The reaction of CH2, particularly the ground electronic state triplet CH2 [l], with 0 2 is known to be very fast. The effectiveness of the reactions involving both singlet (lCH2) and triplet (3CH2) methylene was most dramatically demonstrated by the drastic effects of O2 on CO laser emissions in bot

โฆ Synopsis
Concentrations of O('P) produced in the photodissociation of O2 (excited by ArF and KrF lasers) and of CO2 (ArF laser) were measured by using atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy behind reflected shock waves over 1600-2500 and 1500-2700 K temperature ranges, respectively. The Arrhenius temperature coefficients for the yield of 0 atoms were E,=30.9 & 2.6 kcal/ mol for photolysis of O2 excited at 248 nm, and E,= I3.6& 3.8 kcaljmol for CO2 excited at 193 nm. The observed yield of 0 atoms and its time dependence in the photolysis of O2 were found to agree very well with the calculation based on the RKR potentials for the transition, B 'I; t X '1;; it was concluded that the temperature dependence of the yield approximately represented population of the vibrationally excited states of energy E,s E,+
