Abstract

The reaction of NO2 with isobutane, induced by 488 nm laser radiation, to form 2-nitro-2-methylpropane has been investigated and the results computer-modeled according to two possible reaction mechanisms. The first scheme involves the direct abstraction of H from isobutane by vibronically excited NO2 (NO *Δ2 ), and the second, abstraction by an intermediate NO3 radial produced by NO *Δ2 +NO2. The modeling results strongly support the NO *Δ2 scheme as the dominant reaction mechanism.
