The reaction of hydroxyl radicals (OH and OD) generated by infrared multiphoton dissociation of different isotopomers of methanol were studied in the presence of variable amounts of Ar buffer gas. The disappearance of the OH, or OD, radicals in the presence of the parent methanol was followed by laser induced fluorescence at 310 nm. Comparison of the rate constants obtained from these experiments reveal good agreement with observed isotope effects observed by other authors but suggest that the reactions occurs at higher temperatures than the macroscopic bulk temperature of the sample.

AbstractThe rate coefficient for the unimolecular decomposition of CH3OCH2, k1, has been measured in time-resolved experiments by monitoring the HCHO product. CH3OCH2 was rapidly and cleanly generated by 248 nm excimer photolysis of oxalyl chloride, (ClCO)2, in an excess of CH3OCH3, and an excimer pumped dye laser tuned to 353.16 nm was used to probe HCHO via laser induced fluorescence. k1(T,p) was measured over the ranges: 573–673 K and 0.1–4.3 × 1018 molecule cm−3 with a helium bath gas. In addition, some experiments were carried out with nitrogen as the bath gas. Ab initio calculations on CH3OCH2 decomposition were carried out and a transition-state for decomposition to CH3 and H2CO was identified. This information was used in a master equation rate calculation, using the MESMER code, where the zero-point-energy corrected barrier to reaction, ΔE0,1, and the energy transfer parameters, ⟨ΔEdown⟩ × Tn, were the adjusted parameters to best fit the experimental data, with helium as the buffer gas. The data were combined with earlier measurements by Loucks and Laidler (Can J. Chem.1967, 45, 2767), with dimethyl ether as the third body, reinterpreted using current literature for the rate coefficient for recombination of CH3OCH2. This analysis returned ΔE0,1 = (112.3 ± 0.6) kJ mol−1, and leads to $k_{1}^{\infty}(T)=2.9\times{10^{12}}$ (T/300)2.5 exp(−106.8 kJ mol−1/RT). Using this model, limited experiments with nitrogen as the bath gas allowed N2 energy transfer parameters to be identified and then further MESMER simulations were carried out, where N2 was the buffer gas, to generate k1(T,p) over a wide range of conditions: 300–1000 K and N2 = 1012–1025 molecule cm−3. The resulting k1(T,p) has been parameterized using a Troe-expression, so that they can be readily be incorporated into combustion models. In addition, k1(T,p) has been parametrized using PLOG for the buffer gases, He, CH3OCH3 and N2.
