Ellermann, J. Sehested, O.J. Nielsen, P. Pagsberg, T.J. Wallington Title: Kinetics of the reaction of F atoms with O2 and UV spectrum of FO2 radicals in the gas phase at 295 K Journal/Source: Chem. Phys. Lett., 218, 287-294, (1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0009-2614(94)00006-9 Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 215 - 254 nm Resolution: Temperature: 295 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: Phase: gas pH: Comments: The ultraviolet absorption spectrum of FO2 radicals and the kinetics of the reaction of F atoms with O2 have been studied in the gas phase at 295 K using pulse radiolysis combined with kinetic UV spectroscopy. At 230 nm, sigma(FO2) = (5.08±0.70) × 10-18 cm2 molecule-1. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
