By using Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) absorption spectroscopy, rate coefficients in the range of 10-16 to 10-14 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 have been determined for the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of several substrates including halogenated organic compounds and amines by t-butoxy radical generated from the uv photolysis of t-butyl nitrite in the gas phase. Arrhenius parameters for selected reactions have been measured in the temperature range 299-318 K. Transition states and activation barriers for such reactions have been computed with the help of Gaussian 03 software and found to match very well with the experimental values.
