Abstract

The temperature dependence of the reaction of OH with nitrosyl chloride, CINO, has been studied from 263 to 373 K in a fast-flow discharge system. The decay of OH in the presence of excess CINO was followed by resonance fluorescence at 309.5 nm. The total pressure was 1.05 +/- 0.05 torr in He as the carrier gas. The rate constant increases both above and below room temperature suggesting the existence of two competing reaction paths, a direct abstraction reaction, HO + CINO ..-->.. HOCl + NO (1a) and one involving formation of an intermediate complex, HO + ClNO in equilibrium (HO x ClNO)* ..-->.. HONO + Cl (1b). This supports the interpretation of the room temperature product data of Poulet and co-workers. 13 references, 4 figures, 1 table.
