Rate Constant for the Reaction of NH (X3Σ−) with O2 Determined by Pulsed Vacuum UV Photolysis of NH3 and Resonance Fluorescence Detection of NH

The kinetics of NH (X3σ−) was studied using resonance fluorescence of NH (A3 →II Σ X3Σ−). From the pulsed vacuum uv photolysis of mixtures containing NH3, O2, and He the rate constant for the reaction magnified image . was found to be (at 296 K): magnified image .
