We present absolute measurements of the rate constant for the reactions of OH with cyclohexane: k1=(8.6±0.8) × 10−12 cm3 molecule−1s−1 and with ethane: k3= (2.74±0.3) × 10−13 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, both measured at room temperature by discharge flow resonance fluorescence. Our result for k1 is above the average of two previously published measurements, but is in agreement with the preferred values of two recent reviews, as deduced from either relative measurements or theoretical correlations.
