Diode-Laser Study of the Product Branching Ratio of the NH2(X B-2(1))+no2 Reaction
The reaction of NH2(X B-2(1)) with NO2 was studied at room temperature using time-resolved infrared diode laser spectroscopy to detect N2O, H2O, and NO products, The N2O + H2O product channel was found to have a branching ratio of 0.14 +/- 0.02. Large amounts of NO were detected, bur secondary sources of this species prevent a quantitative determination of the branching ratio into the H2NO + NO channel. These results are in contrast to previously published branching ratio data.
