title: Kinetics of the NCO + HCNO reaction.
abstract: The kinetics of the NCO + HCNO reaction were studied using infrared diode laser absorption spectroscopy. The total rate constant was measured to be k(1) = (1.58 +/- 0.20) x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) at 298 K. After detection of products and consideration of secondary chemistry (primarily O + HCNO and CN + HCNO), we conclude that NO + CO + HCN is the major product channel (phi = 0.92 +/- 0.04), with a minor contribution (phi = 0.04 +/- 0.02) from CO2 + HCNN.
