222–230 nm and the mean of the values reported by Gillotay and Simon [137] and Orlando et al. [305] 

at 190–220 nm. 

The temperature dependence of the cross sections has been measured by both groups and a decrease of the 

absorption cross sections with decreasing temperature was observed at 170–230 nm by Gillotay and Simon 

[137] and at 190–215 nm by Orlando et al. [305]. An irregular temperature behavior was reported by Orlando 

et al. [305] for the range 215–230 nm, where the absorption curves show wiggles. Parameterized fits, i.e., 

polynomial expansions of the logarithm of the absorption cross section, have been derived. Gillotay and Simon 

[137] parameterized the cross sections and the temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion 

log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and reported smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 

K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric 

photodissociation calculations. The parameters An and Bn for the ranges T = 210–300 K and 

λ = 170–230 nm are as follows:

) by Ichimura et al. [174], and 186–203 nm by Green and

F42. CH3

CFCl2 (HCFC-141b) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CH3CFCl2 have been measured at 

210–295 K and 170–240 nm by Gillotay and Simon [136]; at 203–295 K and 190–230 nm by Orlando et al. 

[305] (data of Orlando et al. reported by Gillotay and Simon [138]); at 203–295 K and 190–230 nm by 

Talukdar et al. [393]; and at room temperature and 190–240 nm by Fahr et al. [113], who investigated the 

spectrum both for the gas and liquid phases and used a wavelength-shift procedure to convert the liquid-phase 

data into gas-phase data. The agreement between the values reported by Gillotay and Simon [136] and Fahr et 

al. [113] for the 190–240-nm region is very good (1–10% up to 236 nm); the results of Orlando et al. [305] are 

also in good agreement with these, but only in the region 190–210 nm. The agreement of the results of 

Talukdar et al. [393] is not as good, their absorption cross sections become smaller below 210 nm by up to 

~20% and become larger above 210 nm by up to about 70% than the above mentioned data. The preferred 

absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-59, are the values of Gillotay and Simon [136] at 170–188 nm and 

the mean of the values reported by Gillotay and Simon [136] and Fahr et al. [113] at 190–240 nm. 

A decrease of the absorption cross sections with decreasing temperature at wavelengths above 188 nm and 

below 172 nm and the reverse behavior between 172 and 188 nm was observed by Gillotay and Simon [136]. 

They parameterized the cross sections and the temperature dependence of the absorption cross sections using 

the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn . They derived the parameters 

A0 = –682.913042 B0 = 4.04747

A1 = 12.122290 B1 = –8.05899 × 10–2

A2 = –8.187699 × 10–2 B2 = 5.946552 × 10–4

A3 = 2.437244 × 10–4 B3 = –1.945048 × 10–6

2-nm intervals and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric 

photodissociation calculations. A similar temperature behavior was observed by Orlando et al. [305] only 

between 190 and 210 nm, and by Talukdar et al. [393] only above 197 nm.

and 208 K and 160–230 nm by Hubrich and Stuhl [165]; at 210–295 K and 170–230 nm by Gillotay and Simon 

[136]; at 203–295 K and 190–230 nm by Orlando et al. [305]; and at 223–333 K and 160–210 nm by Nayak et 

al. [286]. At wavelengths below 200 nm, the values of Hubrich and Stuhl [165] and Nayak et al. [286] are 

within 15%, those of Gillotay and Simon [136] and Orlando et al. [305] are lower than the latter by up to 30%. 

At wavelengths between 200 and 215 nm, the values of Gillotay and Simon [136], Orlando et al. [305], and 

Nayak et al [286] agree within 15%. Above 215 nm, the absorption curve reported by Orlando et [305] shows 

wiggles with deviations by up to 100% from the data of Gillotay and Simon [136]. Also the values reported for 

the range 205–230 nm by Hubrich and Stuhl [165] become increasingly large by up to 600% than those of 

Gillotay and Simon [136] .The results of Green and Wayne [146] are very different from all other data. The 

preferred room temperature absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4–60, are the mean of the values reported 

by Hubrich and Stuhl [165], Gillotay and Simon [136], and Nayak et al. [286] at 175–185 nm, the mean of the 

values reported by Gillotay and Simon [136], Orlando et al. [305], and Nayak et al. [286] at 190–210 nm, and 

the values reported by Gillotay and Simon [136] at 212–230 nm. 

A decrease of the absorption cross sections with decreasing temperature was observed by Gillotay and Simon 

[136] and Nayak et al. [286] over the wavelength range 160–230 nm and by Orlando et al. [305] between 190 

and 200 nm. An irregular temperature behavior was reported by Orlando et al. [305] for the range 215–230 nm, 

where the absorption curves for the various temperatures show several crossings. Various parameterized fits for 

the temperature dependence of the absorption cross sections have been offered. Gillotay and Simon [136] used 

the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and reported smoothed values for 

T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals 

generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. Their parameters An and Bn for the ranges

G1. BrO + hν → Br + O. The BrO radical has a banded spectrum in the 290–380 nm range. The strongest 

absorption feature is around 338 nm. The measured cross sections are both temperature- and resolutiondependent. As an example, the spectrum measured by Wahner et al. [423] is shown in Figure 4-4. The bands are 

due to a vibrational progression in the A ← X system, and the location of the bands, along with the assignments 

and cross sections measured using 0.4 nm resolution, are shown in Table 4-62.BrO is expected to dissociate 

upon light absorption. As a guide, the cross sections averaged over 5 nm wavelength intervals are taken from 

the work of Cox et al. [92], and are listed in Table 4-63. These authors estimate a BrO lifetime against 

atmospheric photodissociation of ~20 seconds at the earth's surface, for a solar zenith angle of 30°. 

The earlier BrO cross section measurements were carried out mostly around 338 nm, and these have been 

reviewed by CODATA ([81,82]).

G2. HOBr + hν → Products. The absorption spectrum of HOBr has been measured by Orlando and Burkholder 

[304], Deters et al. [108], Benter et al. [31], Rattigan et al. [324], and Ingham et al. [176]. The spectra cluster 

has been measured in two groups. Orlando and Burkholder [304], Deters et al. [108], and Benter et al. [31] 

observe between 240 and 400 nm two absorption bands with maxima near 284 and 351 nm; the spectra agree 

reasonably well in their shape, but show a sharp decrease in cross section above 400 nm. In contrast, the cross 

sections reported by Rattigan et al. [324] and Ingham et al. [176] are roughly 50 % larger between 300 and 

400 nm. 

In addition, the spectrum obtained by Rattigan et al. shows a pronounced tail extending to 520 nm, whereas 

Ingham et al. observe unambiguously a third weaker absorption band ranging to 550 nm with a maximum at 

457 nm. These last two studies confirm the observations of Barnes et al. [22], who showed that laser photolysis 

of HOBr between 440–600 nm gives rise to OH fragments. The presence of a weak band beyond 400 nm is 

attributable to the presence of a forbidden transition from the ground electronic to a triplet state predicted by 

the ab initio calculations of Francisco et al. [122]. The differences in the spectral shapes are probably 

attributable to impurities such as Br2O and Br2, and/or the use of different Br2O cross sections. However, the 

presence of impurities alone cannot explain the large difference in cross sections at the peak of the absorption 

bands. 

The recommended absorption cross sections are listed in , in the range from 250 to 550 nm; below 250 nm the 

data are uncertain and no recommendation is given. The cross section values in the table are based on the latest 

study by Ingham et al. [176]. These authors generated HOBr in situ by laser photolytic production of OH in the 

presence of Br2, and determined the HOBr spectrum using a gated diode camera shortly after the pulse, 

circumventing the problem associated with the presence of the strong absorbing impurity Br2O, which was 

encountered in previous studies. The calibration of the absorption cross sections was made relative to the 

established cross sections of Br2. 

The data presented in Table 4-64 are computed with the following expression taken from Ingham et al. [176], 

which is based on a combination of three Gaussian fits, one for each absorption band:

σ(λ): 10–20 cm2 molecule–1; 250 < λ < 550 nm. 

 Benter et al. [31] measured quantum yields for HOBr photolysis at 261 and 363 nm (near the peaks of the 

second absorption bands). The observed quantum yield for Br formation at 363 nm was greater than 0.95, and a 

unity quantum yield into the product channel OH + Br is recommended. The other channel O + HBr was not 

observed. The laser photofragment study of Barnes et al. [22] claimed that OH was the major photolysis 

product at wavelengths beyond 400 nm. Lock et al. [222] found that at 490 and 510 nm OH and Br fragments 

are in their respective vibrational and spin-orbit ground states. The assumption of unit quantum yield of OH 

formation should be confirmed experimentally.

G3. BrONO2 + hν → Products. The bromine nitrate cross sections have been measured at room temperature by 

Spencer and Rowland [386] in the wavelength region 186–390 nm, and by Burkholder et al. [54] from 200–

500 nm. The results from both studies are in excellent agreement over the range of spectral overlap. The 

recommended cross sections (Table 4-65) are taken from Burkholder et al.

The only study of photolysis products is that of Nickolaisen and Sander [292].In that study, quantum yields for 

the Br + NO3 and BrO + NO2 channels were measured using broadband photolysis in quartz (λ>200 nm) and 

pyrex (λ>300 nm) reaction cells with the assumption that these were the only reaction pathways. The quantum 

yields were ΦBrO+NO2

 = 0.71 and ΦBr+NO3 = 0.29.

G5. CH3Br + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CH3Br have been measured at room temperature and 

205–270 nm by Davidson [104]; at 204–260 nm by Gordus and Bernstein [142]; at 174–270 nm by Robbins 

[338]; at 200–260 nm by Uthman et al. [413]; at 190–290 nm by Molina et al. [272]; at 201.6 nm by Felps et al. 

[119]; at 180–264 nm by Man et al. [230]; and at 210–295 K and 180–280 nm by Gillotay and Simon [133]. 

Above 180 nm and below 270 nm, the room temperature values of Gordus and Bernstein [142], Robbins [338], 

Uthman et al. [413], Molina et al. [272], Gillotay and Simon [133], and the values of Davidson [104] above 

210 nm are in very good agreement, i.e., generally within 10% and around the absorption maximum at 200–

202 nm within 2%. The value at 202 nm of Felps et al. [119] is lower by ~10% than the rest of the data. The 

data of Man et al. [230], given as a plot in their paper, are lower by 20–30% over the whole absorption band 

than the above mentioned agreeing data sets. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-67, are 

the values of Robbins [338] at 174–178 nm; the mean of the values reported by Gillotay and Simon [133] and 

Robbins [338] at 180–188 nm; the mean of the values reported by Gillotay and Simon [133], Uthman et al. 

[413], and Robbins [338] at 190–198 nm; the mean of the values reported by Gillotay and Simon [133], Molina 

et al. [272], Uthman et al. [413], and Robbins [338] at 200–260 nm; the mean of the values reported by Gillotay 

and Simon [133], Molina et al.[272], and Robbins [338] at 262–268 nm; the mean of the values reported by 

Gillotay and Simon [133] and Molina et al. [272] at 270–280 nm; and the data of Molina et al. [272] at 

285–290 nm. 

A slight temperature dependence was observed above 220 nm, where the absorption cross sections decrease 

with decreasing temperature 295–210 K. Gillotay and Simon [133] parameterized the cross sections and the 

temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and reported 

smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the 

wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The parameters An and Bn

for the ranges T = 210–300 K and λ = 200–280 nm are as follows: 

A0 = 46.520 B0 = 9.3408 × 10–1

A1 = –1.4580 B1 = –1.6887 × 10–2

A2 = 1.1469 × 10–2 B2 = 1.1487 × 10–4

A3 = –3.7627 × 10–5 B3 = –3.4881 × 10–7

A4 = 4.3264 × 10–8 B4 = 3.9945 × 10–10

Quantum yields for Br and H atom formation in the photodissociation of CH3Br were measured at 298 K by 

Talukdar et al. [399]. The quantum yields for Br atom formation were found to be close to unity, 

Φ(Br) = 1.05 ± 0.11, 1.10 ± 0.20, and 1.01 ± 0.16 at 193, 222, and 248 nm, respectively; the quantum yield for 

H atom formation in the photolysis at 193 nm was measured to be Φ(H) = 0.002 ± 0.001, whereas H atoms 

could not be detected in the photolysis at 222 and 248 nm. Broad band flash photolysis of CH3Br produced 

Br*(2

P1/2) atoms with a quantum yield Φ(Br*) = 0.15 ± 0.12 as reported by Ebenstein et al. [112].

G6. CH2Br2 + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CH2Br2 have been measured at room temperature 

and 200–300 nm by Molina et al. [272]; at 210–295 K and 174–290 nm by Gillotay et al. [138], [135]; and at 

250–348 K and 215–300 nm by Mössinger et al. [283]. The results are in good agreement, at 200–255 nm 

within 10% and up to 275 nm within 30%. The preferred room temperature values, listed in Table 4-68, are the 

values of Gillotay et al. [138], [1325] at 174–198 nm; the mean of the values reported by Molina et al. [272] 

and Gillotay et al. [138], [135] for the wavelength range 200–215 nm; the mean of the values reported by the 

three groups for the wavelength range 220–290 nm; and the values of Mössinger et al. [283] at 295–300 nm. 

Both studies of the temperature dependence show a decrease of the absorption cross sections with decreasing 

temperature at wavelength above ~235–239 nm, and the reverse behavior around the absorption maximum 

down to 207 nm. At lower wavelengths, Gillotay et al. [135,138] report between 210 and 295 K a slight 

increase of σ at 175–189 nm and a slight decrease around the weaker absorption maximum at 198–201 nm. The 

latter group parameterized the cross sections and the temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion 

log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and report smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, 

every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric 

photodissociation calculations. The parameters An and Bn for the ranges 210–290 nm and 210–300 K are as 

follows: 

A0 = –70.211776 B0 = 2.899280 

A1 = 1.940326 × 10–1 B1 = –4.327724 × 10–2

A2 = 2.726152 × 10–3 B2 = 2.391599 × 10–4

A3 = –1.695472 × 10–5 B3 = –5.807506 × 10–7

A4 = 2.500066 × 10–8 B4 = 5.244883 × 10–10

Mössinger et al. [283] list the temperature coefficients B(λ) at 5-nm intervals for the ranges 215–300 nm and 

250–348 K for the empirical relation ln σ(λ, T) = ln σ(λ, 298K) + B(λ)x(T–298). The formulae used by 

Gillotay et al. [135,138] and Mössinger et al. [283] produce cross sections which agree at 250 K within 5% in 

the range 215–265 nm and within 10% in the range 270–285 nm.

G7. CHBr3 + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CHBr3 have been measured at 240–295 K and 170–

310 nm by Gillotay et al. [133] and at 256–296 K and 286–362 nm by Moortgat et al. [278]; the agreement in 

the overlap region is excellent. The recommended cross sections at room temperature, listed in Table 4-69, are 

the values of Gillotay et al. [133] for the range 170–284 nm; the mean of the values reported by Gillotay et al. 

[133] and Moortgat et al. [278] for the range 286–310 nm; and the values of Moortgat et al. [278] at 286–362 

nm. 

The studies of the temperature dependence show an increase of the absorption cross sections with decreasing 

temperature around the three absorption maxima at 178–189 nm, 194–208 nm, and 208–234 nm, and a 

decrease of the absorption cross sections below 179 nm, at 189–194 nm and above 235 nm. Gillotay et al. [133] 

parameterized the cross sections and the temperature dependence by the polynomial expansion 

log10 (σ(λ, T)) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn

and report smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths 

corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The 

parameters An and Bn for the ranges 240–310 nm and 210–300 K are given by Gillotay and Simon [135]: 

A0 = –110.2782 B0 = –1.5312 × 10–1

A1 = 1.0281 B1 = 1.6109 × 10–3

A2 = –3.6626 × 10–3 B2 = –5.8075 × 10–6

A3 = 4.1226 × 10–6 B3 = 7.2893 × 10–9

For wavelengths longer than 290 nm, the atmospherically important range, Moortgat et al. [278] give the 

expression 

σ(λ,T) = exp {(0.06183 – 0.000241 λ) (273 – T) – (2.376 + 0.14757 λ)} (λ = 290–340 nm, T = 210–300 K) 

These two formulae produce continuous absorption curves for the range 240–340 nm also at low temperatures 

At wavelengths longer than 290 nm, the cross sections are relatively small; the presence of impurities as well as 

optical artifacts arising, e.g., from adsorption of CHBr3 on the cell windows, complicate the measurements. 

Hence, additional investigations of the spectrum would be useful.

G11. CHClBr2 (Halon-1012) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CHClBr2 have been measured at 

room temperature and 106–200 nm by Ibuki et al. [172]; and at 240, 261, and 296 K and 200–310 nm by Bilde 

et al. [33]. Two absorption bands are apparent above 200 nm, one maximizing near 210 nm and the other near 

240 nm. Near the band maxima, the cross sections at 240 K are approximately higher by 10% than those at 

room temperature. A positive temperature dependence of the cross sections is evident in the long-wavelength 

tail of the spectrum, the room temperature cross section being about 15% higher at 270 nm than that obtained at 

240 K. The recommended absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-73, are the room temperature data of 

Bilde et al. [33] (originally listed at 1-nm intervals); values at 2-nm intervals are given for wavelengths above 

212 nm, and values at 1-nm intervals are given or the region of the first absorption maximum (200–212 nm),

[64], which are given only in a plot in their paper, agree between 200 and 260 nm within ≤15% with the room 

temperature data of Bilde et al. [33], the absorption maximum, however, is shifted to lower wavelengths. The 

recommended absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-74, are those reported by Bilde et al. [33]. 

A decrease of the absorption cross sections with decreasing temperature was observed between 298 and 253 K 

over the whole spectrum. The cross section in the absorption maximum, which has been observed at 220 nm by 

Bilde et al. [33], is approximately 6% lower at 253 K than at room temperature. An increasingly positive 

temperature dependence was observed at longer wavelengths, the room temperature cross section at 320 nm 

becoming about four times larger than those at 253 K.

G14. CHF2Br (Halon-1201) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CHF2Br have been measured at 

room temperature and 207–255 nm by Davidson [104]; at 190–280 nm by Talukdar et al. [394]; and at 190–

280 nm by Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302]. Gillotay et al. [138] carried out measurements at 210–295 K and in 

the wavelength range 166–267 nm and report only smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K and 

at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation 

calculations. The results of Davidson [104], Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302], and Gillotay et al. [138] are in 

excellent agreement at wavelengths below 240 nm; the values of Gillotay et al. [138] become increasingly 

smaller by up to about 40% at 260 nm, and those of Davidson [104] become smaller by up to about 30% at 

250 nm than the values of Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302]. The results of Talukdar et al. [394], who report a 

plot on a logarithmic scale for measured values at 190–280 nm and extrapolated values up to 360 nm, appear to 

be in agreement with the results of Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302]. The preferred values, listed in Table 4-76, 

are the values of Gillotay et al. [138] at the centers of the 500-cm–1 intervals between 168 and 188 nm, and the 

values of Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302] at 190–280 nm. 

With decreasing temperature 295–210 K, an increase of the absorption cross sections around the absorption 

maximum at 168–215 nm and a decrease at wavelengths above 215 nm was observed by Gillotay et al. [104] 

(the interpolation formula has not been reported for this molecule).

G15. CF2Br2 (Halon-1202) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF2Br2 have been measured at room 

temperature and 215–290 nm by Davidson [104]; at 200–310 nm by Walton et al. [428]; at 190–340 nm by 

Molina et al. [272]; at 190–320 nm by Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302]; at 210–295 K and 170–304 nm by 

Gillotay and Simon [134]; and at 210–296 K and 190–320 nm by Burkholder et al. [57]. The room temperature 

data, except those of Walton [428], are in good agreement, i.e., better than 10%, over their common wavelength 

range from 190 to 300 nm. In the absorption maximum around 226 nm, the older data of Davidson [172] and 

Molina et al. [272] are the highest and lowest, respectively, and the more recent data agree within 5% (the 

absorption maximum reported by Walton [428] is larger by ~50%). At wavelengths above 300 nm, the values 

of Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302] and Burkholder et al. [57] agree within 15%, whereas those of Molina et al. 

[272] become increasingly larger by up to ~200% at 320 nm ( and larger by up to ~660% than the extrapolated 

values at 340 nm, see below). The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-77, are the values of 

Gillotay and Simon [134] at 170–188 nm; the mean of the values reported by Gillotay and Simon [134], Orkin 

and Kasimovskaya [302], and Burkholder et al. [57] for the wavelength range 190–304 nm; and the mean of 

the values reported by the latter two groups for the range 306–320 nm. For wavelengths 322–340 nm, the mean 
4-77

of the values of Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302], and Burkholder et al.[57] for the range 306–320 nm have been 

extrapolated (log σ = 1.85109 – 0.07755 λ). 

Measurements in the far UV were reported by Doucet et al. [109] for the wavelength range 60–220 nm and by 

Seccombe et al. [369] for the wavelength range 55–175 nm.

Both studies of the temperature dependence show an increase of the absorption cross sections in the two 

absorption bands around 190 and 226 nm with decreasing temperature 296–210 K and the reverse effect at 

wavelengths above 240 nm and below 177 nm. Gillotay and Simon [134] observed a regular temperature 

behavior, i.e., an increase of the maximum absorption cross section at ~225 nm by ~0.09 × 10–18 cm2

 molecule–

1

 per 20-K temperature decrease. Burkholder et al.[57] observed a less pronounced temperature behavior below 

250 K (the maximum absorption cross sections agree within 1%), so that their maximum cross section at 210 K 

is lower by 5% than that observed by Gillotay and Simon [134] (in contrast to the cross sections at room 

temperature which are nearly identical). Different parameterizations for the temperature dependence of the 

absorption cross section have been proposed. Gillotay and Simon [134] give the polynomial expansion 

log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn and report smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, 

every 2 nm, and at wavelengths corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric 

photodissociation calculations. The parameters An and Bn for the ranges 222–304 nm and 210–300 K are as 

follows: 

A0 = –206.2 B0 = 1.0460 × 10–1

A1 = 2.3726 B1 = –1.4124 × 10–3

A2 = –1.0527 × 10–2 B2 = 6.9015 × 10–6

A3 = 1.9239 × 10–5 B3 = –1.5164 × 10–8

A4 = –1.2242 × 10–8 B4 = 1.3990 × 10–11

 Burkholder et al. [57] give the expansion 

 log10 σ(λ, T) = (∑Ai (λ – 268.7998)I

) (1 + (296–T) ∑Bi (λ – 268.7998)I) 

 and report the following parameters Ai and Bi for the ranges 235–260 nm and 210–296 K: 

A0 = –44.42756 B0 = 1.481886 × 10–4

A1 = –1.464955 × 10–1 B1 = 6.77182 × 10–6

A2 = –5.692188 × 10–4 B2 = 1.154347 × 10–7

A3 = 1.155366 × 10–5 B3 = –2.77145 × 10–11

A4 = –1.399502 × 10–7 B4 = –6.619515 × 10–11

A parameterization for extrapolated absorption cross sections up to 400 nm, 

log10 σ(λ, T) = (∑Ai (λ – 301.0104)I

) + (λ – 260) (∑Bi (T – 251.2)I) 

has also been reported by Burkholder et al. [57]. 

The quantum yield for formation of CF2O and Br2 in the photolysis of CF2Br2 at 206, 248, and 302 nm, in the 

presence of O2 has been measured to be unity by Molina and Molina [269], independent of pressure, in contrast 

to an earlier report by Walton [428] that the quantum yield at 265 nm decreases from unity when the system 

pressure is raised to 50 torr of CO2. Primary quantum yields for Br atom formation, Φ(Br) = 1.96 ± 0.27, 

1.63 ± 0.19, and 1.01 ± 0.15, in the photodissociation of CF2Br2 at 193, 222, and 248 nm, respectively, were 

measured at 298 K by Talukdar et al. [399]. A quantum yield for CF2 formation, Φ(CF2) = 1.15 ± 0.30, in the 

193-nm photolysis was reported by Talukdar et al. [397].

G16. CF2ClBr (Halon-1211) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF2ClBr have been measured at 

room temperature and 191–307 nm by Giolando et al. [140]; at 190–330 nm by Molina et al. [272]; at 190–

304 nm by Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302]; at 210–295 K and 170–302 nm by Gillotay and Simon [134]; and at 

210–296 K and 190–320 nm by Burkholder et al. [57]. The agreement between the room temperature data of 

Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302], Gillotay and Simon [134], and Burkholder et al. [57] is very good in the region 

of the absorption band, i.e., within 10% over the range 190–240 nm and within 3% in the maximum at 205–

206 nm, with one exception: Gillotay and Simon [134] observed a structure near the absorption maximum, 

different from the other observations, which resulted in values higher by about 10% at 200–202 nm. Molina et 

al. [272] reported values for the range 190–240 nm which are lower by 10–20% than the above mentioned data. 

The few data points (at 10-nm intervals) of Giolando et al. [140] fit well to the absorption curves reported by 

Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302], Gillotay and Simon [134], and Burkholder et al. [57]. The deviations between 

the various data sets increase at longer wavelengths to ≤30% at 300 nm and up to 55% at 320 nm. The 

preferred absorption cross sections at 295–298 K, listed in Table 4-78, are the values of Gillotay and Simon 

[134] at 170–188 nm; the mean of the values reported by Molina et al. [272], Gillotay and Simon [134],

Molina et al. [272], Burkholder et al. [57], and Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302] at 304 nm; and the mean of the 

values reported by Molina et al. [272] and Burkholder et al. [57] at 306–320 nm. 

Measurements in the far UV at 60–220 nm were reported by Doucet et al. [109].

Both studies of the temperature dependence show an increase of the absorption cross sections in the absorption 

band around 204–206 nm with decreasing temperature 296–210 K and the reverse effect at wavelengths above 

233 nm and below 180 nm. Gillotay and Simon [134] observed a regular temperature behavior, i.e., an increase 

of the maximum absorption cross section by ~0.05 × 10–18 cm2

 molecule–1 per 20 K temperature decrease. 

Burkholder et al. [57] observed a less pronounced temperature behavior (the maximum absorption cross 

sections agree within 2.5%), so that their maximum cross section at 210 K is lower by 15% than that observed 

by Gillotay and Simon [134] (in contrast to the cross sections at room temperature which are within 4%). 

Different parameterizations for the temperature dependence of the absorption cross section have been proposed.

G17. CF3Br (Halon-1301) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF3Br have been measured at room 

temperature and 207–255 nm by Davidson [172]; at 170–230 nm by Roxlo and Mandl [350]; at 180–400 nm by

of the absorption band between 190 and 230 nm with the exception of the data of Davidson [253] below 210 

nm and the whole data set of Roxlo and Mandl [350]. Pence et al. [312] report a plot of the absorbance (in 

arbitrary units) and give for 193 nm an absorption cross section smaller by one order of magnitude than the rest 

of the data for 193 nm. At wavelengths above 250 nm, Burkholder et al. [57] and Orkin and Kasimovskaya 

[302] measured higher values (up to ~ 35% at 270 nm) than those reported by Molina et al. [272] and Gillotay

 molecule–1 per 20 K temperature 

decrease. Burkholder et al. [57] observed a less pronounced temperature behavior (the maximum absorption

G19. CF3CHClBr (Halon-2311) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF3CHClBr have been 

measured at room temperature and 190–310 nm by Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302]; at 210–295 K and 170–290 

nm by Gillotay et al. [138]; and at 223–298 K and 200–310 nm by Bilde et al. [33]. The room temperature 

values are in good agreement within 5–15% at wavelengths below 280 nm, where Gillotay et al. [138], [135] 

report the lowest, Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302] the highest values. At wavelengths above 280 nm, the data of 

Bilde et al. [33] become increasingly higher (up to 100% at 310 nm) than those of Orkin and Kasimovskaya 

[302]. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-81, are the values of Gillotay et al. [138] at 

170–188 nm; the mean of the values reported by Gillotay et al. [138] and Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302] at 

190–198 nm; the mean of the values reported by the three groups at 200–290 nm; and the mean of the values 

reported by Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302] and Bilde et al. [33] at 292–310 nm. 

The study of the temperature dependence by Gillotay et al. [138] shows an increase of the absorption cross 

sections in the absorption band between 192 and 238 nm with decreasing temperature 295–210 K and the 

reverse effect at wavelengths above 238 nm and below 192 nm; the increase in the absorption maximum at 

~202 nm is ~0.024 × 10–18 cm2

 molecule–1 per 20 K temperature decrease, i.e., an increase by ~10% between 

295 and 210 K. Bilde et al. [33] observed a less pronounced temperature behavior in the absorption band (the 

maximum absorption cross sections agree within 3%) and a decrease of the absorption cross sections with 

decreasing temperature at wavelengths above 214 nm. 

Gillotay and Simon [138] parameterized the cross sections and the temperature dependence of the absorption 

cross section by the polynomial expansion 

log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn

and report smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths 

corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The 

parameters An and Bn for the ranges 190–290 nm and 210–300 K are as follows: 

A0 = –127.157358 B0 = –7.959828 × 10–2

A1 = 1.635435 B1 = 1.978026 × 10–3

A2 = –9.002683 × 10–3 B2 = –1.627866 × 10–5

A3 = 2.190678 × 10–5 B3 = 5.480744 × 10–8

A4 = 2.062651 × 10–8 B4 = –6.480935 × 10–11

G21. CF2BrCF2Br (Halon-2402) + hν → Products. The absorption cross sections of CF2BrCF2Br have been 

measured at room temperature and 195–320 nm by Molina et al. [272] and at 190–300 nm by Orkin and 

Kasimovskaya [302]; at 210–295 K and 170–280 nm by Gillotay et al. [138], and at 210–296 K and 190–320 

nm by Burkholder et al. [57]. The room temperature data are in very good agreement, in the absorption band at 

180–240 nm generally within 10%, in the absorption maximum at ~200 nm within 5%, and in the longwavelength tail up to 310 nm within 15 %. The preferred absorption cross sections at 295–298 K, listed in 

Table 4-83, are the values of Gillotay et al. [138] at 170–186 nm; the mean of the values reported by Molina et 

al. [40], Gillotay et al. [138], Burkholder et al. [57], and Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302] at 196–280 nm; the 

mean of the values reported by Molina et al. [272], Burkholder et al. [57], and Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302] 

at 282–300 nm; and the mean of the values reported by Molina et al. [272] and Burkholder et al. [57] at 302–

320 nm. In the region around 190 nm, there is some uncertainty, because there is no continuous transition 

between the absorption curve of Gillotay et al. [138] and that obtained by averaging the data of Gillotay et al. 

[138], Burkholder et al. [57], and Orkin and Kasimovskaya [302]. We therefore smoothed the absorption curve 

between 186 and 196 nm and give estimated values for 188, 190, 192, and 194 nm. 

The results of the two temperature studies are rather controversial. A regular, but weak decrease of the 

absorption cross sections at 194–280 nm with decreasing temperature 295 to 210 K and the reverse effect 

below 194 nm was observed by Gillotay et al. [138]; the decrease in the absorption maximum at ~200 nm is 

~0.010 × 10–18 cm2

 molecule–1 per 20-K temperature decrease, i.e., a decrease by ~4% between 295 and 210 K. 

Burkholder et al. [57] observed a strong increase over the whole absorption band (increase of the absorption 

maximum by 20%) with decreasing temperature 296–210 K, and the reverse effect above 230 nm. So, lowtemperature data of these two groups are not comparable Different parameterizations of the temperature 

dependence of the absorption cross section have been proposed. Gillotay and Simon [350] give the polynomial 

expansion 

log10 σ(λ, T) = ∑An λn

 + (T – 273) × ∑Bnλn

and report smoothed values for T = 210, 230, 250, 270, and 295 K, every 2 nm, and at wavelengths 

corresponding to the wavenumber intervals generally used in stratospheric photodissociation calculations. The 

parameters An and Bn for the ranges 190–290 nm and 210–300 K are as follows: 

A0 = 34.026000 B0 = 4.010664 × 10–1

A1 = –1.152616 B1 = –8.358968 × 10–3

A2 = 8.959798 × 10–3 B2 = 6.415741 × 10–5

A3 = –2.9089 × 10–5 B3 = –2.157554 × 10–7

A4 = 3.307212 × 10–8 B4 = 2.691871 × 10–10

Burkholder et al. [57] give the expansion 

log10 σ(λ, T) = (∑Ai (λ – 242.4015)i

 ) (1 + (296–T) ∑Bi (λ – 242.4015)i) 

and report the following parameters Ai and Bi for the ranges 190–320 nm and 210–296 K: 

A0 = –43.69218 B0 = 3.301341 × 10–5

A1 = –1.124704 × 10–1 B1 = 4.695917 × 10–6

A2 = –1.213301 × 10–3 B2 = 6.128629 × 10–8

A3 = 5.275007 × 10–6 B3 = –5.443107 × 10–10

A4 = 6.936195 × 10–8 B4 = –1.035596 × 10–11

 Quantum yields for Br atom formation in the photodissociation of CF2BrCF2Br at 193, 233, and 266 nm, 

Φ(Br) = 1.9 ± 0.1, 1.9 ± 0.1, and 1.4 ± 0.1, respectively, were measured at room temperature by Zou et al. 

[453]. These values indicate bond breaking of both C–Br bonds in nearly all the CF2BrCF2Br molecules at 193 

and 233 nm and in an appreciable fraction of the parent molecules still at 266 nm.

[451], who report a plot on a logarithmic scale for measured values at 200–250 nm, are about 30% larger over 

that wavelength range than the results of Molina et al. [272]. Pence et al. [312] measured the absorption cross 

sections at 180–400 nm, report a plot of the absorbance (in arbitrary units) and give for 193 nm an absorption 

cross section smaller by ~ 40% than that reported by Molina et al. [272].

 The absorption cross sections of CH3I have been measured at room temperature and 147 nm by Rebbert et al. 

[334], at 200–360 nm by Porret and Goodeve [317], at 200–310 nm by Baughcum and Leone [29], at 180–

400 nm by Pence et al. [312]; at 257.7 nm by Felps et al. [119], at 205–335 nm by Jenkin et al. [182], at 205–

360 nm by Man et al. [230], and at 192–225 nm by Kwok and Phillips [208], who also measured the CH3I 

spectrum in cyclohexane solution. Measurements were also carried out at 223–333 K and 160–330 nm by Fahr 

et al. [116]; at 243–333 K and 235–365 nm by Rattigan et al. [325]; and at 210–298 K and 200–350 nm by 

Roehl et al. [343]. Fahr et al. [116] also measured the absorption cross sections at 330–400 nm for the liquid 

phase and used a wavelength-shift procedure to convert them into gas-phase values. The room temperature data 

for the absorption band at 210–305 nm are in reasonable to good agreement, whereby Rattigan et al. [325] 

report the lowest values and Fahr et al. [116] the highest values over the whole absorption band. The agreement 

generally is better than 15% except for the region around the absorption maximum where the spread is ~30%: 

Rattigan et al. [325] and Fahr et al. [116] report values of 1.07 × 10–18 cm2

 and 1.4 × 10–18 cm2, respectively, for 

the maximum at ~260 nm, and the rest of the data ranges between 1.15 × 10–18 cm2

 and 1.22 × 10–18 cm2. At 

wavelengths 305–330 nm, the agreement is still within 20%. At wavelengths below 210 nm, the few data points 

reported by Jenkin et al. [182] and Roehl et al. [343] and the absorption curve reported by Kwok and Phillips 

[209] obviously fit into the strong and highly structured band system observed by Fahr et al. [116] between 160 

and 205 nm. The preferred room temperature absorption cross sections for the wavelength range above 210 nm, 

listed in Table 4-85, are the mean of the values reported by Jenkin et al. [182], Fahr et al. [116], and Roehl et 

al. [343] at 210–230 nm; the mean of the values reported by Jenkin et al. [182], Fahr et al. [116], Rattigan et al. 

[325], and Roehl et al. [343] at 235–330 nm; the mean of the values reported by Fahr et al. [116], Rattigan et al. 

[325], and Roehl et al. [343] at 335–350 nm; and the values of Rattigan et al. [325] at 355–365 nm. The data of 

Man et al. [230] are given only as a plot in their paper and have therefore not been included in the evaluation. 

The three temperature studies are in qualitative agreement. An increase of the absorption cross sections in the 

absorption band at 210–270 nm with decreasing temperature 333–210 K has been observed. Very small 

temperature effects are reported by Rattigan et al. [325] for the temperature range 243–333 K, and by Fahr et 

al. [116] and Roehl et al. [343] for the range between room temperature and ~240–250 K and at 313–333 K. At 

wavelengths above 270 nm and below 210 nm, the absorption cross sections decrease with decreasing 

temperature. The low temperature absorption spectra observed by the three groups differ in the same manner as 

their room temperature spectra, i.e., Fahr et al. [116] report the highest and Rattigan et al. [325] the lowest 

values for the absorption band. 

A simple analytical expression for the temperature dependence, 

σ(λ, T) = σ(298 K) (1 + a1(T–298) + a2(T–298)2

) 

and the fitting parameters a1(λ) and a2(λ) for λ = 200–350 nm and T = 210– 298 K give Roehl et al. [343]. 

Another simple parameterization, ln σ(λ, T) = ln σ(λ, 298 K) + B(T–298), and parameters B(λ) for 

λ = 235–355 nm and T = 243–333 K report Rattigan et al. [325]. The parameters a1, a2, and B are listed also in 

Table 4-85.

Φ(I*) = 0.81 ± 0.03 and ~ 0.05 at 248 and 308 nm by Pence et al. [312], Φ(I*) = 0.30 at 304 nm by Kang et al. 

[198]; and Φ(I*) = 0.47, 0.77, and 0.92 at 325.8, 329.4, and 333.5 nm by Ogorzalek Loo et al. [298]. The latter 

authors report also quantum yields for CD3I:

Brewer et al. [42] report Φ(I*) = 0.75 ± 0.02 at 248 nm for CD3I.

The absorption cross sections of CH2I2 have been measured at room temperature and 180–400 nm by Pence et 

al. [312], at 220–360 nm by Schmitt and Comes [365], at 200–360 nm by Baughcum and Leone [29], at 265–

341 nm by Koffend and Leone [205]; and at 220–400 nm by Kwok and Phillips [207], who measured the 

spectrum also in methanol and cyclohexane. Measurements at 273 and 298 K and 205–380 nm have also been 

carried out by Roehl et al. [343]; and at 273, 298, and 348 K and 215–385 nm by Mössinger et al. [283]. There 

are absorption maxima at or below 215 nm, and around 250 and 290 nm. The room temperature data of the 

various teams (except those of Kwok and Phillips [207], which are presented only as a plot) are in very good 

agreement, i.e., generally within 5–10% between 230 and 380 nm, were the older data of Schmitt and Comes 

[365] and Koffend and Leone [205] for the prominent absorption band around 290 nm are higher than those of 

Roehl et al. [343] and Mössinger et al. [283]. The values of Kwok and Phillips [207] for the prominent 

absorption band around 290 nm are lower by 15–20% than the rest of the data. The preferred room temperature 

absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-86, are the values of Roehl et al. [343] at 205–215 nm, the mean of 
4-89

the values reported by Roehl et al. [343] and Mössinger et al. [283] at 220–380 nm, which are very close, and 

the value of Mössinger et al. [283] at 385 nm. 

Both temperature studies show, that decreasing the temperature from 298 or 348 K to 273 K causes a slight 

increase of the absorption cross sections between 275 and 300 nm (~2% in the maximum at 290 nm between 

298 and 273 K) and a slight decrease outside this wavelength region. A simple empirical relation for the 

temperature dependence between 273 and 348 K, ln σ(λ, T) = ln σ(λ, 298K) + B(λ)·(T–298), and temperature 

coefficients B(λ) for λ = 205–375 nm at 5-nm intervals are given by Mössinger et al. [283]. The temperature 

coefficients B are also listed in Table 4-86 (an erroneous B value at 305 nm has been corrected by Dr. 

Mössinger via a personal communication).

The absorption cross sections of C2H5I have been measured at room temperature and 147 nm 

(σ = 1.48 × 10–17 cm2

) by Rebbert et al. [334], at 205–360 nm by Porret and Goodeve [318]; at 223–298 K and 

205–365 nm by Roehl et al. [343], at 243–333 K and 235–355 nm by Rattigan et al. [325], and at 323 K and 

220–320 nm by Zhang et al. [451]. The room temperature data are in good agreement, the values of Roehl et 

al.[343] are higher by 5–15% at 235–325 nm and become increasingly higher up to 125% at 355 nm than the 

values of Rattigan et al. [325]. The latter authors found their data to agree within 10–15% with the plotted 

values of Porret and Goodeve [318]. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-87, are the mean 

of the values reported by Roehl et al. [343] and Rattigan et al. [325] in the common wavelength range 235–

355 nm, and the data of Roehl et al. [343] at 215–230 nm. 

The temperature studies of Roehl et al. [343] and Rattigan et al. [325] show, that decreasing the temperature in 

the range 333–223 K causes an increase of the absorption cross section in the absorption band at ~230–270 nm 

and a decrease at longer wavelengths. The differences between the low-temperature data of the two groups are 
4-90

comparable with those between the room temperature data. The data for 323 K, reported by Zhang et al. [451] 

as a plot on a logarithmic scale, are larger by 10–40% around the absorption maximum and up to more than 

200% in the long-wavelength tail than the data for 313 and 333 K reported by Rattigan et al. [325]. A simple 

analytical expression for the temperature dependence, σ(λ, T) = σ(298 K) [1 + a1(T–298) + a2(T–298)2

], and 

the fitting parameters a1(λ) and a2(λ) for λ = 205–365 nm and T = 223–298 K give Roehl et al. [343]. Another 

simple parameterization, ln σ(λ, T) = ln σ(λ, 298 K) + B(T–298), and parameters B(λ) for λ = 235–355 nm and 

T = 243–333 K is reported by Rattigan et al. [325]. The parameters a1, a2, and B are listed also in Table 4-87. 

Quantum yields for I*(2

P1/2) atom formation in the photolysis of C2H5I at a few wavelengths between 222 and 

305 nm have been reported: Φ(I*) = 0.57 ± 0.02, 0.72 (or 0.73) ± 0.02, 060 ± 0.02, and 0.39 ± 0.02 at 222, 266, 

280, and ~305 nm by Uma and Das [410], [411], [412]; Φ(I*) = 0.78 ± 0.07 at 248 nm by Gedanken [130]; 

Φ(I*) = 0.68 ± 0.02 at 248 nm by Brewer et al. [42], Φ(I*) = 0.22 at 304 nm by Kang et al. [198]. Quantum 

yields for I(2

P3/2) atom formation, Φ(I), can be derived from Φ(I) = 1 – Φ(I*). 

At 147 nm, the overall process C2H5I + hν → C2H4 + H + I was observed with a quantum yield of 0.75 by 

Rebbert et al. [334].

The absorption cross sections of 1-C3H7I have been measured at 223–298 K and 205–335 nm, those of 2-C3H7I 

at 223–298 K and 205–380 nm by Roehl et al. [343]. The absorption cross sections of 2-C3H7I in the gas phase 

and in cyclohexane solution have also been measured at room temperature and 235–305 nm by Phillips et al. 

[315]. The gas-phase data reported by Phillips et al. [315] and given as a plot in their paper are larger by 30–

70% over the whole absorption band than the data of Roehl et al. [343]. Room temperature values at 147 nm 

for 1-C3H7I and 2-C3H7I have been reported by Rebbert et al. [334]. ].The recommended room temperature 

values for 1-C3H7I and 2-C3H7I, listed in Table 4-89, are taken from the paper of Roehl et al. [343]. 

Decreasing the temperature in the range 298–223 K causes an increase of the absorption cross sections around 

the absorption maximum, at 245–265 nm for 1-C3H7I and at 240–270 nm for 2-C3H7I, and a decrease in the 

long-wavelength tail. Decrease of the absorption cross sections with decreasing temperature generally has been 

observed in the short-wavelength tail of the absorption band except for slight increases between 273 and 248 K 

in the case of 1-C3H7I and between 248 and 223 K in the case of 2-C3H7I. At wavelengths below the minimum 

(~210 nm), the absorption cross sections decrease with decreasing temperature between 298 and 223 K. The 

temperature dependence has been parameterized by the analytical expression 

σ(λ, T) = σ(298 K) [1 + a1(T–298) + a2(T–298)2

] 

and the fitting parameters a1(λ) and a2(λ) for T = 223–298 K and λ = 205–335 nm (1-C3H7I) and λ = 205–

380 nm (2-C3H7I) are reported by Roehl et al. [343]. These are listed also in Table 4-89. 

Quantum yields for I*(2

al. [198] for 1-C3H7I; Φ(I*) = 0.40 ± 0.02, 0.44 ± 0.03, and 0.19 ± 0.02 at 222, 266, and ~305 nm by Uma and 

Das [411], and Φ(I*) = 0.26 ± 0.02 at 248 nm by Brewer et al. [42] for 2-C3H7I. Quantum yields for I(2

P3/2) 

atom formation, Φ(I), can be derived from Φ(I) = 1 – Φ(I*).

At 147 nm, Rebbert et al. [334] observed the main overall processes 1-C3H7I + hν → C3H6 + H + I and 

1-C3H7I + hν → CH3 + C2H4 + I with quantum yields 0.38 and 0.47 and the processes 

2-C3H7I + hν → C3H6 + H + I and 2-C3H7I + hν → CH3 + C2H4 + I with quantum yields 0.80 and 0.07.

The absorption cross sections of CF3I have been measured at room temperature and 170–230 nm by Roxlo and 

Mandl [350]; at room temperature and in shock waves at 625 and 1050 K and 220–360 nm by Brouwer and 

Troe [45]; at 200–298 K and 216–370 nm by Solomon et al. [385]; at 218–333 K and 160–350 nm by Fahr et 

al. [115]; and at 243–333 K and 235–390 nm by Rattigan et al. [325]. Measurements in the long-wavelength 

tail of the absorption band up to 455 nm and at temperatures up to ~4000 K were also carried out with hot 

molecules excited by IR laser pulses by Bagratashvili et al. [18] and Abel et al. [2][3]. 

There is good agreement between the room temperature values above 200 nm, i.e., better than 20% around the 

absorption maximum at 265–270 nm and better than 15% below 255 nm and at 280–350 nm. Fahr et al. [115] 

report the highest absorption maximum of 7 × 10–19 cm2

, compared to 6.4 × 10–19, 6.2 × 10–19, and 

5.9 × 10–19 cm2

 reported by Solomon et al. [385], Brouwer and Troe [45], and Rattigan et al. [325], 

respectively. The long-wavelength data of Solomon et al. [385] become increasingly higher by up to ~70% than 

those of Rattigan et al. [325]. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-91, are the data of Fahr 

et al. [115] at 180–215 nm; the mean of the values reported by Brouwer and Troe [45], Solomon et al. [385], 

and Fahr et al. [115] at 220–230 nm; the mean of the values reported by Brouwer and Troe [45], Solomon et al. 

[385], Fahr et al. [115], and Rattigan et al. [325] at 235–310 nm; the mean of the values reported by Solomon et 

al. [385], Fahr et al. [115], and Rattigan et al. [325] at 315–350 nm; and the values of Rattigan et al. [325] at 

355–385 nm.

Fahr et al. [115] observed in the short-wavelength region a band centered at about 171 nm with cross sections 

up to 3.6 × 10–17 cm2

, which shows vibrational structure, and a band with a maximum approaching values of 

10–16 cm2

 at or below 160 nm. The plotted spectrum at 170–230 nm reported by Roxlo and Mandl [350] is not 

in agreement with the results of Fahr et al. [115]. 

The temperature studies of Solomon et al. [385], Fahr et al. [115], and Rattigan et al. [325] agree in the 

observation, that the absorption cross sections increase in the region of the maximum (~240–280 nm) with 

decreasing temperature from 333 K or room temperature down to temperatures of 240–250 K; the ratios 

σ(298 K)/σ(~240 K) and σ(333 K)/σ(~240 K) around the maximum are ~0.9, the ratios σ(333 K)/σ(298 K) are 

~1. Solomon et al. [385] observed a further increase of the cross sections down to 200 K, whereas Fahr at al. 

[115] observed a slight decrease between 253 and 218 K. A decrease of the absorption cross sections above 

280 nm and between 333 and 200 K was observed by the three groups; the ratios σ(298 K)/σ(~240 K) increase 

from ~1.0 to ~1.9 at 280–340 nm, the ratios σ(333 K)/σ(298 K) are around 1.3. Thus, the temperature 

dependences reported by the three groups are compatible at least in the range 240–333 K. 

Solomon et al. [385] and Rattigan et al. [325] fitted their spectra to the expression 

ln σ(λ, T) = ln σ(λ, 298 K) + B(T–298) 

and report the temperature coefficients B(λ) for T = 200–298 K and λ = 216–344 nm (at 2-nm intervals) and 

for T = 243–333 K and λ = 235–390 nm (at 5-nm intervals), respectively. The temperature coefficients B 

reported by Solomon et al. [385] are nearly constantly larger by ~0.8 × 10–3 than those of Rattigan et al. [325] 

at 235–300 nm and become smaller by up to 1.75 × 10–3 between 315 and 345 nm. The B values reported by 

Rattigan et al. [325] for the ranges 235–385 nm and 243–333 K are listed also in Table 4-91. 

Fahr et al. [115] gave fits for the long-wavelength tail using the expressions σ(λ) = σ0(λ) exp (–L/λ) for 

λ > 320 nm and σ(T) = σ0(T) exp(–θ/T) and reported values for the parameters σ0(λ) and L at T = 218, 235, 

253, 273, 295, and 333 K and for σ0(T) and θ at 300, 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 nm. 

In the short-wavelength region at 160–180 nm, a decrease of the absorption cross sections with decreasing 

temperature 333–218 K has been observed by Fahr et al. [115]. 

Since CF3I serves as model system for studying the dynamics of I*(2

P1/2) atom production by UV photolysis, 

there is a great number of studies which measure I*(2

P1/2)/I(2P3/2) branching ratios and I*(2P1/2) quantum yields 

from CF3I photolysis in the wavelength region of the absorption band. The following quantum yields were 

reported for the range between 248 and 308 nm: 

Φ(I*) = 0.89 ± 0.01, 0.87 ± 0.04, and 0.88 at 248 nm by Brewer et al. [42], Gedanken et al. [130], and Felder 

[117], respectively; 

Φ(I*) = 0.89 ± 0.05, 0.79 ± 0.03 and 0.63 ± 0.02 at 266, 280, and ~305 nm by Kavita and Das [199]; 

Φ(I*) = 0.87 at 277 nm by Kim et al. [200]; Φ(I*) = 0.69 at 304 nm by Kang et al. [198]; 

Φ(I*) = 0.21 at 308 nm by Felder [118], and 

Φ(I*) = 0.99 ± 0.01 0.91 ± 0.01 0.89 ± 0.01 0.84 ± 0.01 0.81 ± 0.01 0.69 ± 0.01 

λ (nm)= 275 279 283 290 293 295 

Φ(I*) = 0.68 ± 0.01 0.63 ±0.02 0.61 ± 0.02 0.47 ± 0.01 0.41 ± 0.0 0.37 ± 0.01 

λ (nm)= 296 297 298 300 302 303 

 by Furlan et al. [127]. 

Quantum yields for I(2

P3/2) atom formation, Φ(I), can be derived from Φ(I) = 1 – Φ(I*)

The photodissociation of CF2I2 has been studied at room temperature and wavelengths 248, 308, 337, and 

351 nm by Wannenmacher et al. [429] and Baum et al. [30]. These authors report also plots of the absorption 

spectrum at room temperature and between 190 and 420 nm, which suggest the presence of at least two 

overlapping transitions corresponding to the different dissociation processes. Numerical absorption data 

belonging to Wannenmacher et al. and Baum et al. were obtained via personal communication by Pfister and 

Huber [314]. The absorption cross sections listed in Table 4-92 are normalized to a maximum value 

σ = 2.929 × 10–18 cm2

·molecule–1 at 300 nm, which was derived from five different spectra and has an 

uncertainty of ±16%.

The absorption cross sections of 1-C3F7I have been measured at room temperature and 265–341 nm by Koffend 

and Leone [205] and at 180–400 nm by Pence et al. [312]. The latter authors report a plot of the absorbance (in 

arbitrary units), which shows an absorption band between ~220 and 340 nm with the maximum at ~268 nm, 

and absorption cross sections only for 248, 268, and 308 nm. The data for 268 and 308 nm are in good 

agreement with the corresponding data reported by Koffend and Leone [205]. The recommended absorption 

cross sections of 1-C3F7I, listed in Table 4-94, are the value for 248 nm reported by Pence et al. [312]; the mean 

of the values of Pence et al. [312] and Koffend and Leone [205] at 268 nm; and, for the range 270–340 nm, 
4-97

values obtained by interpolation and extrapolation at 5-nm intervals of the data reported at odd wavelength by 

Koffend and Leone [205].

H32. CH2ICl + hν → CH2Cl + I. The absorption cross sections of CH2ICl have been measured at room temperature 

and 205–330 nm by Schmitt and Comes [366]; at 192–225 nm and 215–400 nm by Kwok and Phillips [208], 

[209], who also measured the CH2ICl spectrum in cyclohexane solution. Measurements have also been carried 

out at 223–298 K and 205–355 nm by Roehl et al. [343] and at 243–333 K and 235–390 nm by Rattigan et al. 

[325]. The room temperature data of Roehl et al. [343] and Rattigan et al. [325] are in good agreement, where 

the values of Rattigan et al. [325] are lower by ≤10% between 240 and 345 nm. The older data of Schmitt and 

Comes [366] and the data of Kwok and Phillips [209] are higher with absorption maxima near 270 nm of 

1.94 × 10–18 and 1.5 × 10–18 cm2

, respectively, compared to 1.35 × 10–18 and 1.21 × 10–18 cm2 reported by the 

other two groups. The data of Kwok and Phillips [208] at 205 and 210 nm are lower by more than 80 % than 

the data of Roehl et al. [343]. The preferred absorption cross sections, listed in Table 4-95, are the data of 

Roehl et al. [343] at 205–230 nm; the mean of the values reported by Roehl et al. [343] and Rattigan et al. 

[325] at 235–355 nm; and the data of Rattigan et al. [325] at 360–390 nm. The data of Schmitt and Comes 

[366] and Kwok and Phillips [208], [209] are given only as a plots in their papers and have therefore not been 

included in the evaluation. 

Both temperature studies show an increase of the absorption cross sections around the absorption maximum 

(~250–285 nm) with decreasing temperature between 333 and 223 K and the reverse effect above 285 nm. The 

absorption maxima at ~250 K reported by the two groups agree within 15%. A simple analytical expression for 
4-98

the temperature dependence, σ(λ, T) = σ(298 K) [1 + a1(T–298) + a2(T–298)2

], and the fitting parameters a1(λ) 

and a2(λ) for λ = 205–355 nm and T = 223– 298 K give Roehl et al. [343]. Another simple parameterization, ln 

σ(λ, T) = ln σ(λ, 298 K) + B(T–298), and parameters B(λ) for λ = 235–390 nm and T = 243–333 K report 

Rattigan et al. [325]. The temperature coefficients a1, a2, and B are given also in Table 4-95.

H33. CH2BrI + hν → CH2I + Br. 

H34. CH2BrI + hν → CH2Br + I. 

The absorption cross sections of CH2BrI have been measured at room temperature and 180–360 nm by Man et 

al. [230]; and at 273, 298, and 348 K and 215–390 nm by Mössinger et al. [283]. The spectrum exhibits two 

absorption bands with maxima near 210 and 267 nm which can be assigned to electronic transitions to 

repulsive states antibonding in C–Br and C–I, respectively. The results of the two studies are not in quantitative 

agreement: Mössinger et al. [283] report room temperature absorption cross sections of 5.7 × 10–18 and 

2.3 × 10–18 cm2

 at 215 and 270 nm, whereas a plot in the paper of Man et al. [230] gives the larger values of 

~1 × 10–17 and 3.5 × 10–18 cm2

, respectively. We recommend the data of Mössinger et al. [283], which are listed 

in Table 4-96. 

The absorption cross sections increase with decreasing temperature around the band maxima and decrease in 

their long-wavelength tails at 220–240 nm and above 290 nm. The temperature dependence was parameterized 

by Mössinger et al. [283] by the empirical relation ln σ(λ, T) = ln σ(λ, 298 K) + B(T–298). The temperature 

coefficients B(λ) are listed also in Table 4-96 (an erroneous B value at 280 nm has been corrected by Dr. 

Mössinger via a personal communication).

H35. CF2BrCF2I + hν → CF2BrCF2 + I. 

H36. CF2BrCF2I + hν → CF2ICF2 + Br. 

The absorption spectrum of CF2BrCF2I has been measured at room temperature and 190– 350 nm by Pence et 

al. [312]. The spectrum, reported as a plot (with arbitrary absorbance units), exhibits an absorption band with 

the maximum near 268 nm corresponding to the C–I bond and part of an absorption band with the maximum at 

or below 193 nm corresponding to the C–Br bond. A cross section σ = 2.36 × 10–18 cm2

 and a quantum yield 

for Br*(2

P1/2) atom formation, Φ(Br*) = 0.07 ± 0.05, at 193 nm have been reported. 

I1. SO2 + hν → Products 

The UV absorption spectrum of SO2 is highly structured, with a very weak absorption in the 340–390 nm 

region, a weak absorption in the 260–340 nm region, and a strong absorption extending from 180 to 235 nm; 

the threshold wavelength for photodissociation is ~220 nm. The atmospheric photochemistry of SO2 has been 

reviewed by Heicklen et al. [157] and by Calvert and Stockwell [66]. Direct photo-oxidation at wavelengths 

longer than ~300 nm by way of the electronically excited states of SO2 appears to be relatively unimportant. 

The absorption cross sections have been measured by McGee and Burris [252] at 295 and 210 K, between 300 

and 324 nm, which is the wavelength region commonly used for atmospheric monitoring of SO2. Manatt and 

Lane [231] have recently compiled and evaluated the earlier cross section measurements between 106 and 403 

nm. 

I2. CS2 + hν → CS + S 

The CS2 absorption spectrum is rather complex.Its photochemistry has been reviewed by Okabe [300]. There 

are two distinct regions in the near UV spectrum: a strong absorption extending from 185 to 230 nm, and a 

weaker one in the 290–380 nm range. The threshold wavelength for photodissociation is ~280 nm. Absorption 

cross section measurements have been reported recently by Xu and Joens [435] between 187 and 230 nm. 

The photo-oxidation of CS2 in the atmosphere has been discussed by Wine et al. [432], who report that 

electronically excited CS2 may react with O2 to yield eventually OCS. 

I3. OCS + hν → CO + S 

The absorption cross sections of OCS have been measured by Breckenridge and Taube [41], who presented 

their 298 K results in graphical form, between 200 and 260 nm; by Rudolph and Inn [351] between 200 and 

~300 nm (see also Turco et al. [406]), at 297 and 195 K; by Leroy et al. [213] at 294 K, between 210 and 

260 nm, using photographic plates; and by Molina et al. [263] between 195 and 260 nm, in the 195 K to 403 K 

temperature range. The results are in good agreement in the regions of overlap, except for λ > 280 nm, where 

the cross section values reported by Rudolph and Inn [351] are significantly larger than those reported by 

Molina et al. [263]. The latter authors concluded that solar photodissociation of OCS in the troposphere occurs 

only to a negligible extent. 
4-100

The recommended cross sections, given in Table 4-97, are taken from Molina et al. [263].(The original 

publication also lists a table with cross section values averaged over 1 nm intervals, between 185 and 300 nm.) 

Rudolph and Inn [351] reported a quantum yield for photodissociation of 0.72, based on measurements of the 

quantum yield for CO production in the 220–254 nm range. Additional measurements would be useful.

I4. SF6 + hν → Products 

The species SF6 does not absorb at wavelengths longer than 130 nm; it is expected to have an atmospheric 

residence time of thousands of years (Ravishankara et al. [329]; Ko et al. [204]). 

J1. NaOH + hν → Na + OH 

The spectrum of NaOH vapor is poorly characterized.Rowland and Makide [346] inferred the absorption cross 

section values and the average solar photodissociation rate from the flame measurements of Daidoji [100].

Additional measurements are required. 
4-101

J2. NaCl + hν → Na + Cl 

There are several studies of the UV absorption spectra of NaCl vapor. For a review of the earlier work, which 

was carried out at high temperatures, see Rowland and Rogers [348]. The recommended cross sections, listed in 

Table 4-98, are taken from the work of Silver et al. [376], who measured spectra of gas phase NaCl at room 

temperature in the range from ~190 to 360 nm by directly monitoring the product Na atoms.

5.1 Introduction 

We have evaluated and tabulated the currently available information on heterogeneous stratospheric 

processes. In addition, because of the increasing level of interest in tropospheric processes with a direct bearing on 

the fluxes of reactive species into the stratosphere, such as heterogeneous loss processes for partially oxidized 

degradation products of hydrohalocarbons and heterogeneous contrail and cloud processing of exhaust species from 

aircraft, we have included kinetic data for selected heterogeneous interactions relevant to modeling cloud droplet 

and aqueous aerosol chemistry in the free troposphere. However, both stratospheric and tropospheric heterogeneous 

chemistry are relatively new and rapidly developing fields, and further results can be expected to change our 

quantitative and even our qualitative understanding on a regular basis. The complexity is compounded by the 

difficulty of characterizing the chemical and physical properties of atmospheric heterogeneous surfaces and then 

reproducing suitable simulations in the laboratory [227]. New and/or updated evaluations in this document have 

focused on uptake measurements on binary liquid sulfuric acid/water, supplemented in a few cases by data on 

ternary liquid sulfuric acid/water solutions, on water ice, and on “soot” (see definitions below). No updates on solid 

acid/ice compositions are presented in this document, although evaluations for key nitrogen oxide sequestration 

and/or halogen activation reactions on nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) surfaces were recently re-evaluated and 

presented in JPL 00-3 [306]. Uptake data on alumina, salt and aqueous salt solutions have not been updated since 

JPL 97-4 [102]. Henry’s law solubility data for reactive upper tropospheric/stratospheric species in binary liquid 

sulfuric acid/water and, where available, in ternary liquid sulfuric acid/nitric acid/water solutions have also been 

updated and a much more extensive compilation of Henry’s law parameters for pure water has been added.

5.2 Surface Types—Acid/Water, Liquids, and Solids 

To a first approximation there are three major types of surfaces believed to be present at significant 

levels in the stratosphere. They are: (1) Type I polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), nominally composed of nitric acid 

trihydrate (HNO3 • 3H2O); (2) crystals of relatively pure water ice, designated as Type II PSCs because they form at 

lower temperatures than Type I and are believed to be nucleated by Type I (similar surfaces may form as contrails 

behind high-altitude aircraft under some stratospheric conditions); and (3) sulfuric acid aerosol, which is nominally 

a liquid phase surface generally composed of 60–80 weight percent H2SO4 and, concomitantly, 40–20 weight 

percent H2O. While PSCs, as their name suggests, are formed primarily in the cold winter stratosphere at high 

latitudes, sulfuric acid aerosol is present year round at all latitudes and may influence stratospheric chemistry on a 

global basis, particularly after large injections of volcanic sulfur episodically increase their abundance and surface 

area. There is also increasing evidence that ternary H2SO4/HNO3/H2O liquid solutions may play a significant role in 

PSC formation. 

In addition to the major stratospheric surface types noted above, several other types of heterogeneous 

surfaces are found in the stratosphere and may play a significant role in some stratospheric processes. For instance, 

laboratory work has indicated that nitric acid dihydrate (NAD) may play an important role in the nucleation of Type 

I PSCs (Worsnop et al. [358], Fox et al. [126]) and that mixtures of solid nitric acid hydrates and sulfuric acid 

tetrahydrate (SAT) (Molina et al. [261], Zhang et al. [370]) and/or a more complex sulfuric acid/nitric acid hydrate 

(Fox et al. [126]) may also be key to understanding Type I PSC nucleation and evolution. Analyses of the range of 

atmospheric conditions possible in the polar stratosphere have also led to interest in solid SAT surfaces and possibly 

other forms of frozen sulfuric acid aerosols (Toon et al. [334], Middlebrook et al. [256]), as well as liquid sulfuric 

acid aerosols significantly more dilute than the 60–80 weight percent normally present at lower latitudes (Wolff and 

Mulvaney [356], Hofmann and Oltmans [177], Toon et al. [334]). Some modeling studies also suggest that certain 

types of major volcanic eruptions transport significant levels of sodium chloride into the stratosphere (Michelangeli 

et al. [255]), so studies of stratospheric trace species interacting with solid NaCl or similar salts, as well as salt 

solutions, have also been included. 

In the free troposphere the heterogeneous surfaces of interest include liquid or solid water (cloud 

droplets, contrails), and aqueous sulfate solutions. Uptake data are compiled for liquid water for several reasons. 

First this surface is one asymptote of the aqueous acid aerosol continuum; second, the interactions of some trace 

species with liquid water and water ice (Type II PSC) surfaces are often similar, and third, the uptake of some trace 

species by liquid water surfaces in the troposphere can play a key role in understanding their tropospheric chemical 

lifetimes and thus, the fraction that may be transported into the stratosphere. 

5.3 Surface Types—Soot and Alumina 

Aircraft at cruise altitudes and rocket exhausts contribute small but measurable amounts of carbonaceous 

“soot” (Pueschel et al. [280]) and aluminized solid propellant rocket exhausts and spacecraft debris produce 

increasing levels of alumina (Al2O3) and similar metal oxide particles (Zolensky et al. [373]) in the stratosphere and 

upper troposphere. Soot lofted above from surface combustion sources may also be present in the upper 

troposphere, and to a lesser extent in the lower stratosphere. Alumina from rocket exhausts is generally emitted as 

liquid droplets from the rocket nozzle and deposited in the alpha or metastable gamma phases as it quickly solidifies 

in the exhaust plume. “Soot” refers to a material that is a combination of elemental and organic carbon, with 

proportions varying depending on the source material and the combustion conditions. In studies of soot directed to 

understanding the interaction with atmospheric gases, two types of soot have been used: carbon blacks having 

relatively small hydrogen and oxygen contents (e.g. Degussa FW2, Cabot Monarch 1000, ground charcoal and 

spark-generated soot) and organic combustion soots having higher hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen content (e.g. 

soots from the combustion of n-hexane, methane, propane, decane, ethylene, acetylene, toluene, stearic candles). In 

the case of organic combustion soots, even different fuels used to generate the soot have been reported to affect the 

chemistry; for example, the yields of HONO from the reaction of NO2 with acetylene, toluene, ethylene and decane 

soots were observed to vary with the fuel used [14,134]. 

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and oxygenated polycyclic aromatic compounds (O-PAC) are 

major constituents of soots formed from the combustion of liquid fuels [10-12,63,123,139,315]. The bulk 

composition of soot can have varying amounts of C, H, and O. For example, Chughtai et al. [77] report that the 

composition (in weight %) of n-hexane soot varies from 87 to 92 % C, 1.2 to 1.6 % H, and 11 to 6% oxygen. 

Stadler and Rossi [321] showed that the elemental composition of the soot as well as its surface area depended on 

whether the flame was rich or lean; in the case of the rich flame giving a grey-colored soot, the composition (weight 

%) was 97.3% C, 0.83% H, 1.65% O, and 0.20% N while the lean flame gave a black soot comprised of 96.4% C, 

0.19% H, 3.2% O, and 0.27% N. 
5-3

The functional groups on the soot surface are expected to be important in terms of the uptake and 

reaction of gases on the surface. XPS studies of n-hexane soot show surface carbon and oxygen, although the 

specific nature of the bonding could not be determined (Akhter et al. [12]). The surface functional groups on soot 

vary, depending on the fuel composition, method of generation and the post-treatment of the soot. For example, 

Degussa FW2 carbon black, which has been used in a number of studies of uptake and reactions of gases on soots, 

is post-treated with NO2 by the manufacturer and Cabot Monarch 1000 is post-treated with aqueous HNO3. There 

may be sufficient NO and NO2 concentrations generated under some conditions during the formation of soots by 

spark generators that these may also have been reacted with these gases prior to collection and uptake studies. 

Studies of a number of gases interacting with soot surfaces suggest there are at least two and likely more, types of 

reactive surface sites; one type reacts very rapidly, e.g. with O3, while others react more slowly. The first type may 

be most relevant to the reactions of soot particles in exhaust plumes from combustion sources, while the latter is 

most relevant to soot diluted in air. 

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) , Raman and electron paramagentic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic 

studies of n-hexane soot show C–O functionalities assigned to anhydrides and aryl ethers, alkyl ketones, as well as 

=C–H, highly substituted aromatics and conjugated carbonyl-aromatic groups [10,315]. Kirchner et al. [220] 

measured the FTIR spectra of soots from the combustion of diesel fuel and n-hexane (described as “flame 

deposited”) and soots collected from a commercial spark generator in Ar, from the emissions of a diesel automobile 

and Degussa FW2 soot (described as “filter deposited”). In all cases, absorption peaks due to –C–C–, –C=C–, –C–

O, aromatic –C=O, and carboxylic –C=O groups (both aromatic and aliphatic) were observed. However, the flamedeposited soot showed bands due to substituted aromatics while the filter-collected samples did not. The filterdeposited samples had bands due to aliphatic –C–H groups that were not observed for the flame-deposited soots. 

Only the spark-generated soot showed bands due to both –C=C–H and to –O–H. 

For soot formed from the combustion of liquid fuels, the location in the flame at which the soot is 

collected also changes the surface enough to alter its reactions. For example, Akhter et al. [10] showed that the 

functional groups as well as particle size depend on the height of collection of soot from the base of the flame. Such 

changes appear to also alter the reactions of soot; for example, Gerecke et al. [134] measured HONO and NO yields 

from the reaction of NO2 with ethylene soot and found that the HONO yield decreased with distance from the 

bottom of the flame that the soot was collected from, while the yield of NO increased. Kirchner et al. [220] reported 

much stronger infrared absorption bands due to substituted aromatics in soot samples collected from the combustion 

of n-hexane near the bottom of the flame compared to the top; in addition, absorption bands due to the –O–H group 

were only observed in samples collected at the bottom of the flame. 

Not only can the surface groups directly affect its interaction with gases, but they determine the 

hygroscopic properties of the soot surface. Chughtai et al. [84,87] have shown that the hydration of soot surfaces 

depends on the fuel composition (particularly sulfur and trace metal content) and combustion conditions, as well as 

the extent of surface oxidation. A highly hygroscopic surface holding significant amounts of water may behave 

differently than a “dry” surface with respect to the interaction with gases; for example, black carbon suspended in 

aqueous solutions with ozone and irradiated to generate OH has been shown to help assist in the initiation of bulk 

solution phase OH chemistry [195]. There are also free radical sites on soot surfaces whose EPR signals are strongly 

affected by the adsorption of paramagnetic species such as NO2 (e.g. see Chughtai et al. [77]). These unpaired 

electrons in soot may contribute to the surface reactivity. 

The International Steering Committee for Black Carbon Reference Materials 

(http://www.du.edu/~dwismith/bcsteer.html) has issued preliminary recommendations for representative black 

carbon reference materials. They recommend that soot formed from the combustion of saturated hydrocarbons, 

preferably n-hexane, be used for soot black carbon. For aerosol black carbon, they recommend the use of Urban 

Dust Reference Material (SRM) 1649a, which is a sample collected in Washington, D.C. in a baghouse in 1976–

1977. However, for studies of the uptake and reactions of gases in the atmosphere with combustion-generated soots, 

organic combustion generated soots, particularly n-hexane soot, appear to be the most reasonable surrogate. 

5.4 Surface Composition and Morphology 

The detailed composition and morphology of each surface type are uncertain and probably subject to a 

significant range of natural variability. Certain chemical and physical properties of these surfaces, such as their 

ability to absorb and/or solvate HCl and HNO3, are known to be strongly dependent on their detailed chemical 

composition. Moreover, most heterogeneous processes studied under laboratory conditions (and in some cases 

proceeding under stratospheric conditions) can change the chemical composition of the surface in ways that 

significantly affect the kinetic or thermodynamic processes of interest. Thus, a careful analysis of the timedependent nature of the active surface is required in the evaluation of measured uptake kinetics experiments. 
5-4

Experimental techniques which allow the measurement of mass accommodation or surface reaction kinetics with 

high time resolution and/or with low trace gas fluxes are often more credible in establishing that measured kinetic 

parameters are not seriously compromised by surface saturation or changing surface chemical composition. 

The measured kinetic uptake parameters, mass accommodation coefficients, and surface reaction 

probabilities are separately documented for relevant atmospheric trace gas species for the major and, where 

available, the minor stratospheric and upper tropospheric surfaces noted above. Since these parameters can vary 

significantly with surface composition (e.g., the H2SO4/H2O ratio for sulfate aerosol or the HNO3/H2O ratio for 

Type I PSC) the dependence of these parameters on surface composition is reviewed where sufficient data are 

available. Due to its chemical and morphological complexity, uptake values for soot are documented in a separate 

table. 

5.5 Surface Porosity 

The experimental techniques utilized to measure mass accommodation, heterogeneous reaction, and 

other uptake coefficients generally require knowledge of the surface area under study. For solid surfaces, and most 

particularly for water and acid ice surfaces formed in situ, the determination of how the molecular scale ice surface 

differs from the geometrical surface of the supporting substrate is not easy. Keyser, Leu, and coworkers have 

investigated the structure of water and nitric acid ice films prepared under conditions similar to those used in their 

flow reactor for uptake studies [215,216,218]. They have demonstrated that ice films grown in situ from the vapor 

can have a considerably larger available surface than that represented by the geometry of the substrate; they have 

also developed a simple model to attempt to correct measured uptake rates for this effect [217,218]. This model 

predicts that correction factors are largest for small uptake coefficients and thick films. The application of the model 

to experimental uptake data remains controversial (Keyser et al. [217], Hanson and Ravishakara [162], Kolb et al. 

[227]). Some experimenters prefer to attempt growing ice surfaces as smooth as possible and to demonstrate that 

their measured uptake coefficients are only weakly dependent on surface thickness (Hanson and Ravishankara 

[160]). Similar issues arise for uptake experiments performed on powered, fused and single crystal salt or oxide 

surfaces (Fenter et al. [120]; Hanning-Lee et al. [147]).The issue of surface area available for uptake is also 

important for interpreting uptake measurements on soot and soot surrogate surfaces. The degree to which measured 

uptake parameters must be corrected for porosity effects will remain in some doubt until a method is devised for 

accurately determining the effective surface area for the surfaces actually used in uptake studies. Most studies 

evaluated in this review assume that the effective ice or salt surface area is the geometrical area. 

5.6 Temperature Dependences of Parameters 

A number of laboratory studies have shown that mass accommodation coefficients and, to some extent, 

surface reaction probabilities can be temperature dependent. While these dependencies have not been characterized 

for many systems of interest, temperature effects on kinetic data are noted where available. More work that fully 

separates heterogeneous kinetic temperature effects from temperature controlled surface composition is obviously 

needed. 

5.7 Solubility Limitations 

The uptake of certain trace gases by atmospherically relevant surfaces is usually governed by solubility 

limitations rather than kinetic processes. In these cases properly analyzed data can yield measurements of trace gas 

solubility parameters relevant to stratospheric conditions. In general, such parameters can be strongly dependent on 

both condensed phase composition and temperature. Such parameters may be very important in stratospheric 

models, since they can govern the availability of a reactant for a bimolecular heterogeneous process (e.g., the 

concentration of HCl available for the HCl + ClONO2 reaction on sulfuric acid aerosols) or the gas/condensed phase 

partitioning of a heterogeneous reaction product (e.g., the HNO3 formed by the reaction of N2O5 on sulfuric acid 

aerosols). Surface saturation limitations have also been observed in experimental uptake studies on solid surfaces, 

including water and water/acid ice surfaces. 

5.8 Data Organization 

Data for trace-gas heterogeneous interactions with relevant condensed-phase surfaces are tabulated in 

Tables 5-1 through 5-5. These are organized into 

Table 5-1—Mass Accommodation Coefficients for Surfaces Other Than Soot. 

Table 5-2—Surface Reaction Probabilities for Surfaces Other Than Soot. 
5-5

Table 5-3—Soot-Surface Uptake Coefficients. 

Table 5-4—Solubility Data for Pure Water. 

Table 5-5—Solubility Data for Acids. 

This compilation provides updated evaluations based on published literature available through 2001 for 

water ice, liquid sulfuric acid/nitric acid/water, and soot/soot surrogate surfaces. The evaluations for alumina, solid 

alkali salt, aqueous alkali salt, and liquid water (with the exception of Henry’s law constants for liquid water) have 

not been re-evaluated since JPL Publication 97-4 [102]. Evaluations and recommendations for the latter surfaces 

should be used with caution since new studies have been published in some cases that would alter the recommended 

values or extend their range of applicability. 

5.9 Parameter Definitions 

Mass accommodation coefficients (α), represent the probability of reversible uptake of a gaseous species 

colliding with the condensed surface of interest. For liquid surfaces this process is associated with interfacial (gasto-liquid) transport and is generally followed by bulk liquid phase solvation. Examples include: simple surface 

absorption, absorption followed by ionic dissociation and solvation (e.g., HCl + nH2O ↔ H+

(aq) + Cl– (aq)), and 

absorption followed by a reversible chemical reaction with a condensed phase substituent (e.g., SO2 + H2O ↔

H+

 + HSO3

– or CH2O + H2O ↔ CH2(OH)2). 

The term “sticking coefficient” is often used for mass accommodation on solid surfaces where 

physisorption or chemisorption takes the place of true interfacial mass transport. 

Processes involving liquid surfaces are subject to Henry’s law, which limits the fractional uptake of a 

gas phase species into a liquid. If the gas phase species is simply solvated, a physical Henry’s law constraint holds; 

if the gas phase species reacts with a condensed phase substituent, as in the sulfur dioxide or formaldehyde 

hydrolysis cases noted above, a “chemically modified” or “effective” Henry’s law constraint holds (Clegg and 

Brimblecombe [88], Schwartz [308], Watson et al. [348]). Henry's law constants relate the equilibrium 

concentration of a species in the gas phase to the concentration of the same species in a liquid phase, and they have, 

in this report, units of 

M atm–1. These are tabulated for liquid surfaces in Table 5-4 and Table 5-5. Effective Henry’s law constants are 

designated H*, while simple physical Henry’s law constants are represented by H. Effective Henry’s law constants 

are also employed to represent decreased trace gas solubilities in moderate ionic strength acid or salt solutions with 

the use of a Setchenow coefficient formulation which relates H* to the concentration of the acid or salt [185]. 

Available Henry’s law constants for reactive upper tropospheric/stratospheric species in binary sulfuric acid/water 

solutions, and for a few cases of ternary sulfuric acid/nitric acid/water solutions, are tabulated as a function of acid 

weight percent and temperature. Temperature dependent Henry’s law expressions for a larger set of gaseous species 

in pure water are presented in Table 5-4. It is presently unclear whether “surface solubility” effects govern the 

uptake on nominally solid water ice or HNO3/H2O ice surfaces in a manner analogous to bulk solubility effects for 

liquid substrates and no solubility parameters for these “ice” systems are presented. 

For some trace species on some surfaces, experimental data suggest that mass accommodation 

coefficients untainted by experimental saturation limitations have been obtained. These are tabulated in Table 5-1. 

In other cases experimental data can be shown to be subject to Henry’s law constraints, and Henry’s law constants, 

or at least their upper limits, can be determined. Some experimental data sets are insufficient to determine if 

measured “uptake” coefficients are true mass accommodation coefficients or if the measurement values are lower 

limits compromised by saturation effects. These are currently tabulated, with suitable caveats, in Table 5-1. 

Surface reaction probabilities (γ) are kinetic values for generally irreversible reactive uptake of trace gas 

species on condensed surfaces. The rates of such processes may not be limited by Henry’s law constraints; however, 

the fate of the uptake reaction products may be subject to saturation limitations. For example, N2O5 has been shown 

to react with sulfuric acid aerosol surfaces. However, if the H2SO4/H2O ratio is too high, the product HNO3 will be 

insoluble, and a large fraction will be expelled back into the gas phase. Surface reaction probabilities for 

substantially irreversible processes are presented in Table 5-2. Reaction products are identified where known. . 

The total experimental uptake coefficient measured in laboratory heterogeneous kinetic experiments are 

also often represented by the symbol γ. In those cases where surface and/or bulk reaction dominate the uptake, the 

total uptake coefficient (γtotal) and reactive uptake coefficient (γrxn) may well be identical. More formally, for cases 

where bulk liquid phase reaction is facile and there are no gas phase diffusion constraints, the total uptake 

coefficient for aerosol or cloud droplets can be approximated in terms of γrxn and γsol as [227]:

Discussion of how to use this approach to model chemical reactions in liquid stratospheric aerosols can 

be found in Hanson et al. [168] and Kolb et al. [227]. Note that these formulations are approximate. In cases where 

separate terms are competitive, more rigorous solution of the kinetic differential equations may be appropriate. 

For solid surfaces, bulk diffusion is generally too slow to allow bulk solubility or bulk kinetic processes 

to dominate uptake. For solids, reactive uptake is driven by chemisorption/chemical reaction at the interface, a 

process that can also influence trace gas uptake on liquids. For liquids, surface reaction (γsurf) occurs in parallel, 

rather than in series with mass accommodation, thus:

Examples where this more complex situation holds for liquid surfaces can be found in Hu et al. [181] 

and Jayne et al. [200]. In such cases γ may be significantly larger than α. 

Uptake of gases on soot may occur due to three different processes: (1) physisorption (e.g. SO2 or HNO3

at room temperature and low nitric acid pressures); (2) reaction with the surface (e.g. NO2), and (3) catalytic 

decomposition/reactions of the gas on the surface. All three processes may occur in parallel, and the relative 

contributions of each of these three may vary during the course of the reaction as the surface “ages.” As discussed 

above, there are different types of reactive sites on soot, leading in some cases to a rapid initial uptake followed by a 

slower uptake; these are often characterized as reactions on “fresh” and “aged” surfaces respectively. Another 

complexity is that in some cases the geometric surface areas were used to calculate the uptake coefficients from the 

experimental data while in others, the available reactive surface area was estimated and used. 

Because of these complexities with soot heterogeneous chemistry, uptake coefficients for soot 

interactions with gases have been broken out into a separate Table 5-3 rather than being included with the other 

surfacesin Table 5-1 and Table 5-2. When the uncertainty is more than an order of magnitude, a recommendation is 

not given in Table 5-3 and the range of reported values is given in the Notes. In most cases, the available reactive 

surface area rather than the geometric areas have been used in obtaining the uptake coefficients; in those cases 

where the geometric area was used but a higher available surface area was involved in the measured uptake, the 

uptake coefficient is given as an upper limit. Data are most commonly available for room temperature or there are 

very limited data at lower temperatures characteristic of the upper troposphere. 

The data in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2 for uptake on non-soot surfaces are organized by trace gas species, 

since some systematic variation may be expected for surface accommodation or reaction as the surface composition 

and/or phase is varied. Data presented for one surface may be judged for “reasonableness” by comparing with data 

for a “similar” surface. In some cases it is not yet clear if surface uptake is truly reversible (accommodation) or 

irreversibly reactive in nature. In such cases the available uptake coefficients are generally tabulated in Table 5-1 as 

accommodation coefficients, a judgment that will be subject to change if more definitive data become available. 
5-7

Where a specific evaluated value for an accommodation coefficient or reaction probability has been 

obtained, an estimated uncertainty factor is also tabulated. However, when the data evaluation yielded only a lower 

or upper limit, no uncertainty factor can be reliably estimated and none is presented. 

Description of and reference citations to many of the laboratory techniques used to obtain the data in the 

following tables can be found in Kolb et al. [227]. 

Reactions of N2O5, ClONO2, HOCl and BrONO2 on/in sulfuric acid are generally dependent on the 

species’ Henry's law solubility and liquid phase diffusion coefficient in the liquid acid as well as the surface and/or 

liquid phase reaction rate parameters. All of these processes are generally functions of the acid composition and 

temperature (Hanson et al. [168], Robinson et al. [293]Shi et al. [313]. Thus, these reactions’ reactive uptake 

coefficients must be represented by a complex phenomenological or empirical models that defy simple entry into 

Table 5-2. The notes in Table 5-2 for these reactions discuss and present the models adopted. 

To aid in visualizing the resulting reactive uptake parameters the results for several reactions have been 

plotted in Figure 5-1 as a function of temperature for a background pressure of 50 mbar and background water 

vapor and HCl mixing ratios of 5 ppmv and 2 ppbv, respectively. These calculations are presented for monodisperse 

background sulfate aerosol particles with a radius of 1×10–5 cm (0.1 μm).

hydrolysis do not provide the information about the reacto-diffusive length (A), the aerosol radius used in the 

calculation is assumed to be much larger than their reacto-diffusive length (i.e. A for N2O5 and BrONO2 are set to 

zero.)

5.11 Notes to Table 5-1 

1. O on H2SO4 • nH2O—Knudsen cell experiment of Baldwin and Golden [27] measured an uptake coefficient 

limit of <10–6; this result probably cannot be equated with an accommodation coefficient due to surface 

saturation. 

2. O3 on H2O(s) and HNO3 • nH2O—Undoped ice surfaces saturate too quickly for reliable measurements. When 

ice is doped with Na2SO3 to chemically remove absorbed O3 the apparent α increases to 1 × 10–2 (0.1M) or up 

to 4 × 10–2 (1M) (Dlugokencky and Ravishankara [105]). Limit of γ < 10–6 for undoped ice is consistent with 
5-10

earlier measurement by Leu [233] of ≤ 1 × 10–4 and with < 6 × 10–5 obtained by Kenner et al. [214].

Dlugokencky and Ravishankara also measured the tabulated value of an uptake coefficient for O3 on a NAT 

“like” surface, but the data were difficult to reproduce and the surfaces were not well characterized. Kenner 

et al. also measured a lower limit for an uptake coefficient of 8 × 10–5 on NAT at 183 K, but this 

measurement is also certainly limited by surface saturation. 

3. O3 on H2O(l)—Utter et al. [335] used a wetted wall flow tube technique with various chemical scavengers to 

measure a lower limit for α of 2 × 10–3. The stopped flow measurement technique using an SO3

= scavenger 

(Tang and Lee [327]) is subject to saturation effects, so their quoted α of 5.3 × 10–4 is also taken as a lower 

limit. 

4. O3 on H2SO4 • nH2O—Flow tube measurements (Dlugokencky and Ravishankara [105]) of an uptake 

coefficient limit of <10–6 on both 50 and 97 wt. % H2SO4 surfaces are consistent with earlier, but probably 

less quantitative, static systems measurements of Olszyna et al. [271] and aerosol chamber measurements of 

Harker and Ho [169], who report uptake coefficients of the order 10–8 or less for a variety of sulfuric acid 

concentrations and temperatures. In these earlier experiments, doping the H2SO4 with Ni2+, Cr2+, Al3+, Fe3+, 

and NH4

+

 (Olszyna et al. [271]) or Al2O3 or Fe2O3 (Harker and Ho [169]) did not significantly increase 

measured O3 loss. An upper limit of 1 × 10–6 was also reported by Baldwin and Golden [26]for 97 wt % 

H2SO4 at 295 K. Il’in et al. [187] performed static tube reactor measurements on 98 wt. % sulfuric acid at 

239, 258, 273 K measuring uptake coefficients between 1.2 and 1.75 × 10–6. Although these measurements 

are slightly larger than the limits in the other studies, uptake values this small are extremely hard to quantify 

and these measurements are not seen to be in serious disagreement with other studies finding slightly lower 

upper limits. All measurements are subject to solubility limitations and probably do not reflect true limits on 

mass accommodation.

5. OH on H2O(s)—Cooper and Abbatt[91] analyzed uptake rates in a wall-coated flow tube to determine an 

initial γ ~ 0.1 over the temperature range of 205 – 230 K. Uptake coefficients decreased at longer exposure 

times, indicating surface saturation. These data indicate that α is at least 0.1 and possibly much larger. This is 

confirmed by an earlier experiment using a coated insert/flow tube technique by Gershenzon et al. [136], 

which yielded α > 0.4 at 253 K. 

6. OH on H2O(l)—see Note for HO2 on H2O(l). The OH and HO2 measurements of Hanson et al. [151] are 

subject to the same analysis issues. 

7. OH on H2SO4•nH2O—See Note for HO2 on H2O(l) for measurement (28 wt.% H2SO4) by Hanson et al. [151] 

and Note for O on H2SO4 for measurement (97 wt. % H2SO4) by Baldwin and Golden [27]. 

8. OH on Al2O3(s)—Measured value is from flow tube experiment with native oxide on aluminum as the active 

surface. An uptake coefficient of 0.4 ± 0.2 independent of temperature over the range of 253–348 K was 

measured (Gershenzon et al. [136]). 

9. HO2 on H2O(l)—Determination of α in liquid-wall flow tube (Hanson et al. [151]) is dependent on gas-phase 

diffusion corrections; measured limit (α >0.02) is consistent with α = 1. In the aqueous salt aerosol 

measurements of Mozurkewich et al. [264], HO2 was chemically scavenged by Cu++ from added CuSO4 to 

avoid Henry’s law constraints; the measured limit of >0.2 is also consistent with α = 1. 

10. HO2 on NaCl(s) and KCl(s)—Based on measured values of γ = 1.8 × 10–2 for KCl and 1.6 × 10–2 for NaCl, 

both at 295 K by Gershenzon et al. [135] supplementing an earlier value of γ – 8 × 10–3 measured by 

Gershenzon and Purmal [137]. Results have not been calibrated with a competitive technique. 

11. H2O on H2O(s)—Measurements are available from Leu [232] giving 0.3 (+0.7, –0.1) at 200 K and Haynes et 

al. [172] (1.06 ± 0.1 to 0.65 ± 0.08) from 20 to 185 K. Brown et al.[59] used molecular beam reflection 

techniques to measure a value of α = 0.99 ± 0.03 between 85 and 150 K and optical interference methods to 

obtain α = 0.97 ± 0.10 between 97 and 145 K. 

12. H2O on HNO3/H2O(l)—Rudolf and Wagner[302] used aerosol expansion chamber techniques to illustrate 

that on liquid water/nitric acid aerosols α is greater than 0.3 and is consistent with 1.0 at 278 K. 

13. H2O on HNO3•nH2O(s)—Middlebrook et al. [257] measured an uptake coefficient of .002 for water vapor 

co-depositing with nitric acid over NAT at 197 K. 

14. H2O on H2SO4 • nH2O—Baldwin and Golden [26] measured γ ~ 2 × 10–3, which is almost certainly affected 

by surface saturation. See Note for H2O2 on H2SO4 • nH2O. 
5-11

15. H2O on NaCl(s)—Fenter et al. [118] used Knudsen cell/mass spectrometry methods to measure γ < 2 × 104 

for H2O(g) uptake on NaCl powders, an observation confirmed by Beichert and Finlayson-Pitts [46], who 

found 

γ < 1 × 10–5. However, Dai et al. [94] used FTIR spectroscopy on NaCl crystallite films at 240 and 296 K to 

determine that a water adlayer does adhere to dry salt and that a small fraction of surface sites (<1%) cause 

H2O dissociation. It is likely that the measurements of Fenter et al. and Beichert and Finlayson-Pitts were 

affected by surface saturation. 

16. H2O on NaCl(aq)—Fung et al.[130] used Mie resonance scattering techniques to quantify aqueous NaCl 

droplet growth (5.8 to 7.8 μm), yielding fitted values of α > 0.5 and consistent with 1.0. 

17. H2O2 on H2O(l)—Measured accommodation coefficient (Worsnop et al. [359]) has a strong negative 

temperature dependence over the measured range of 260–292 K, with α = 0.3 at 260 K decreasing to 0.1 at 

292 K. 

18. H2O2 on H2SO4•nH2O—Knudsen cell uptake measurements are subject to surface saturation, thus uptake 

coefficient value of 7.8 × 10–4 quoted by Baldwin and Golden [26] is almost certainly a lower limit for α. 

This effect is probably also responsible for the lack of measured uptake (γ <10–6) for NO, NO2, SO2,Cl2, and 

other species reported in this reference and Baldwin and Golden [27]. 

19. NO on H2O(s)—NO data (Leu [233], Saastad et al. [303]) subject to same concerns as NO2. See Note for 

NO2 on H2O(s). 

20. NO on H2SO4•nH2O—See Notes for H2O2 on H2SO4 • nH2SO4 and NO2 on H2SO4 • nH2O. NO is subject to 

the same concerns as NO2 for both reported measurements (Saastad et al. [303]; Baldwin and Golden [26]). 

21. NO2 on H2O(s)—In the absence of a chemical sink, Leu [233] measured no sustained uptake of NO2 on ice 

yielding an apparent α ≤1 × 10–4. Saastad et al. [303] measured a lower limit of 5 × 10–5 for temperatures 

between 193 and 243 K. However these values are probably influenced by surface saturation. 

22. HONO on H2O(s)—Fenter and Rossi [120] measured reversible uptake on water ice between 180 and 200 K 

using a Knudsen cell technique. An initial uptake coefficient of 1 × 10– 3 suggests that α equals or exceeds 

this value. Chu et al. [73] used a cylindrical flow reactor to measure the uptake coefficient as a function of 

temperature, obtaining values ranging from 3.7 × 10–3 at 178 K to 6.4 × 10–4 at 200 K, in good agreement 

with the results of Fenter and Rossi. On the other hand, Chu et al. report significantly lower values after 

correction for the effects of surface porosity, i.e. 1.4 × 10–4 at 178 K and 1.3 × 10–5 at 200 K (see Keyser et 

al. [218]). 

23. HNO3 on H2O(s)—Leu [232] reports 0.3 (+0.7, –0.1). Some additional uncertainty is introduced by effective 

ice surface area in fast-flow measurement (see Keyser et al. [218]). Hanson [148] measured an uptake 

coefficient of > 0.3 at 191.5 and 200 K. Aguzzi and Rossi [9] measured an uptake coefficient of 0.3 over the 

temperature range from 180 to 190 K, the value decreasing at T < 195 K with an exponential temperature 

dependence of –(3400 ± 500)/T. They attributed this change to an increasing evaporation rate, concluding 

that the accommodation coefficient most likely remains large. Abbatt [4] measured equilibrium uptake values 

at 208–248 K on the order of 1 to 3 × 1014 molecule cm–2. Zondlo et al. [374] report the formation of a 

supercooled H2O/HNO3 liquid layer at 185 K, forming NAT or NAD only after decreasing the relative 

humidity below the ice frost point. 

24. HNO3 on H2O(l)—Measured α has a strong negative temperature dependence varying from 0.19 ± 0.02 at 

268 K to 0.07 ± 0.02 at 293 K (Van Doren et al. [338]). Ponche et al. [276] measured an accommodation 

coefficient of 0.05 ± 0.01 at 297 K. 

25. HNO3 on HNO3 • nH2O(s)—Hanson [148] measured uptake coefficients of >0.3 and >0.2 on NAT surfaces at 

191 K and 200 K, respectively. Middlebrook et al. [257] measured an uptake coefficient of 0.7 on NAT at 

197 K under conditions where both nitric acid and water vapor were co-depositing. 

26. HNO3 on HNO3 • nH2O(l)—Rudolf and Wagner [302] used aerosol expansion chamber techniques to deduce 

that α for HNO3 on 278 K H2O/HNO3 droplets is > 0.3 and probably close to 1. The consistency of this value 

with smaller (~0.2) values measured for uptake on pure water by Van Doren et al. [338] is unclear, since the 

mechanism of co-condensation is unknown and the composition of the surface in the aerosol expansion 

chamber experiments may be kinetically controlled and has not been well determined. 
5-12

27. HNO3 on H2SO4•nH2O and H2SO4 • 4H2O(s)—Initial uptake at 73 wt. % H2SO4 allows a measurement of 

α = 0.11 ± 0.01 at 283 K (Van Doren et al. [338]). This value is expected to increase at lower temperatures, 

in a manner similar to H2O(1) uptake (Van Doren et al. [337]). Total HNO3 uptake is subject to Henry’s law 

solubility constraints, even at stratospheric temperatures (Reihs et al. [283]). Solubility limitations also 

affected the earlier “sticking coefficient” measurements of Tolbert et al. [332] for 75 wt % H2SO4 at 230 K. 

Hanson [148] measured an uptake coefficient of >0.3 for frozen 57.7 wt. % sulfuric acid at 191.5 and 200 K. 

Baldwin and Golden [26] reported a lower limit of 2.4 × 10–4 on 97 wt. % H2SO4 at 295 K, also reflecting 

solubility limits. Iraci et al. [191] monitored nitric acid trihydrate growth on sulfuric acid tetrahydrate with 

infrared techniques, measuring HNO3 uptake coefficient limits of >0.03 at 192.5 K and >0.08 at 192 K. 

These measurements involved co-deposition of water vapor. 

28. HO2NO2 on H2O(s)—Li et al. [237] measured an uptake coefficient of 0.15 ±0.10; uptake may be limited by 

surface saturation. 

29. HO2NO2 on H2SO4•nH2O(l)—Baldwin and Golden [26] measured γ = 2.7 × 10–5, which is probably solubility 

limited; see Note for H2O2 on H2SO4 • nH2O. 

30. NH3 on H2O(l)—Ponche et al. [276] used a droplet train technique to obtain α = (9.7 ±0.9) × 10–2 at 290 K, 

and Bongartz et al.[57] used a liquid jet technique to obtain α = 4.0 (+3.0, –0.05) × 10–2. Earlier levitated 

droplet evaporation experiments [328] on NH4Cl obtained a larger evaporation coefficient of α = 0.29 ± 0.03, 

which is discounted because of the indirect nature of the experiment. 

31. CO2 on H2O(l)—Noyes et al.[270] used a dynamic stirring technique to monitor pressure decreases in a 

closed cylinder. They inferred α = (5.5 ± 0.5) × 10– 8 at 293 K. This technique is uncalibrated against more 

widely used procedures and probably suffers from surface saturation effects. Measured α is probably many 

orders of magnitude too small. 

32. CH3OH on H2O(l)—Jayne et al. [197] measured uptake from 260–291 K and derived accommodation 

coefficients fitting α/(1–α) = exp(–∆G‡

obs/RT), where ∆G‡obs = –8.0 kcal/mol + 34.9 cal mol–1 K–1 T(K). 

33. CH3CH2OH on H2O(l)—Jayne et al. [197] measured uptake from 260–291 K and derived accommodation 

coefficients fitting α/(1–α) = exp(–∆G‡

obs/RT), where ∆G‡obs = –11.0 kcal/mol + 46.2 cal mol–1 K–1 T(K). 

Similar, but somewhat larger values were reported for chloro-, bromo-, and iodo-ethanols. 

34. CH3CH2CH2OH and CH3CH(OH)CH3 on H2O(l)—Jayne et al. [197] measured uptake coefficients between 

260 and 291 K and derived accommodation coefficients fitting α/(1–α) = exp (–∆G‡

obs/RT), where ∆G‡obs = 

–9.2 kcal mol–1 + 40.9 cal mol–1 K–1 T(K) for 1-propanol and –9.1 kcal mol–1 + 43.0 cal mol–1 K–1 T(K) for 

2-propanol. Similar data for t-butanol were also reported. 

35. HOCH2CH2OH on H2O(l)—Jayne et al. [197] measured uptake coefficients for ethylene gycol between 

260 and 291 K and derived accommodation coefficients fitting α/(1 – α) = exp(–∆G‡

obs/RT), where 

∆G‡

obs = –5.3 kcal mol–1 + 24.5 cal mol–1 K–1 T(K). 

36. CH2O + H2

O(l), H2SO4 • mHNO3 • nH2O(l)—Jayne et al.[200] report uptake measurements for 0 – 85 wt % 

H2SO4 and 0 – 54 wt% HNO3 over a temperature range of 241–300 K. Measured uptake coefficients vary 

from 0.0027–0.027, increasing with H+

 activity (Jayne et al ([200]; Tolbert et al., [330]), and with increasing 

pH above 7 (Jayne et al., [198]). Reversible uptake is solubility limited through reactions to form H2C(OH)2

and CH3O+

. A model of uptake kinetics (Jayne et al., [200]) is consistent with γ = 0.04 ± 0.01 for all 

compositions. A chemisorbed surface complex dominates uptake at 10 – 20 wt % H2SO4, and CH3O+

formation dominates above 20 wt % (Tolbert et al., [330]; Jayne et al. [200], Iraci and Tolbert [192]). Low 

temperature (197–214 K) uptake studies by Iraci and Tolbert [192] confirm that uptake is solubility limited 

for uptake coefficients in the 10–3 to 10–2 range even at low temperatures. These chemical mechanisms allow 

γ to greatly exceed α for strong acidic and basic solutions. A full uptake model for acid solutions is presented 

in Jayne et al. [200], and for basic solutions in Jayne et al. [198]. XPS surface analysis by Fairbrother and 

Somorjai [114] failed to see CH3O+

 surface species reported by Jayne et al.; however, their sensitivity of 1% 

of surface coverage is too poor to see the predicted amounts of the surface species. 

37. CH3O2 + NaCl(s)—Gershenzon et al. [135] measured the uptake of CH3O2 on crystalline NaCl(s) in a central 

rod flow apparatus. They determined a value of γ = (4 ±1) × 10–3 at 296 K, suggesting that α ≥ 4×10–3. 

38. CH3CHO on H2O(l)—Jayne et al. [198] measured a lower accommodation coefficient limit of > 0.03 at 

267 K. Uptake can be limited by Henry's law and hydrolysis kinetics effects—see reference. 
5-13

39. CH3C(O)CH3 on H2O(l)—Duan et al. [108] measured uptake between 260 and 285 K, deriving α = 0.066 at 

the lower temperature and 0.013 at the higher, with several values measured in between. Measured values fit 

α /(1–α) = exp(–∆G‡

obs/RT), where ∆G‡obs = –12.7 kcal/mol + 53.6 cal mol–1 K–1 T(K). 

40. HC(O)OH on H2O(l)—Jayne et al. [197] measured uptake coefficients for formic acid between 260 and 

291 K and derived accommodation coefficients fitting α/(1 – α) = exp(–∆G‡

obs/RT), where 

∆G‡

obs = –7.9 kcal mol–1 + 34.9 cal mol–1 K–1 T(K). 

41. CH3C(O)OH on H2O(l)—Jayne et al. [197] measured uptake coefficients for acetic acid between 260 and 

291 K and derived an accommodation coefficient fitting α/(1–α) = exp(–∆G‡

obs/RT), where 

∆G‡

obs = –8.1 kcal mol–1 + 34.9 cal mol–1 K–1 T(K). 

42. Cl2 on H2O(s)—Measurement of Leu [232] yielded a limit of <1 × 10–4 for Cl2 and is subject to same concern 

as NO2 (see Note) A similar limit of <5 × 10–5 has been measured by Kenner et al. [214], which is also 

probably limited by surface saturation. 

43. OClO + H2O(s)—Brown et al.[60] and Graham et al.[142] used complementary ultra high-vacuum (UHV) 

and coated-wall flow tube techniques to show sub-monolayer reversible absorption of OClO on water ice at 

100 K (UHV) and 189 and 200 K (flow tube). No kinetic data are available at stratospheric temperatures but 

the mass accommodation coefficient for 100 K ice surfaces is near unity, with values of 0.8 ± 0.2 reported for 

amorphous ice and 0.6 ±0.2 for crystalline ice [142]. 

44. HCl on H2O(s)—Leu [232] (0.4; +0.6, –0.2) and Hanson and Ravishankara, [158] (α ≥ 0.3) are in reasonable 

agreement at stratospheric ice temperatures. More recently, a great deal of experimental effort (Abbatt et al. 

[5], Koehler et al. [225], Chu et al. [75], Graham and Roberts [140], Graham and Roberts[141]; Rieley et 

al.[286]) has gone into understanding the uptake of HCl by ice surfaces. Rieley et al. measured 

α = 0.95 ± 0.05 at 80–120 K. Water ice at stratospheric temperatures can take up a large fraction of a 

monolayer even at HCl partial pressures typical of the stratosphere. Both the thermodynamic and 

spectroscopic properties of this absorbed HCl indicate that it has dissociated to ions, forms ionic hydrates, 

and is highly reactive. These experimental results contrast with initial theoretical calculations that predicted 

undissociated HCl hydrogen bonded to the ice surface and a very small adsorption probability at stratospheric 

temperatures (Kroes and Clary [228]); more recent simulations result in higher adsorption energies and 

theoretical accommodation coefficients of one for 190-K surfaces (Wang and Clary [346]). Recent molecular 

dynamics calculations by Gertner and Hynes[138] also show that ionic absorption is thermodynamically 

favorable by about 5 kcal/mole. At HCl partial pressures significantly above those typical of the stratosphere, 

a liquid surface layer forms on the ice, greatly enhancing the total amount of HCl that the surface can absorb. 

45. HCl on H2O(1)—Recommendation is based on Van Doren et al. [337]. Measured α’s decrease from 

0.18 ± 0.02 at 274 K to 0.064 ± 0.01 at 294 K, demonstrating strong negative temperature dependence. Tang 

and Munkelwitz [328] have measured a larger (0.45 ±0.4) HCl evaporation coefficient for an aqueous NH4Cl 

droplet at 299 K. 

46. HCl on HNO3 • nH2O—There was previously severe disagreement between Hanson and Ravishankara [158] 

(α ≥ 0.3) for NAT (54 wt. % HNO3), and Leu and coworkers (Moore et al. [262], Leu et al. [234]). However, 

subsequent experiments at lower HCl concentrations by Leu and coworkers (Chu et al. [75]) as well as 

Abbatt and Molina [6] are generally consistent with Hanson and Ravishankara. In particular, Abbatt and 

Molina [6] report a large uptake coefficient (α > 0.2). The measurements of Hanson and Ravishankara are 

consistent with α = 1. The experiments at stratospherically representative HCl concentrations show that 

HNO3-rich NAT surfaces adsorb significantly less HCl than H2O-rich surfaces. 

47. HCl on H2SO4•nH2O—Measurements by Watson et al. [348] at 284 K show α = 0.15±0.01 independent of n 

for n ≥ 8. Experimental uptake and, therefore, apparent α falls off for n ≤ 8 ( ≥ 40 wt. % H2SO4). This 

behavior is also observed at stratospheric temperature (218 K) by Hanson and Ravishankara [158]. More 

recent measurements by Robinson et al. [294]extend mass accommodation measurements to lower 

temperatures, yielding significantly higher values. Solubility constraints also controlled earlier low 

temperature uptake measurements of Tolbert et al. [332]. A review of the most recent solubility data is 

presented in Table 5-5. 

48. HCl on H2SO4 • 4H2O(s)—Uptake is a strong function of temperature and water vapor partial pressure 

(relative humidity) (Zhang et al. [370]), both of which affect adsorbed surface water.
5-14

49. Halocarbonyls on H2O(l)—Uptake is limited by Henry's law solubility and hydrolysis rate constants 

(De Bruyn et al. [98,100] and Georg et al. [131,133]. See Table 5-4 and Table 5-5. 

50. HBr on H2O(s) and HNO3 • nH2O—Hanson and Ravishankara [159,163] have reported large uptake 

coefficients for HBr on 200-K ice and NAT. Lower limits of >0.3 and >0.2 for ice are reported in the two 

referenced publications, respectively, and a limit of >0.3 is reported for NAT. No surface saturation was 

observed, leading to the supposition that HBr, like HCl, dissociates to ions on ice surfaces at stratospheric 

temperatures. Abbatt [1] measured an uptake coefficient lower limit of >0.03 on water ice at 228 K consistent 

with Hanson and Ravishankara. Rieley et al. [286] measured an α of 1.0 ± 0.05 for water ice at 80–120 K. 

Flückiger et al. [124] report α values of ~0.2 at 210 K, increasing to ~0.3 at 190 K, while Percival et al. [274] 

measured an α of 0.03 ± 0.005 for water ice at T > 212 K, and α > 0.1 at T< 212 K, attributing the apparent 

increase in the uptake coefficient to an increase in the surface area of the ice. More definitive experiments 

will need to be carried out to resolve the discrepancy. Hudson et al. [183] report α = 0.61 ± 0.06 at 140 K, 

and 

α = 0.24 ± 0.05 at 100 K, for HBr pressures ranging from 3 × 10–8 to 1.4 × 10–7 Torr. Equilibrium HBr 

coverages for ice are reported by Chu and Heron [74] at 188 and 195 K, and by Chu and Chu [71] at 180–

220 K. The latter authors also report the formation of various solid HBr hydrates. 

51. HOBr on H2O(s)—Abbatt [1] measured an uptake coefficient for water ice of 2 × 10–3 at 228 K. Chu and 

Chu [71] report an uptake coefficient corrected for porosity effects in the range 0.11 to 0.007 at 190–218 K, 

with an exponential temperature dependence of (3809 ± 76)/T, and in the range 2 × 10–3 to 6 × 10–4 at 223–

239 K, with an exponential temperature dependence of (4658 ± 456)/T. Chaix et al. [69] measured the uptake 

coefficient as a function of temperature on three different types of water-ice, obtaining values ranging from 

~0.3 at 185 K to ~0.03 at 205 K, with an exponential temperature dependence of (4900 ± 500)/T. The three 

sets of results are in reasonable agreement with each other, and the temperature dependence is attributed 

predominantly to changes in the evaporation rate. 

52. HOBr on H2SO4 • nH2O(l)—Abbatt [1] measured an uptake coefficient of 0.06 ± 0.02 by measuring HOBr 

gas phase loss at 228 K. This result may well be a lower limit due to surface saturation effects. 

53. CHBr3 on H2O(s) and H2SO4•nH2O(l)—Hanson and Ravishankara [163] investigated the uptake of 

bromoform on ice and 58 wt.% sulfuric acid at 220 K. No uptake on ice was observed, with a measured 

uptake coefficient of <6 × 10–5. Reversible uptake by the sulfuric acid surface was observed with an initial 

uptake coefficient of >3 × 10–3; both measurements are probably limited by surface saturation. 

54. HOI on H2SO4•nH2O—Knudsen cell studies by Allanic and Rossi [18] measured uptake at several 

temperatures for 40, 50, and 70 acid wt. %. Time dependent studies show no sign of saturation, so uptake 

coefficients should correspond to mass accommodation coefficients. Some acid concentration data in the 

table have been averaged for similar temperatures and rounded to one significant figure. An uncertainty 

factor of three has been assigned due to the relatively small number of temperature/concentration points 

studied and a lack of confirming studies from other laboratories. The authors note evidence of HOI 

disproportionation to form I2, however, this second order reaction is unlikely to occur under atmospheric 

conditions. 

55. HF on H2O(s) and HNO3 • nH2O(s)—Hanson and Ravishankara [159] attempted to measure the uptake of HF 

by 200 K water ice and NAT surfaces but were unable to observe measurable adsorption. They surmise that, 

unlike HCl and HBr, HF does not dissociate to ions on ice or NAT surfaces at 200 K. Lack of measurable 

uptake is probably due to surface saturation. 

56. CF2O on H2O(s), HNO3 • nH2O and H2SO4 • nH2O—Uptake coefficient measurements by Hanson and 

Ravishankara [156] on stratospheric surfaces are probably subject to surface and/or bulk saturation effects 

and may not represent accommodation coefficient measurements, particularly the lower limits of >3 × 10–6

reported for water and nitric acid ices. 

57. CF3COOH on H2O(l)—Hu et al. [182] measured mass accommodation coefficients for five haloacetic acids, 

including trifluoroacetic acid (TFA); the others were mono-, di-, trichloro-, and chlorodifluoro-acetic acids. 

All displayed negative temperature dependence and values for α of about 0.1 at 273 K. 

58. SO2 on H2O(1)—Measured α of 0.11 ± 0.02 has no significant temperature variation over a temperature 

range of 260–292 K (Worsnop et al. [359]). Ponche et al. [276] measured 0.13 ± 0.01 at 298 K, in agreement 

with the earlier measurement. Shimono and Koda [314] estimated an α of 0.2 at 293.5 K from analysis of 

pH-dependent uptake coefficients in a novel liquid impingement technique that has not been calibrated with 
5-15

other gases. Donaldson et al. [106] have used second harmonic generation spectroscopy to detect a 

chemisorbed SO2 surface species which was predicted from earlier uptake measurements by Jayne et 

al.[196]; this surface complex may play a role in SO2 heterogeneous reactions on aqueous surfaces. 

59. SO2 on H2SO4 • nH2O—See Note for H2O2 on H2SO4 • nH2O. 

60. H2SO4 on H2SO4•nH2O—Poschl et al. [277] measured 0.43< α < 1.0 for 73–98 wt. % H2SO4 at 303 K in a 

wetted wall flow tube. Lower temperatures and acid concentrations would be expected to lead to larger 

values of α. As discussed in Poschl et al. [277] this contradicts an indirect measurement of 0.02 < α < 0.09 at 

42.5 wt. % at 298 K by Van Dingenen and Raes [336] in a photochemical aerosol reactor. The Poschl et al. 

[277] result is consistent with room temperature α values very near that measured for (NH4)2SO4 particles in 

an aerosol flow reactor by Jefferson et al. [201]. 

61. CH3S(O)CH3, CH3S(O2)CH3 and CH3S(O2)OH on H2O(l)—De Bruyn et al. [99] measured uptake over the 

temperature range ~262–281 K and derived accommodation coefficients fitting α / (1 – α) = 

exp(–∆G‡

obs/RT), where ∆G‡obs = 

–0.12 kcal molecule–1 + 23.1 cal molecule–1 K–1 T(K) for dimethylsulfoxide 

–10.7 kcal molecule–1 + 43.0 cal molecule–1 K–1 T(K) for dimethylsulfone 

–3.50 kcal molecule–1 + 16.7 cal molecule–1 K–1 T(K) for methanesulfonic acid.

5.13 Notes to Table 5-2 

1. O3 + Al2O3(s) and NaCl(s). Very low ozone decomposition efficiencies for reaction on coarse (3 μm dia.) and 

fine (0.1 μm dia., partially hydroxylated) γ-alumina and coarse (3 μm dia.) α-alumina were measured in 

flowing and static systems by Hanning-Lee et al.[147] at temperatures ranging between 212 and 473 K. 

Based on measured BET surface areas, γs ranged from 2 × 10–11 to 4 × 10–10 over the 212 to 298 K 

temperature range. γs for γ-alumina at lower temperatures exceeded those for α-alumina. Results are roughly 

consistent with earlier, unpublished flow tube data from L.F. Keyser and from fluidized bed reactor studies of 

Alebić-Juretić et al. [15]. Note that γs based on geometic surface particle surface areas would be significantly 

(104

–107) larger. Alebić-Juretić et al. also studied ozone decomposition on small (<180 μm) NaCl crystals in 

their fluidized bed reactor and observed no effect, indicating γ for O3 decomposition on NaCl(s) is much 

smaller than that for α-alumina. 

2. OH + H2O(s). Cooper and Abbatt [91] measured initial irreversible OH uptake coefficients of ~ 0.1 for water 

ice between 205–230 K; these decayed to γ = 0.03 ±0.02 after repeated exposure to OH. Self-reaction to form 

H2O or H2O2 was indicated by the lack of observable gas phase products despite observation of first-order 

OH loss. 

3. OH + HCl • nH2O(l). Cooper and Abbatt [91] demonstrated significant enhancement of OH uptake 

(to γ > 0.2) after HCl doping of 220 K ice surfaces sufficient to melt the surface layer. It is unclear whether 

OH is lost to self-reaction or reaction with hydrated Cl–

 ions. 

4. OH + HNO3 • 3H2O. Cooper and Abbatt [91] measured γ > 0.2 for nitric acid-doped ice surfaces under 

conditions suitable for NAT formation at 200 and 228 K. Increase over pure ice uptake rates is probably due 

to HNO3 + OH → H2O + NO3 reaction. 

5. OH + H2SO4 • nH2O. Lower limits of 0.2 for uptake coefficients on 45–65 wt % H2SO4 between 220 and 

230 K and for 96 wt % H2SO4 at 230 and 298 K by Cooper and Abbatt [91] are consistent with a lower limit 

of 0.07 on 28 wt % H2SO4 at 275 K in similar experiments by Hanson et al. [151] and a probable surface 

saturated value of (4.9 ±0.5) × 10–4 from Knudsen cell measurements by Baldwin and Golden [27] and an 

estimate of γ = 1 on ~96 wt % H2SO4 at 298 K by Gerhenzon et al. [136] using a coated insert flow tube 

technique. Uptake is probably reactive with OH + HSO4

– → H2O + SO4–

 the hypothesized process. 

6. OH + NaCl(s). Ivanov et al. [193] used a fast flow reactor with a central salt coated rod to measure 

heterogeneous loss of OH between 245 and 339 K. Their fit for NaCl(s) yielded 

γ = (1.2 ±0.7) × 10–5 exp[(1750 ±200)/T]. Similar data for NH4NO3 yielded 

γ – (1.4 ±0.5) × 10–4 exp [(1000 ±100)]. Since uptake was irreversible, it is assumed that the loss was selfreaction. 

7. HO2 on H2O(s) and H2SO4 • nH2O(l). Uptake of HO2 on ice and super-cooled 55 wt % sulfuric acid at 223 K 

has been demonstrated to be limited by HO2 surface saturation by Cooper and Abbatt [91]. They argue that 

self-reaction, presumably 2HO2 → H2O2 + O2 is limiting measured uptake coefficients of 0.025 ±0.005 for 

ice and 0.055 ±0.020 for 55 wt % H2SO4. However, Gershenzon et al. [135]measured γ > 0.2 for 80 and 

96 wt % H2SO4 at 243 K and Hanson et al. [151] measured a lower limit for 28 wt % H2SO4 at 275 K of 

0.07. However, large gas phase diffusion corrections mean this value is consistent with γ = 1. 

8. NO2 + H2O(1). Value for γ of (6.3 ± 0.7) × 10–4 at 273 K (Tang and Lee, [327]) was achieved by chemical 

consumption of NO2 by SO3

=

; their stopped-flow measurement was probably still affected by surface 

saturation, leading to the measurement of a lower limit. Ponche et al. [276] measured an uptake coefficient of 

(1.5 ± 0.6) × 10–3 at 298 K, which was also probably subject to saturation limitations. Mertes and Wahner 

[254] used a liquid jet technique to measure a lower limit of γ ≥ 2 × 10–4 at 278 K, and they observed partial 

conversion of the absorbed NO2 to HONO. Msibi et al. [266] used a cylindrical/annular flow reactor to 

derive g = (8.7 ±0.6) × 10–5 on pH = 7 deionized water surfaces and (4.2 ± 0.9) × 10–4 on pH = 9.3 wet 

ascorbate surfaces; it seems likely that these results are also subject to surface saturation given the 

gas/surface interaction times involved in the experiment. Data are consistent with an α ≥ 1 × 10–3 for 278–

298 K and a liquid-phase second-order hydrolysis of NO2 to HONO and HNO3 which depends on 

temperature and pH. However, the interplay between accommodation, possible surface reaction, and bulk 

reaction may be complex. 
5-20

9. NO2 + H2SO4 • nH2O. Kleffman et al. [224] performed bubble tube reactor uptake measurements for 

0–98 wt. % acid at 298 K and for 44.6 and 56.1 wt % from 250–325 K. At 298 K, measured uptake 

coefficients varied between 6 and 3 × 10–7 with a minimum near 70 wt. %. Most measurements at 44.6 and 

56.1 wt. % overlapped within their error limits and showed little temperature dependence although there is 

evidence that uptake increases at the lowest temperatures. The data can all be captured with a recommended 

value of 5 × 10–7 with an uncertainty factor of three. 

This recommendation is consistent with earlier upper limits of 1 × 10–6 by Baldwin and Golden [26] for 

96 wt. % at 295 K and 5 × 10–6 for 70 wt. % between 193 and 243 K by Saastad et al. [303]. Kleffman et al. 

[224] conclude that their uptake measurements are mass accommodation limited; however, it is not clear that 

their values are not influenced by bulk or surface reaction of two NO2 with H2O to form HONO and HNO3 at 

lower acid wt. % values and the formation of nitrosyl sulfuric acid at higher acid concentrations. Kleffman et. 

al. [224] did perform separate static wetted wall reactor studies showing the formation of gas phase HONO at 

acid concentrations below 60 wt. %. It is more likely that reactive uptake is a controlling factor and the 

measured uptakes are solubility and/or reaction rate limited. Thus, the mass accommodation coefficient may 

be much larger than the recommended uptake values. 

10. NO2 + NaCl(s), NaBr(s). Vogt and Finlayson-Pitts [342,344] used diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy 

to study the reaction of NO2 with NaCl(s) at 298 K, and Vogt et al. [341] used the same technique to study 

NO2 + NaBr(s) at 298 K. Both reactions were shown to be approximately second order in NO2. Assuming 

that adsorbed N2O4 is the reactant leads to γ = (1.3 ± 0.6) × 10–4 for NaCl(s) and 2 (+4, –1.3) × 10–4 for 

NaBr(s). Peters and Ewing [275] measured reactive uptake for single-crystal NaCl(100) surfaces and 

observed both NO3

–

(c) and ClNO products. The value of γ(N2O4) measured by Peters and Ewing at 298 K 

was only 

(1.3 ±0.3) × 10–6. They noted that small amounts of water vapor (9.5 mbar) cause γ to increase by two orders 

of magnitude. 

11. NO3 on H2O(s). Fenter and Rossi [121] measured an upper limit for γ of 10–3 over the range from 170 to 

200 K. 

12. NO3 + H2O(l). Rudich et al. [300,301] used wetted-wall flow tube techniques to measure uptake coefficients 

for NO3 on pure water and aqueous NaCl, NaBr, NaI, and NaNO2 solutions. These studies were extended to 

other aqueous solutions by Imamura et al. [189]. Uptake on pure water was consistent with reaction of NO3

to produce HNO3 and OH. Uptake coefficients with solutions containing I–

 , Cl– , Br – , NO2

–

 and other 

anions were larger and scaled with anion concentration, indicating electon transfer reactions to produce NO3

–

. The γ of (2.0 ±1.0 × 10– 4) at 273 K determined for pure water by Rudich et al. is significantly lower than 

the lower limit of 2.5 × 10–3 quoted by Mihelcic et al. [258]. A detailed analysis of uptake coefficients for KI 

aqueous solutions indicated that the NO3 mass accommodation coefficient is >0.04 [301]. 

13. N2O5 + H2O(s). Leu [232] and Hanson and Ravishankara [157] measured nearly identical values of 

0.028 (±0.011) and 0.024 (±30%) in the 195–202 K range on relatively thick ice films in coated wall flow 

tubes. Quinlan et al. [281] measured a maximum value for γ on ice surfaces at 188 K of 0.03 in a Knudsen 

cell reactor. The average of these three studies is 0.027 with a standard deviation of 0.003. Hanson and 

Ravishankara [158,160] presented new and re-analyzed data as a function of ice thickness, with a value of 

~0.008 for the thinnest ice sample, rising to 0.024 for the thickest. From these data there would appear to be 

no strong dependence on temperature, at least over the 188–195 K range. It is unclear whether the measured 

dependence on ice film thickness is due to added porosity surface area in the thicker films or decreased ice 

film integrity in thinner films. The error estimate in the table is driven by the possible systematic error due to 

unresolved film thickness effects rather than the small statistical error among the “thick film” values from the 

three groups. 

Zondlo et al. [374] report the formation of a supercooled H2O/HNO3 liquid layer at 185 K as a reaction 

product, forming NAT or NAD only after decreasing the relative humidity below the ice frost point. This 

effect is similar to that resulting from the interaction of gaseous HNO3 or ClONO2 with the ice surface. These 

authors measured γ = (7 ± 3) ×10–4 at 185 K for the reaction of N2O5 with this supercooled liquid layer. 

14. N2O5 + H2O(l). Reaction on liquid water has a negative temperature dependence. Van Doren et al. [337] 

measured γs of 0.057 ± 0.003 at 271 K and 0.036 ± 0.004 at 282 K using a droplet train uptake technique. 

George et al. [132] also used a droplet train technique to measure γs of (3.0 ± 0.2) × 10–2 (262 K), 

(2.9 ± 1.2) × 10–2 (267 K), (2.0 ± 0.2) × 10–2 (273 K), (1.6 ± 0.8) × 10–2 (276 K), and 

(1.3 ± 0.8) × 10–2 (277 K) on pure water, while Schweitzer et al. [310] used the same approach for pure water 
5-21

and salt solutions between 262 and 278 K, obtaining similar results. Mozurkewich and Calvert [263] studied 

uptake on NH3/H2SO4/H2O aerosols in a flow reactor. For their most water-rich aerosols (RH = 76%) they 

measured γs of 0.10 ±0.02 at 274 and 0.039 ±0.012 at 293 K. However, similar studies by Hu and Abbatt 

[180] on (NH3)2SO4 aerosols at 297 K showed that uptake rises with decreasing relative humidity (RH); their 

94% RH results agree very well with the temperature trend measured by Van Doren et al. Msibi et al.[265] 

measured a smaller γ of 2.5 × 10–3 for water adsorbed on a denuder flow tube well under 66–96% relative 

humidity conditions at room temperature. The higher γ values of Van Doren et al., Mozurkewhich and 

Calvert, and Hu and Abbatt are quite consistent when temperature and RH effects are factored in. The lower 

values from the Louis Pasteur (George et al.; Schweitzer et al.) and Birmingham (Msibi et al.) groups appear 

to have much less pronounced temperature dependence and are inconsistent with the other measurements. 

The same function used to fit the N2O5 uptake on sulfuric acid as a function of temperature and 

concentration, discussed in note 17 below, has been extended to the Van Doren et al. and Hu and Abbatt data 

for pure water and very high RH aerosols. See note 17 for the functional fit and its error discussion. 

15. N2O5 + HNO3 • 3H2O(s). Hanson and Ravishankara [155] have measured γ = 0.0006 (± 30%) near 200 K. 

They presented re-analyzed and additional data as a function of ice thickness (Hanson and Ravishankara 

[158,160]), deriving a value of 3 × 10–4 for the thinnest NAT covered ice layer, with values up to three times 

higher for thicker NAT-covered ice layers. As in the case of uptake on water ice this may be due to increased 

surface area from porosity in the thicker films, or less integrity in the thinner films. The uncertainty listed in 

Table A-1 is driven by this observed effect. All of the Hanson et al. data are in very poor agreement with the 

γ = 0.015 (±0.006) reported by Quinlan et al. [281] from their Knudsen cell measurements; this measurement 

may have been biased by formation of a super-cooled aqueous nitric acid surface and is judged to be 

unreliable. 

16. N2O5 + H2SO4 • nH2O(l). This reaction has been intensively studied between 195 and 296 K for a wide range 

of H2SO4 wt. % values using four complementary experimental techniques. Data are available from aerosol 

flow tube studies (Fried et al. [129], Hanson and Lovejoy [152], Hu and Abbatt [180], and Hallquist et al. 

[145]), coated wall flow tube studies (Hanson and Ravishankara [155], Zhang et al. [365]), a stirred Knudsen 

cell (Manion et al. [249]) and droplet train studies (Van Doren et al. [337], Robinson et al. [293]). All studies 

have yielded γs between ~0.05 and 0.20 with modest dependence on surface H2SO4 wt. % and temperature. 

The Knudsen cell studies, aerosol flow tube studies at higher N2O5 exposure and the ternary 

H2SO4/HNO3/H2O studies of Zhang et al. [365] all illustrate that significant levels of HNO3 in the 

H2SO4/H2O solutions will reduce γ measurably; this fact explains some of the scatter in aerosol flow tube 

studies and the surface saturation evident in the Knudsen cell studies. The effect of 5.0 × 10–7 Torr HNO3 on 

γ as a function of temperature at two water vapor concentrations are plotted in Zhang et al. [365]; the 

decrease in γ is greatest at low temperatures, approaching a factor of 2–5 between 200 and 195 K. 

Experimental data on sulfuric acid surfaces between 40 and 80 wt. % sulfuric acid deemed to be free of 

saturation effects, plus the pure water uptake data of Van Doren et al. [337] and high relative humidity 

ammonium sulfate aerosol uptake data of Hu and Abbatt [180] were all fit to a polynomial expression to 

yield a single model describing γ for N2O5 uptake valid between 0 and 80 wt. % H2SO4 and 180 to 300 K 

(Robinson et al. [293]). The form of this function is: γo=exp (ko+k1/T+k2/T2

), where T is the temperature in 

K. The parameters ko, k1, and k2 obtained from the best-fit are: 

 ko = –25.5265 – 0.133188wt + 0.00930846wt2 – 9.0194×10–5wt3

 k1 = 9283.76 + 115.345wt – 5.19258wt2 + 0.0483464wt3

 k2 = –851801– 22191.2wt + 766.916 wt2 – 6.85427wt3

 where wt is the weight percentage of H2SO4. 

 The overall error of applying the uptake function provided here consists of two components. One is the

 (These formulations are also applied below in the error estimation for the ClONO2 + H2O and HCl, 

BrONO2 + H2O, and HOCl + HCl reaction system. For N2O5, the error is estimated to be 15% (one sigma), 

with σm=14.7% and σd=2.9%). 

17. N2O5 + H2SO4 • H2O(s). Zhang et al. [366] used coated flow tube techniques to measure the uptake of N2O5

on solid sulfuric acid monohydrate over a temperature range of 200 to 225 K. The measurement values of γ

were significantly higher at 200 K (γ ~ 1 × 10–3) than at 225 K (γ ~10–4) and were well fit by 

log γ = [4.78 – 0.0386T(K)]. Acid-rich H2SO4 • H2O surfaces had a lower γ than water rich surfaces 

(log γ = [0.162 – 0.789 × log pH2O] where pH2O is their experimental water vapor partial pressure). 

18. N2O5 on H2SO4 • 4H2O(s). Hanson and Ravishankara [162] studied N2O5 uptake by frozen 57.5 and 

60 wt % H2SO4 as a function of temperature and relative humidity. The 57.5 wt % surface was not sensitive 

to relative humidity and was slightly more reactive (γ = 0.008 vs 0.005) at 205 K than at 195 K. Reaction 

probabilities on the 60 wt % surface dropped off with temperature and relative humidity. 

19. N2O5 + HCl on H2O(s). Leu [233] measured γ = 0.028 (±0.011) at 195 K, while Tolbert et al. [331] measured 

a lower limit of 1 × 10–3 at 185 K. These experiments were done at high HCl levels probably leading to a 

liquid water/acid surface solution (Abbatt et al. [5]). Seisel et al. [311] measured γ ~ 0.03 at 200 K using a 

Knudsen flow reactor with a range of HCl flows. The uptake coefficient at low HCl flows is only slightly 

enhanced compared to the uptake on a pure ice surface. 

20. N2O5 + HCl on HNO3 • 3H2O(s). Hanson and Ravishankara [155] measured γ = 0.0032 (±30%) near 200 K. 

21. N2O5 + HCl on H2SO4 • H2O(s). Zhang et al. [366] saw no increase in N2O5 uptake on sulfuric acid 

monohydrate at 195 K upon exposure to HCl, setting γ < 10–4. 

22. N2O5 + NaCl (s,aq). Using FTIR analysis, Livingston and Finlayson-Pitts [241] have demonstrated that N2O5

reacts with crystalline NaCl to form NaNO3(s), and they report γ > 2.5 × 10–3 at 298 K. However, Leu et 

al.[235] used flow tube/mass spectrometric techniques to obtain γ < 1 × 10–4 for dry salt at 223 and 296 K; 

they also noted that exposing salt surfaces to small amounts of H2O vapor increased γ significantly. Fenter et 

al.[119] measured γ = (5.0 ±0.2) × 10–4 on fused salt surfaces at room temperature, assuming the geometrical 

surface area is the only surface accessed. Msibi et al. [265] measured NO3

–

 deposition on an annular flow 

reactor to determine γ = 1 × 10–3 for salt surfaces between 45 and 96% relative humidity at room temperature, 

rising to γ = 1.5 × 10–2 at 96–97% relative humidity, but they argue that most of the uptake is due to reaction 

with H2O. On aqeous NaCl solutions, Zetzsch, Behnke, and co-workers [43,44,362] have studied the reaction 

of N2O5 with aqueous NaCl aerosols in an aerosol chamber. The relative yields of ClNO2 and HNO3 rise with 

the NaCl concentration. A reaction probability of ~0.03 is measured with a 50% ClNO2 yield at the 

deliquescence point (Zetsch and Behnke). This picture is confirmed by droplet uptake studies on 1 M NaCl 

solutions reported by George et al. [132] which confirm that uptake on salt solutions in the 263–278 K 

temperature range is larger than that on pure water droplets. 

23. N2O5 + HBr on H2O(s). Seisel et al. [311] report γ values ranging from ~3 × 10–3 to 0.1, depending on the 

HBr concentrations employed; the measurements were conducted at 180 and 200 K. These authors report Br2

and HONO in 80% yield as products with respect to N2O5 taken up, generated presumably by the secondary 

reaction of the primary product BrNO2 with HBr.
5-23

24. N2O5 + HBr on HNO3 • 3H2O(s). This reaction, yielding γ ~0.005, was investigated on NAT surfaces near 

200 K by Hanson and Ravishankara [159]. Under some conditions a much higher reaction coefficient of 

~0.04 was observed. 

25. N2O5 + MBr. Finlayson-Pitts et al. [122] used FTIR techniques to demonstrate that BrNO2(ads) is a major 

product of the N2O5(g) + NaBr(s) reaction. However, Fenter et al. [119] failed to measure gas-phase 

evolution of BrNO2 using Knudsen cell/mass spectrometry techniques, detecting Br2(g) instead. They 

propose that BrNO2 reacts with KBr(s) to yield KNO2(s) + Br2(g). A γ of (4.0 ±2.0) × 10–3 at room 

temperature was determined for fused KBr surfaces with well-defined surface areas. 

26. HONO + H2O(l). Bongartz et al. [56] present uptake measurements by two independent techniques, the 

liquid jet technique of Schurath and co-workers and the droplet train/flow tube technique of Mirabel and coworkers (Ponche et al. [276]). With a surface temperature of ~245 K the droplet train techniques yielded 

0.045<γ<0.09, while the liquid jet operating with a surface temperature of 297 K obtained 0.03 < γ < 0.15. 

Mertes and Wahner used a liquid jet technique to measure 4 × 10– 3 < γ < 4 × 10–2 at 278 K. Since HONO 

uptake by liquid water probably involved hydrolysis, an increase in Henry’s law solubility with decreasing 

temperature may be offset by a decreasing hydrolysis rate constant, leaving the uptake coefficient’s 

temperature trend uncertain. Measured uptake coefficients will not correspond to the mass accommodation 

coefficient. 

27. HONO + H2SO4 • nH2O(l). Zhang et al. [368] measured uptake coefficients for HONO on sulfuric acid that 

increased from (1.6 ±0.1) × 10–2 for 65.3 wt. % H2SO4 (214 K) to (9.1 ±1.6) × 10–2 for 73 wt. % H2SO4

(226 K). Fenter and Rossi [120] measured uptake coefficients rising from 1.8 × 10–4 for 55 wt. % H2SO4

(220 K) to 3.1 × 10–1 for 95 wt. % H2SO4 (220 K and 273 K). Baker et al. [24] measured much smaller 

uptake coefficients for 60 wt. % at 298 K. In general, the values measured by Zhang et al. [368] are a factor 

of 2 to 5 higher than those of Fenter et al. [120] for comparable acid concentrations. Since the reaction 

probably depends on both temperature and acid concentration and since the data scatter is high in both 

experiments, further independent data will be required to define γ as a function of acid concentration and 

temperature. These data are generally consistent with the effective Henry’ law constant measurements of 

Becker et al. [42] who illustrate that HONO solubility decreases exponentially with H2SO4 concentration 

until ~53 wt %, at which point reaction to form nitrosyl sulfuric acid increases H* dramatically as H2SO4

concentration increases. Baker et al. [24] invoke surface decomposition of HONO to explain their room 

temperature data, since they separately determine that the bulk second-order disproportionation rate for 

HONO is too slow to account for even their small uptake coefficients. It is possible that surface formation of 

nitrosyl sulfuric acid and not HONO disproportionation is responsible for much of their measured uptake. 

The Zhang et al. [368] and Fenter and Rossi [120] data have been combined and fit with a four-term 

polynomial as a function of acid wt. % (these data did not show an obvious temperature dependence): 

 ln γ = a + b wt + c wt2

 + d wt3

 where wt is the H2SO4 wt. %, and 

 a = –155.7 ± 29.7 

b = 5.663 ± 1.232 

c = –0.07061 ± 0.01679 

d = 0.000297 ± 0.000076 

 This parameterization should be used only within the 55–95-wt.-%-H2SO4 range and the 214-to-273-K 

temperature range. 

28. HONO + HCl + H2O(s). Knudsen cell uptake studies for HONO/HCl co-deposited on ice (180–200 K) and 

for HONO on 0.1 to 10 m HCl frozen solutions (~190 K) by Fenter and Rossi [120] showed HONO uptake 

coefficients in the 0.02 to 0.12 range as long as surface HCl concentrations significantly exceed HONO 

concentrations. ClNO was evolved quantitatively with HONO consumption. 

29. HONO + HCl on H2SO4 • nH2

O(l). Fenter and Rossi [120] saw no reaction for acid wt. % > 65. They 

measured γ = 2.0±0.7 × 10–3 for 60 wt. % acid saturated with HONO at 230 K. Zhang et al. [368] also 

measured the uptake of HCl after exposure to HONO, they observed HCl uptake with γs between 0.01–0.02 

over an acid wt. % range of 60.8–71.3 (T = 207.9–222.6 K). The reaction was also studied by Longfellow et 

al. [242] using both HCl doped and HONO doped sulfuric acid aerosols. Their uptake measurements 
5-24

confirmed reaction at higher acid wt. %, but by using lower HONO partial pressures they measured smaller 

γs. The reverse reaction, ClNO hydrolysis, was also studied in a wetted wall flow reactor and in the aerosol 

flow reactor by Longfellow et al. [242] and in a Knudsen cell reactor by Fenter and Rossi [120]. Data show 

clear evidence of both surface and bulk kinetics for the forward reaction. Longfellow et al. [242] report kII

values for the bulk reaction (in units of 104

 M–1s

–1) for 50 wt. %: 81 at 250 K and 15 at 205 K; for 60 wt. %: 

9.4 at 250 K, 6.9 at 230 K and 5.0 at 219 K; for 67 wt. %: 3.9 at 250 K; and for 70 wt. %: 5.8 at 269 K and 

0.35 at 215 K. The reaction is clearly complex and will require a comprehensive model of both the surface 

and bulk processes to arrive at an appropriate parameterization for γ. 

30. HONO + NaCl(s). Diffuse reflectance experiments by Vogt and Finlayson-Pitt [343] on room temperature 

NaCl(s) and Knudsen cell uptake experiments by Fenter and Rossi on room temperature NaCl(s) and frozen 

0.1 M NaCl aqueous solutions, all failed to show HONO uptake. The latter results yield γ < 1 × 10–4. 

31. HNO3 + NaX(s)/KX(s). Vogt and Finlayson-Pitts [342,344] used diffuse infrared reflectance spectroscopy to 

characterize the process. There was absorption of HNO3, but no reaction was observed on completely dry 

NaCl(s); however, NaNO3 forms in the presence of very low (well below the deliquescence point) levels of 

H2O(g). Using XPS spectroscopy to identify surface products and a dry HNO3 source, Laux et al. [230] (also 

see Vogt et al.) measured γ = (4 ±2) × 10–4 at 298 K. Fenter et al. [118] measured the room temperature 

uptake of HNO3 on solid powders of NaCl, NaBr, KCl, KBr, and NaNO3, using Knudsen cell/mass 

spectrometry techniques. They saw similar uptake for all surfaces, including unreactive NaNO3, and 

recommend γ = (2.8 ±0.3) × 10–2 for all salts. HCl or HBr was produced with ~100% yield from the halide 

surfaces. There is some concern about the effective surface area of the powders used by Fenter et al. (see Leu 

et al.[235]). Fenter et al. report new HNO3 data to support their argument that “sticky” gases such as HNO3

cannot penetrate below the top surface layer of the powders used in their experiments. Leu et al. [235] used 

flow tube/mass spectrometry techniques to measure γ = (1.3 ±0.4) × 10–2 at 296 K and γ > 8 × 10–3 at 223 K, 

both in the presence of low levels of H2O(g). They determined that uptake at 296 K was reactive, producing 

HCl but that at 223 K reaction was suppressed and uptake was largely absorptive. Beichert and FinlaysonPitts [46] measured γ = (1.4 ±0.6) × 10–2 at 298 K with a Knudsen cell technique, and, using D2O, 

demonstrated that chemisorbed water, presumably retained on defect sites, was crucial for NaNO3 formation. 

This suggests that low levels of defect-retained water are responsible for the small uptake values measured by 

Laux et al. 

32. HO2NO2 + HCl on H2SO4 • nH2O(l). Zhang et al. [369] performed wetted-wall flow-reactor studies with HCl 

and HO2NO2 partial pressures in the 10–6 to 10–7 Torr range. Using chemical ionization mass spectrometry 

(CIMS) to detect expected reaction products, no Cl2 (using SF4

–

 as an analyte ion) or HOCl (using F–) was 

detected over a temperature range of 200–225 K and an acid concentration range of 50–70 wt. % H2SO4. An 

upper limit for the reactive uptake coefficient for HO2NO2 reacting with HCl of γ < 1 × 10–4 was deduced. 

33. NH3 + H2SO4 • nH2O. Robbins and Cadle [289], Huntzicker et al. [184], McMurry et al. [253], and Daumer 

et al. [97] all studied NH3 uptake by sulfuric acid aerosols in near room temperature flow reactors 

(T = 281–300 K). Uptake coefficients varied between 0.1 and 0.5. Rubel and Gentry [299] used levitated 

H3PO4 acid droplets to show that heterogeneous reaction does control the initial NH3 uptake on strong acid 

solutions. Both Rubel and Gentry and Däumer et al. also explored the effect of organic surface coatings. 

34. CH3C(O)O2 + H2O(l) and H2SO4 • nH2O. Villalta et al. [339] used wetted-wall flow tube techniques to 

measure γ = 4.3 (+ 2.4 /–1.5) × 10–3 for water at 274 ± 3K. They also measured uptake for 34 wt % H2SO4 at 

246 K (γ = (2.7 ± 1.5) × 10–3), 51 wt % at 273 K (γ = (0.9 ± 0.5) × 10–3), and 71 wt % at 298 K 

(γ = (1.4 ± 0.7) × 10–3). They suggest that products subsequent to hydrolysis are HO2 and CH3C(O)OH. 

35. CH3C(O)O2NO2 + HCl, Cl, ClO, and OClO on H2SO4 • nH2

O(l). Zhang and Leu [364] performed wetted wall 

flow reactor studies with Cl species partial pressures in the 10–6 to 10–7 Torr range and CH3C(O)O2NO2 at 

3 × 10–6 Torr after equilibrating the acid surfaces (42, 51, and 69 wt. % at 202 and 224 K) with 

CH3C(O)O2NO2. Also uptake studies with 5 × 10–7 Torr CH3C(O)O2NO2 were performed after exposing the 

acid surface to the Cl species. No Cl species or CH3C(O)O2NO2 uptake enhancements were observed under 

either condition and an upper limit for the reactive uptake coefficient of γ < 1 × 10 –4 of CH3C(O)O2NO2 was 

deduced. No gas phase reaction products were observed using CIMS after 42 wt. % H2SO4at 210 K was 

exposed to CH3C(O)O2NO2 and each Cl species for 20 minutes.

36. Cl + H2SO4 • nH2O(l). Measured reaction probability (Martin et al. [250]) varies between 3 × 10–5 and 

7 × 10–4 as H2O and T co-vary. Reaction product is claimed to be HCl. 
5-25

37. Cl2+HBr + H2O(s). Hanson and Ravishankara [159] measured a reaction probability of > 0.2 on water ice 

near 200 K. BrCl was not detected, presumably due to rapid reaction with excess HBr. 

38. Cl2 and BrCl + KBr(s). Caloz et al. [64] measured γ > 0.1 for reactive uptake of Cl2 and BrCl on KBr(s) in a 

room temperature Knudsen cell experiment. 

39. Cl2 and Br2 + NaBr(aq) and NaI(aq). Hu et al. [181] measured large uptake coefficients for Cl2 on dilute 

aqueous droplets of NaBr and NaI solutions and Br2 on NaI solutions using a droplet train technique. 

Reaction was demonstrated to proceed through both a chemisorbed surface complex and normal bulk 

solution second-order kinetics. Second-order bulk reaction rate constants near the diffusion limit and 

consistent with bulk-phase kinetic measurements were obtained between 263 and 293 K. 

40. ClO + H2O(s) and HNO3 • nH2O(s). Proposed reaction (Leu [233]) is 2 ClO → Cl2 + O2; reactive uptake may 

depend on ClO surface coverage, which in turn may depend on gas phase ClO concentrations. Kenner et al. 

[214] measured reaction probabilities of (8 ±2) × 10–5 for ice at 183 K which is far lower than the limit of 

>1 × 10–3 obtained by Leu [233]. Abbatt [3], using nearly the same low levels of ClO as Kenner et al., 

obtained γ < 1 × 10–5 at 213 K. The difference may lie in the level of ClO or other adsorbable reactive species 

present. The lower value of Abbatt is probably closer to the expected reactivity under stratospheric 

conditions. Kenner et al. also measured a reaction probability limit of < (8 ±4) × 10–5 for NAT at 183 K.

41. ClO + H2SO4 • nH2O. Measured reaction probability (Martin et al. [250]) varies between 2 × 10–5 and 

2 × 10–4 as H2O content is varied by changing wall temperature. Reaction product is claimed to be HCl, not 

Cl2. Abbatt [3] measured γ < 1 × 10–5 for 60 and 70 wt % H2SO4 at 213 K. 

42. HCl + HNO3 on H2SO4• m HNO3 • nH2O(l). Two studies have noted HCl activation in concentrated ternary 

H2SO4/HNO3/H2O solutions or ice slurries. Luick et al. [246] saw only gas phase HCl in 64.6 wt. % H2SO4/ 

4.8 wt. % HNO3 at 200 K, but saw a vapor phase Cl partitioning of 50% HCl and 50% ClNO/ClNO2 for a 

76.6/20.1 wt. % solution (an ice slurry) at 200 K. Cappa et al. [65] saw substantial yields of ClNO, ClNO2,

and Cl2 at 273 K for a range of solution compositions; e.g. 32.6%, 9.8% and 44.4% respectively for a total 

HCl conversion of 86.9% in a 35% H2SO4 /45% HNO3 solution and 20.2%, 6.9%, 27.9% for a 60/25 wt. % 

solution. While no kinetic coefficients or detailed mechanisms are available, these studies do show the 

potential for HCl activation in strong H2SO4/HNO3/H2O solutions. 

43. HOCl + HCl + H2O(s) and HNO3 • 3H2O(s). Hanson and Ravishankara [158] and Abbatt and Molina [6] 

have investigated the HOCl + HCl reaction on water ice and NAT-like surfaces, and Chu et al. [76][72] 

studied the reaction on water ice. Product yield measurements support the identification of Cl2 and H2O as 

the sole products. The measured yield of product Cl2 is 0.87 ±0.20 and was stated to be similar on both 

surfaces according to Abbatt and Molina. Within the accuracy of the experiments, the reaction probability 

does not depend on the gas phase HCl and HOCl densities. Only Abbatt and Molina investigated at more 

than one temperature, their data indicates that γ increases at lower temperatures. A plot of data from the three 

studies does show a weak temperature trend, with γ increasing about a factor of two as the temperature drops 

from 202 to 188 K. However, the data are too sparse to assign a definitive temperature dependence. The 

average of all three studies yields γ = 0.26 ± 0.08 for data based on the geometrical area of the flow tube 

surfaces. Chu et al. [72] indicate that a porosity correction for their data would reduce their value bya factor 

of 3 to 4. The real uncertainty would appear to be dominated by systematic uncertainties in porosity 

corrections and a potential temperature dependence. Given the fact that any porosity correction must reduce 

the value, a central value of 0.2 is adopted with an uncertainty factor of 2. The high reaction probabilities 

measured for water ice indicate that this reaction may play a significant role in release of reactive chlorine 

from the HCl reservoir. 

Two studies (Hanson and Ravishankara [158]; Abbatt and Molina [6]) have measured the reaction 

probability of HOCl + HCl on NAT surfaces. These data show γ increases as the ambient water pressure 

increases and then reaches a plateau. At relatively high water pressure, the two studies averaged γ = 0.135 ± 

0.049, with no porosity correction. The reaction probability on water poor NAT-like surfaces falls off 

dramatically (a factor of 10). A recommendation of 0.1 with an uncertainty factor of 2 is shown in Table 5-2. 

Carslaw and Peter [67] have published a model of this reaction and its dependence on HCl uptake. 

44. HOCl + HCl + H2SO4 • nH2O(l). This process has been studied in coated flow tubes over ~200–260 K by 

Zhang et al. [363], Hanson and Ravishankara [161], Donaldson et al. [107], and Hanson and Lovejoy [154]. 

Hanson and Lovejoy also made measurements in an aerosol flow tube from 251 to 276 K. A model of this 

and related sulfuric acid aerosol reactions tailored to stratospheric conditions has been published by Hanson 

et al. [168]. Zhang et al. held the water vapor partial pressure at 3.8 × 10–4 Torr and showed γ increased by a 
5-26

factor of 50 as the temperature was lowered from 209 to 198 K, showing that the reaction rate is strongly 

dependent on water activity. 

A detailed kinetic uptake model has been developed to fit the experimental data [313]. The formulation for γ

is given as:

At the low temperatures of interest, α for HOCl was assumed to be unity consistent with the value for HCl 

measured at 240 K and below (Robinson et al. [294]). The individual formulations for HHOCl, DHOCl and 

kHOCl-HCl are given in Table A-4 in Shi et al. [313]. Reaction of HOCl with HCl is considered to be acid 

catalyzed. It is known that the reaction rate for HOCl + HCl in pure water is low (Donaldson et al. [107]). 

Experimental data noted above indicated that the reaction rate of HOCl + HCl increases with acidicity of 

H2SO4 solution. The data from the experimental studies noted above were fit to the model without bias. 

Using the same error analysis discussed in the note for N2O5 uptake on sulfuric acid, a detailed kinetic model 

yields a 33.4% error (one sigma fit to the available data set, with σm=33.3% and σd=3.0%). 

In the cold stratosphere where T<190 K, the reaction of ClONO2 + HCl is so fast that HCl is depleted which 

slows down the reaction of HOCl + HCl. As shown in Table A-4 in Shi et al., the effect of HCl depletion on 

the HOCl reactive uptake coefficient (due to reaction with ClONO2 inside/on the surface of particles) is taken 

into account via the factor FHCl (also see the note on chlorine nitrate/hydrochloric acid reactive uptake on 

sulfuric acid surfaces). 

45. HOCl + HBr on H2O(s). Chu and Chu [72] measured γ at 189 K to be in the range from 0.06 to 0.38 for HBr 

partial pressures ranging from 1.1 × 10–7 to 6.6 × 10–5 Torr. At 220 K they measured γ in the range from 0.01 

to 0.07 for HBr partial pressures in the range from 7.2 × 10–7 to 1.3 × 10–5 Torr. These γ values were 

estimated assuming the area of the ice surface to be equal to the geometric area of the cylindrical flow 

reactor; corrections for surface porosity effects range from a factor of 3 to 10 lower. 

46. HOCl + HBr on H2SO4 • nH2O(l). Abbatt and Nowak [8] measured uptake of HOCl in the presence of excess 

HBr on a 69.3 wt. % sulfuric acid solution in a wetted wall flow reactor at 228 K. A second order bulk 

reaction rate constant, kII, of 2 × 106

 M–1s

–1 was derived; this is a factor of ~10 faster than HOBr + HCl under 

the same conditions. Since HOCl and HBr have similar solubilities under stratospheric conditions, 

characterizing this reaction with a simple uptake coefficient is not appropriate. A full 

reaction/solubility/liquid phase diffusion model will require further data. 

47. ClNO and ClNO2 + NaCl(s). Using a Knudsen cell technique Beichart and Finlayson-Pitts set upper limits of 

γ < ~10–5 for reactive uptake of ClNO and ClNO2 on NaCl(s) powders at 298 K. 

48. ClONO2 + H2O(s). Measurement of γ = 0.3 (+0.7, –0.1) (Hanson and Ravishankara [155]) significantly 

exceeds previous measurements of Molina et al. [260], Tolbert et al. [333], Leu [232] and Moore et al. [262] 

but agrees reasonably well with subsequent measurements by Chu et al. [76] and Zhang et al. [365] when 

geometrical surface areas are assumed for analysis. Previous measurements were probably complicated by 

NAT formation on the surface (Hanson and Ravishankara [158]; Chu et al. [76]). Lower levels of ClONO2

(g) used by Hanson and Ravishankara [155] minimized this surface saturation problem. Also, using lower 

ClONO2 concentrations, Zhang et al. obtained a reaction probability of 0.08 ± 0.02 at 195 K, in fair 

agreement with the range of 0.03 to 0.13 measured by Chu et al. Subsequent Knudsen cell measurements at 

180 and 200 K by Oppliger et al. [272] showed initial uptake γs in the 0.2 to 0.4 range. Measured reaction 

products were HNO3 and HOCl. All of the HNO3 and much of the HOCl is retained on the surface under 

polar stratospheric conditions (Hanson and Ravishankara [155,158]). Hanson [149] deposited ClONO2 on 

H2

18O enriched ice and detected H18OCl showing the Cl–ONO2 bond is broken at 191 K. 

Data plots confirm a trend showing that at a high density of ClONO2, the product HNO3 covers the ice 

surface preventing the further reaction of ClONO2 with H2O molecules on the surface. Therefore, data 

obtained at high ClONO2 densities (>1014 molecules/cm3

) are excluded from further evaluation. An 

experiment (Berland et al. [53]) using a laser-induced thermal desorption technique yielded a much lower 

value of ClONO2 reaction probability at 190 K (about 3 orders of magnitude lower) after extrapolating the 
5-27

results obtained at temperatures of 140 K and below. We also exclude this point in the averaging of data 

since the physical characteristics of ice surfaces at these very low temperatures may not be very 

representative of those found at stratospheric temperatures. Selected data show no temperature dependence 

between T=180 and 200 K and averaged γo= 0.28 ± 0.25. Again, within the experimental accuracy, the 

Hanson and Ravishankara [158,160] and Chu et al. [76] data show that uptake measurements are nearly 

independent of ice substrate thickness. See Henson et al. [173,174] for discussion of a model which accounts 

for the effect of HNO3 on the reaction ClONO2 on water and nitric acid ice surfaces. 

Zondlo et al. [374] report the formation of a supercooled H2O/HNO3 liquid layer at 185 K as a reaction 

product, forming NAT or NAD only after decreasing the relative humidity below the ice frost point. This 

effect is similar to that resulting from the interaction of gaseous HNO3 or N2O5 with the ice surface. These 

authors measured γ = (3 ± 2) ×10–3 at 185 K for the reaction of ClONO2 with this supercooled liquid layer. 

49. ClONO2 + HNO3•nH2O(s). Hanson and Ravishankara [155] report a γ value of 0.006 at 201 K for the 

ClONO2 reaction with the water on NAT (HNO3•nH2O). However, these authors present re-analyzed and 

additional data with γ ≈ 0.001 at 191 K in Hanson and Ravishankara [158,160]. Similar experiments (Moore 

et al. [262], Leu et al. [234]) report a larger value of 0.02 ±0.01 which falls very rapidly as slight excesses of 

H2O above the 3/1 H2O/HNO3 ratio for NAT are removed. They measure γ of less than 1×10–6 for slightly 

water poor NAT surfaces. The inconsistency between Hanson and Ravishankara and the JPL group (Moore 

et al. [262]; Leu et al., [234]) has not been resolved. Abbatt and Molina [7] report γ values reaching 0.002 at 

202 K and high RH. Hanson and Ravishankara [158] reported that γ for this reaction increases by a factor of 

4 as the surface temperature increases from 191 to 211 K. However, Knudsen cell measurements at 185 K by 

Barone et al. [30] reported γ = 0.004 at a relative humidity (RH) of 100%, rising to 0.007 near RH = 120%, 

indicating a possible mild negative temperature dependence when high RH values from this and other studies 

are compared. Excluding the JPL data, the other data obtained at high RH (~90%) were averaged, assuming 

no temperature dependence, to yield γ = 0.0043 ±0.0021. The strong dependence on RH and the possible 

temperature dependence suggest that systematic error probably exceeds the calculated statistical error. Within 

the experimental accuracy, the data of Hanson and Ravishankara [158,160] show that measured uptake 

coefficients are independent of ice substrate thickness. Barone et al. report very similar uptake coefficients 

for nitric acid dihydrate (NAD) as for NAT as a function of RH at 202 K. See Henson et al. [173,174] for 

discussion of a model which accounts for the effect of HNO3 on the reaction of ClONO2 on water and nitric 

acid ice surfaces. 

50. ClONO2 + H2SO4•nH2O(l). Results from wetted-wall flow tube (Hanson and Ravishankara [165]) Knudsen 

cell reactor (Manion et al. [249]), aerosol flow tube (Hanson and Lovejoy [153]), and droplet train uptake 

(Robinson et al. [293]) experiments supplement older wetted-wall flow tube (Hanson and Ravishankara, 

[157]) and Knudsen cell measurements (Rossi et al. [298]), (Tolbert et al [332]). Although earlier Knudsen 

cell measurements probably suffered from surface saturation, more recent results compare well with those 

from other techniques. Saturation free results, available over a temperature range of 200–265 K and a H2SO4

concentration range of 39 to 75 wt. %, were fit to a phenomenological model developed by Robinson et al. 

[293]. Measured γ values depend strongly on H2SO4 concentration and vary modestly with temperature, with 

a trend to somewhat higher values for the 210–220 K temperature range. The temperature-dependent uptake 

model takes into account the temperature and composition dependence of the effective Henry's Law constant, 

liquid phase diffusion coefficient, and the liquid phase hydrolysis rate constant. The hydrolysis reaction was 

treated by modeling two reaction channels, a direct hydrolysis process dominating reaction at low H2SO4

concentrations with a reaction rate proportional to water activity and a proton-catalyzed reaction with a rate 

proportional to H+ activity, which dominates at higher acid concentrations. 

The data fit to the original Robinson et al. model have been supplemented by additional wetted-wall flow 

tube and aerosol flow tube data from Hanson [150] and aerosol flow tube data from Ball et al. [28]. A revised 

kinetic model (Shi et al. [313]) incorporating these data has been developed that is based on the earlier work 

of Robinson et al. [293].In this model, γ is calculated using the expression

The detailed parameterizations for HClONO2, DClONO2, and khydr are given in the Appendix in Shi et al. [313] As 

was the case for N2O5 hydrolysis khydr is seen to have a direct and an acid catalyzed channel. Using the same 

error analysis approach as in the note on N2O5 uptake, the model error is about 32.4% (one sigma), with 

σm=32.2% and σd=4.0%. 

In the calculation of the chlorine activation (Cl2 production) rate under stratospheric conditions, one needs to 

take into account the competition between the reactions of ClONO2 + H2O and ClONO2 + HCl. The presence 

of HCl will depress the reaction probability of ClONO2 with H2O (see note 49). 

51. ClONO2 + H2SO4 • H2O(s) and H2SO4 • 4H2O(s). Measurements by Hanson and Ravishankara [162] and 

Zhang et al. [363] demonstrate that the reaction probability on the tetrahydrate is a strong function of both 

temperature and relative humidity, both of which affect the level of adsorbed H2O. Both groups covered the 

temperature range of 192–205 K. The reaction is slowest at higher temperatures and lower relative 

humidities. Zhang et al. [363] have parameterized their data in the form of log γ = a1 + a2 log x + a3 log2

 x; 

for 195 K and x = water partial pressure in Torr: a1 = 10.12, a2 = 5.75 and a3 = 0.62; for a water partial 

pressure of 

3.4 × 10–4 Torr and x = T(K) between 182 and 206: a1 = 318.67, a2 =–3.13 and a3 = 0.0076. Zhang et al.[367] 

have also measured a low value of γ ∼ 2 × 10–4 on sulfuric acid monohydrate at 195 K. 

52. ClONO2 + HCl + H2O(s). Reaction probabilities of 0.27 (+0.73, –0.13) (Leu [232]) and 0.05 to 0.1 (Molina 

et al. [260]) were reported at 195 and 185 K, respectively. Abbatt and Molina [7] and Hanson and 

Ravishankara [157] report that a portion of the reaction may be due to HOCl + HCl → Cl2 + H2O, with HOCl 

formed from ClONO2 + H2O(s) → HOCl + HNO3(s). Hanson and Ravishankara [155] saw no enhancement 

of the ClONO2 reaction probability when H2O(s) is doped with HCl. Their preferred value at 192 K is γ = 

0.3, but this is consistent with γ = 1. Chu et al. [76] also report a value of 0.27 (±0.19) at 188 K, assuming no 

correction for porosity, but suggest the true value is 0.10 (±0.08). Using a Knudsen cell technique and 

looking at initial uptake, Oppliger et al. [272] measured γ = 0.7 at 180 K and 0.2 at 200 K with HCl in 

excess. Eliminating the Molina et al. points, which were taken at much higher ClONO2 concentrations than 

the others, plots of the remaining data show no obvious bias when plotted as a function of reactant 

concentration or temperature (180–200 K). Their average value γ = 0.26 ±0.06. The Oppliger et al. data were 

presented for two HCl concentrations, differing by a factor of three. All points from both HCl concentrations 

were included since all the data were generally consistent with previous measurements, although the higher 

HCl concentrations did tend to produce modestly higher uptake coefficients. Until a fuller model is available, 

a single temperature independent value with a moderate uncertainty due to surface porosity seems 

appropriate. 

53. ClONO2 + HCl + HNO3•3H2O. Measurements by Hanson and Ravishankara [155,158], Leu and co-workers 

in Moore et al. [262] and Leu et al. [234], and Abbatt and Molina [7] all report high γ values (>0.1) on NAT 

for temperatures between 192 and 202 K. Hanson and Ravishankara indicate that reaction probabilities on 

NAD are similar to those on NAT. The most recent NAT studies (Abbatt and Molina [7]) show a strong falloff with relative humidity from γ > 0.2 at 90% RH to 0.002 at 20% RH, indicating the necessity of sufficient 

water to solvate reactants. Within the limited measurements, data plots show no indication that the reaction 

probability of ClONO2 + HCl depends on HCl and ClONO2 gas phase concentrations or temperature between 

191 and 202 K. Averaged data yield is γ = 0.23 ±0.10. Carslaw and Peter [67] have published a model of this 

reaction and its dependence on HCl uptake. 

54. ClONO2 + HCl + H2SO4•nH2O(l). Early work by Tolbert et al. [332] and Hanson and Ravishankara [157] 

indicated that the presence of HCl had little effect on the reaction of ClONO2 with concentrated sulfuric acid 

(>65 wt.% H2SO4). Subsequent realization that HCl would be more soluble, and therefore a more potent 

reactant, in the colder, more dilute sulfuric acid aerosols characteristic of the polar stratosphere led to 

additional investigations by Hanson and Ravishankara [165], Zhang et al. [363], Elrod et al. [113] and 

Hanson [150]. All these measurements show a strong dependence of reactivity on HCl solubility, which in 

turn depends on water activity. The solubility of HCl in a wide range of sulfuric acid solutions has been 

experimentally determined by a range of techniques that agree well with current thermodynamic models. See 

Robinson et al. [294] for a review. Hanson and Lovejoy [153] measured a reacto-diffusive length, A , of only 

0.009±0.005 μm for 60 wt.% H2SO4 in an aerosol flow reactor. (See Hanson et al. [168] for a definition of 

A .) This is a factor of four lower than the value for the hydrolysis reaction of ClONO2 showing the 

significant enhancement of ClONO2 uptake due to HCl. 
5-29

The ClONO2 + HCl reaction on sulfuric acid has been modeled in Shi et al. [313] using the same 

phenomenological model for ClONO2 hydrolysis driven uptake by sulfuric acid. Since the effect of HCl on 

the ClONO2 uptake is to increase the ClONO2 pseudo-first-order reaction rate, the model of ClONO2 uptake 

(see note on ClONO2 uptake on sulfuric acid ) should include the pseudo first order reaction rate, kHCl. The 

formulation of kHCl is found in the Appendix in Shi et al. [313].. It is likely that the ClONO2 reaction with 

HCl, like the ClONO2 hydrolysis reaction, is acid catalyzed via protonated HClONO2

+

, where Cl+ is activated 

as in the case of HOCl + HCl. For the ClONO2 + HCl reaction, there is also a surface reaction (Hanson 

[150]). Hanson proposed that Γs is linearly proportional to water activity; however, the calculated value of γo

at 250 K and 60 wt% H2SO4 using his formulation is 0.02 (here γo~Γs), which is contradictory to his aerosol 

flow reactor result, which yielded γo=0.0079 (here γo~Γb) (Hanson and Lovejoy [153]). In the model 

presented in the Shi et al. appendix, it is assumed that that Γs is linearly proportional to Henry’s law constant 

of ClONO2, rather than the water activity. The temperature dependence of Γs is determined, based on two 

measured values of Γs at 203 K (Hanson, [150]) and 250 K (Hanson and Lovejoy, [153]). The model yields a 

value of γo~0.011 (here γo~Γs), which is close to the measured value. 

In the stratosphere, when the reaction rate of ClONO2 with HCl exceeds the flux of HCl to the particle 

surface, HCl is depleted. This, in turn, will depress the rate of both the ClONO2 and HOCl + HCl reactions, 

and increase the ClONO2 hydrolysis rate. Shi et al. [313] have proposed a model in which this effect is taken 

into account by including a factor FHCl (see Table A–3 in Shi et al.). The formulation of FHCl is based on 

scaling HCl reaction and accommodation fluxes. This flux correction is not exact (i.e. it does not rigorously 

calculate the HCl surface or bulk concentration) but provides a good approximation to the expected reduction 

in HCl + ClONO2/HOCl reactivity and, just as importantly, the effective increase in ClONO2 + H2O 

reactivity when pClONO2 > pHCl. This is particularly relevant during cold Cl activation events when HCl can be 

removed almost completely (i.e., see Jaegle et al. [194]). 

Using the same error analysis approach as in the note on N2O5 uptake by sulfuric acid, the error of using the 

model in the Appendix is about 40.0% (one sigma), with σm=39.8% and σd=4.0% 

55. ClONO2+HCl + H2SO4 • H2O(s) and H2SO4 • 4H2O(s). This reaction has been studied by Hanson and 

Ravishankara [162] and Zhang et al. [363]. The reaction probability is strongly dependent on the 

thermodynamic state of the SAT surface, which is controlled by the temperature and the water vapor partial 

pressure. At a water vapor pressure of 5.6 × 10–4 Torr the measured γ drops by over two orders of magnitude 

as the SAT surface temperature rises from 195 to 206 K. The results from the two groups are in qualitative 

agreement, but sample different H2O and HCl partial pressures. Zhang et al. have parameterized their data as 

a function of water partial pressure (at 195 K) and temperature (both at an HCl partial pressure of 4 to 

8 × 10–7 Torr) in the form log γ = a1 + a2 log x + a3 (log x)2

. For H2O partial pressure, a1 = 5.25, a2 = 1.91, 

and a3 = 0.0; for T(K), a1 = 175.74, a2 = –1.59, and a3 = 0.0035. Care must be taken in extrapolating either 

data set to lower HCl concentrations. Zhang et al. [367] measured no enhancement of ClONO2 uptake on 

sulfuric acid monohydrate at 195 K with (2–8) × 10–7 Torr of HCl present, implying γ < 1 × 10–4. 

56. ClONO2 + HCl + Al2O3(s). Molina et al. [259] used flow tube techniques to measure γ = 0.020 ±0.005 on 

α−alumina at 195–230 K with stratospheric (5 ppmV) water vapor levels. Measured γ was independent of T 

and was affected very little by 5 ppbv HNO3 vapor. The same γ was measured for a Pyrex surface, indicating 

the absorbed water and not the inorganic substrate hosted the reaction. 

57. ClONO2 + MX(s). Finlayson-Pitts and co-workers have shown that ClONO2 reacts with crystalline NaCl 

(Finlayson-Pitts et al. [122]) and NaBr (Berko et al. [52]) to produce Cl2 and BrCl, respectively. Timonen et 

al. [329] have measured the reaction rate for ClONO2 with dry and slightly wet (water vapor pressure 5 × 10–

5

 to 3 × 10–4 Torr) NaCl at temperatures of 225 and 296 K. Reaction probabilities were analyzed as 

γ = 4–7 × 10–3 and were independent of temperature and water vapor pressure within experimental error. The 

Cl2 yield on dry NaCl was 1.0 ±0.2. Caloz et al. [64] used a room temperature Knudsen cell technique to 

measure γ = 0.23 ±0.06 for NaCl(s) and γ = 0.35 ±0.06 for KBr(s). They argue that the surface corrections 

imposed by Timonen et al. were too large. Caloz et al. measured quantitative yields of Cl2 and BrCl products. 

58. ClONO2+HBr + H2O(s) and HNO3 • nH2O(s). This reaction was studied by Hanson and Ravishankara [159] 

on water ice and NAT near 200 K. A diffusion-limited reaction probability of >0.3 was observed. Allanic et 

al. [17] measured γ = 0.56 ± 0.11 at 200 K on water ice, observing Cl2 and Br2 to be formed in yields of 

100% and 66 to 80%, respectively, in the range 180 to 200 K. 

59. ClONO2 + HF + H2O(s) and HNO3 • nH2O(s). Hanson and Ravishankara [159] were not able to observe this 

reaction on water ice and NAT surfaces near 200 K. 
5-30

60. CFxCl(4-x) (x=0–3) and CF2Br2 + Al2O3(s). Robinson et al. [291] reported dissociative uptake of CF2Cl2 and 

CF2Br2 on α-alumina surfaces at 210 and 315 K. Reaction probabilities of about 1 × 10–3 at 210 K were 

measured by monitoring the amounts of surface species bonded to the Al2O3 substrate. A re-analysis 

(Robinson et al. [292]) lowered this value by about a factor of 50. Moderate surface dosage with water vapor 

did not quench the reaction. In addition, Dai et al. [95] and Robinson et al. [290] studied dissociative 

chemisorption of CF3Cl, CF2Cl2, CFCl3, and CCl4 on dehydroxylated γ-alumina powders. The obtained 

reactive uptake probabilities ranging from 0.4 × 10–5 for CFCl3 to 1.0 × 10–5 for CFCl3 over a temperature 

range of 120 to 300 K. HCl and halomethyl radicals were observed as desorption products. Loss of these 

products may point to somewhat higher γs, since they were measured by integrating halogen bound to Al2O3

substrates. 

61. BrO + H2O(s) and H2SO4 • nH2O(l) and NaCl(aq). Abbatt [3] used a coated flow tube technique to measure 

heterogeneous uptake on water ice, 60 and 70 wt % H2SO4 at 213 K, and 23 wt % aqueous NaCl at 253 K. 

He obtained γ(ice) = (1.0 ± 0.4) × 10–3, γ (60 wt % H2SO4) = (7 ± 2) × 10– 4, γ (70 wt % H2SO4) = (5 ± 2) × 

10– 4 and γ (23 wt % NaCl) < 3 × 10–3. He observed product Br2, indicating BrO self-reaction on both water 

ice and sulfuric acid solutions. Since reaction rate will depend on BrO concentrations, no recommendation is 

made for an atmospheric rate. 

62. HOBr + HCl(s). Abbatt [1] measured γ = 0.25 (+0.10/–0.05) for this reaction on ice at 228 K. The BrCl 

product was observed by mass spectrometry. No data on NAT surfaces are currently available. 

For the sulfuric acid reaction, Abbatt [2] measured γs of ~ 0.1 to 0.2 for [HCl] > 1 × 1012 cm–3 over 

68.8 wt. % H2SO4 at 228 K; yielding an estimated kII

HCl+HOBr = 1.4 × 105

 M–1 s–1 with a factor of 2 

uncertainty. Hanson and Ravishankara [166] also measured γ = 0.2 [+0.2, – 0.1] for 60 wt. % H2SO4 at 210 

K. However, both of these measurements were based on significant underestimation of the solubility of 

HOBr in the relevant sulfuric acid solutions. More recent measurements by Waschewsky and Abbatt [347] 

indicate that H for HOBr varies slightly with acidity between 60 to 70 wt.% H2SO4 and more strongly with 

temperature between 208 and 238 K. (For 59.7 wt.% H2SO4, H (M atm–1) = 1.2×106

 at 208 K and and 

2.2×105

 at 228 K.) The HOBr + HCl second order liquid phase rate constant, kII

HCl+HOBr, varies between 

2×105

 and 

3×108

 (M–1s

–1) between 213 and 238 K over the same composition range (60–70 wt.% H2SO4). Such a strong 

dependence on acid composition for the reaction rate of HOBr + HCl and the very small acid composition 

dependence for HOBr solubility in H2SO4 solution might be partially due to the formation of H2OBr+

 in the 

acidic solution as discussed in their paper. However, this acid catalyzed reaction, i.e. H2OBr+

 + HCl, alone 

does not completely account for measured reaction rates over the acid composition range studied. 

Using the Henry’s Law data for HOBr reported by Waschewsky and Abbatt [347], the limiting reagent will 

vary depending on atmospheric temperature (H2SO4 wt.%) and the concentrations of HOBr and HCl. For 

stratospheric conditions where [HOBr] is 10 pptv and [HCl] 1ppbv, they predict dissolved HOBr will be in 

excess above 204 K and HCl in excess below 204 K for a H2O vapor partial pressure of 3×10–7 atm. From 

their coated wall flow reactor uptake measurements, Waschewsky and Abbatt [347] derived expressions for 

kII

HCl+HOBr and predicted uptake coefficients. For temperature between 204 and 218 K where HOBr is likely 

to be in excess, they calculated HCl uptake coefficients, γHCl, which range between 7×10–5 and 9×10–5. For 

temperatures in the 202–198 K range, where dissolved HCl is likely to be excess, the calculated uptake 

coefficients for HOBr, γHOBr, of ∼1×10–2. Clearly, the HOBr + HCl reaction will be difficult to parameterize 

in a simple manner. Potential inconsistencies in their kII

HCl+HOBr values, as discussed by Waschewsky and 

Abbatt, indicate that further measurements will be required before this reaction can be definitively modeled. 

63. HOBr + HBr + H2O(s) and H2SO4 • nH2O. Abbatt [1] measured γ = 0.12 ± (0.03) on ice at 228 K. The Br2

product was observed by mass spectrometry. Abbatt [2] measured γ = 0.25 for [HBr] = 1 × 1012 cm–3 over 

68.8 wt % H2SO4 at 228 K; yielding an estimated kII > 5 × 104

 M–1 s–1. 

64. BrONO2 + H2O(s). Hanson and Ravishankara [160] investigated these reactions in an ice-coated flow reactor 

at 200 (± 10) K. The reaction of BrONO2 with H2O(s) proceeded at a rate indistinguishable from the gas 

phase diffusion limit, implying that the reaction probability may be as high as one; the product BrNO(g) was 

observed. Allanic et al [16] used a Knudsen cell reactor to measure BrONO2 uptake between 190–200 K. 

Values of initial γs in the 0.2–0.3 range were observed. An average γ = 0.26 ± 0.05 was obtained from all of 

the appropriate data from both experiments. 

65. BrONO2 + H2SO4•nH2O(l). Hanson and co-workers used both coated flow tube and aerosol flow tube 

techniques to show that the reaction of BrONO2 with 45–70 wt. % H2SO4 is extremely facile at temperatures 
5-31

from 210 to 298 K. Hanson and Ravishankara [166] measured γs of 0.5 (+0.5, –0.25) (45 wt. % H2SO4, 

210 K, 0.4 (+0.6, –0.2) (60 wt. %, 210 K) , and 0.3 (+0.7, –0.1) (70 wt. %, 220 K) in a coated-wall flow tube 

experiment. Hanson et al. [167] measured γ ~ 0.8 (20 to 40% error) for submicron aerosols at temperatures 

between 249 and 298 K and H2SO4 concentrations of 45 to 70 wt. %; they did observe a sharp fall off in γ for 

H2SO4 concentrations between 73 and 83 wt. %. Hanson has analyzed these combined data sets, the data 

indicated that γ is a function of sulfuric acid concentration, but independent of temperature. He has fit an 

empirical expression for γ for BrONO2 + H2O of: γ = exp(a+b*wt.)+c [Hanson, priv. comm.]. The data have 

been fitted to the formulation 1/γ=1/α+1/γrxn, yielding α=0.805, and a=29.24, b=–0.396, c=0.114. Additional 

unpublished measurements using both techniques at higher temperatures performed by Hanson [priv. comm.] 

also fit this functional form. Using the same approach as detailed in the note for N2O5 uptake on sulfuric acid, 

the error for BrONO2+ H2O is 27.3% (one sigma), with σm=26.6% and σd=6.3%. 

66. CF3OH + H2O + H2O(l) and H2SO4 • nH2O(l). Lovejoy et al. [245] used both wetted-wall and aerosol flow 

tube techniques to measure reactive uptake of CF3OH on water at 274 K and 39–60 wt % H2SO4 at various 

temperatures between 206 and 250 K. γ’s showed a strong dependence on water activity. Aerosol uptake 

studies yielded reacto-diffusive lengths of > 0.4 μm for 40 wt % H2SO4 and 1.0 μm for 50 wt % H2SO4, both 

at 250 K. Recommended γ’s were estimated by averaging bulk uptake measurements at similar H2SO4

concentrations and ignoring temperature effects on water activity. 

67. SO2 + H2O2, O3, HONO, NO2, HNO3 on H2SO4 • nH2

O(l). Rattigan et al. [282] used a bubble train reactor to 

measure the uptake of SO2 in the presence of solvated oxidants at 293 K. For H2O2 the second order rate 

constant at 1 wt. % H2SO4 agreed well with previous bulk kinetics measurements and with previous droplet 

train/flow reactor measurements. Measurements at 20, 40, and 60 wt. % H2SO4 are the first reported for 

concentrated acid. Reaction rate data were fit to a two term (acid catalyzed and water catalyzed) bulk second 

order rate expression, which, in the limit of high acid activity ( aH

+

 = αH+[H+], where αH+ isthe H+ activity 

coefficient) reduces to: kII

 H2O2= 8.3 × 104

 (αH2O/ aH

+

), where α H2O is the water activity coefficient. Both αH+

and αH2O can be obtained from the sulfuric acid thermodynamic model of Carslaw et al. [66]. The high aH

+

approximation for kII

 H2O2 should be accurate to a factor of two between 40 and 70 wt %. 

Uptake of SO2 in the presence of solvated O3 was measured for 1–70 wt. % acid; the Henry’s law expression 

for O3 was determined in separate experiments. Measured second order rates agree reasonably well with 

previous results measured below 18 wt. %. A three term fit for reaction with SO2(aq), HSO3

–

, and SO4

=

 was 

fit to the data: kii

O3 = 6.6 × 103

 [SO2(aq)] + 3.2 × 105 [HSO3

–

] + 1 × 109 [SO4

=

]. This expression should be 

accurate to a factor of two between 20 and 70 wt. %. 

The HONO reaction was studied by adding nitrosyl sulfuric acid to 20, 40, 60, and 70 wt. % acid. Measured 

second order rate constants were moderately consistent with previous measurements below 10 wt. %. A 

kii

HONO = 142[H+

] was fit to the full data set; it should be accurate to a factor of two for acid concentrations 

between 10 and 70 wt. %. 

No enhanced SO2 uptake was observed with added gas phase NO, NO2, or with 20 wt. % HNO3 added to 

50–60 wt. % sulfuric acid. 

68. SO3 on H2SO4 • nH2O(l). Jayne et al. [199] measured the uptake coefficient in a wetted wall-flow reactor at 

300 K over a composition range of 78–92 H2SO4 wt. %. The measured γ was indistinguishable from 1.0. 

Higher water concentrations and lower temperatures probably tend to increase γ, so a value near 1.0 probably 

holds for all atmospheric conditions.

5.15 Notes to Table 5-3 

1. See also the sections on soot under “Surface Types” and “Parameter Definitions” for a description of some of 

the factors affecting the uptake and reaction of gases on soot surfaces. In most cases, the available reactive 

surface area rather than the geometric areas have been used in obtaining the uptake coefficients; in those 

cases where the geometric area was used but a higher available surface area was involved in the measured 

uptake, the uptake coefficient is given as an upper limit. Most data are available at room temperature or there 

are very limited data at lower temperatures characteristic of the upper troposphere. 

2. SO2 + soot. γ < 3 × 10–3 measured using Degussa FW2 carbon black by Rogaski et al. [295]. This is an upper 

limit since it is based on the geometric surface area. Koehler et al. [226] measured an average value of 

(2 ±1) × 10–3 over the first 10–30 s on n-hexane soot at –100° C (the initial uptake may be larger), but 

indicate that taking into account surface roughness would reduce this value. A number of studies 

[25,77,78,90,226,238,295] suggest that uptake is primarily due to physisorption on the surface; oxidation 

occurs in the presence of water, oxidants and metals. 

3. NH3 + soot. Chughtai et al. [77] and Muenter and Koehler [267] measured the uptake of NH3 on soot. Based 

on Muenter and Koehler [267] where conditions are closest to atmospheric, NH3 is not taken up by soot 

particles at temperatures above 173 K. 

4. O3 + soot. Many studies report a rapid, initial loss of O3 followed by a slower loss that also occurs on aged 

soot or soot pre-exposed to ozone [81,87,104,115,117,187,210,244,295,316,319,323]. Initial, rapid O3 loss 

may be most applicable for soot as it comes out of aircraft exhaust, with γ

init ~ 10–3 from most studies using 

both carbon black and organic combustion soots [115,117,187,295,323]. The second stage of the reaction is 

probably more applicable to soot dispersed in air; γ

aged ~ 10–4–10–6 using both carbon black and organic 

combustion soots [115,117,187,210,244,278,323], but in the range of 10–4 to 10–5 based on organic 

combustion soot data alone [187,244]. A few studies have been carried out at temperatures below room 

temperature [81,187,210,244]; given the wide ranges measured even at room temperature, these values 

generally fall in the same range. Il’in et al. [187] report a temperature dependence for the initial uptake on 

fresh soot of γ

fresh = 1.9 × 10–3(exp–780/T) and for aged soots, γaged = 1.8×10–4(exp–1000/T). Both 

physisorption and reaction of ozone with the surface appear to take place. The studies of Fendel et al. [115] 

suggest that lower particle growth in size below 40 ppb O3 is due to less than a monolayer of O3 on the 

surface. Stephens et al. [323] proposed a Langmuir-type reversible adsorption of O3, followed by a slower 

reaction with the surface. Pöschl et al. [278] proposed a similar scheme for uptake of ozone on sparkgenerated graphite soot coated with benzo[a]pyrene. Initial reversible physisorption occurred with γ ~ 10–3, 

and “apparent reaction probabilities” for O3 with BaP on soot of γ ~ 10–5–10–6 were reported. The presence of 

water inhibited the reaction, which was postulated to be due to competitive adsorption between water and 

ozone on the surface; this is in contrast to the report of Chughtai et al. [82] in which the rate of ozone loss 

increased with RH. Pöschl et al. [278] report Langmuir adsorption equilibrium constants for O3 and H2O, and 

a second order surface reaction rate constant for the O3-BaP reaction of (2.6 ± 0.8) × 10–17 cm–2 s–1. Three 

possible paths have been proposed: (1) chemisorption of O3; (2) catalytic decomposition of O3: 2O3 → 3O2; 

(3) surface oxidation and formation of gas-phase carbon oxides. The studies of Fendel et al. [116] suggest 

that lower particle growth in size below 40 ppb O3 is due to less than a monolayer of O3. Studies of Smith et 
5-33

al. [319] and Smith and Chughtai [316] suggest that catalytic decomposition occurs to some extent over the 

entire reaction sequence. CO2 and H2O are the major gas phase and surface oxidized functional groups on the 

surface such as carboxylic acids are observed [82-84,104,115,210,252,316-318,323]. 

5. HNO3 + soot. Studies of the uptake of HNO3 on soot have been carried out over a range of nitric acid 

pressures [70,92,103,220,244,295,297,304,305]. Measured values of γ at room temperature are typically in 

the range 10–1–10–5, with smaller uptake coefficients measured at longer reaction times. Saatthoff et al. [304] 

report an upper limit of 3 × 10–7 as a time-averaged value over two days. At lower concentrations 

characteristic of the atmosphere, uptake appears to be primarily due to physisorption while at higher 

concentrations, > 2 × 1012 molecule cm–3, a surface reaction occurs. At 220 K, γ ~ 0.1 with irreversible 

uptake attributed to reaction with surface groups [70]. Reaction of HNO3 at concentrations from (1–9) × 1012

molecule cm–3 with “grey” soot from a rich flame using hexane has been reported [305] to generate HONO 

as the major gaseous product with initial and steady-state reaction probabilities of γo = 4.6 × 10–3 and 

γss = 5.2 × 10–4 respectively; reaction with “black” soot from a lean flame gave NO as the major gaseous 

product, with initial and steady-state reaction probabilities of γo = 2.0 × 10–2 and γss = 4.6 × 10–3 respectively 

(based on geometric surface area of sample holder). The NO was hypothesized to result from secondary 

reactions of an initial HONO product. 

6. N2O5 + soot. Brouwer et al. [58], Longfellow et al. [244] and Saathoff et al. [304]studied the uptake of N2O5

at room temperature on a ground charcoal (carbon black) sample, on propane soot and on spark-generated 

graphite soot, respectively. Brouwer et al. and Longfellow et al. report uptake coefficients based on the 

geometric sample surface area, and therefore give upper limits. An upper limit of γ < 0.02 can be derived 

based on the larger value of 0.016 reported by Longfellow et al. As discussed below, much smaller values are 

reported by Saathoff et al.: 4 × 10–5 under dry conditions and 2 × 10–4 at 50% RH. Three possible reactions 

may occur: (1) Decomposition of N2O5 on the surface to generate NO2 + NO3; (2) reaction of N2O5 with the 

soot; (3) hydrolysis of N2O5 with water on the surface to generate HNO3. The studies of Longfellow et al. 

support the decomposition reaction, with yields of NO2 within experimental error of 100%; the generation of 

NO3 on the surface followed by its decomposition to NO2, may contribute to the observed production of NO2. 

The studies of Brouwer et al. suggest that a redox reaction with the soot surface to generate NO occurs in 

parallel with hydrolysis of N2O5 to generate HNO3. Saathoff et al. propose two independent, parallel 

reactions: (1) hydrolysis generating HNO3, N2O5 + soot → 2 HNO3 with γ = (4 ± 2) × 10–5 under dry 

conditions (< 10 ppm H2O) which increases to (2 ± 1) × 10–4 at 50% RH. (2) decomposition to NO and NO2: 

N2O5 + soot → NO + NO2 + products, with γ = (4 ± 2) × 10–6 under dry conditions. 

7. NO2 + soot. A fast initial uptake of NO2 is observed on fresh soots 

[13,14,21,77,80,85,86,134,205,220,243,295,321,325,326] with the initial uptake coefficient in studies 

involving both carbon blacks and organic combustion soots in the range of γ

init ≅ 10–1 to 10–4. For longer 

reaction times on carbon black soots, γ

aged ~ 10–4 based on studies by Kalberer et al. [206] and Ammann et al. 

[21,22]. However, Kleffmann et al. [223] report a lower uptake coefficient of ~ 10–7 on carbon black over the 

first 5 minutes of reaction and and Saathoff et al. [304] report an upper limit of < 4 × 10–8 averaged over 

5 days under dry conditions (< 10 ppm H2O) on spark-generated graphite. On organic combustion soots, γ

aged

has been reported to be in the range of ~ 10–4–10–6 [13,22,23,243,321][305]. All studies were done at room 

temperature except those of Longfellow et al. [243] which were carried out at 262 K. The surface deactivates 

on continued exposure to NO2, suggesting a maximum amount of HONO that can be formed per cm2

 of soot 

area or mg of soot; this has been reported to be in the range of 1016 to 1018 HONO per mg of soot 

[23,134,204,205,223,321]. However, reactivation on heating of the surface, exposure to water vapor and/or 

with time after the exposure is stopped has been observed [134,243,321,325,326]. A small portion (~10-

20%) of the NO2 taken up appears to be chemisorbed to the surface 

[13,23,80,204,205,220,223,321,325,326]. Infrared studies [13,220,318] show that surface C–ONO, C–N–

NO2, and C–NO2 groups are formed. The remainder of NO2 reacted appears as gaseous HONO and NO; 

Salgado and Rossi [305] report HONO as the major product for hexane soot from a flame at near 

stoichiometric ratio but NO as the major product for soot from an extremely lean flame. In addition, N2O, 

CO, and CO2 have been observed as products at higher temperatures [34,35]. At lower NO2 concentrations, 

the HONO yield can approach 100%; production of NO may be due to the bimolecular reaction of HONO on 

the surface at higher concentrations to give 

NO + NO2 + H2O. The HONO yield at 262 K appears to be smaller than at room temperature [243]. 

Formation of HONO is due to reaction with a reduced surface site and not to NO2 surface-catalyzed 

hydrolysis. The formation of HONO from the reaction of NO2 with unspecified semi-volatile organics in 
5-34

diesel exhaust has been reported [143] and proposed to be a much larger source of HONO than the reaction 

with the soot itself. 

8. NO3 + soot. Saathoff et al. [304] report an upper limit of γ < 3 × 10–4 on dry soot (< 10 ppm H2O) and < 10–3

at 50% RH based on measurements of NO3 and N2O5. 

9. HO2 + soot. Saathoff et al. [304] report an upper limit of γ < 10–2 on dry soot (<10 ppm H2O) based on the 

decay of HO2NO2 (in equilibrium with HO2 and NO2) in the presence and absence of soot. 

10. HO2NO2 + soot. Saathoff et al. [304] report an upper limit of γ < 10–5 on dry soot (<10 ppm H2O) based on 

the decay of HO2NO2 in the presence and absence of soot. 

11. H2O + soot. Alcala–Jornod et al. [14] report an upper limit to the initial uptake coefficient of γ < 2 × 10–3, 

consistent with the earlier measurements of Rogaski et al. [295]. The uptake is most likely a reversible 

physisorption [14,277] although based on water uptake isotherms, Chughtai et al. [77,79,84,87] propose that 

at low relative humidities (< 25%) chemisorption occurs. While prior exposure of Degussa FW-2 to NO2 and 

SO2 was not found to increase the uptake coefficient for water, treatment with HNO3 increased the measured 

uptake coefficient by a factor of 28 and with H2SO4 by a factor of 68 [295]. Water adsorption isotherms on 

soot have been measured in a number of studies, e.g. [77,79,82,84,87] and the amount of water taken up 

found to increase with the air/fuel ratio used to generate the soot, with the sulfur content, with aging and 

oxidation of the surface (e.g. by O3) and with the presence of metals [77,79,82,84,87,350].

5.17 Notes to Table 5-4 

Many of the data sets required various transformations to convert them to the units (mol L–1 atm–1) and 

form (solubility instead of volatility) used in this Table. The transformations often involve either the mass or molar 

density of water, which in all cases was taken from [231]. 

1. O2. The recommendation was taken from the studies of Benson [51] and Rettich [285]. The data show clear 

curvature in a plot of ln (Kh) v. 1/T. A two parameter fit gives A = –13.26 and B = 1950 K for the 

temperature range 273–285 K. 

2. O3. The recommendation of Rischbieter [288] was accepted and refitted. 

3. HO2. The recommendation was based on a calculation by Schwartz [307]. Thermodynamic values were 

updated to those in our Thermodynamic tables. 

4. H2O2. The data of Lind and Kok [239,240], Hwang and Dasgupta [186], Yoshizumi et al. [361], and 

O’Sullivan et al. [273] are all in good agreement. The recommendation is from a two-parameter fit to all the 

results. 

5. N2. The recommendation of Battino [34] was accepted and refitted to three-parameter equations. A two 

parameter fit gives A = 12.81 and B = 1625 K for the temperature range 273–293 K. 

6. NH3. Based on the recommendation by Edwards et al. [111], refit to a two-parameter equation. Over the 

temperature range 273–348 K, there appears to be little curvature in the data. The more recent work of 

Dasgupta and Dong [96] are in quite good agreement with this recommendation, whereas the results of Hales 

and Drewes [144] are somewhat higher and those of Shi and Davidovits [312] (an uptake study) are 

significantly lower. The Hales and Drewes paper also included studies of the effect of dissolved CO2 on the 

solubility of NH3. The solubility of NH3 in solutions containing a wide variety of ions is discussed by Clegg 

and Brimblecombe [89]. 

7. NO. Three-parameter refit from the recommendation of Battino [32]. Two-parameter fit gives A = –12.27 

and B = 1790 K for the temperature range 273–293 K. 

8. NO2. From analysis of studies of reactive dissolution of NO2 by Schwartz and White [309]. 

9. N2O. Three-parameter refit to the recommendation of Battino [31]. Two parameter fit gives A = 13.40 and 

B = 2880 K for the temperature range 273–293 K. 
5-37

10. CO. The recommendation is based on smoothed data from Rettich et al. [284] and refit to three-parameter 

equation. A two parameter fit gives A = –12.72 and B = 1720 K for the temperature range 273–293 K. 

11. CO2. Refit to three- parameter equation from the recommendation of Wilhelm et al. [352]. Two parameter fit 

gives A = 12.49 and B = 2710 K for the temperature range 273–293 K. 

12. CH4. The recommendation is a three-parameter fit to the smoothed recommendation of Battino [41]. There is 

very good agreement with the more recent data of Ben-Naim and Battino [50]. A two parameter fit gives 

A = –13.45 and B = 2040 K for the temperature range 273–293 K. 

13. C2H6. The recommendation is a three-parameter fit to the smoothed recommendation of Battino [33]. There is 

very good agreement with the more recent data of Ben-Naim and Battino [50]. Two parameter fit gives 

A = –15.95 and B = 2875 K for the temperature range 273–293 K. 

14. C3H8. The recommendation is from a three-parameter fit to the smoothed recommendation of [40]. There is 

very good agreement with the more recent data of Ben-Naim and Battino [50]. A two parameter fit gives 

A = 17.52 and B = 3275 K for the temperature range 273–293 K. 

15. n-C4H10. The recommendation is from a three-parameter fit to the smoothed recommendation of Battino [39]. 

There is very good agreement with the more recent data of Ben-Naim and Battino [50]. A two parameter fit 

gives A = –19.28 and B = 3740 K for the temperature range 273–288 K. 

16. CH3CH(CH3)CH3. The recommendation is from a three-parameter fit to the smoothed recommendation of 

Battino [38]. A two parameter fit gives A = 18.22 and B = 3340 K for the temperature range 278–293 K. 

17. C2H4. The recommendation is from a three-parameter fit to the smoothed recommendation of Wilhelm [352]. 

A two parameter fit gives A = –12.40 and B = 2170 K for the temperature range 288–313 K. 

18. C2H2. The recommendation is from a three-parameter fit to the smoothed recommendation of Wilhelm [352]. 

The recommendation of Yaws et al. [360] generates identical results. A two parameter fit gives A = –10.12 

and B = 2065 K for the temperature range 273–298 K. 

19. CH3OH. The recommendation is based on the two data points of Snider and Dawson [320]. The 298 K result 

of Butler et al. [62] and a calculation based on the NBS Thermodynamic tables, [345], are in very good 

agreement. The 298 K result of Altschuh et al. [20] is about 40% lower. 

20. C2H5OH. The recommendation is based on the two data points of Snider and Dawson [320]. The 298 K 

results of [62] and [296], and a calculation based on the NBS Thermodynamic tables, [345], are in very good 

agreement. The 298 K result of Altschuh [20] is about 50% lower. 

21. All of the recommendations for the C3–C4 alcohols are based on two data points each from Snider and 

Dawson [320]. Room temperature data from other studies ([61],[62], and [20]) typically support these results. 

22. CH3OOH. The data of Lind and Kok [239,240] and O’Sullivan et al. [273] are in excellent agreement and 

were fit to a two-parameter expression. 

23. HOCH2OOH. The results of O’Sullivan [273] and Staffelback and Kok [322] are very close and were fit to 

obtain the recommended values. The results of Zhou and Lee [371] are much lower and were not included. 

24. HCHO. The recommended value is the apparent Henry’s law constant and includes a contribution due to 

hydrolysis H*

 = H(1 + Khyd). Data from Betterton and Hoffmann [54] and Zhou and Mopper [372] are in 

substantial agreement and were fit to a two-parameter expression. Betterton and Hoffmann have calculated 

KH = 2.5 M atm–1 at 298 K for the physical solubility. 

25. CH3CHO. The recommended value is the apparent Henry’s law constant and includes a contribution due to 

hydrolysis H*

 = H(1 + Khyd). The results of Snider and Dawson [320], Benkelberg et al. [49], and Betterton 

and Hoffmann [54] are in excellent agreement and have been fit to a two-parameter expression for the 

recommendation. The results of Zhou and Mopper [372] curve off at higher temperatures and were not 

included in the fit. (Note the similar situation for acetone.) Betterton and Hoffmann have calculated 

KH = 4.8 M atm–1 at 298 K for the physical solubility. 

26. C2H5CHO. Results of Zhou and Mopper [372] and Snider and Dawson [320] agree only to within about a 

factor of two. The two points from the former were weighted by 3 and combined with the five points of the 

latter to generate the recommendation. 

27. C3H7CHO. The only results are from Zhou and Mopper [372], which have been fit to a two-parameter 

expression. 
5-38

28. CH3COCH3. The recommendation is from a fit to the data of Snider and Dawson [320] and Benkelberg et al. 

[49]. Room temperature data points of Hoff et al. [176], Burnett [61] and Vitenberg et al. [340] are in very 

good agreement. Results of Zhou and Mopper [372] are somewhat higher, particularly at room temperature 

and above. The situation is similar for acetaldehyde. 

29. C2H5COCH3. The recommendation is from the two points of Snider and Dawson [320]. The room 

temperature points of Vitenberg et al. [340] and Rohrschneider [296] are in good agreement. The higher 

temperature data of Zhou and Mopper [372] are somewhat higher and the those of Friant and Suffet [128] are 

lower than the recommendation. 

30. HC(O)OH. The results of Johnson et al. [203] are accepted. The 298 K result of Khan et al. [219] are about 

75% lower. Bob, did you consider the results of Servant et al. (quoted in 97-4)? 

31. CH3C(O)OH. The results of Johnson et al. [203] are accepted. A value calculated from the NBS 

Thermodynamic tables [345] is about a factor of two higher. Bob, did you consider the results of Servant et 

al. (quoted in 97-4)? 

32. CH3CN. The values reported by Benkelberg [49], Snider and Dawson [320], Hamm et al. [146] are all in 

good agreement and have been fit to a two-parameter expression for the recommendation. The Hamm et al. 

paper includes a measurement with artificial seawater at 293 K. 

33. Nitroalkanes (CH3NO2, C2H5NO2, C3H7NO2, and CH3CH(NO2)CH3). The recommended values are all taken 

from the work of Benes and Dohnal [47]. For nitromethane, the 298 K value from Rohrschneider [296] is 

about 30% higher. 

34. Alkyl nitrates (CH3ONO2, C2H5ONO2, 1-C3H7ONO2, 2-C3H7ONO2, 1-C4H9ONO2, 2-C4H9ONO2). The 

recommended values are all taken from the work of Kames and Schurath [208]. The results of Luke et al. 

[247] are in very good agreement for 1-butyl and 2- butyl nitrates, but the values reported by Hauff [170] for 

1- and 2-propyl and butyl nitrates by head-space chromatography are significantly (∼50%) lower. 

35. CH3C(O)O2NO2. The results of Kames and Schurath [208] and Frenzel et al. [127] are close, but somewhat 

higher (~60%) than the single temperature point of Holdren et al. [178]. The recommendation is a fit to the 

data of Kames and Schurath, and Frenzel et al. Frenzel et al., Kames and Schurath, and Holdren et al. also 

measured hydrolysis rate constants and Kames and Schurath measured solubility in artificial sea water. 

36. Bifunctional alkyl nitrates. The recommended values (at 293 K) are taken from the work of Kames and 

Schurath [207]. 

37. Cl2. Three-parameter refit to the recommendation of Battino [36]. Two parameter fit gives A = 9.38 and 

B = 2090 K for the temperature range 283–313 K. 

38. Cl2O. Fit to recommendation of Wilhelm et al. [351]. Data appear somewhat uncertain. 

39. ClO2. Two-parameter fit to the recommendation of Battino [35]. 

40. HOCl. Huthwelker et al. [185] analyzed the limited data for pure water from Blatchley et al. [55] and 

Holzwarth et al. [179] along with the more extensive data for uptake by sulfuric acid from Hanson and 

Ravishankara [164], along with thermodynamic information, and obtained a consistent expression for the 

solubility of HOCl. 

41. Br2. The results of Kelley and Tartar [213] and Jenkins and King [202] agree well below about 313 K, and 

with the 298 K point of Hill et al. [175]. Recommendation based on a two-parameter fit to all data at and 

below 308 K. 

42. BrCl. The recommendation is from the work of Barlett and Margerum [29]. 

43. SO2. Two- and three-parameter fits to the recommendation of Battino [37]. The earlier recommendation of 

Edwards et al. [111] is slightly lower. 

44. H2S. In the recommendation of Fogg [125], two expressions were given, representing the results above and 

below 283 K. The predicted values from these expressions were calculated, with the points at 283 K 

averaged, converted to the desired units, and then fit with the two- and three-parameter expressions. These 

are the recommended values. More recent results of Rinker and Sandall [287] and Munder et al. [268] are 

slightly lower; in these studies, the physical solubility of H2S was determined through measurements 

involving aqueous solutions of glycols or amines, neutralized with HCl. The reported values of De Bruyn et 

al. [101] are significantly (~30%) lower. The earlier recommendation of Edwards et al. [111] is very close to 
5-39

the recommendation of Fogg [125] as is the recommendation of Yaws et al. [360]. The room temperature 

point calculated from the NBS Thermodynamic tables Wagman et al. [345] is also slightly lower. The work 

of De Bruyn et al. [101] covered also a wide range of NaCl and (NH4)2SO4 concentration and of pH. 

45. CS2. The recommendation is from a fit to data of Elliott [112], who also present data in 0.5 mol L–1 NaCl. 

The results of De Bruyn et al. [101] are significantly (50%) lower. The work of DeBruyn et al. covered also a 

wide range of NaCl and (NH4)2SO4 concentration and of pH. 

46. COS. The reviews by Wilhelm et al. [352] and Yaws et al. [360] result in identical results over the low 

temperature range (<303 K) and are combined to generate the recommendation. The results of De Bruyn et 

al. [101] are somewhat (~25%) lower at the lower temperature range. The work of De Bruyn et al. covered 

also a wide range of NaCl and (NH4)2SO4 concentration and of pH. 

47. CH3SH. The recommendation is based on the data of Przyjazny et al. [279]. Results of De Bruyn et al. [101] 

are about half the recommended value at 298 K. Similar low values were observed for other compounds in 

the work of De Bruyn et al. The work of De Bruyn et al. covered a wide range of pH and NaCl and 

(NH4)2SO4 concentrations. 

48. C2H5SH. The recommendation is based on the data of Przyjazny et al. [279]. The results of Vitenberg [340] 

are slightly lower than the extrapolated value at 293 K. 

49. CH3SCH3. The recommendation is based on the values of Dacey et al. [93]. The single temperature point of 

Wong and Wang [357] and the higher temperature results of Przyjazny et al. [279] are in good agreement. 

The results of De Bruyn et al. [101] are about 30% lower. The studies of Dacey et al. [93] and Wong and 

Wang [357] were also carried out with seawater. The work of De Bruyn et al. [101] covered also a wide 

range of NaCl and (NH4)2SO4 concentration and of pH. 

50. CH3S(O)CH3. The recommendation is from Watts and Brimblecombe [349], cited by Allen et al. [19].

5.19 Notes to Table 5-5 

1. O3 in H2SO4 • nH2

O(l)—Bubble train uptake measurements where performed by Rattigan et al. [282] at 293 K 

for 1–70 wt. % H2SO4. Recommended expression is a Setchenow coefficient formulation where 

Ho = 0.012 M atm–1 is the 293 K value of H for pure water fom Wilhelm et al. [351]. In the measurement, 

account was taken of the loss of O3 due to reaction with H+

. 

2. NO2 in H2SO4 • nH2

O(l)—Langenberg et al. [229] present novel capillary gas chromatography measurements 

for 39, 59, and 68 wt. % H2SO4 over the temperature range of 203 to 243 K. However, NO2 solubility must be 

derived fromchromatographic waveforms which are contorted by much higher N2O4 solubility. The resulting 

values for HNO2 are in the 1 to 102

range, but show inconsistent trends with temperature and concentration, 

indicating possibly large systematic error. 

3. HONO in H2SO4• nH2

O(l)—Becker et al. [42] measured HONO partial pressue, PHONO, over bulk solutions in 

a temperature range of 248–298 K and a H2SO4 concentration range of 0–67 wt. %. Longfellow et al. [242] 

measured PHONO in a wetted wall flow reactor over a temperature range of 218–295 K and an acid 

concentration range of 60–83 wt. %. Agreement between these two data sets is excellent. H* decreases from 
5-41

0 wt. % to 53 wt. % due to physical solubility, then increases above 53 wt. % due to protonation and/or 

association with H2SO4 to make nitrosyl sulfuric acid. Becker et al. parameterize their data as a function of 

sulfuric acid wt. % and temperature. However, the Becker et al. parameterization is not able to fit the 

combined sets of Becker et al. [42] and Longfellow et al. [242] data, particularly at the lower temperatures 

and higher wt. % most relevant to the stratosphere. Therefore, the recommended functional form was used to 

fit the data for >60 wt. %. This function fits both sets of data very well It is important to note that this 

function is only valid for H2SO4 concentrations near 60 wt% and above. The parameterization in Becker et al. 

[42] should be used to calculate H for H2SO4 concentrations <60 wt %. (Note that the units for H are mol/kgbar in Becker et al. [42]. The density parameterization of Myhre et al. [269] was used to convert to M/atm 

units.) 

4. HNO3 and HCl in H2SO4 • nH2O(l) and H2SO4 • nHNO3 • mH2O(l)—Effective Henry’'s law coefficients, H*

, 

for HNO3, and HCl in binary H2SO4/H2O and ternary H2SO4/HNO3/H2O solutions over the temperature range 

195 to 300 K are required to model the composition and heterogeneous chemistry of stratospheric and upper 

tropospheric aerosols. Solubility data can be obtained from analysis of heterogeneous uptake experiments 

with the liquid phase diffusion coefficient estimated from acid solution viscosity (Williams and Long [355]) 

Solubilities can also be obtained from equilibrium or from vapor pressure data. 

Experimental solubility data for HNO3 is provided by Van Doren et al. [338], Reihs et al. [283] and Zhang et 

al. [370]. Data for HCl solubility is provided by Watson et al. [348], Hanson and Ravishankara [158,161], 

Zhang et al. [370], Williams and Golden [353], Abbatt [2], Elrod et al.[113] and Robinson et al. [294]. 

These studies all show that trace species solubility in H2SO4/H2O and H2SO4/HNO3/H2O solutions is a strong 

function of water activity, which, in turn, depends on both temperature and acid concentrations. Prediction of 

HNO3 and HCl H*

 values for atmospheric compositions requires a sophisticated model. Comprehensive 

thermodynamic models of acid solutions for a range of atmospheric conditions have been published by 

Carslaw et al. [66], Tabazadeh et al. [324] and Luo et al. [248] and reviewed by Carslaw and Peter [68]. 

These models do an excellent job of reproducing the available experimental data, even for ternary 

H2SO4/HNO3/H2O solutions (Elrod et al. [113]). These models and the Carslaw review should be consulted 

for plots/predictions of H*

 for HNO3 and HCl in strong acid solutions over the atmospheric temperature 

range. The most widely used model of Carslaw et al. [66] was revised in Massucci et al. [251]. 

5. HO2NO2 in H2SO4 • nH2O(l)—Zhang et al. [369] performed wetted wall flow reactor studies using CIMS to 

detect HO2NO2 uptake over a temperature range of 201–230 K and an acid concentration range of 

52.9–74 wt. % H2SO4. HDl

1/2 values where determined for 52.9, 58.3/59.1, 66.4 and 73.8/74 wt. %, with 5 to 

15 data points per temperature or temperature pair. All uptake appeared to be reversible with the variation in 

H strongly temperature dependent, but only moderately dependent on H2SO4 wt. %. Dl values were 

calculated from a cubic cell model to derive H. Uncertainties in measured H values were estimated by 

authors to be 25% for H <1 × 106

 M atm–1 and 50% for H >1 × 106 M atm–1. These data were parameterized 

by Leu and Zhang [236] in the Setchenow coefficient form adopted by Huthwelker for HOCl [185], and their 

formulation is recommended. 

6. CH2O in H2

SO4 • mHNO3 • nH2O(l)—The recommended Henry’s Law relationship is: 

( + ) 2 2 HO 3 H H H 1+K a K a ∗ = +

where: H = 3.4 × 10–5 exp –[(–0.0456 + 55.5/T) (0.46 mH2SO4 + 0.13 mHNO3)] M atm–1, T is the temperature in 

K, and mH2SO4 and mHNO3 are the respective acid molalities; K2 = exp (4020/T–5.83) M–1, 

K3 = 0.56 exp [8.84–(T–260/T)] M–1, and aH2O and aH+ are the water and H + activities which are obtained 

from a thermodynamic model of the solution, e.g. Carslaw et al. [66] Valid for 10–85 wt. % H2SO4, 

8–40 wt % HNO3, T = 240–300 K. 

Knudsen cell studies by Tolbert et al. [330] and Iraci and Tolbert [192] and droplet train/flow reactor studies 

by Jayne et al. [200] all yield data showing that CH2O is strongly absorbed by sulfuric acid solutions, and 

Jayne et al. also provide data for ternary acid solutions. The Jayne et al. [200] studies included H2SO4

concentrations from 10 to 85 wt. % and HNO3 concentration between 8 and 40 wt. % with temperature 

variations from 241 to 300 K. These data were parameterized with three terms, representing physical CH2O 

solubility, reversible hydrolysis to CH2(OH)2, important in more dilute solutions, and reversible formation of 

CH3 O+

, dominant at high acidities. The Jayne et al. [200] parameterization is recommended above. The H* 

data from Iraci and Tolbert [192] cover 49 to 95 wt. % H2SO4 and a temperature range of 197 to 214.5 K and 

are in fair agreement with extrapolation of H* expression from Jayne et al. [200] for concentrations below 
5-42

~75 wt. %. However, the Iraci and Tolbert data are taken on such thin acid films that initial uptake slopes are 

difficult to determine accurately and the data scatter is large. While the Iraci and Tolbert data do indicate 

significantly larger H* values for H2SO4 concentrations above 75 wt. %, the data do not compel a 

reformulation of the Jayne et al. parameterization. 

7. CH3OH in H2SO4 • nH2O(l)—H* data from Kane and Leu [211], taken over 40–85 wt. % H2SO4 and from 

210–235 K, indicate soluble uptake below 65 wt. % and predominately reactive uptake to form 

methanesulfonic acid and dimethysulfate above 65 wt. %. Uptake decreased slightly with temperature below 

65 wt. % and increases slightly with temperature above. Data yield H*k1/2 at high acid concentrations. 

Weakly temperature dependent γs of ~0.15 were measured for 65, 75, and 80 wt. %. However, Knudsen cell 

studies by Iraci et al. [190] at 45, 61 and 72 wt. % over a 197–223 K temperature range show only well 

behaved reversible uptake. They argue that low vapor pressures explain the lack of CH3OH recovery for the 

short observation times used by Kane and Leu. They also cite three older literature studies on the reaction of 

methanol and ethanol at room temperature in sulfuric acid which report reaction rate constants much lower 

than those deduced by Kane and Leu [190]. Iraci et al. present the following parameterization of their data 

plus data for water: 

log H* = A + 1000B/T 

where A = 7.00 + log MH2O, B = 0.000619 m2 + 0.00544 m + 2.267, MH2O is the molarity of water in the 

solution (mol L–1) and m is the molality of the H2SO4 (moles H2SO4 per kg H2O). 

Note that this parameterization is based only on the Iraci et al. data. A reanalysis of the Kane and Leu [211] 

results to provide additional data in the 40–72 wt. % range, and H*

 values for higher wt. % should be 

undertaken to validate and extend the Iraci et al. data. 

8. CH3C(O)CH3 in H2SO4 • nH2O(l)—Duncan et al. [109,110] used IR spectra of thin sulfuric acid films to 

establish that acetone is absorbed as the protonated species. Above 70 wt. % protonated acetone undergoes a 

self-condensation/dehydration reaction to form protonated mesityl oxide, which, in turn, reacts with an 

additional protonated acetone to form trimethyl benzene. Duncan et al. [110] measured reversible uptake and 

derived Henry’s law constants for 70 wt. % H2SO4 at 180, 187 and 195 K and a value at 201 K for 76 wt. %. 

Kane et al. [212] measured uptake in a wetted wall flow reactor and derived H* parameters for 40, 50, 65, 

and 75 wt. % over a much wider temperature range than Duncan et al. [110]. Their data diverge above 80 wt. 

% which they attribute to reactive uptake a la Duncan et al. [109,110]. Klassen et al. [221] provide Knudsen 

cell uptake derived data for 48.7 to 78.3 H2SO4 wt % between 210 and 240 K that are generally consistent 

with that of Kane et al. [212]. Imamura and Akiyoshi [188] report wetted wall flow reactor H* measurements 

at 230 K for 50 and 60 wt. %, 250 K for 60, 69 and 76 wt. %, and 270 K for 76 and 79 wt. %; their data 

diverges a factor of 2 to 4 from that of Kane et al. [212] and Klassen et al. [221].

Equally weighted data sets from Kane et al. [212] and Klassen et al. [221] were combined and fit to generate 

the recommended parameterization. Two points for the solubility of acetone in water at 298 K and 273 K 

(Benkelberg et al. [48]) were included to improve the extrapolation to low wt. % solutions. 

The data points from Imamura and Akiyoshi [188] were not included because they were inconsistent with the 

other data and have a very different temperature dependence. The few data points from Duncan et al. 

[109,110] are also inconsistent with the other data and were not included in the parameterization. 

9. CH3C(O)O2NO2 in H2O and H2SO4 • nH2

O(l)—Zhang and Leu [364] performed wetted wall flow reactor 

studies using CIMS to detect CH3C(O)O2NO2 uptake over a temperature range of 199 to 226 K. Uptake 

studies were performed at 46, 54, 59, and 72 wt. % H2SO4 to yield H*

Dl

1/2 values. Dl values were calculated 

from a cubic cell model to derive H*. Leu and Zhang [236] fit their data from Zhang and Leu [364], 

including water data from Kames and Schurath [208] and Kames et al. [209], using the Setchenow 

coefficient form adopted by Huthwelker for HOCl [185]. This formulation is recommended for both water 

and sulfuric acid solutions. 

10. CF2O in H2SO4 • nH2O(l)—Hanson and Ravishankara [156] calculate an upper limit for H of CF2O based on 

assumed solubility limit resulting in lack of measurable uptake into 60 wt% H2SO4. 

11. CF3OH in H2SO4 • nH2O(l)—Lovejoy et al. [245] determined reacto-diffusive lengths of > 0.4 μm and 1.0 

μm for CF3OH uptake at 250 K on 40 and 50 wt % H2SO4 aerosols, respectively. This leads to H*

 estimates 

of >240 and 210 M atm–1, respectively. 
5-43

12. HOCl in H2SO4 • nH2O(l)—Recommendation is from the model of Shi et al. [313] which is based on wetted 

wall flow tube data from Hanson and Ravishankara [162] and Hanson and Lovejoy [154], and uptake by 

stirred and static solutions by Donaldson et al. [107]. This model incorporates newer, higher temperature data 

and replaces earlier recommended formulation by Huthwelker et al. [185]. 

13. ClONO2 in H2SO4 • nH2

O(l)—Recommendation is from the model of Shi et al. [313] who used a 

measurement of the hydrolysis reaction’s reacto-diffusive length by Hanson and Lovejoy [153] on 60 wt. % 

H2SO4 at 250 K to derive the hydrolysis rate constant, khyd, and constrain HClONO2 at 250 K. Shi et al. fit the 

Hk1/2 dependence of the ClONO2 uptake coefficients for a variety of ClONO2 hydrolysis and ClONO2 + HCl 

data to derive a parameterization for H as a function of wt. % and T. 

14. HBr in H2SO4 • mHNO3

 • nH2O(l)—Experimental data for HBr solubility is provided by Williams et al. 

[354], Abbatt [2], Abbatt and Nowak [8], Kleffman et al. [222], and Behr et al. [45]. Data from timedependent uptake measurements and from vapor pressure measurements is in good agreement after 

correcting for the fact that for some of the vapor pressure measurements the HBr concentration in solution 

was high enough to increase the acidity and thereby decrease the HBr solubility. By comparing pairs of data 

points with different HBr concentrations (from the same experiment), an average correction factor was 

obtained. The correction factor was used to correct the vapor pressure data of Williams et al. [354], Abbatt 

and Nowak [8] and Kleffmann et al. to zero effective HBr concentration. (This is different than the approach 

taken in Kleffmann et al. of using a “corrected” H2SO4 wt. %. However, the resulting parameterization is 

very similar to the one in Kleffmann et al. [222].) The time-dependent uptake data of Williams et al. [354] 

and Abbatt [2], and the molecular beam uptake data of Behr et al. [45] did not require correction. All of the 

experimental data have been fit to obtain the recommended parameterization as a function of H2SO4 wt. % 

and temperature. 

Agreement between this parameterization and the updated activity coefficient model of Massucci et al. [251] 

(and http://www.hpc1.uea.ac.uk/~e770/aim.html) is good for > 60 wt. %, but not very good at lower 

H2SO4 wt. %, particularly at low temperatures. Therefore, this parameterization is recommended for 

calculating HBr Henry’s law solubilities. 

The only data for HBr solubilities in ternary solutions is from Kleffmann et al. [222]. The data do not agree 

well with the updated activity coefficient in Massucci et al. [222] or with the older activity coefficient model 

in Luo et al. [248]. Until further information becomes available, the recommendation is to use the 

parameterization for ternary solutions given in Kleffmann et al. [222]. 

15. SO2 in H2SO4 • nH2

O(l)—Room temperature vapor pressure measurements reviewed by Hayduk et al. [171] 

and bubble train reactor uptake measurements by Rattigan et al. [282] for 0–70 wt. % H2SO4 agree very well. 

Langenberg et al. [229]] used a novel capillary gas chromatography technique to deduce H* values for 

41–83 wt. % H2SO4 over a temperature range of 193–242 K. The recommended parameterization is a fair fit 

to the Rattigan et al. and Langenberg et al. data sets and allows reasonable extrapolation over the full range 

of atmospheric temperatures. Note that the Langenberg et al. [229] data is in mol/kg-bar units and was 

converted to mole/l units using the density parameterization of Myhre et al. [269].

A.1 Gas-phase entropy and enthalpy values 

Table A-1 lists selected entropy and enthalpy of formation values at 298 K for a number of atmospheric 

species. As much as possible, the values were taken from primary evaluations, that is, evaluations that develop a 

recommended value from the original studies. Otherwise, the values were selected from the original literature, which 

is referenced in the table. Often, the enthalpy of formation and the entropy values are taken from different sources, 

usually due to a more recent value for the enthalpy of formation. The cited error limits are from the original 

references and therefore reflect often widely varying criteria. Some enthalpy values were corrected slightly to reflect 

the value of a reference compound selected for this table; these are indicated. Values that are calculated or estimated 

are also indicated in the table.
