Dm. Golden et al., OH(OD)- MEASUREMENTS AND AN OPTIMIZED RRKM FIT(CO ), The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 102(44), 1998, pp. 8598-8606
Measurements were made for the rate constant of OH + CO + He at 293 K,
and OD + CO + M (M = He, Ar, N-2, air, SF6) at 253-343 K. Results wer
e also obtained for OH + CO in a shock tube at 1400-2600 K using OH an
d CO absorption. A two-channel RRKM model of these and other represent
ative results was constructed, with five adjustable parameters. A syst
ematic optimization method was then employed to produce the best fit o
f the data and provide predictive k(T,P,D/H) expressions for other con
ditions.
