Md. King et al., A structure-activity relationship (SAR) for predicting rate constants for the reaction of NO3, OH and O-3 with monoalkenes and conjugated dienes, PCCP PHYS C, 1(9), 1999, pp. 2239-2246
A simple method of predicting rate constants for the reaction between NO3,
OH or O-3 and substituted alkenes (monoalkenes and conjugated dienes) has b
een demonstrated using a simple structure-activity relationship (SAR) based
on the structure of the alkene. The SAR is useful in providing an initial
estimate of an unknown rate constant for a reaction of an alkene and the im
portant tropospheric oxidants NO3, OH or O-3.
