title: Kinetics of the CN + HCNO reaction.
abstract: The kinetics of the CN + HCNO reaction were studied using laser-induced fluorescence and infrared diode laser absorption spectroscopy. The total rate constant was measured to be k(T) = (3.95 +/- 0.53) x 10(-11) exp[(287.1 +/- 44.5)/T] cm3 molec(-1) s(-1), over the temperature range 298-388 K, with a value of k1 = (1.04 +/- 0.1) x 10(-10) cm3 molec(-1) s(-1) at 298 K. After detection of products and consideration of secondary chemistry, we conclude that NO + HCCN is the only major product channel.
