Thermal Energy Reaction Rate Constants for H+ and CO+ with O and NO

Abstract
Thermal energy rate constants for the charge transfer of CO+ with O and NO have been measured to be 1.4 and 3.3 × 10−10cm3/sec at 300°K. The rate constants for H+ with O and NO are 3.8 and 19 × 10−10cm3/sec . The H+ + O charge‐transfer data agree remarkably well with the value extrapolated from crossed‐beam studies at much higher energies.
