Abstract
Time-resolved frequency-modulation spectroscopy is shown to be an effe ctive method for measuring the rates of gas-phase reactions. As an exa mple, the rate constant for the reaction of CN with C2H4 at 298 K is m easured to be 2.5 +/- 0.2 X 10(-10) cm(3)s(-1), in good agreement with other literature values. The efficiency and sensitivity of this techn ique will be of interest to the chemical kineticist. (C) 1997 John Wil ey & Sons, Inc.
