Temperature dependence of the ion–molecule reactions N++CO, C++NO, and C+, CO+, CO+2+ O2 from 90–450 K

Abstract
A variable-temperature, selected-ion flow tube was used to study the ion–molecule reactions N++CO, C++NO, C++O2, CO++O2, and CO+2+O2 over the temperature range of 90–450 K. We have measured reaction rate coefficients and have determined branching ratios for different reaction channels. The two C+ reactions are found to be essentially gas kinetic in rate for 90–450 K. The other three reaction rate coefficients are found to decrease with temperature.
