Conclusions
1. Advanced chemical structure models provide useful information about tar species transformations
2. Tar species transformations follow these pathways:
Homolysis of the weakest bond of the compound.
Hydrogen abstraction from the second weak bond by a radical.
Formation of cyclopentadienyl (a stable radical), leading to formation of naphthalene and PAHs via the Diels Alder reaction.

2. Another possible formation of aromatic is from the pool radicals of (ene) which are formed when the cyclopentadienyl radical breaks into smaller compounds that react further via the Diels Alder reaction to form aromatic and larger rings.
3. In pyrolysis, PAH are formed by pyrosynthesis, in which radicals undergo a series of bimolecular reactions with alkenes, alkynes, and aromatics to form larger ring structures. PAH yields change with temperature and gas residence times.
