Hydrocarbon reactivity

List various classification approaches used to account for hydrocarbon reactivity,... 

The extent to which this occurs depends on a number of issues (Finlayson-Pitts and Pitts 1997), including the reactivity of the hydrocarbon that is itself a function of many factors. It has been proposed that the possibility of ozone formation is best described by a reactivity index of incremental hydrocarbon reactivity (Carter and Atkinson 1987, 1989) that combines the rate of formation of O3 with that of the reduction in the concentration of NO. The method has been applied, for example, to oxygenate additives to automobile fuel (Japar et al. 1991), while both anthropogenic compounds and naturally occurring hydrocarbons may be reactive.

These properties and principles govern the transfer of organic chemicals between different environmental compartments. Of particular interest to halogenated hydrocarbon reactivity discussed in this treatise is the air-water interface (emissions, water column outgassing), and the solid-water interface (sorptive processes, sequestration, mineral-mediated reactions). For example, the role of air-water diffusive exchange in large aquatic systems may provide a source or sink for volatile compounds such as the halomethanes...

Three studies on radical cations discuss the characterization of polynuclear aromatic radical cation salts as organic metals (8), the reactions of cation radicals with neutral radicals (9), and the magnetic-electrical properties of perfluoroaromatic radical-cation salts (10). Chapters on polynuclear aromatic compounds in nonvolatile petroleum products (II) and in coal-based materials (12) present reviews of the subject and new findings. The remaining chapters in this book discuss the thermal conversion of polynuclear aromatic compounds to carbon (13), the nitration of pyrene by mixtures of N02 and N204 (14), the spectra, structures, and chromatographic retention times of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (15), the desulfurization of polynuclear thiophenes correlated with tt electron densities (16) and simple theoretical methods to predict and correlate polynuclear benzenoid aromatic hydrocarbon reactivities (IT).
