Experiment

Name: Browne Lab_20210325_Chlorine/Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane/Acetonitrile_Chlorine radical_No Seed
Date: 2021-03-25

Organization
Browne Lab

Chamber
Browne Lab Main Chamber

Experiment Set
D5 Experiments

Goals
Oxidized D5 using Cl2 as the radical precursor to encourage RO2 isomerization/isomerization reactions.

Summary
We generally saw the same products as when other oxidants were used, even with very different RO2 lifetimes.

Additional Notes
NOx was not measured on the same day as the CIMS data was taken. NOx data is from a repeat experiments without any CIMS measurements.

Experiment Set Details

Name: D5 Experiments
Time format and units: CIMS time is in number of seconds since Jan 1st, 1904 in UTC. NOx data is in M/D/Y Hr:Min:Sec format in local time.
Description:
CIMS and NOx data (if available) for measurements of D5 oxidation with conditions favoring different peroxy radical fates. Three radical precursors were used: HONO, H2O2, and Cl2.
