Abstract: | We demonstrate detection, in the gas-phase, of O(1D2) at concentrations down to 10(7) cm(-3) and develop this new method for time-resolved kinetic studies allowing both the total removal rate of O(1D2), of up to 1.5 x 10(6) s(-1), and the fraction quenched to O(3P(J)) by species X, k(q)/k(X), to be determined precisely from a single time profile: at 295 K we find, k(O(1D2) + N2O) = (1.43 +/- 0.08) x 10(-10) cm3 s(-1) with k(q)/k(N2O) = 0.056 +/- 0.009; k(O(1D2) + C2H2) = (3.1 +/- 0.2) x 10(-10) cm3 s(-1) with k(q)/k(C2H2) = 0.020 +/- 0.010; k(q)/k(H2O) < 0.003 for O(1D2) + H2O. |
