Experimental and Computational Studies of the Kinetics of Alkoxy Radicals

该项目包括实验室研究和辅助计算研究，以获得在大气化学中重要的选定烷氧基反应的速率常数。该研究的长期目标是建立一个数据库，用于确定大气中烷氧基自由基的命运和挥发性有机化合物（VOC）的降解途径。这项研究将对我们对对流层臭氧产生的机理认识作出重要贡献，并使我们能够更好地模拟烟雾事件中臭氧的形成。

This project involves laboratory studies and supporting computational research to obtain rate constants for reactions of selected alkoxy radicals of importance in atmospheric chemistry. The long-term goal for the research is to build a database for use in determining the atmospheric fate of alkoxy radicals and the degradation pathways of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the atmospheric. This research will make an important contribution to our mechanistic understanding of tropospheric ozone production and enable better modeling of ozone formation in smog episodes.
