Abstract
Intense spectra of triatomic radicals have been produced by means of a surface reaction of hydrogen atoms, formed by a microwave discharge in flowing gas, with diatomic oxides. Failure of this method to produce detectable formyl radicals is attributed to existence of an activation energy greatly exceeding 200 cm−1 for reaction of H with CO. New NH and ND fundamental vibrations of HNO and DNO, at 2,719 and 2,043 cm−1, are now consistent with the known large bond length. The weak absorption due to the bending mode of DO2 has at last been located at 1,085.3 cm−1, enabling a vibrational assignment for hydroperoxyl radical to be completed.
