Research Abstract
This research project aims to investigate the oxidation chemistry of the gas phase Acetile Acetone (AcAc) + O 2 combustion reaction at specific pressure and temperature condition. The reaction is photolytically Cl-initiated in excess of bimolecular oxygen. These findings are expected to serve as the groundwork for improved fuel kinetic modeling, future investigations of other diketones, or even for justification of using AcAc as a fuel itself.
