The rate constant for the reaction CH 3 O 2 + NO 2 → (products) has been measured directly by flash photolysis and kinetic spectroscopy. At room temperature and at total pressures between 53 and 580 Torr, k 3 = (9.2 ± 0.4) × 10 8 liter/mole sec so that the rate of formation of the probable primary product peroxymethyl nitrate (CH 3 O 2 NO 2 ) may be significant in urban atmospheres.
