The reactions of N(2P) with O2 and O

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.464515

We have studied the kinetics of metastable N(²P) with atomic and molecular oxygen.The measurements were made in a discharge flow apparatus in which N(²P) was generated from the energy transfer reaction between N2(A) and ground state N(⁴S) and was monitored either by vacuum ultraviolet resonance fluorescence at 174 nm or else by observing the forbidden N(²P-⁴S) emission at 347 nm.The rate coefficient for N(²P) quenching by O2 is (2.2+/-0.4)x10^-12 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1 and that for quenching by O is (1.7+/-0.4)x10^-11 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1.One channel of the reaction between N(²P) and atomic oxygen appears to produce NO⁺ via a chemi-ionization mechanism.
