Experiment

Name: Browne Lab_20210406_Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane/Hydrogen peroxide/Acetonitrile_Hydroxyl radical_No Seed
Date: 2021-04-06

Organization
Browne Lab

Chamber
Browne Lab Main Chamber

Experiment Set
D4 Experiments

Goals
We oxidized D4 using H2O2 as the oxidant precursor to promote RO2 radical reactions with HO2.

Summary
The siloxanol was the main product formed.

Name: D4 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 D4 oxidation with conditions favoring different peroxy radical fates. Three radical precursors were used, HONO, H2O2, and Cl2.
