“…Using this expression, the reaction cross section value extrapolated down to 150 K is 39.6 Å 2 , giving a rate constant of 1.03 × 10 −9 cm 3 s −1 at 150 K. This should be checked experimentally, but until then, we recommend a rate constant value of 1.0 × 10 −9 cm 3 s −1 at 150 K, with an uncertainty of 50% which includes the value at 300 K. Table 8 summarizes the product branching ratio data of the N + 2 + C 2 H 2 reaction. C 2 H + 2 is the only significant product observed by Nicolas (2002), which is in agreement with Anicich et al (2004), Warneck (1972) and with the recent work at low temperature −9 cm 3 s −1 ) which are the only published rate constant data for this reaction, is not explained by the authors (see Table 6). However, the experimental conditions are substantially different, with a higher pressure in the case of Anicich et al (2004) inducing secondary reactions.…”
