Reactions of F(2P) atoms generated by a 2.45 GHz discharge in dilute F2 + He mixtures have been studied mass spectrometrically with a beam inlet system from a fast flow reactor. F atom concentrations have been measured from the consumption of Cl2 in the simple and extremely rapid bimolecular reaction 1[Formula: see text]k1 was determined to be (1.1 ± 0.3) × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 300 °K.Rate measurements for the reaction 2, which forms CF3 radicals, are reported, over the range 301 to 667 °K,[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A less detailed survey of the rates at 298 °K of a series of reactions of F with H2, CH4, CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, and CHCl3, is also given; in these cases, the source of F was a discharge in CF4 + Ar, and [F] was measured by titration with ClNO.

The low pressure mercury (3P1) photosensitized decomposition of hydrazine has been studied at 55 °C in a fast flow reactor coupled to a mass spectrometer. Direct evidence was obtained for the participation of N2H2, N2H3, NH2, and NH in the decomposition, and two primary decomposition modes were established[Formula: see text]

Abstract. Based on photoionisation mass spectrometry two types of experiments were carried out. (i) In a fast flow reactor coupled to a low pressure flame as a particle source, rate coefficients for the coagulation of primary nanoparticles were measured through variation of the reactor residence time. The results are kc (350K) = 3.5x10-10cm3/s and kc (573K) = 1.1x10-9cm3/s, i.e. very high rate coefficients. It was also shown that coagulated nanoparticles can have masses beyond 50ku, corresponding to equivalent diameters between 4 to 5nm. These particles are easily fragmented during photoionisation. (ii) Using a second and mobile photoionisation mass spectrometer equipped with a fast flow inlet system, measurements were carried out behind three different vehicle engines, a two-stroke scooter engine, a four-stroke motorbike engine and a DI (direct injection) gasoline research engine. In all cases ion signals around 1000u were found that are clearly dependent on engine conditions. In the case of the DI engine, they correlate with the smoke number. These signals cannot be explained by PAHs due to their low volatility at the respective masses. Major contributions of soot or droplet fragmentation were ruled out through additional experiments using a heated inlet line and a filter. Consequently, these signals are interpreted as fragments of coagulated nanoparticles.
