Abstract
The rate constant for the reaction
has been determined by means of vacuum ultraviolet flash photolysis and timeβresolved kinetic spectroscopic observations of the 1504βΓ
absorption band of CH~3~. The measurements made using three different sources of methyl radicals (azomethane, dimethylmercury, and keteneβhydrogen) were in accord and yielded a value for the rate constant of k~1~ = (9.53 Β± 1.17) Γ 10^β11^ cc molec^β1^ sec^β1^. A detailed error analysis is presented. The fβvalue for the 1504βΓ
band of CH~3~ is determined to be (2.5 Β± 0.7) Γ 10^β2^.
