✦ Synopsis


CH 3 NH 2 thermal decomposition is shown to provide a suitable NH 2 radical source for spectroscopic and kinetic shock tube studies. Using this precursor, the absorption coefficient of the NH 2 radical at a detection wavelength of 16739.90 cm Ϫ1 has been determined. In the temperature range 1600-2000K the low-pressure absorption coefficient is described by the polynominal equation: k NH2 ϭ 3.953 ϫ 10 10 /T 3 ϩ 7.295 ϫ 10 5 /T 2 Ϫ 1.549 ϫ 10 3 /T [atm Ϫ1 cm Ϫ1 ] The uncertainty of the determined absorption coefficient is estimated to be Ϯ10%. The rate of the thermal decomposition reaction

is determined over the temperature range 1550-1900 K and at pressures near 1.6 atm. The rate coefficient was found to be:

The uncertainty of the determined rate coefficients is estimated to be Ϯ20%.
