| Abstract
| - The kinetics of the OH + HCNO reaction was studied. The total rate constant was measured by LIF detectionof OH using two different OH precursors, both of which gave identical results. We obtain k = (2.69 ± 0.41)× 10-12 exp[(750.2 ± 49.8)/T] cm3 molecule-1 s-1 over the temperature range 298−386 K, with a value ofk = (3.39 ± 0.3) × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 296 K. CO, H2CO, NO, and HNO products were detectedusing infrared laser absorption spectroscopy. On the basis of these measurements, we conclude that CO +H2NO and HNO + HCO are the major product channels, with a minor contribution from H2CO + NO.
