β¦ Synopsis
We have studied the recombination of chlorine atoms in the presence of argon over a wide range of ratios [C12]/[Ar]. The recombination of chlorine atoms has not attracted much attention because of detection difficulties, due to the low-absorption cross section of the chlorine molecules and the low degree of dissociation of the chlorine molecules obtainable with conventional flashtubes. In the past, the above difficulties were overcome with the use of higher chlorine concentrations [ 1 1 or longer absorbing paths . In this work, we have used a coaxial flashlamp, which can achieve a high degree of dissociation, owing to the close optical coupling between the photolyzing source and the sample.
The experiments were performed with a flash photolysis apparatus which employs a coaxial flashlamp and operates in the kinetic mode. The coaxial flashlamp, powered by a low capacitor of 1.5 pF and charged to a high

The recombination of chlorine atoms has been investigated by flash photolysis in the inert gases He, Ne, Ar, Nz, COz, CF4, SiFd, SF6, and C2F6. The pressure dependence of the reaction has been measured between 0.5 and about 100 atm for He, Na, and COZ. Experiments on the NO-catalyzed recombination o

## Abstract The recombination of bromine atoms at room temperature has been studied by flash photolysis in the range of 1β100 atm of the inert diluent He, leading to a value for the thirdβorder rate constant of (1.5 Β± 0.2) Γ 10^15^ cm^6^/mol^2^.sec. In the presence of NO the recombination is consid
