Comments:
Formation of benzyl radicals in shock heated gas was monitored by absorbtion at 266 nm and rate constants determined by fitting the derived radical profiles with a detailed reaction mechanism.
The authors derived the 3-parameter rate expression after a review of the literature and inclusion of the the upper bound value recommended by Ingham et al. (Proc. Combust. Inst. 25 (1994) 767) at 773 K. The authors rate constant is at most 20% larger than the 2005 Baulch recommendation (J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 34 (2005) 757).
The listed 20% uncertainty is 2 sigma and only pertains to the temperature range of the authors experiments (1117 to 1366 K). It takes into account uncertainty in temperature, pressure, initial mixture concentrations, secondary chemistry, absorption cross sections, and fitting the data
to computed profiles (uncertainty due to absorbance signal-to-noise).
