Laser Kinetic Spectroscopic Studies of (a) The Unimolecular Reactions of Nitroalkanes and, (b) Elementary Reactions Important in Combustion

摘要

The multiphoton ionization (MPI) of NO is used to probe the dynamics of the photodissociation of NO2 in a one-color experiment. The resulting MPI spectra clearly indicate the high internal rotational energy in the NO fragment. MPI shows promise as a highly-sensitive, information-rich diagnostic for internal state determinations of nitric oxide. We report that the 300 K reaction of C2H with O2 has as one of its product channels CH + CO2. By monitoring time resolved CH chemiluminescence following laser photolysis production of C2H in the presence of O2, we have measured rate coefficients for reactions of C2H with O2, H2, and CH4.
