Abstract
This study investigates the complex interaction between ozone and the autoxidation of 1-hexene over a wide temperature range (300-800 K), overlapping atmospheric and combustion regimes. It is found that atmospheric molecular mechanisms initiate the oxidation of 1-hexene from room temperature up to combustion temperatures, leading to the formation of highly oxygenated organic molecules. As temperature rises, the highly oxygenated organic molecules contribute to radical-branching decomposition pathways inducing a high reactivity in the low-temperature combustion region, i.e., from 550 K. Above 650 K, the thermal decomposition of ozone into oxygen atoms becomes the dominant process, and a remarkable enhancement of the conversion is observed due to their diradical nature, counteracting the significant negative temperature coefficient behavior usually observed for 1-hexene. In order to better characterize the formation of heavy oxygenated organic molecules at the lowest temperatures, two analytical performance methods have been combined for the first time: synchrotron-based mass-selected photoelectron spectroscopy and orbitrap chemical ionization mass spectrometry. At the lowest studied temperatures (below 400 K), this analytical work has demonstrated the formation of the ketohydroperoxides usually found during the LTC oxidation of 1-hexene, as well as of molecules containing up to nine O atoms.

Abstract
Hydrogen abstraction reactions by HO2 radicals from four primary amines including methylamine (MA), ethylamine (EA), n-propylamine (PA), and n-butylamine (BA), are investigated and the effect of the functional group on rate constants at different reaction sites is examined. A hybrid functional BH&HLYP coupled with cc-pVTZ as the basis set is utilized to determine geometry optimizations, frequencies, and connections between transition states and corresponding local minima. By comparing the reaction energies obtained by several density functional theory methods to those obtained using the gold-standard CCSD(T)/CBS(T-Q) method, the M08-HX/maug-cc-pVTZ combination is identified as the best suitable method with a mean unsigned deviation of 0.81 kcal mol-1. This method is then applied to construct the potential energy surface for all the reaction systems. High-pressure limit rate constants at 500-2500 K are calculated through variation transition state theory and conventional transition state theory, including a one-dimensional hindered rotor treatment and asymmetrical Eckart tunneling correction. The branching ratio analysis suggests that the hydrogen abstraction at the C site adjacent to the NH2 functional group (α reaction site) dominates the reactions. Linear Bell-Evans-Polanyi and Bell-Evans correlations are observed for the hydrogen abstractions at the C reaction sites. Furthermore, a scheme to estimate the rate constants for the CnH2n+1-NH2 + HO2 reaction system is presented.

Abstract
2-Methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO232) is a potential biofuel and renewable fuel additive. In a combustion environment, the consumption of MBO232 is mainly through the reaction with a OH radical, one of the most important oxidants. Here, we predict the intricate reactions of MBO232 and OH radicals under a broad range of combustion conditions, that is, 230-2500 K and 0.01-1000 atm. The potential energy surfaces of H-abstraction and OH-addition have been investigated at the CCSD(T)/CBS//M06-2X/def2-TZVP level, and the rate constants were calculated via Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus/master equation (RRKM/ME) theory. The decomposition reactions of the critical intermediates from the OH-addition reactions have also been studied. Our results show that OH-addition reactions are dominant below 850 K, while H-abstraction reactions, especially the channel-abstracting H atoms from the methyl groups, are more competitive at higher temperatures. We found that it is necessary to discriminate H atoms attached to the same C atom, as their abstraction rates can differ by up to 1 order of magnitude. The calculated results show good agreement with the reported experimental data. We have provided the modified Arrhenius expressions for rate constants of the dominant channels. The kinetic data determined in this work are of much value for constructing the combustion models of MBO232 and understanding the combustion kinetics and mechanism of other unsaturated alcohols.

Abstract
We investigated the reaction of O(3P) with cyclopentene at 4 Torr and 298 K using time-resolved multiplexed photoionization mass spectrometry, where O(3P) radicals were generated by 351 nm photolysis of NO2 and reacted with excess cyclopentene in He under pseudo-first-order conditions. The resulting products were sampled, ionized, and detected by tunable synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet radiation and an orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometer. This technique enabled measurement of both mass spectra and photoionization spectra as functions of time following the initiation of the reaction. We observe propylketene (41%), acrolein + ethene (37%), 1-butene + CO (19%), and cyclopentene oxide (3%), of which the propylketene pathway was previously unidentified experimentally and theoretically. The automatically explored reactive potential energy landscape at the CCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVTZ//ωB97X-D/6-311++G(d,p) level and the related master equation calculations predict that cyclopentene oxide is formed on the singlet potential energy surface, whereas propylketene is first formed on the triplet surface. These calculations provide evidence that significant intersystem crossing can happen in this reaction not only around the geometry of the initial triplet adduct but also around that of triplet propylketene. The formation of 1-butene + CO is initiated on the triplet surface, with bond cleavage and hydrogen transfer occurring during intersystem crossing to the singlet surface. At present, we are unable to explain the mechanistic origins of the acrolein + ethene channel, and we thus refrain from assigning singlet or triplet reactivity to this channel. Overall, at least 60% of the products result from triplet reactivity. We propose that the reactivity of cyclic alkenes with O(3P) is influenced by their greater effective degree of unsaturation compared with acyclic alkenes. This work also suggests that searches for minimum-energy crossing points that connect triplet surfaces to singlet surfaces should extend beyond the initial adducts.

Abstract
We report the detection of the oxygen-bearing complex organic molecules propenal (C2H3CHO), vinyl alcohol (C2H3OH), methyl formate (HCOOCH3), and dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) toward the cyanopolyyne peak of the starless core TMC-1. These molecules are detected through several emission lines in a deep Q-band line survey of TMC-1 carried out with the Yebes 40m telescope. These observations reveal that the cyanopolyyne peak of TMC-1, which is the prototype of cold dark cloud rich in carbon chains, contains also O-bearing complex organic molecules like HCOOCH3 and CH3OCH3, which have been previously seen in a handful of cold interstellar clouds. In addition, this is the first secure detection of C2H3OH in space and the first time that C2H3CHO and C2H3OH are detected in a cold environment, adding new pieces in the puzzle of complex organic molecules in cold sources. We derive column densities of (2.2 ± 0.3) × 1011 cm™2, (2.5 ± 0.5) × 1012 cm-2, (1.1 ± 0.2) × 1012 cm-2, and (2.5 ± 0.7) × 1012 cm-2 for C2H3CHO, C2H3OH, HCOOCH3, and CH3OCH3, respectively. Interestingly, C2H3OH has an abundance similar to that of its well known isomer acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), with C2H3OH/CH3CHO ~ 1 at the cyanopolyyne peak. We discuss potential formation routes to these molecules and recognize that further experimental, theoretical, and astronomical studies are needed to elucidate the true mechanism of formation of these O-bearing complex organic molecules in cold interstellar sources.

Abstract
Lignin is the most complex component of biomass, and development of a detailed chemical kinetic model for biomass pyrolysis mainly relies on the understanding of the lignin decomposition kinetics. para-Coumaryl alcohol (p-CMA, HOPh-CH═CH-CH2OH), the focus of our analysis, is the simplest of the lignin monomers (monolignols) containing a typical side-chain double bond and both alkyl- and phenolic-type OH-groups. In parts I and II of our work (Asatryan, R. J. Phys. Chem. A 2019, 123, 2570-2585; Hudzik, J. M. J. Phys. Chem. A 2020, current issue), we created a detailed potential energy surface (PES) and performed a kinetic analysis of chemically activated, unimolecular, and bimolecular reactions pathways for p-CMA + OH. Reaction pathways analyzed include dissociation, intramolecular abstraction, group transfer, and elimination processes. The α- and β-carbon addition reactions generate 1,3- (RA1) and 1,2-diol (RB1) adduct radicals, respectively. Well depths are approximately 29 and 41 kcal/mol below the p-CMA + OH entrance level. Kinetic analysis aides in determining the major pathways for our conventional and fractional pyrolysis experiments. The current paper focuses on the H-abstraction reactions via H, OH, and CH3 light ("pool") radicals from p-CMA. The thermochemical properties of all stable, radical, and transition-state species were determined using the ωB97XD density functional theory (DFT) and higher-level CBS-QB3 composite methods. Barrier heights from the prereaction complexes, for OH-radical abstractions, to the transition states for the propanoid side chain are compared to the model H-abstraction reactions of allyl alcohol (AA) with OH and p-CMA with H and CH3 radicals. The lowest-energy, most stable, p-CMA radical formed is at the C9 allylic position (p-CMA-C9j) with exothermicity of 26.63, 41.32, and 27.34 kcal/mol for H, OH, and CH3, respectively. For OH-radical abstraction at this position, our findings are consistent with corresponding data on AA + OH at 37.44 kcal/mol and similar to that of RB1. A similar stable radical with an exothermicity of 34.95 kcal/mol occurs for the phenol hydroxyl group, generating the p-CMA-O4j radical. H-abstraction pathways are considered in relation to other major pathways previously considered for p-CMA + OH reactions including H-atom shifts, dehydration, and β-scission reactions. Derived rate coefficients for substituted phenols can be utilized in detailed kinetic models for lignin/biomass pyrolysis.

Abstract
The anion photoelectron imaging spectra of an ion with m/z 85, generated under ion source conditions that optimize •OH production in a coexpansion with isoprene, are presented and analyzed with supporting calculations. A spectroscopic feature observed at a vertical electron detachment energy of 2.45 eV, which dominates the photoelectron spectrum measured at 3.495 eV photon energy, is consistent with the OH-·isoprene ion-molecule complex, while additional signal observed at lower electron binding energy can be attributed to other constitutional isomers. However, spectra measured over a 2.2-2.6 eV photon energy range, i.e., from near threshold of the predominant OH-·isoprene detachment feature through the vertical detachment energy, exhibit sharp features with common electron kinetic energies, suggesting autodetachment from a temporary anion prepared by photoexcitation. The photon energy independence of the electron kinetic energy of these features along with the low dipole moment predicted for the neutral •OH·isoprene van der Waals complex, suggest a complex photon-driven process. We present calculations supporting a hypothesis that near-threshold production of the •OH···isoprene reactive complex results in hydrogen abstraction of the isoprene molecule. The newly formed activated complex anion supports a dipole bound state that temporarily traps the near zero-kinetic energy electron and then autodetaches, encoding the low-frequency modes of the dehydrogenated neutral isoprene radical in the electron kinetic energies.

Abstract
This work provides a rigorous detailed kinetic study on the C2H2 + NH2 reaction in a wide range of conditions (T = 250-2000 K & P = 1-76000 Torr). In particular, the composite method W1U was used to construct the potential energy surface on which the kinetic behaviors were characterized within the state-of-the-art master equation/Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (ME/RRKM) framework. Corrections of the hindered internal rotation (HIR) treatment and quantum tunneling effect were included. A clear reaction mechanism shift with respect to both temperature and pressure was revealed via detailed kinetic and species analyses. In particular, bimolecular products (i.e., CH2[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]NH + H, CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]CNH2 + H, CH3CN + H, CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]C· + NH3 in the decreasing mole fraction order) can be formed directly from the reactants at high temperature and/or low pressure while they can be produced indirectly via intermediates (e.g., ·CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHNH2(cis), ·CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHNH2(trans), CH2[double bond, length as m-dash]C·NH2,…) at low temperature and/or high pressure. The calculated rate constants are in good agreement with the literature data from ab initio calculations without any adjustment; thus, the proposed temperature- and pressure-dependent rate constants, together with the thermodynamic data of the species involved, can be confidently used for modeling NH2-related systems under atmospheric and combustion conditions.

Abstract
The reaction of ketene with hydroxyl radical is drawing growing attention, for it is found to constitute an important step during the combustion of hydrocarbon and oxygenated hydrocarbon fuels, e.g., acetylene, propyne, allene, acetone, gasoline, diesel, jet fuels, and biofuels. We studied the potential energy surface (PES) of this reaction using B2PLYP-D3/cc-PVTZ for geometry optimization and composite methods based on CCSD(T)-F12/cc-PVTZ-F12 for energy calculations. From this PES, temperature- and pressure-dependent rate coefficients and branching ratios at 200-3000 K and 0.01-100 atm were derived using the RRKM/ME approach. The reaction is dominated by four product channels: (i) OH addition on the olefinic carbon of ketene to form CH2OH + CO, which is the most dominant under all conditions; (ii) H abstraction producing HCCO + H2O, which is favored at high temperatures; (iii) OH addition on the carbonyl carbon to form CH3 + CO2, which is favored at low pressures and high temperatures; and (iv) collisional stabilization of CH2COOH, which is favored at high pressures and low temperatures. With increasing temperatures, the overall rate constant koverall exhibit first negative but then positive temperature dependency, with its switching point (also the minimum point) at ∼400 K. Both product channel CH2OH + CO and HCCO + H2O are independent of pressure, whereas formation of CH3 + CO2 and collisional stabilization of CH2COOH are highly pressure dependent. Fitted modified Arrhenius expressions of the calculated rate constants are provided for the purpose of combustion modeling.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radicals and olefins are quite important from a combustion and an atmospheric chemistry standpoint. Large amounts of olefinic compounds are emitted into the earth's atmosphere from both biogenic and anthropogenic sources. Olefins make a significant share in transportation fuels (e.g., up to 20% by volume in gasoline), and they appear as important intermediates during hydrocarbon oxidation. As olefins inhibit low-temperature heat release, they have caught some attention for their applicability in future advanced combustion engine technology. Despite their importance, the literature data for the reactions of olefins are quite scarce. In this work, we have measured the rate coefficients for the reaction of hydroxyl radicals (OH) with several diolefins, namely 1,3-butadiene, cis-1,3-pentadiene, trans-1,3-pentadiene, and 1,4-pentadiene, over a wide range of experimental conditions ( T = 294-468 K and p ∼ 53 mbar; T = 881-1348 K and p ∼ 1-2.5 bar). We obtained the low- T data in a flow reactor using laser flash photolysis and laser-induced fluorescence (LPFR/LIF), and the high- T data were obtained with a shock tube and UV laser-absorption (ST/LA). At low temperatures, we observed differences in the reactivity of cis- and trans-1,3-pentadiene, but these molecules exhibited similar reactivity at high temperatures. Similar to monoolefins + OH reactions, we observed negative temperature dependence for dienes + OH reactions at low temperatures-revealing that OH-addition channels prevail at low temperatures. Except for the 1,4-pentadiene + OH reaction, which shows evidence of significant H-abstraction reactions even at low-temperatures, other diolefins studied here almost exclusively undergo addition reaction with OH radicals at the low-temperature end of our experiments; whereas the reactions mainly switch to hydrogen abstraction at high temperatures. These reactions show complex Arrhenius behavior as a result of many possible chemical pathways in such a convoluted system.

Abstract
The reaction of alkenes with hydroxyl (OH) radical is of great importance to atmospheric and combustion chemistry. This work used a combined ab initio/transition state theory (TST) method to study the reaction mechanisms and kinetics for hydrogen abstraction reactions by OH radical on C4–C6 alkenes. The elementary abstraction reactions involved were divided into 10 reaction classes depending upon the type of carbon atoms in the reaction center. Geometry optimization was performed by using DFT M06-2X functional with the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. The energies were computed at the high-level CCSD(T)/CBS level of theory. Linear correlation for the computed reaction barriers and enthalpies between M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) and CCSD(T)/CBS methods were found. It was shown that the C=C double bond in long alkenes not only affected the related allylic reaction site, but also exhibited a large influence on the reaction sites nearby the allylic site due to steric effects. TST in conjunction with tunneling effects were employed to determine high-pressure limit rate constants of these abstraction reactions and the computed overall rate constants were compared with the available literature data.

Abstract
Alkenes are important ingredients of realistic fuels and are also critical intermediates during the combustion of a series of other fuels including alkanes, cycloalkanes, and biofuels. To provide insights into the combustion behavior of alkenes, detailed quantum chemical studies for crucial reactions are desired. Hydrogen abstractions of alkenes play a very important role in determining the reactivity of fuel molecules. This work is motivated by previous experimental and modeling evidence that current literature rate coefficients for the abstraction reactions of alkenes are still in need of refinement and/or redetermination. In light of this, this work reports a theoretical and kinetic study of hydrogen atom abstraction reactions from C4-C6 alkenes by the hydrogen (H) atom and methyl (CH3) radical. A series of C4-C6 alkene molecules with enough structural diversity are taken into consideration. Geometry and vibrational properties are determined at the B3LYP/6-31G(2df,p) level implemented in the Gaussian-4 (G4) composite method. The G4 level of theory is used to calculate the electronic single point energies for all species to determine the energy barriers. Conventional transition state theory with Eckart tunneling corrections is used to determine the high-pressure-limit rate constants for 47 elementary reaction rate coefficients. To faciliate their applications in kinetic modeling, the obtained rate constants are given in the Arrhenius expression and rate coefficients for typical reaction classes are recommended. The overall rate coefficients for the reaction of H atom and CH3 radical with all the studied alkenes are also compared. Branching ratios of these reaction channels for certain alkenes have also been analyzed.

Abstract
Isoprene carries approximately half of the flux of non-methane volatile organic carbon emitted to the atmosphere by the biosphere. Accurate representation of its oxidation rate and products is essential for quantifying its influence on the abundance of the hydroxyl radical (OH), nitrogen oxide free radicals (NO x), ozone (O3), and, via the formation of highly oxygenated compounds, aerosol. We present a review of recent laboratory and theoretical studies of the oxidation pathways of isoprene initiated by addition of OH, O3, the nitrate radical (NO3), and the chlorine atom. From this review, a recommendation for a nearly complete gas-phase oxidation mechanism of isoprene and its major products is developed. The mechanism is compiled with the aims of providing an accurate representation of the flow of carbon while allowing quantification of the impact of isoprene emissions on HO x and NO x free radical concentrations and of the yields of products known to be involved in condensed-phase processes. Finally, a simplified (reduced) mechanism is developed for use in chemical transport models that retains the essential chemistry required to accurately simulate isoprene oxidation under conditions where it occurs in the atmosphere-above forested regions remote from large NO x emissions.

Abstract
Fourier transform infrared spectra of isolated 1-propenol and 2-propenol in the gas-phase have been collected in the range of 900-3800 cm-1, and the absolute infrared absorption cross sections reported for the first time. Both cis and trans isomers of 1-propenol were observed with the trans isomer in greater abundance. Syn and anti conformers of both 1- and 2-propenol were also observed, with abundance consistent with thermal population. The FTIR spectrum of the smaller ethenol (vinyl alcohol) was used as a benchmark for our computational results. As a consequence, its spectrum has been partially reassigned resulting in the first report of the anti-ethenol conformer. Electronic structure calculations were used to support our experimental results and assign vibrational modes for the most abundant isomers, syn-trans-1-propenol and syn-2-propenol.

Abstract
Reaction rate coefficients for the reaction of hydroxyl (OH) radicals with nine large branched alkanes (i.e., 2-methyl-3-ethyl-pentane, 2,3-dimethyl-pentane, 2,2,3-trimethylbutane, 2,2,3-trimethyl-pentane, 2,3,4-trimethyl-pentane, 3-ethyl-pentane, 2,2,3,4-tetramethyl-pentane, 2,2-dimethyl-3-ethyl-pentane, and 2,4-dimethyl-3-ethyl-pentane) are measured at high temperatures (900-1300 K) using a shock tube and narrow-line-width OH absorption diagnostic in the UV region. In addition, room-temperature measurements of six out of these nine rate coefficients are performed in a photolysis cell using high repetition laser-induced fluorescence of OH radicals. Our experimental results are combined with previous literature measurements to obtain three-parameter Arrhenius expressions valid over a wide temperature range (300-1300 K). The rate coefficients are analyzed using the next-nearest-neighbor (N-N-N) methodology to derive nine tertiary (T003, T012, T013, T022, T023, T111, T112, T113, and T122) site-specific rate coefficients for the abstraction of H atoms by OH radicals from branched alkanes. Derived Arrhenius expressions, valid over 950-1300 K, are given as (the subscripts denote the number of carbon atoms connected to the next-nearest-neighbor carbon): T003 = 1.80 × 10-10 exp(-2971 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1; T012 = 9.36 × 10-11 exp(-3024 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1; T013 = 4.40 × 10-10 exp(-4162 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1; T022 = 1.47 × 10-10 exp(-3587 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1; T023 = 6.06 × 10-11 exp(-3010 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1; T111 = 3.98 × 10-11 exp(-1617 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1; T112 = 9.08 × 10-12 exp(-3661 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1; T113 = 6.74 × 10-9 exp(-7547 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1; T122 = 3.47 × 10-11 exp(-1802 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1.

Abstract
We present a model which accurately predicts the net speed distributions of products resulting from the unimolecular decomposition of rotationally excited radicals. The radicals are produced photolytically from a halogenated precursor under collision-free conditions so they are not in a thermal distribution of rotational states. The accuracy relies on the radical dissociating with negligible energetic barrier beyond the endoergicity. We test the model predictions using previous velocity map imaging and crossed laser-molecular beam scattering experiments that photolytically generated rotationally excited CD2CD2OH and C3H6OH radicals from brominated precursors; some of those radicals then undergo further dissociation to CD2CD2 + OH and C3H6 + OH, respectively. We model the rotational trajectories of these radicals, with high vibrational and rotational energy, first near their equilibrium geometry, and then by projecting each point during the rotation to the transition state (continuing the rotational dynamics at that geometry). This allows us to accurately predict the recoil velocity imparted in the subsequent dissociation of the radical by calculating the tangential velocities of the CD2CD2/C3H6 and OH fragments at the transition state. The model also gives a prediction for the distribution of angles between the dissociation fragments' velocity vectors and the initial radical's velocity vector. These results are used to generate fits to the previously measured time-of-flight distributions of the dissociation fragments; the fits are excellent. The results demonstrate the importance of considering the precession of the angular velocity vector for a rotating radical. We also show that if the initial angular momentum of the rotating radical lies nearly parallel to a principal axis, the very narrow range of tangential velocities predicted by this model must be convoluted with a J = 0 recoil velocity distribution to achieve a good result. The model relies on measuring the kinetic energy release when the halogenated precursor is photodissociated via a repulsive excited state but does not include any adjustable parameters. Even when different conformers of the photolytic precursor are populated, weighting the prediction by a thermal conformer population gives an accurate prediction for the relative velocity vectors of the fragments from the highly rotationally excited radical intermediates.

Abstract
A hyperthermal nozzle was utilized to study the thermal decomposition of propionaldehyde, CH3CH2CHO, over a temperature range of 1073-1600 K. Products were identified with two detection methods: matrix-isolation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and photoionization mass spectrometry. Evidence was observed for four reactions during the breakdown of propionaldehyde: α-C-C bond scission yielding CH3CH2, CO, and H, an elimination reaction forming methylketene and H2, an isomerization pathway leading to propyne via the elimination of H2O, and a β-C-C bond scission channel forming methyl radical and (•)CH2CHO. The products identified during this experiment were CO, HCO, CH3CH2, CH3CH═C═O, H2O, CH3C≡CH, CH3, H2C═C═O, CH2CH2, CH3CH═CH2, HC≡CH, CH2CCH, H2CO, C4H2, C4H4, and CH3CHO. The first eight products result from primary or bimolecular reactions involving propionaldehyde while the remaining products occur from reactions including the initial pyrolysis products. While the pyrolysis of propionaldehyde involves reactions similar to those observed for acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde in recent studies, there are a few unique products observed which highlight the need for further study of the pyrolysis mechanism.

Abstract
Thermal decompositions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) oxyradicals on various surface sites including five-membered ring, free-edge, zigzag, and armchair have been systematically investigated by using ab initio density functional theory B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) basis set. The calculation based on Hückel theory indicates that PAHs (3H-cydopenta[a]anthracene oxyradical) with oxyradicals on a five-membered ring site have high chemical reactivity. The rate coefficients of PAH oxyradical decomposition were evaluated by using Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory and solving the master equations in the temperature range of 1500-2500 K and the pressure range of 0.1-10 atm. The kinetic calculations revealed that the rate coefficients of PAH oxyradical decomposition are temperature-, pressure-, and surface site-dependent, and the oxyradical on a five-membered ring is easier to decompose than that on a six-membered ring. Four-membered rings were found in decomposition of the five-membered ring, and a new reaction channel of PAH evolution involving four-membered rings is recommended.

Abstract
We investigate the photolytic production of two radical intermediates in the reaction of OH with propene, one from addition of the hydroxyl radical to the terminal carbon and the other from addition to the center carbon. In a collision-free environment, we photodissociate a mixture of 1-bromo-2-propanol and 2-bromo-1-propanol at 193 nm to produce these radical intermediates. The data show two primary photolytic processes occur: C-Br photofission and HBr photoelimination. Using a velocity map imaging apparatus, we measured the speed distribution of the recoiling bromine atoms, yielding the distribution of kinetic energies of the nascent C3H6OH radicals + Br. Resolving the velocity distributions of Br((2)P(1/2)) and Br((2)P(3/2)) separately with 2 + 1 REMPI allows us to determine the total (vibrational + rotational) internal energy distribution in the nascent radicals. Using an impulsive model to estimate the rotational energy imparted to the nascent C3H6OH radicals, we predict the percentage of radicals having vibrational energy above and below the lowest dissociation barrier, that to OH + propene; it accurately predicts the measured velocity distribution of the stable C3H6OH radicals. In addition, we use photofragment translational spectroscopy to detect several dissociation products of the unstable C3H6OH radicals: OH + propene, methyl + acetaldehyde, and ethyl + formaldehyde. We also use the angular momenta of the unstable radicals and the tensor of inertia of each to predict the recoil kinetic energy and angular distributions when they dissociate to OH + propene; the prediction gives an excellent fit to the data.

Abstract
The reaction of allyl chloride with the hydroxyl radical has been investigated on a sound theoretical basis. This is the first time to gain a conclusive insight into the reaction mechanism and kinetics for important pathways in detail. The reaction mechanism confirms that OH addition to the C=C double bond forms the chemically activated adducts, IM1 (CH2CHOHCH2Cl) and IM2 (CH2OHCHCH2Cl) via low barriers, and direct H-abstraction paths may also occur. Variational transition state model and multichannel RRKM theory are employed to calculate the temperature-, pressure-dependent rate constants. The calculated rate constants are in good agreement with the experimental data. At 100 Torr with He as bath gas, IM6 formed by collisional stabilization is the major products in the temperature range 200-600 K; the production of CH2CHCHCl via hydrogen abstractions becomes dominant at high temperatures (600-3000 K).
