Abstract
The formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in high temperature environments is an ongoing area of research due to the mismatch between the experimental and simulated concentration profiles of PAHs in several flames. In this work, the role of methyl radicals in the growth of PAHs is identified by developing a detailed reaction mechanism for the conversion of phenanthrene to pyrene by methyl radicals. The reaction energetics are...
