Alkoxy radicals are atmospherically important species, playing a direct role in the HO_x and NO_x cycles that affect tropospheric air pollution. Alkoxy radicals that can form a six membered transition state can isomerize into a hydroxyalkyl radical. In the presence of O_2, a rapid association reaction occurs, forming a hydroxyalkylperoxy radical. The n-butoxy radical is the smallest alkoxy to undergo isomerization, forming the γ-hydroxybutylperoxy radical (HOC_4H_8OO). Direct detection of HOC_4H_8OO opens the door to measuring alkoxy reaction kinetics with higher precision than previous end product studies. In this talk, we report the first detection of the tilde{A}-tilde{X} electronic spectrum of the HOC_4H_8OO radical. The spectrum is similar in shape to the tilde{A}-tilde{X} spectrum of n-butyl peroxy: a broad spectroscopic band due to the multiple molecular conformers that are present. We also use the tilde{A}-tilde{X} band to measure the alkoxy isomerization kinetics relative to the alkoxy radical's reaction with O_2, similar to the previous kinetics studies.
