Taylor, T.D. Allston, M.J. Moscato, G.B. Tazekas, R. Koslowski, G.A. Takacs Title: Atmospheric Photodissociation Lifetimes for Nitromethane, Methyl Nitrite, and Methyl Nitrate Journal/Source: Int. J. Chem. Kin., 12, 231-240, (1980); DOI: 10.1002/kin.550120404 Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 270 - 330 nm Resolution: Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration: Phase: pH: Comments: Atmospheric photodissociation rate coefficients and photodissociation lifetimes for nitromethane, methyl nitrite, and methyl nitrate were calculated as a function of altitude from their measured visible and near ultraviolet photoabsorption cross sections at 298 K.
