PROTON AFFINITY OF METHYL NITRITE AND METHYL PEROXYNITRITE:IMPLICATIONS FOR MEASURING BRANCHING RATIOS OF ALKYL NITRATE AND NITRITES FROM RO+NO2 AND RO~(2+)NO REACTIONS

摘要

Alkyl nitrate formation from the RO+NO2 reaction is not well understood in terms of its fundamental mechanism,abundance and formation at the molecular level.Its formation is critical to the role of VOCs in the global transport of NO_x.We want to provide insight into the mechanism of alkyl nitrites and,in particular,alkyl nitrates.
