✦ Synopsis

We report electron impact and 266 nm MPI data obtained using an aniline/aniline-2.3,4,5,6-d, mixture which indicate that both the rapid and the metastable decomposition reactions &H,NH$ -CsHg. t HNC in the aniline system have two components. The major component involves the loss of a hydrogen atom originally attached to the nitrogen atom in the aniline molecule whereas the minor component involves the loss of a hydrogen atom originally attached to the ring. The relative rate constants for the two metastable decomposition reactions in aniline-2,3,4,5,6-d, have been measured.
