Resumen:
Unsaturated nitriles are usually released from industries in the production of plastics, nitrile rubbers, nitrile barrier resins, diponitrile and acryl amide. Upon its formation, these nitriles may decompose and produce poisonous gases like hydrogen cyanide.1 Other sources of unsaturated nitriles are minute traces in food packaging and accidental chemical spills.2 The release of these volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere is likely to contribute to the formation of ozone and other components of photochemical smog found in urban areas through their reactions with OH and NO3 radicals as well as with O3 and Cl atoms. In this work, we report rate coefficients for the reactions of OH radicals with (E)-3-pentenenitrile (k1) and 4-pentenenitrile (k2).
