Oxidation of Aromatics
(Carstensen and Dean, IJCK 2012) (Lin and Lin, JPC 1986) (Zhou, Kislov, Mebel, JPC A 2012) Oxyradicals are likely key intermediates Generally we look at the oxidation of benzene. It forms an oxyradical which decomposes to form a 5-member ring and CO. How does that translate to a larger PAH? We have been examining the decomposition.

Substrate Size 1 atm -Affect is larger then expected
-More work needs to be done in understand the assumption from molecular to edge reaction.

> >> Conclusions Proliferation of zigzag-edges in flames
The decomposition of oxyradicals: temperature, pressure, substrate-size, site dependent armchair rates are close to those of a zigzag-edge correlated with aromaticity The following generalization can be made: 2 free edges free edge 1 free edge free edge no free edges > >> Proliferation of zigzag-edges in flames
