Rate constants assigned for the reactions of OH radicals aromatic hydrocarbons whose<br />

mechanisms were updated for this work. The estimated rate constants for the addition of<br />

OH radicals to the aromatic ring are also shown.<br />

[a] Total rate constant for the reactions of the aromatic with OH radicals. Temperature dependence is<br />

given by A exp(-Ea/T), where T is the temperature in degrees K, and the units of k(300) (the rate<br />

constant at 300K) and A are cm 3 molec -1 s -1 , and Ea is the activation energy in degrees K. The notes<br />

indicate the source of the rate constant used. A “-” in the activation energy (Ea) column means that<br />

there is no information in the reference cited about the temperature dependence of the rate constant,<br />

and a “0” in that column means that there are experimental data indicating that the temperature<br />

dependence is negligible.<br />

[b] The estimated rate constant for the addition of OH radicals to the aromatic ring in cm 3 molec -1 s -1 and<br />

the fraction reacted by addition in percent. The notes column indicates how this was estimated. The<br />

rate constants or fractions reacted by abstraction from the methyl or ethyl substituent are the<br />

differences between the total rate constant or fraction and the rate constant or fraction for addition to<br />

the aromatic ring.<br />

[c] Sources for the total OH rate constants used are as follows:<br />

1 As recommended or tabulated by Atkinson and Arey (2003). Same as used in <strong>SAPRC</strong>-07 (Carter,<br />

2010a,b).<br />

2 Average of 6.03 x 10 -12 cm 3 molec -1 s -1 (Ohta and Ohyama, 1985), 6.49 x 10 -12 cm 3 molec -1 s -1<br />

(Lloyd et al., 1976; measured at ~305 K), 7.95 x 10 -12 cm 3 molec -1 s -1 (Ravishankara et al., 1978;<br />

measured at 200 torr He), 5.85 x 10 -12 cm 3 molec -1 s -1 (Anderson et al., 2003) and 6.2 x 10 -12 cm 3<br />

molec -1 s -1 (Anderson et al., 2004).<br />

3 Average of the rate constants reported by Ravishankara et al. (1978), (6.4 ± 0.36) x 10 -12 cm 3<br />

molec -1 s -1 at 20 torr He, (5.86 ± 0.16) x 10 -12 cm 3 molec -1 s -1 at 200 torr He, This is very close to<br />

6.14 x 10 -12 cm 3 molec -1 s -1 rate constant from Ohta and Ohyama (1985).<br />
