✦ Synopsis
The rate coefficient for the reaction (1) OH + OH --* HzO + 0 has been determined in mixtures of nitric acid (HNO3) and argon in incident shock wave experiments. Quantitative OH time-histories were obtained by cw narrow-linewidth uv laser absorption of the Rl(5) line of the A2 x+ + X 2 ni (0,O) transition at 32606.56 cm-l (vacuum). The experiments were conducted over the temperature range 1050-2380 K and the pressure range 0.18-0.60 atm. The second-order rate Coefficient was determined to be kl = 9.40 X T4.77 ex p(+4570/T [K]) [cm3 mol-' s-'] with overall uncertainties of +11%, -16% at high temperatures and +25%, -22% at low temperatures. By incorporating data from previous investigations in the temperature range 298-578 K, the following expression is determined for the temperature range 298-2380 K k1 = 3.57 X lo4 T2.40 exp(+1063/T [K]) [cm3 mol-' s-'].

We report the observation of the O-+H,O+OH-+OH ion-molecule reaction following photodissociation of 0, within the 0: .H20 ion-dipole complex. Photoexcitation of the 0~ A % ,+X 'lIn dissociative transition in the 200-300 nm region initiates the reaction. The 0-'H20 reaction intermediate is the domina
An improved version of a recently reported semiclassical wavepacket approach is used to compute initial state selected total integral cross sections as well as thermal rate constants for the reaction OH+H2 ---\* H20+H. The method involves treating the diatomic vibrations as well as their relative tr
Guided-ion beam methods were used to measure the absolute cross sections for OH+/OD + derived from O + and H20/D20 collisions over the range of 0.25-20 eV relative energy. The cross sections for the isotopic homologues have the same form, a bimodal behavior that appears to be related to the thermoch
