Evaluated chemical kinetics data for reactions of N(D-2), N(P-2), and N2(A(3)Sigma(+)(u)) in the gas phase

Chemical kinetics data for the gas phase reactions of the first two electro nically excited states of atomic nitrogen: N(D-2) and N(P-2), and of the fi rst excited state of molecular nitrogen N-2(A (3)Sigma(u)(+)) are compiled and evaluated. The experimental data for 127 reactions are summarized, the experimental method and year of publication given, a recommended value give n for the rate constant for each reaction at 298 K, and where possible, its temperature dependence. The reaction mechanisms are discussed within the l imits of the available quantitative product yield data. The literature has been covered through early 1999,There are 94 references.
