Abstract
Rate coefficients have been measured over the temperature range 250–370°K for the three‐body recombination of O(3P) with CO. Earlier results at 300°K have been re‐evaluated and were found to have been influenced by unknown impurities in the CO, which have now been removed by more elaborate purification methods. For CO as the third body, the rate constant is given by k = 6.5 × 10−33 exp(−4340 ± 550/RT) cm6 molecule−2·sec−1 . For N2 and CO2, the 296°K rate constants are 2.3 and 6.2 × 10−36 cm6 molecule−2·sec−1 , respectively.
