A new database for the kinetics of the gas-phase atmospheric reactions of organic compounds
Résumé
We present a digital, freely available, searchable, and evaluated compilation of rate coefficients for the gas-phase reactions of organic compounds with OH, Cl, NO3 and O3. Excellent compilations of much of these data exist, however, many are out of date, most have limited scope, and all are difficult to search and load completely into a digitized form. This database builds on these efforts and we use the results of these previous reviews where possible, although many of our recommendations are updated to include new or omitted data or address errors. Furthermore, we provide recommendations for those myriad compounds that have yet to receive a previous evaluation. This database incorporates over 50 years of kinetic measurements and is approaching 3000 recommended bimolecular rate coefficients. It is a living document and will continue to grow as new data become available.
