✦ Synopsis
The rate coefficient, k , of the reaction H,O + CN + HCN + OH has been determined in the temperature range 2460-2840 K using a shock tube technique. C2N2-H20-Ar mixtures were heated behind incident shock waves and the CN and OH concentration time histories were monitored simultaneously using broad-band absorption near 388 nm (CN) and narrow-line laser absorption at 306.67 nm (OH). The rate coefficient expression providing the best fit to the data was k = 2.3 x 1013 exp ( -6700/T) cm3/mol s with uncertainty limits of about ?45% in the temperature range 2460-2840 K. The rate coefficient of the reverse reaction was calculated using detailed balancing, and its extrapolation to lower temperatures was compared with previously published results.

The rate coefficient of the reaction H + CO z ~ CO + OH (1) was measured using OH concentration measurements in shock-heated N20-H2-CO 2 mixtures and through the inhibiting effect of CO 2 on methane ignition. For 2170 < T < 3150 K the two methods give concordant results and imply k I = 2.0 × 1014exp
The reactants, products, and saddle point for the reaction H, + CN 4 H + HCN have been studied by ab initio calculations. The computed structures, frequencies, and energetics are compared directly to available measurements and, indirectly, to experimental rate constants. The theoretical rate constan
