Quenching of the O2 (Aν=2 → Xν=5) Herzberg I band by O2(a) and O
Keyword(s):
Data are presented that indicate that O2(a1Δg) is an effective quencher of [Formula: see text]. In a system where O and O2 are produced by an electrical discharge in a fast-flow system, O2(A) molecules were formed by allowing some of the oxygen atoms to recombine on a nickel surface. From the decay of O2(A) in the presence of O2(a), a rate constant of (8.1 ± 3) × 10−11 cm3 molec−1 s−1 was obtained for the interaction of these two species. A revised value of 1.3 × 10−11 cm3 molec−1 s−1 for the rate constant for the O2(A)ν = 2 quenching by O has been determined. The relative quenching rate of vibrational levels 0–4 have also been estimated.
