Abstract

In Part 1, guided ion beam mass spectroscopy is used to study the ion-molecule reactions O{sup +}({sup 4}S) + H{sub 2}(D{sub 2}, HD), (O{sup +}{sup 4}S) + N{sub 2}, C{sup +}({sup 2}P) + O{sub 2} and C{sup +}(P) + N{sub 2}. Integral reaction cross sections are measured as a function of kinetic energy in the center-of-mass frame. Reaction mechanisms and dynamics are examined, and the results are compared to the predictions of phase space theory. In some cases, thermochemistry for neutral and ionic species is derived. In Part 2, photoabsorption cross sections are measured for peroxydisulfuryl difluoride, (FSO{sub 3}){sub 2}, and the fluorosulfate radical, FSO{sub 3}. Photoabsorption cross sections of nitrosyl fluoride, FNO, are also measured, and the FNO absorption spectrum is analyzed and assigned. Spectral results for FNO are compared to the predictions and ab initio calculations and to those obtained for the isoelectronic compound HONO. 259 refs., 34 figs., 9 tabs.
