Rate constants for Hydrogen abstraction reactions of NO₃ in aqueous solution

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Rate constants have been measured by pulse radiolysis for the reactions of the NO 3 radical with five cyclic ethers and a series of alcohols. Rate constants ranged from 3.5 × 10 4 M ×1 s ×1 for deuterated methanol to 1.1 × 10 7 M −1 s −1 for tetrahydrofuran. The rate constants for the reactions of NO 3 with the alcohols 1‐propanol to 1‐heptanol were found to be linearly dependent on the number of CH 3 groups with a group reactivity of 6.4 × 10 5 M −1 s −1 .
