Abstract

The pulsed laser photolysis-pulsed laser induced fluorescence (PLP-PLIF) technique has been used to study the reactions of OH with DMS and DMS-d₆. The effective rate coefficient for the reaction of OH with DMS-d₆ has been determined as a function of O₂ partial pressure at 600 Torr total pressure in N₂/O₂ mixtures at 298 and 261 K and for both DMS and DMS-d₆ at 240 K. Currently recommended rates are based on an empirical fit to a two-channel mechanism. This work shows that at low temperatures the currently recommended expression underestimates both the effective rate coefficient for reaction together with the branching ratio between addition and abstraction.
