Infrared absorption spectroscopy and chemical kinetics of free radicals: Progress report. [Reactions and spectra of C/sub 2/H (ethynl radical)]

Rate constants for reactions of C/sub 2/H (ethynyl radical) with various gases (C/sub 2/H/sub 2/, H/sub 2/O/sub 2/ etc.) were measured. Gas phase electronic transitions of C/sub 2/H and C/sub 2/D were studies. (DLC)
