✦ Synopsis

Experiments of two kinds have been performed to determine the vibronic state distribution in NCO(R 'II) produced in the radical-radical reaction CN t02-+NC0 t 0; A& -292 6 kJ mol-'. In both experiments, CN radicals are produced by photolysis of NCNO using a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. NC0 radicals are observed as products of the reaction with 02, either by recording laser excitation spectra at short times after the initiation of reaction, or by fixing the probe laser frequency and recording the variation of laser-induced fluorescence with the time delay between photolysis and probe lasers. NC0 is produced in a wide range of vibronic levels. Insufficient information about band intensities is available to transform the spectra into relative populations. However, the v2 bending vibration is highly excited and this mode absorbs _ SO-60% of the energy available lo the products. The stretching modes absorb x IS-20% of the energy. The implications of these results for the dynamics of reactive collisions between CN and O2 are discussed.

The reaction C( 'P) +NsO(% \*C+) is studied by varying the kinetic energy of C(3P) in two center-of-mass regimes: 0.1-0.2 eV and 2-7 eV. C( 3P) is directly observed, and the C, velocity distribution is estimated from the time-of-flight of Cs. CN(X %+) is vibrationally inverted and rotationally 'hot'

The reaction of CH2, particularly the ground electronic state triplet CH2 [l], with 0 2 is known to be very fast. The effectiveness of the reactions involving both singlet (lCH2) and triplet (3CH2) methylene was most dramatically demonstrated by the drastic effects of O2 on CO laser emissions in bot
