Conclusion 1. We were the first to measure mass-peak intensity profiles of Ti(OC 3 H 7 ) 4 and products of its combustion: Ti, TiH, TiO, TiO 2, HTiO, HTiO 2, TiO 3, Ti 2 O 3 in premixed H 2 /O 2 /N 2 flame using the MBMS method. 2. A one-step reaction kinetic model for Ti(OC 3 H 7 ) 4 destruction used in the study, satisfactorily predicts the mass-peak intensity profile of TiO 2 which is the main combustion product of Ti(OC 3 H 7 ) 4 in the studied flame, but poorly predicts the concentration profile of Ti(OC 3 H 7 ) 4.
