AbstractStellar winds of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are responsible for the production of ∼85% of the gas molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM), and yet very few of the gas phase rate coefficients under the relevant conditions (10 – 3000 K) needed to model the rate of production and loss of these molecules in stellar winds have been experimentally measured. If measured at all, the value of the rate coefficient has often only been obtained at room temperature, with extrapolation to lower and higher temperatures using the Arrhenius equation. However, non-Arrhenius behavior has been observed often in the few measured rate coefficients at low temperatures. In previous reactions studied, theoretical simulations of the formation of long-lived pre-reaction complexes and quantum mechanical tunneling through the barrier to reaction have been utilized to fit these non-Arrhenius behaviours of rate coefficients.Reaction rate coefficients that were predicted to produce the largest change in the production/loss of Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) in stellar winds at low temperatures were selected from a sensitivity analysis. Here we present measurements of rate coefficients using a pulsed Laval nozzle apparatus with the Pump Laser Photolysis - Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLP-LIF) technique. Gas flow temperatures between 30 – 134 K have been produced by the University of Leeds apparatus through the controlled expansion of N2 or Ar gas through Laval nozzles of a range of Mach numbers between 2.49 and 4.25.Reactions of interest include those of OH, CN, and CH with volatile organic species, in particular formaldehyde, a molecule which has been detected in the ISM. Kinetics measurements of these reactions at low temperatures will be presented using the decay of the radical reagent. Since formaldehyde and the formal radical (HCO) are potential building blocks of COMs in the interstellar medium, low temperature reaction rate coefficients for their production and loss can help to predict the formation pathways of COMs observed in the interstellar medium.

Theoretical predictions are made for the pressure and temperature dependences of two reactions involved in methanol combustion: (A) CH3O → CH2O + H and (B) CH2OH → CH2O + H. The calculations are carried out by using RRKM theory with a Gorin model for the activated complexes, with fall-off effects being taken into account by using the master equation. Results for the high-pressure rate coefficients (s-1) are (A) 3×1014 exp(-108 kJ mol-1 /RT), (B) 7×1014 exp(-124 kJ mol-1 /RT) at 1000 K. For the low-pressure limiting rate coefficient (cm3 s-1) over the range 600- 1000 K (A) 8×10-9 exp(-90 kJ mol-1 /RT); (B) 2×10-8 exp(-108 kJ mol-1 /RT). At 1000 K, the pressure at which the fall-off rate coefficients are one-half of their limiting high-pressure values are 3x108 Pa for both reactions. Formulae for inclusion of these reactions (including fall- off effects) over the range 300-2000 K and 10-2-106 Pa in modelling complex kinetic schemes are presented.

cycloHexy1 chloride has been shown to decompose in the gas phase at 318-385 �C almost exclusively to cyclohexene and hydrogen chloride. With clean glass-walled reactors the reaction was largely heterogeneous, but after the walls were coated with a carbonaceous film a homogeneous first-order reaction was found to predominate. For initial pressures within the range 4-40 cm mercury the rate coefficients for the homogeneous reaction were expressible as������� k = 5.88 x 1013exp(-50,000 cal/RT) sec-1. There was some evidence for the rate coefficient becoming pressure-dependent below 5-10 mm initial pressure of reactant. The reaction exhibited no induction periods and the velocity was virtually unaffected by the addition of large amounts of propene or cyclohexene and traces of chlorine or bromine. The results were consistent with a unimolecular elimination of hydrogen chloride.

Abstract. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic air pollutants. The dispersion of PAHs in the atmosphere is influenced by gas-particle partitioning and chemical loss. These processes are closely interlinked and may occur at vastly differing timescales, which complicates their mathematical description in chemical transport models. Here, we use a kinetic model that explicitly resolves mass transport and chemical reactions in the gas and particle phases to describe and explore the dynamic and non-equilibrium interplay of gas-particle partitioning and chemical losses of PAHs on soot particles. We define the equilibration timescale τeq of gas-particle partitioning as the e-folding time for relaxation of the system to the partitioning equilibrium. We find this metric to span seconds to hours depending on temperature, particle surface area and the type of PAH. The equilibration time can be approximated using a time-independent equation τeq ≈ 1/(kdes + kads), which depends on the desorption rate coefficient kdes and adsorption rate coefficient kads, both of which can be calculated from experimentally-accessible parameters. The model reveals two regimes in which different physical processes control the equilibration timescale: a desorption-controlled and an adsorption-controlled regime. In a case study with the PAH pyrene, we illustrate how chemical loss can perturb the equilibrium particulate fraction at typical atmospheric concentrations of O3 and OH. For the surface reaction with O3, the perturbation is significant and increases with the gas-phase concentration of O3. Conversely, perturbations are smaller for reaction with the OH radical, which reacts with PAHs on both the surface of particles and in the gas phase. Global and regional chemical transport models typically approximate gas-particle partitioning with instantaneous equilibration approaches. We highlight scenarios in which these approximations deviate from the explicit-coupled treatment of gas-particle partitioning and chemistry presented in this study. We find that the discrepancy between solutions depends on the operator-splitting time step and the choice of time step can help to minimize the discrepancy. The findings and techniques presented in this work are not only relevant for PAHs, but can also be applied to other semi-volatile substances that undergo chemical reactions and mass transport between the gas and particle phase.
