✦ Synopsis
Gas-phase hydrated anions 02H-(H30)n=0-2 are produced by a simple discharge ionization method, and their reactivities are studied in a fast flow reactor at room temperature. Rate constants for the reactions of OzHm and its hydrates with CH,CN, SO* and CO2 are measured, and reaction mechanisms are proposed to account for the findings. In the case of CHJN, dominant reaction channels for OzH-are proton transfer to form CH&N-and a more complicated mechanism to form CN-; association and switching evidently may occur for reactions with 02H-(Hz0).=1.1. For SO1 and CO*, the major reaction pathways are switching reactions leading to the formation of HCOc(H20),, HSO,( H,O), and HSO; (H,O),. The effect of salvation, and some possible applications to atmospheric chemistry are also discussed.

Mixtures of Cl:!, CH4, and 0 2 were flash photolyzed a t room temperature and pressures of -60-760 Torr to produce CH3O2. The CH3O2 radicals decay by the second-order process (6) 2CH302products with k g = (3.7 f 0.3) X cm3/sec in good agreement with other studies. This value ignores any removal by s
Methylperoxy radicals were generated by the flash photolysis of azomethane-oxygen mixtures. The observed broadband spectrum of the CH302 radical is similar, but not identical to those reported previously. The CH:302 decay followed second-order kinetics a t high CH:jOz concentrations with k4, = (2.5
The rate constants for the reaction of CN with NzO and COz have been measured by the laser dissociation/laser-induced fluorescence (two-laser pump-probe) technique at temperatures between 300 and 740 K. The rate of CN + NzO was measurable above 500 K, with a least-squares averaged rate constant, k =
