Easurements of the apparent rate constant for the reaction of iodine monoxide with chlorine monoxide to form iodine atoms

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02755367

An apparatus for measuring the resonance fluorescence signals of iodine and chlorine atoms is constructed to study iodine monoxide reaction with chlorine monoxide. A technique using the reaction of chlorine atoms with C₂H₆ is developed to calibrate the sensitivity of the apparatus to chlorine atoms. The apparent rate constants for the reaction between IO^. and ClO^. radicals producing iodine atoms was measured at 295 K k_app = (2.62 ± 0.57) × 10^-11 cm² molecule^-1s^-1.
