Experimental Study of the Reaction of OH Radicals with Carbonyl Sulfide between 365 and 960 K: Kinetics and Products
2024
Yuri Bedjanian
Reaction OH + OCS → products (1) has been studied in a discharge–flow reactor combined with modulated molecular beam mass spectrometry. The reaction rate constant has been determined under pseudo-first-order conditions through monitoring OH decays in a high excess of OCS: <i>k</i><sub>1</sub> = (2.35 ± 0.25) × 10<sup>−12</sup> exp(−(2144 ± 56)/T) cm<sup>3</sup> molecule<sup>−1</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> at T = 365–960 K (the uncertainties represent precision at the 2σ level, the total 2σ relative uncertainty including statistical and systematic errors on the rate constant being 20% at all temperatures). The rate constant of reaction (1) was found to be similar at a total helium pressure of 1, 2, and 8 torr at around 500 K. The SH radical was identified as the primary product of the reaction, and its yield was determined to be about 100% at T = 500 and 750 K. The kinetic and mechanistic data from the present study are compared to previous experimental and theoretical work.
