Disproportionation and combination reactions of isopropoxy radicals with nitric oxide

Polarization of cyanogen(B2.SIGMA.+-X2.SIGMA.+) emission produced in collision of argon(3P0,2) with bromine cyanide (BrCN)

“…[XCN]* precursor dissociates to produce CN(B), as in the case of photodissociation or electron-impact dissociation;7 (2) in the "reactive" mechanism, an [Rg+CN-]* complex is formed.9 No clear understanding has yet been given as to which mechanism is dominant in the Ar(3 ***P0>2)/BrCN system. The polarization and its collision energy dependence measured in the present study are used for discussion of these mechanisms with the aid of the studies on the polarization of chemiluminescence by Zare et al14,15 and by Simons et al [16][17][18][19][20] Figure 1. Degree of polarization of the CN(B2S+-X2Z+) emission plotted against the average collision energy of the reactants.…”
