Rate constant and products of the BrO + BrO reaction at 298 K

Abstract

AbstractThe overall rate coefficient k of the self recombination of BrO radicals has been measured at 298 K with use of the discharge flow/mass spectrometry technique. The rate coefficient k2 for the reaction channel forming Br2 has been also determined. The results are: k = (3.2 ± 0.5) × 10−12 and k2 = (4.7 ± 1.5) × 10−13 (in cm3 molecule−1 s−1). These results are discussed with respect to previous literature data.
