ate coefficients for the gas-phase reactions of OH radicals with a series of fluorinated acrylates and methacrylates: 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate (k1), 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropylacrylate (k2), 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropylmethacrylate (k3), and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylacrylate (k4) have been measured for the first time as a function of temperature in the range 290?308 K. The kinetic data obtained were used to derive the following Arrhenius expressions (in units of cm3 per molecule per s): k1 = (2.13 ± 0.68) × 10−18 exp[(4745 ± 206)/T], k2 = (8.72 ± 0.68) × 10−15 exp[(2166 ± 205)/T], k3 = (6.30 ± 0.51) × 10−17 exp[(3721 ± 153)/T] and k4 = (3.93 ± 0.43) × 10−16 exp[(3140 ± 129)/T]. The experiments were performed at normal atmospheric pressure in synthetic air using a 1080 L photoreactor and coupled with FTIR analysis to monitor the decay of the substances of interest and the reference compounds. The obtained negative temperature de
