Jd. Desain et al., Temperature dependence and deuterium kinetic isotope effects in the HCO(DCO)+O-2 reaction between 296 and 673 K, CHEM P LETT, 347(1-3), 2001, pp. 79-86
The reactions HCO (DCO) + O-2 have been measured by the laser photolysis/CW
laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) method from 296 to 673 K, probing the (B-
2 A ' - X-2 A ') HCO (DCO) system. The HCO (DCO) + O-2 rate coefficients ar
e 5.63 +/- 0.31 and 5.61 +/- 0.23 x 10(-12) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1), respe
ctively, at 296 K; both are nearly independent of temperature between 296 a
nd 673 K. The observed deuterium kinetic isotope effect is within the error
estimate of previous measurements but is significantly smaller than recent
theoretical predictions. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
