High-Pressure-Limit Rate Coefficients for HO(2) Elimination Reactions of Hydroperoxyalkenylperoxy Radicals based on the Reaction Class Transition State Theory

[Image: see text] Thermokinetic parameters and transport parameters are of great importance to the combustion model and the reaction rate rules are of great importance to construct the combustion reaction mechanism for hydrocarbon fuels. The HO(2) elimination reaction class for hydroperoxyalkenylperoxy radicals is one of the key reaction classes for olefin, for which the rate coefficients are lacking. Therefore, the rate coefficients and rate rules of the HO(2) elimination reaction class for hydroperoxyalkenylperoxy radicals are studied in this work. The reaction class transition state theory (RC-TST) is used to calculate the rate coefficients. In addition, the HO(2) elimination reaction class of hydroperoxyalkenylperoxy radicals is divided into four subclasses depending upon the type of H–C(β) bond that is broken in the reactant molecules, and the rate rules are calculated by taking the average of rate coefficients from a representative set of reactions in a subclass. The calculated kinetics data would be valuable for the construction of the combustion reaction mechanism for olefin.
