Axis system in C=O and N-0 bonds: X = C, N.atoms, as compared with the values for otherwise similar but non-hydrogen-bonded atoms.7 The experimental data presented here corroborate the theoretical results (see also Figure 2 of ref 7 ) .In addition to the direct study of hydrogen bonding in the form of geometrical interpretation of the I7O NQR data, the results presented here and in the previous paper facilitate the analysis of the electronic effects that are reflected in the I7O NQR data. For example, the carbonyl group in 4(1H)-pyridinone is structurally similar to that in p-benzoquinone, but has a quite different quadrupole coupling constant, 8.33 vs. 11.51 MHz.14 A large portion of the difference in the values of the quadrupole coupling constant is probably due to the effect of hydrogen bonding in 4(1H)-pyridinone, although the solid-state structure of this compound is not known. If we assume that the length of the hydrogen bond is the same as is found in 2(1H)-pyridinone (2.77 A),'5 then we can estimate the effect of hydrogen bonding on the 170 quadrupole coupling constant to be about 1.0 MHz. Because this still leaves a large difference of 2.2 MHz between the two oxygen sites, one can infer that there exists a significant difference in the electronic environment of the two carbonyl groups. The lower quadrupole coupling constant in 4( 1H)-pyridinone suggests a much larger oxygen 2p, population.In summary, we have presented 1 7 0 NQR data for several hydrogen-bonded systems. The experimental data support the results of a previous theoretical study. The results demonstrate that hydrogen bonding in the solid state is amenable to study by 170 NQR techniques. Secondly, the effects of hydrogen bonding upon the electric field gradient can be estimated, thus aiding in the further analysis of intramolecular electronic effects on the 1 7 0 NQR data. ~ ~~~~~ (14) Hsieh,Y.; Koo, J. C.; Hahn, E. L.The reactions of OH with benzene, toluene, 1,4-dimethylbenzene, and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene have been investigated in a discharge flow system at total pressures of 6-12 torr. In the presence of NO, NOz, and O2 the intermediate radicals are converted quantitatively to stable products from which two major reaction pathways are identified. Abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the methyl group by OH leads primarily to the corresponding aldehyde, and addition to the aromatic ring by OH gives primarily the corresponding phenols. Nitro substitution of the aromatics via the OH adduct competes with phenol formation; however, the amount depends on the ratio of NOz/Oz. In the case for toluene, the ratio of rate constants, kNOf/kol, for the two processes is (4 f 2) X lo3. The isomer distributions for OH addition to toluene were determined to be 0.806 f 0.022 ortho, 0.051 f 0,009 meta, 0.143 & 0.019 para, and <0.008 ipso. The contributions of methyl attack (k,) relative to total reaction (kl + k2) are 0.15 f 0.02 for toluene, 0.15 f 0.02 for 1,4-dirnethylbenzene, and 0.021 f 0.006 for 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene.

The rate coefficient for the quenching of N(²D) by O(³P) has been measured by using an afterglow source and resonance absorption detection for N(²D). Quenching by known concentrations of O atoms, generated by NO titration of a nitrogen discharge, was compared with the quenching by O2, N2O, and CO2, for which the rate coefficients are well known. The rate constant for N(²D) quenching by O(³P) derived in this manner is (1.8 ± 0.6) × 10−12 cm³ molecule−1 s−1 at 315°K. A small increase with temperature in this rate constant relative to that for O2 was found, consistent with an activation energy of 1 ± 0.5 kcal/mol for N(²D) + O(³P).
