β¦ Synopsis
The pressure dependence of electron attachment to 0, has been measured, at 296" C, using relaxation and steady state microwave conductivity methods. fi'hen the r&&s from the former method ;LI~ corrected for the natural time response of the apparatus good agreement between the two methods is found and attachment is sho*n to be three-body up to an 02 pressure of 100 torr. The three-body attachment rate constants with 02 and CO2 AS third bodies are 2.2 2 0.1 x lo-30 cm6 set-1 and 3.0 5 0.2 x lo-30 cm&.ec-1 , respectiveIy. The titial two-body attachment of an eIectron to an 0, molecuie is shown to have a rate constant considerably greater than 2 x 10-11 cm&c-l. L. '1 December 19?1 '.

It is shown that the a-selection rule which holds in electron attachment to single oxygen molecules (excluding X\*-Z-transitions), is strongly violated in oxygen clusters.
The pressure dependence of the thermal decomposition of nitrous oxide was investigated behind shock waves at temperatures between 1570 K and 3100 K and pressures from 0 3 atm to 450 atm Nitrous oxide concentration profiles were measured using IR emission from the 4.5p n u I band of N,O. The pressure
