L@t rnoasurcments made during the afterglow oi pure nitrogen and helium-nitrogen mixtures indicate that mutual collisions of the N?(A 'XL) molecule are responsible for the formation of the Nz(C3n,) and Nz(C?nu) states. Results for the latter state arc in agreement with other workers. A value for th
A study of the mechanism for N,( B 'II,) deactivation by Nz has been carried out using chemiluminescence in the reaction N(%) +N(?S)( +M)+N,(B 'II., v') +NI(A 3Z:, LJ") +hv. Different NZ isotopes were usedas excited and third-body molecules. Ni( B.%,, Y) deactivation w& found to involve 15Nz(X 'X:,
Strongly enhanced N2 fist positive emission N2(B %-+ A 3Z',) has been observed on addition of N atoms into a flowing mixture of Cl and HNJ. The dependence of the ekssion intensity on N atom concentration gave a rate constant for the reaction N + N3 -f N1(B 'fL) + N2(X Cl + HN, -+ HCI + N3 is (8.9 i
N2B3ng, Y = O-2 and N\*a"v;, Y = 0 were produced by pulsed rodiolysis af nitrogen (100-2000 torr) and fo!lowed by fast kinetic absorption spectroscopy in the second and fifth positive system. T!le rate constants for the denctivation of the species by nitrogen were found to be ~N~A,~ = 1.6i + 0.8; 2.
