Kinetics of the gas-phase reaction of hydroxyl radicals with trimethyl phosphate over the 273–837 K temperature range

per molecule per s (273-837 K). Previously, only one indirect experimental measurement at a single (ambient) temperature was available. The temperature dependence over an extended temperature range obtained in this study together with the peculiar V-shaped temperature dependence will have an impact on the modelling of the flame inhibition by phosphates as well on the further understanding of the mechanisms of elementary chemical reactions.
