Abstract: | The room temperature rate coefficient for the reaction Br+Br2O→Br2+BrO (3) has been measured using the technique of pulse-laser photolysis with long-path transient absorption detection of the BrO reaction product. A value of k3=(2.0±0.5)×10?10 cm3 molecule?1 s?1 was determined. The photolysis products of Br2O at 308 nm were also examined. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 571–576, 1998 |
