Abstract: Rate coefficients, k1(T), for the gas-phase reaction of the OH radical with Furan-2,5-dione (maleic anhydride (MA), C4H2O3), a biomass burning elated compound, were measured under pseudo first-order conditions in OH using the pulsed laser photolysis - laser induced fluorescence (PLP-LIF) method over a range of temperature (283-374 K) and bath gas pressure (50-200 Torr; He or N2). k1(T) was found to be independent of pressure over this range with k1(283-374 K) = (1.55 ± 0.20) x 10-12 exp [(-410 ± 44)/T) cm3 molecule -1 s-1 and k1(296 K) = (3.93 ± 0.28) x 10-13 cm3 molecule -1 s-1, where the uncertainties are 2o and the pre-exponential term includes the estimated systematic error. The atmospheric lifetime of MA with respect to OH reactive loss is estimated to be ~15 days. The present results are compared with a previous room temperature relative rate study of the OH + MA reaction and the significant discrepancy between the studies is discussed; the present results are approximately a factor of 4 lower. It is also noteworthy that the experimentally measured k1 (296 K) value obtained in this work is nearly a factor of 110 less than estimated by a structure activity relationship based on trends in ionization potential. Based in part on a computational evaluation, an atmospheric degradation mechanism of MA is proposed.
