Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) from the (0, 0), (2, 0), (3, 0), and (2, 1) bands of the A(2)Π(3/2) X(2)Π(3/2) system of IO was detected. Using LIF detection of IO, the rate coefficients for I+O3 IO+O2 (k(1)) and IO+NO I+NO2 (k(2)) reactions were measured between 240 and 370 K to be k(1)(T)=(2.3+/-0.7) E-11 exp[-(860+/-100)/T] and k(2)(T)=(1.02+/-0.31) E-11 exp[(185+/-70)/T] cm**3 molecule**-1 s**-1.
