description <p>Organic peroxy radicals (<span class="inline-formula">RO<sub>2</sub></span>), formed from the degradation of hydrocarbons and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), play a key role in tropospheric oxidation mechanisms. Several competing reactions may be available for a given <span class="inline-formula">RO<sub>2</sub></span> radical, the relative rates of which depend on both the structure of <span class="inline-formula">RO<sub>2</sub></span> and the ambient conditions. Published kinetics and branching ratio data are reviewed for the bimolecular reactions of <span class="inline-formula">RO<sub>2</sub></span> with NO, <span class="inline-formula">NO<sub>2</sub></span>, <span class="inline-formula">NO<sub>3</sub></span>, OH and <span class="inline-formula">HO<sub>2</sub></span>; and for their self-reactions and cross-reactions with other <span class="inline-formula">RO<sub>2</sub></span> radicals. This information is used to define generic rate coefficients and structure–activity relationship (SAR) methods that can be applied to the bimolecular reactions of a series of important classes of hydrocarbon and oxygenated <span class="inline-formula">RO<sub>2</sub></span> radicals. Information for selected unimolecular isomerization reactions (i.e. H-atom shift and ring-closure reactions) is also summarized and discussed. The methods presented here are intended to guide the representation of <span class="inline-formula">RO<sub>2</sub></span> radical chemistry in the next generation of explicit detailed chemical mechanisms.</p>
