Rate coefficients for the reactions of cyclohexadienyl (c-C6H7) radicals with O-2 and NO at room temperature
Rate coefficients for the reactions of cyclohexadienyl (c-C6H7) radicals with 02 and NO were measured at 296 2 K. The c-C6H7 radicals were detected selectively by laser-induced fluorescence. The rate coefficient for the reaction of c-C6H7 with O-2, (4.4 +/- 0.5) x 10(-14) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), was independent of the bath-gas (He) pressure (13-80 Torr). In the reaction of c-C6H7 with NO, thermal equilibrium among c-C6H7, NO, and C6H7NO was observed. The forward and reverse reactions were in the falloff region, and the equilibrium constant was (1.5 +/- 0.6) x 10(-15) cm(3) molecule(-1). (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
