Abstract
A spectroscopic study has been made of the ion-ion neutralisation reaction NO++NO2- to neutral products in the wavelength range 180-600 nm. This was accomplished by observing the radiation emitted from a flowing afterglow plasma in which the dominant loss process for ionisation was the above neutralisation reaction. The only significant radiation observed was identified as the gamma bands of NO and it is deduced that the neutralisation reaction proceeds via a long-range electron transfer from the NO2- into the A 2 Sigma + state of NO, although population of the C 2 Pi and the D 2 Sigma + states cannot be ruled out.
